Tom, do you have children? I'm just wondering, because that statement doesn't sound like one coming from a parent. I have 11m and a 2.5y sons. I have watched them sleep, and I think people don't give children the credit they deserve.
What I've been wondering is do they track that the download has COMPLETED? Although possible, I doubt it. So just start/stop it a few hundred times to do your part.
It appears by disecting their download page code, that this image is the counter for their downloads...

If we all did this, the guy should have to swim to the moon.
You shoudl try need for speed underground... Basicly, the concept is you're driving around a city at break-neck speeds, and as you are driving around, you see billboards for McDonalds, and everything else you'd see ads for.
Then there are some race tracks (think indy, on the winding, up and down tracks) that have ads for Kuhmo, Yokohamo, Mopar, etc... Just like when I watch it on TV.
It really does fit, adds realism, and I don't really give a damn.
I wasted enough time looking at the old maps, just plain vector maps, thinking it was so cool how computers can find my house, and give directions to someplace on the other side of the country.
Now I'm going to spend countless more hours checking out how things have changed, finding places (dirt pits, rivers, powerline cuts, firebreaks, hidden government buildings) that I didn't know were there, and sending people pictures of their homes...
I'm not going to bother reading it, because it's long, confusing and boring. I'm going to give my stock answer to anything involving Canada, simply because once again, it holds true...
Lets' invade!!!Someone tell bush that they are the REAL target.
Now the spyware on all my users's machines will have a processor all to themselves. That means the users will have the second processor to run Word, excel, et al...
That means they'll leave me alone and quit bitching about slow machines for a while! Woohoo! Oh, and will help that winword.exe that keeps crashing and staying backgrounded. Woot!
(Yes, I know the spyware will take over both proc's. Let me dream)
Could someone please hack/. and remove The editors' access to the site? You can return it tomorrow. Also, get rid of the new circuit board textured graphics as well. God I hope that's a 4/1 joke as well...
I have a wife and two chilren. I get no respect. I get walked all over. My wife stays at home. She works hard at what she does. But obviously doesn't respect me or what I do because the moment I get home from the office. I have to take over her job.... So her hours are 8-5 while mine are 7-7...
I'm all for free speech. As a Christian, if there was no free speach, I would not be able to proclaim the gospel legally if it wasn't for free speach. But let me take that hat off and put my parent hat on.
I have two boys. They know they would never be allowed to play those games in my house. They know that they dare not TRY to buy them, even if the minimum wage worker at EBGames/Walmart/Target/Blockbuster WOULD sell it to them. I've done my due dilligance in teaching them what's acceptable and what is not. Even cartoons these days meant for kids are terrible (Recess on the disney channel last week: "How's it hanging principal whoever" and don't forget rugrat's Dr. Lipshitz)
BUT, my kids go to public schools. They have friends that go to public schools. They have friends who's parents I have not done a criminal background check on. Am I supposed to lock my kids up until I can get a background check on every person they may come in contact with, and an inventory of every game that they ever purcase? No. I think there should be limits to what's reasonable. Where's that line? I don't know, but it needs to be somewhere or eventually we're going to have games that are manuals for anarchy and death. We're not far from that now.
I guess you can tell I'm conservative, and not a big HRC fan, but I must say, "Keep dissin'"
Like the others, I'd suggest picasa. You're going to have a hard time getting any program to bypas the printer's option screen. Most programs are just going to send data to the printer's API, then the driver handles it from there. Other than that, Picasa does a great job organizing, and a pretty good job with the rest of the stuff. I know it will do straignten, crop, redey, contrast, colorlevels... I think it may do noise as well.
And don't forget, the prices is great. I think the MSRP is $0, but if you go to picasa.com I think you can get it for less.
Heh, I think they must have been talking about Paint Shop Pro... It's the second best thing out there, and boy is there a huge gap... And I think gimp must be 3rd.
I agree, and I love the fact I can just type in php.net/functionname and it will get me what I want. And if It doesn't have what I thought it would have, it reverts to a search. Sweet! Now, if they could do a live tie-in to that data, it would be awesome because the PHP 4.1 reference they have in there now is severly lacking.
Well, a 512MB DIMM is going for $80 at bestbuy, partition magic is selling there for $70.
Glad she's got a pagefile and not a partition.
Disclaimer: All of this is for the sake of argument. My mom actually is running OSX. (She's been on a mac since 7.1. I won't allow her to get a windows machine.) I haven't used it much unfortunatly, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have any partitions for VM. As a matter of fact, according to this http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Performan ce/Conceptual/ManagingMemory/Concepts/AboutMemory. html, they do use pagefiles, swapfiles, or whatever you want to call it. The point is, they are files, not paritions.
Wow, it seems like they JUST released the last one. And as far as the file browser is concerned, take it out... I don't use it. I'd bet most people don't.
Now I wish Macromedia would give dreameaver would get an update though. First off, work on stability and memory usage... man, what a hog. It seems like half the program is written in javascript. (Yes, I'm serious, those who use it know what I'm talking about) And the built in PHP documentation? Severly lacking. Some places it gives a 1 sentence description of what the function does, but doesn't show any of it's features or values. And rarely shows any demo code...
I think this is a fine idea for a server with competent sysadmins, but not so good for an end user...
Say, a rule of thumb is, your page file is 2x the size of your physical memory. My mom takes her computer to best buy, and she goes from 128MB of memory to 512MB... typical situation. Now, her windows pagefile will grow accordingly. Or if I manage it for her, I would manually change it. But what if I had to tell her, "well now we have to remove everything on your computer to resize your paritions"?
Where in the US are we going to be able to see this?? I'm assuming PBS, same as before... but will we get it in a timely manner? Months, years later? If not PBS... who else does BBC shows? No One? Only those with the BBC channel (sattelite and some digital cable)???
Why do we have to shut them down.
This is kinda like the remote computers that I leave up in a closed office. Yeah, no one is using them anymore, but I keep them running all the time, because eventually I may need to get to them. Once they're shut off, turning them back on is Hell for me, impossible for NASA. It doesn't take any effort for me to ignore them, they're in condition that no one else can mess with them... Who are they bothering? JUST LEAVE THEM ON AND IGNORE THEM. That's a lot better than shutting them off.
No, the newton was not wrong, it just came out to early... Just like the quicktake (I think that was the name of their digital camera.) The newton was a great product that people who had them still use today. It was as small as could it could be considering when it came out. Unfortunatly they didn't stick with it long enough and they discontinued it around the time the Palm came out. It's major flaws were size and price, and both were high because of WHEN it came out.
Now, wouldn't it be wonderful if apple came out with a new PDA that was as successfull as the iPod? It will have to work with windows, have a wonderful color screen play MP3's (but not so well it competes with the Shuffle) bluetooth/Firewire/USB2, classic apple lines... Goodby Axim, iPaq, Clie, Zire, Tungsten. Oh yeah, sorry Clie.
Ok, this is probably very stupid, but I don't have the answer myself.
My understanding: Our sun is a big ball of hydrogen that because of it's immense gravity is compressed into helium (the fusion part) which gives off immense amounts of engery.
The stupid me part: I know there's "fire" out there, so what keeps it from going up all at once like the hindenburg? Not enough oxygen to light? Looking here:http://www.krysstal.com/solarsys_sun.html it shows the sun is 92% H and.061 O. That supports my guess, but it's just that.
Thanks

I hope you mean they are going to sell them for slightly less, or not to many people are going to buy them together...

How about a picture of THE STINKING ROSE!! PROVE IT! Illustrations don't cut the mustard...
