but my girlfriend did get a bit nauseous. If looking at your girlfriend makes you want to spew (and assuming you're unable to find a new girlfriend who doesn't have that effect on you), I've found that the paper bag over the head trick works fairly well.
The stores are full of expensive digital TV sets, but I can't see much sign that many people are actually buying them. Only one of our friends has one and that is because their living room TV expired and they had to buy a replacement.
Stores are full of cheap DTV sets too, seeing that the FCC mandated that by March 1, 2007, all new TVs imported into the U.S. or shipped in interstate commerce must contain a digital tuner. (And TVs with a 25" or larger screen have had to contain digital tuners since July 1, 2006). Wal-Mart has plenty of 19" CRT TVs with digital tuners for about $100.
Let me get this straight.. you said "everything they have is pre-intel" So they have a non intel mac pro ?? I see reading comprehension is not your forte.
I claim that I had commented on what you wrote. As support for this claim, I point out to you that I quoted one of the things you wrote, and directly responded to that.
If that's what you think you did, you need to work on your reading comprehension.
So, I have a contract with you to buy 10000 widgets painted in red Du Point paint. And, 3m pays you money to paint them in a 3m yellow. Is that OK? Yes, it's perfectly ok: I pay you whatever amount of money we agreed on, and you give me the 10'000 widgets painted in red. No, you got the 10000 widgets painted in yellow. Where do you get the idea that you got any red widgets?
Watts per time is Power, which is what the electric company sells you. KiloWatt hours. Don't attempt to correct people if you don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.
Thats still hard-drive related, and is exactly what this thread is bitching about... inconsistency.
The post I was responding to said that the prefixes had a "consistent exception"--that kilo always mean *1000, except when referring to bytes, in which case it meant *1024. My point is that even that exception isn't consistent. There are many cases that can't be blamed on "marketing" where a kilobyte is 1000 bytes, a megabyte is 1000000 bytes, etc...
I agree that "kibi" sounds stupid, but that's not a very good reason to use incorrect and potentially confusing terminology instead.
It might be, for a newcomer, initially confusing that a kilobyte is 1024 bytes instead of 1000 bytes, but the original scheme is a consistent exception. The powers of 2 apply to bytes and only bytes, nothing else. 1Km = 1000 meters. 1KW = 1000 Watts. 1KB = 1024 bytes. 1 KN = 1000 Newtons. Not completely uniform, but there is no ambiguity.
So... the burst transfer rate of a Ultra DMA/66 hard drive is 66.666...MB/s, right? Is that 66,666,667 bytes/second or 69,905,067 bytes/second?
The answer is the former. According to the specs, UDMA66 transfers 4 bytes every 60ns. 1MB = 1000000 bytes.
In 10.4.11 Despite all the rumors of 10.4.11 being released "real soon now," the latest 10.4.* is still 10.4.10. I suspect your problem is using a beta/pre-release OS.
While I'm no PowerShell expert, I did try to use it as my primary shell for a few weeks (I normally do as much as I can in CMD.EXE), and it seems to me that it's great for writing scripts, but not very good for interactive use. For example, say I want to do the equivalent of MSDOS dir/o-d (show the contents of the current directory sorted by descending modification date, or ls -lt in Unix parlance). To do that in PowerShell seems to require this incantation: ls|sort lastwritetime -des. Not exactly as easy to type as the DOS or Unix versions. Or dir/ad to show only the directories in the current dir: In PS, ls|? {$_.psiscontainer}. The issue seems to be that the commands are all very generic--ls is actually an alias for get-childitem, which returns the children of any container object, not just directories. It works for registry trees, Active Directory domains, and various other stuff too. While this is definitely good in many situations, sometimes it's nice to have the command know what it's working on and have options specific to the type of data it'll be returning.
Now if there's a more compact way of doing that stuff, I'd love to hear it. And no, setting up aliases doesn't count; that strikes me as a cheesy workaround... Having to come up with aliases in advance for these little tasks that I may want to do in the future is not my idea of a good interactive shell.
will it run on the old G4's ?
Yes,... 867MHz+ PPC. Isn't that a "new G4", rather than an "old G4"? I bet Leopard's not supported on my PowerMac with two 500MHz G4s.
In the same line, what use is having our UPS power output sold as VA (Volt*Amp) instead of watts (W) ? Because power generation equipment (either the electric company, a generator, a UPS, or whatever) needs to deliver apparent power, which is measured in VA. If your computer uses 200W of real power, but 300VA of apparent power, a UPS that can deliver 250VA isn't sufficient. Look up power factor for more details.
Look at Thailand's ex prime minister there is an arrest warrant out on him for stealing hundreds of millions of tax payers money and he is suspected of funding multiple bombings in Bangkok. He is a terrorist but the UK welcomes him with open arms and lets him buy a football club with Thailand's tax payers money. DOUBLE STANDARDS. Speaking of junta... guess who's making those claims? That's right, the junta that staged a coup d'etat against Thailand's ex-PM. There's no actual evidence that he's done any of that stuff though. He made his huge fortune as a telecom tycoon--before he became PM. Right place at the right time, and all that.
Apple released the sales figures, and they sold 270,000 units during the first two days, not 700,000. Ahem -- the 270,000 number is for the first two days only, and only includes one full day of sales (Saturday) plus the people who stood in line on Friday. The numbers for Sunday, and thus the first weekend, are unknown. Yes, I think we're all clear that the 270,000 is for the first two days. As for Sunday sales, do you seriously think that they sold anywhere near 400,000 units that day? While releasing the Q3 numbers, Apple also mentioned that they hope to sell their millionth iPhone by end of Q4--i.e., they haven't gotten there yet, and are expecting it to take a few more months to hit that number. (So much for those claims that Apple had already hit the million mark, huh?)
Lynx is a furry, though. Would you rather be gay or a furry? Huh? There's no dichotomy possible--all furries are gay. Hence the command, "YIFF IN HELL FURFAGS"
However, I also am not aware of the political climate in Thailand, so for all I know the king has absolutely no power over what's happening and no influence over those doing it, and if that's the case then I'm obviously very wrong and I apologize.
Thailand is a constitutional monarchy (or at least it was, until the junta seized power); the king only has ceremonial duties, and has no actual control over the government. He also stated in his 2005 birthday speech that he doesn't believe that the lese majeste laws are right. Despite that, the government continues its attempts to enforce it, and recently convicted a drunken Swiss guy of defacing portraits of the king. However, the king pardoned the guy and has also mentioned that he'd pardon anyone who was imprisoned for lese majeste.
So, it seems pretty clear to me that the king of Thailand is not involved in any of Thailand's anti-YouTube policies.
What's so special about SoHu's (or Google's) IME anyway? I use the IME that comes with Windows XP (Microsoft New Phonetic IME 2002a) and find it perfectly adequate.
1. adjust word location by how frequently it's used in the past. So most frequently used words are shift to the front, making selection much faster. Typically they should fit into the first page (no scrolling required).
MS's IME does this.
2. allow partial input for common phrases. This inputs a whole phrase at once, each character only requiring the first English letters. It speeds up input significantly.
MS's IME doesn't do the "partial input" part, but it does have a phrase list and will automatically select the right characters from among the homophones--you do, however, have to enter the complete pinyin/zhuyin. You can also define your own user phrase list.
Ban probably actually due to anti-junta vids
on
Thailand Bans YouTube
·
· Score: 1, Insightful
I suspect the ban is really to prevent people from watching videosprotestingthecoup--the video showing someone defacing a picture of the king is just a diversion. Protesting the junta was prohibited under martial law, and the media wasn't allowed to report on any protests. If news about the protests were widespread, more people would be emboldened to join in the protests themselves. Restrictions have eased up a bit after martial law was lifted in a few provinces, but the junta isn't happy about it--just a few days ago, the junta leader called for emergency rule to be declared so he can quash the protesters.
You can go to jail for things that aren't criminal.
Not in the US you can't. "A person convicted of a crime may pay a fine or be incarcerated or both. People who are held responsible in civil cases may have to pay money damages or give up property, but do not go to jail or prison. (We don't have "debtors' prisons" for those who can't pay a civil judgment.)"--http://criminal.findlaw.com/articles/ 1376.html. You may find more useful info there explaining the difference between criminal and civil cases.
it gave great video quality to DVDs... and LASERDISCS. Seeing that the video on an LD is composite video, component out would be fairly pointless. I believe there was only one player that had component out, the Pioneer DVL-919 (and just because a LD player with component out exists doesn't mean it's not pointless).
