This is a fairly common *NIX shell (well, at least Bourne shell) idiom.
Bourne shell? No, it's a csh thing... although bash has picked it up. Neither original Bourne nor pdksh do brace expansion. If you require traditional sh compatibility in bash, run "bash +B" to turn off brace expansion.
Because that won't fit in a 32-bit integer. The serial number field is just that--a number. However, it's a 32-bit number, so it can't be greater than 4294967295. Other than that, who cares what format it's in, as long as it increases whenever the zone is changed?
Eh, a 10/100 card is overkill for an LC II... just get an old ISA NE2000 clone from Goodwill or something. Wedge the card into one of those slots off to the right; it'll work fine. NE2000 drivers are really easy to find too.
Can anyone explain the difference between parallel and cross eyed stereo vision?
For the parallel ones, you use your left eye to look at the picture on the left and your right eye to look at the picture on the right. Since normally, both eyes look at the same place, you need to let your eyes drift apart.
For the crosseyed ones, you use your left eye to look at the picture on the right and your right eye to look at the picture on the left. I.e., you cross your eyes slightly.
You mention it in your post, so you must know what it does, which makes me wonder what why you're asking... like the page you linked says, you can get software that will convert Atari ROM files to WAVs, which you can then record onto CD or cassette tape. C source code is available. Looks like it only works with certain file sizes in order to prevent you from encoding something that's not a cart ROM image, but it'd be trivial to remove that check.
So there you go--software that will encode a file as audio that'll survive being recorded to tape. Should survive MP3 compression too; it's just frequency shift keying, like the old 300 baud modems. No info is being encoded in the phase of the tones...
I can't believe timekeepers add 1 leap second EVERY year...
No, they don't add (or subtract) a leap second every year; they do it whenever it's needed. And up until 1999, it had been needed every year or two, which is why it's a bit unusual that we haven't needed one in 5 years. See the complete list of leap seconds.
JPEG doesn't have any percentage quality scale... maybe the software you use to make JPEGs does (many do), but it's not something inherent to JPEG compression. Chances are that 75% in one program does something different from 75% in another.
JPEG discards information in two ways: chroma subsampling (the 4:4:4, 4:2:2, 4:2:0, 4:1:1, etc...), and DCT coefficient quantizing (well, there's roundoff errors in the computations too, but that's an implementation issue, not part of the algorithm). They're independent of each other, so you can have 75% on the quantizing scale (whatever that might mean in your software), but 4:4:4 color sampling (no color information discarded). Check out The GIMP's JPEG dialog for an example... there's the quality slider that goes from 0 to 1, and the subsampling dropdown.
So, although the software you use might do it that way, it's not necessarily the case that 100% implies 4:4:4 color sampling, and 75% implies 4:2:2 sampling.

You don't find it unusual that no matter when you run your version that uses localtime, the answer is always 1073741824, which just happens to be 2**30?
perl -we 'print "seconds left: ", ((2**30) - localtime), "\n"'
Argument "Mon Dec 22 01:44:41 2003" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at -e line 1.

This case involves a "round trip" journey, travel of the copies in question from the United States to places abroad, then back again. I join the Court's opinion recognizing that we do not today resolve cases in which the allegedly infringing imports were manufactured abroad.
The opinion refers to K mart Corp. v. Cartier, Inc., 486 U.S. 281 (1988), which might be more relevant to this situation, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.
A district court ruled in favor of L'anza, saying that the importation violated L'anza's exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute:
L'anza filed suit, alleging that petitioner's actions violated L'anza's exclusive rights under the Copyright Act of 1976 (Act), 17 U.S.C. 106 501, and 602, to reproduce and distribute the copyrighted material in the United States. The District Court rejected petitioner's "first sale" defense under 109(a) and entered summary judgment for L'anza.
However, the Supreme Court unanimously reversed that decision. "In sum, we are not persuaded by either L'anza's or the Solicitor General's textual arguments."
Sorry, this is off topic, but does anyone know where the term Zap Dingbat comes from? There is a font included with Windows called Zapf Dingbats.
As others have mentioned, the font doesn't come with Windows, but it is a fairly common font. Zap Dingbat seems to be a play on Zapf Dingbats... I don't think there's any more to it than that. If you meant where the font "Zapf Dingbats" got its name, Hermann Zapf is a famous font designer from Germany, and the dictionary will tell you what a dingbat is.
You are correct. However, I was referring to the location bar.
Then why are you changing the subject? Nobody was talking about the location bar... the point of this subthread is, as was said in the post a few levels up that you replied to, that:
...it also fools the status bar in IE. It fools it in mozilla too, but you see a nice little unprintable ascii char block after the URL.
So yes, the trick does fool Mozilla. And if you use %00 instead of %01, you don't even get the weird character after the fake domain name. Of course, spoofing the status bar isn't a huge problem, but the point is that Mozilla isn't displaying the complete URL when it should be.
This isn't a 'new IE bug', it's a 'new bug that every browser is affected by'.
So where's the bug in Firebird then? It's supposed to show http://www.microsoft.com%01@zapthedingbat.com/secu rity/ex01/vun2.htm. The bug is that if you click the link in IE, the Address bar just shows http://www.microsoft.com.
That Opera shows a warning when you go to a URL with a username in it is nice of it, but it's hardly a bug when a browser doesn't.
AFAIK, only older DVD+R drives (the ones that max out at 2x writing speed) let you change the book type. But if anyone knows how to set the book type on a Sony DRU510A or Plextor PX-504A, let me know.
Sure there are occasional passenger train systems across the nation... there are two in my general area (DART and The-T) but AMTRAK doesn't exist out here.
I assume you're in the Dallas (DART)/Ft. Worth (The T) area... maybe you meant "doesn't exist" in a figurative sense, but Amtrak definitely does exist in your area. There's a train station in downtown Ft. Worth, where the Texas Eagle stops (same place where the TRE stops). Never been on the Texas Eagle before, but I've been meaning to try an Austin to Ft. Worth trip someday. The only problem is that once I get to Ft. Worth, I don't have any convenient transportation to get to where I need to go.

Haha, pwned!
you lose, I get inconvenienced.
No, I think it's pretty clear that you've lost.
Maybe because you're not going to get a terabyte of usable space with 3*250GB disks?
Because that won't fit in a 32-bit integer. The serial number field is just that--a number. However, it's a 32-bit number, so it can't be greater than 4294967295. Other than that, who cares what format it's in, as long as it increases whenever the zone is changed?
Did you even look at the picture I linked to?? It's my Mac LC II. Says so in the upper left corner. It has an ISA Ethernet card in it. RTFC. kthxbye.
Eh, a 10/100 card is overkill for an LC II... just get an old ISA NE2000 clone from Goodwill or something. Wedge the card into one of those slots off to the right; it'll work fine. NE2000 drivers are really easy to find too.

They do? I prefer my pears hard and crispy. At least Bosc, Anjou, and Asian pears taste fine to me while still hard.
