um, no, that wouldn't be a short, that would be a char. While "short" and "long" aren't guaranteed to be the same thing on all systems, a short is always at least 16 bits, according to my reference. (and, besides that, always a larger type than char)
Which means that you have the same number of lines, only you get to see them at an almost-reasonable 60Hz, rather than a seizure-inducing 60Hz-interlaced.:)
Yeah. I don't get how people can play a game on a little portion of screen that's only about 243 usable lines tall. Doesn't matter how big your TV is, how the hell do you _see_ anything in that?
Of course, all slashdotters already knew that Ohio's votes would be delivered to the President, so that was no surprise last Tuesday night. What I don't get are the Floridians. How did the polls manage to be so unrepresentative?
that if a candidate ran on a platform of "I hate baseball and apple pie, and I eat babies for breakfast", 51% of the voters would still vote for him if he was nominated by the Republican party. Most people know nothing about any "issues", they just know how to pull the red or blue lever like they're told. And, before I get flamed, the Democrats are no less guilty, they're just slightly less numerous.
If proportional voting were proposed at the Federal level I'd support it 100% and I think a lot of other Americans would too.
Maybe, maybe not. The "problem" with proportional votes is that it takes power away from whoever's in the majority, therefore it will be opposed by whoever's in the majority, therefore it will never be approved. So, some people who would be against proportional allocation would include: almost every Democrat in California, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, and almost every Republican in any midwest or southern state. Last I checked, that's a lot of people. Last I checked, amending the constitution takes overwhelming support.
It's a CD with mostly-live-performance mixes of various Final Fantasy battle themes. The quality varies, but personall I think that "The Decisive Battle" and "Force Your Way" are enough to make it worthwhile. "Force Your Way" is the main battle theme from FF VIII; it's not the strongest in the original, but the remix is sweet.
By "about 40" you mean "less than 30", right? And by "$70 before shipping" you mean "$60 with free shipping", right?
As for 7200RPM 80GB SATA hard drives, how about $67 with free shipping for one from Western Digital with 8MB buffer?
The first two are really barrel-scrapers, but you were pretending that such prices don't exist even at the cheapest places. Wise up. That's certainly not "crackpot". Oh, and learn to spell crackpot.
Imagine a "virtual map" when you look down, that knows where you are, and filters to whatever sorts of features you're looking for, say, restaurants. And when you decide where you want to go, you get a "follow the yellow brick road" feature superimposed on the world.
Check the summary. It uses, as could be assumed anyway, EM radiation. That's really about all you need to know. If it uses EM to do jamming, then it has the potential to fry stuff.
As for the other part, have you ever considered the possibility that the parent poster chose to make a post complaining about satellite jamming rather than something else because the article is about satellite jamming, and not something else? And therefore that the OP is on topic, while you are just ranting?
Has liberated 50 million people from totalitarian regimes, including liberated millions of women from the yolk of religious oppression.
Oh, man. Absolutely sigged. Oh no! It's the yolk of opression! It's going to get me, um, gooey and yellow or something.
But it shouldn't really be a surprise that Bush's supporters tend to have Bush's great grammatical skill, and the spelling ability of his daddy's veep.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go out behind the Bushes.
I used to be a huge wmaker fan, but I gave it up when moving to KDE 3, because of the lack of full support. But kwin isn't quite as capable as wmaker; maybe once it hits Debian sid, I'll give a shot to running kde+wmaker and see how it goes.
No, that doesn't make sense. Try substituting it in. Albeit introduces some sort of contrast, like a fancy "but" or "although". For example, "carbon is compressed into diamond in a simple, albeit lengthy, process." But if the summary was trying to say something like that, then it would have the spirit of "they had to pick from a lot of candidates, but the process was lengthy". Oh yeah. Real suspense there. There's no call for albeit at all. It just doesn't work.
Indeed, about the same thing happened to me; I started out with Slackware 4, and had a lot of fun screwing with it, trying to get it as nice as possible. And then, when 7 came out (transitioning from libc5 to glibc2 and skipping two whole major numbers in the process), the upgrade completely fscked my system. So, I figured that before I reinstalled Slack, I should see what else was out there. I tried Redhat, and it locked up in the installer. I tried Caldera (haha), and it was just generally stupid. Then I tried this Debian thing everyone was talking about, and it was easy to get set up, and it felt comfortable. It was like they managed to cross the "don't get in the user's way" attitude of Slack with enough automation that doing everything myself didn't get in the way either.
Nowadays when I want to install a fresh system, what do I use? Knoppix, of course. The hd-install script is a little rough, but suitable for someone who knows what they're doing, and what you get is a Debian unstable system, with a beautiful desktop environment already set up for you. My policy on choosing a distro has always been "use whatever takes the least screwing with to get how you want it", and currently Debian/Knoppix fits the bill perfectly.
Gnutella is more like generation 1.5 than generation 3; Gnutella was first "released" in spring of 2000, when Napster was still big, and received much of its popularity the first time Napster was taken down. Most of the real development that was ever done on the original Gnutella was done by September of 2001. Meanwhile, Kazaa and the FastTrack protocol didn't come out until 2001.
The Gnutella stuff that's out there today is a "new" Gnutella protocol, which really bears no resemblance to the original Gnutella. But on the other hand, that's a good thing; the original protocol was about the least efficient thing imaginable.:)

I think that answers all of them, albeit with somewhat of a grammar failure. It would seem to be available through Cingular's, AT&T's, and Sprint's services, wherever they are available, now.

You've got a point. Just wait for someone to draft up the Uniting and Strengthening America by Putting Army Tanks Right In Our Towns act! ;)

Is that why they're so anxious to go there? So they can build their secret research bases and open the gates to hell? It all makes sense now!
Considering how quickly mp3.com's "Beam It" service died, I'd say that the general feeling is that it's not legal.

And on that topic, don't forget VGMix either.

Okay, now add augmented reality. :)

Mod parent up!
Not because it's really that deep, but because he's fighting against the people who say stupid uninformed crap and get modded up anyway.

The criteria for being a "big word" have never included length. Just think: "nor" is a big word for most people ;)

Who cares about releases? I can get updated packages every day if I want to. And if there are security updates, it's probably a good idea, too.

It's not even the best quote anyway. It can't possibly match up to "First come smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire."
