Just to clarify, I catigorize failures of the Vatican, anti-semitism and racial hatred in the failure of religion. To be honest, the Vatican was "surrounded" and did try on some occasions to hide Jews, condemn, and save those comdemned to death.
It's easy from this side of the fence to say they were slugs - but harder to step into their shoes. Good discussion of that here
Sorry.. that's total bullsh*t. While it's easy to look at Germany and pre-suppose "Ohh, they're a bunch of religious nuts" the facts of the matter are MUCH more complicated. In reality - the fact that Hitler went to church no more matters than if he went to Burger King. Some clues here:
Hitler dedicated his book Mein Kampf to a known Occultists (Dietrich Eckart, member of the Thule Society)
Most churches acquiesced as a matter of survival. There were many Catholics killed - most especially in Poland (1.8 million non-jews exterminated)
The fact that a large number of priests and ministers were rounded up and sent to their death is indicitive of the point, at the very least. The regime did NOT want religion.
With the exception of Serbia (where Catholics were forcing Orthodox to convert, emegrate, or be killed) I would say that the corruption of the political regime, the failure of religion, and ecomomic disaster of the Depression were the some of the primary causes of WWII's genocide.
My own opinion is that many of the leaders of Nazi Germany were drug abusers, killers, and likely insane. We'd possibly of done better to spray Berlin down with Lithium than bombs.
At least in my area - there's plenty of places that take used batteries: 1. Best Buy (Cellular batteries) 2. Most auto stores (Lead batteries) 3. Tractor Supply (Lead & NiCd Batters) 4. Staples 5. Radio Shack
Which probably means that they're simply replaying signals they've captured over the wire. While it is really difficult to generate the seemingly "random sequences" it is damn easy to record them and play them back. playback, essentially.
Just need the antenna, right h/w and software. Start blowing through codes until the car reacts.
Hrm - just my personal opinion here, but I've looked over the architecture. Very heavily multicast based. Which isn't bad - but in the end you get a cable box on your ip network that sucks bandwidth and gives you about the same features as your regular job cable company.
I've had several TP's, and I've enjoyed them all. In terms of overall build quality, they're very solid machines and cheaper than a Toughbook.
But I would agree with you, my perception is that they're aiming for the low end, and killing the niche market they already enjoyed.
I do disagree with you, however, that concern for human rights in China = politically correct anti-xenophobic bleating. If it were you making Christmas lights by hand for "thinking aloud" dissident thoughts, I'd be pulling for you.
Never seen a "garbage collector" salary report, have you? You'd be surprised I think - they make nothing starting out but eventually they get paid pretty well. Better than a lot of jobs out there, and usually with very good insurance.
And yes, I actually do know a couple of people that "always wanted" to be garbage men.
IFF your writing something you know will generally not change functionslity then Java is the way to go. The problem is that web sites tend to change rapidly according to marketing demands. In the end, you get about the same quality of code. It's just fancier spaghetti code!
I really believe that java is great for middle tier apps and business apps. I would MUCH rather develop the front end in something lightweight and fast though. Besides, in the end, if you have to throw it away at least you're not going to cry over it!
I've been involved with web development since 1996. I've worked at a half dozen small, medium and large web sites.
Basically, it comes down to: 1. Understanding of the final product or content 2. How much you interconnect with backend data providers, and if you require filtering. 3. Your team's experience in the language and dev environment 4. The speed at which those languages lend towards the final development.
Note about languages - My experience is that Java is by FAR a slower dev environment than PHP, Perl or Ruby. The whole compile cycle and the complexities of app servers make for a much more complicated project. The exception to this is JSP - which comes closer to Perl - but entails it's own complexities in getting at databases, etc... Plus, java makes no wins in uptime, speed, or clustering compared to Perl (utilizing mod-perl), or PHP.
Yes, I have been on the large person java team that architected the connections between the three largest online travel providers - don't whine at me.
Here here! It's because they actually have two cores - not just wired up a couple of chips in the same package! Ohh, and having a decent cache management that actually caches instead of just misses all the time certainly helps too!
Not sure where you got your numbers, but standard DV mpeg2 rates for 480i are 25 Mbps video and 1.5Mbps for audio(which is PCM - uncompressed).
That's some pretty fat encoding too.. I'm sure you could cook it down quite a bit with todays much better mpeg2 encoders - the standard says you eat 25MBps though anyway.
I highly recommend... at least you know what your really getting!
Origami, is Japanese art of folding paper. Boulder is round rock. Origami Boulder is wadded up paper! You understand now, dumbo? Then hurry up and buy wadded paper!
Not to belate the argument, but laptop sales are now growing at a much faster rate than desktops - so it is supremely important that Apple has something competitive in the market.
LOL, it's somewhat true though. Name some of the biggest, best know business people out there and more than a few have no degrees... (Just of the top of my head)

No, I simply stated an observation on my part that both scientists AND creationalist/id are twisting the objective truth when they promulgate some of their ideas, and both groups look retarted from a distance because of the harsh language and heavy-handed criticism they exude.
The objective truth is that we don't know how it all started and why we are human and not worms or simply dust.
The objective truth is that there is no (current) laboratory expiriment (or otherwise observable event) where "primordial goo" is transformed into a living creature.
There is, however EVIDENCE that these things, did in fact happen. And in a few instances, that evidence is overwhelming.
Truth be told, however, nobody wants to simply leave it at that - they want to create a subjective truth and feel good in knowing (perhaps within a statistical certainty, but nevertheless) that they know how Humanity sprang from the springs of the past.
My apologies to Scientists that stand for objective science, which is the majority of them. Mea Culpa.
Of course they won't visit - you just called them personal failures and said they never got a real education! It's akin to wearing a "Got Jesus?" T-shirt in Saudie Arabia.
You re-enforece my point when you say that Creationalists are poorly educated - if you have no respect for those whom you wish to converse with then you are merely being disrespectful at best or (most likely) making enemies.
And of course you have no respect for them - because they don't believe what you believe.
There is an actual Truth - which I am a desciple and seeker of. I only find it humerous that my original post was moderated into the ground. How ironic, don't you think?

Not only that, but it parodies the stereotypical "military industral complex" and "buerocratic" scientists.

There's a clone of Shufflepuck cafe called TuxPuck. Also - there's original ShufflePuck cafe versions for Mac, Dos, Amiga, among others.
I've seen the amiga version and the Mac version. I loved both of them.

Akamai (or something simular).
Basically, the content is distributed across MANY servers and the content is accessed by DNS to reference the server "pool".
