I have noticed several toll tag detectors off the toll roads already in the Dallas area.
2 in Farmers Branch (Near Brookhaven College, and Beltline west of the Tollway) Some Along 635, I know there's on at 635 and Greenville Road.
They're just flat white rectangular antenna on a pole with a silver box at the base. I recognize the design from a friend's dad who worked on the inital TollTag system in Dallas back in the early 90s. Now they are proliferating around the DFW area it seems.
You can't redefine Catholic as "people who don't kill" and then conclude that the regime of the Third Reich wasn't religious.
I'm not redefining anything here, it's plainly in the Canon, the Bible, etc. That is, if you mean Catholic as in the Church itself. Obviously, the Church doesn't always take away your "Authentic Catholic" card when you and your government go on a murderous rampage.
I wasn't trying to foist the "not a true scot" mentality, I was merely pointing out the fact that being born and going to a Catholic Church has no significance if you are not acting in accord with the Catholic Church.
As I said in my previous post, the Catholic church was persecuted by the Nazi party for daring to oppose them. That does not change the fact that the Third Reich was predominantly Catholic.
Indeed, the conference of German bishops excommunicated all Nazis in 1930. By being the leader of the Nazi party, Hitler had already put himself outside of the Church.
Ok, simple question here. If they were Catholic, then why did they want to kill(persecute) their own Church? There's only two answers here. Either they were were, or they wern't Catholic.
I'll ignore your comment on "guys", as I was clearly refering to the regimes.
If you're referring to the guys of the Third Reich, most of them would have been Catholic
Yes, they were perhaps raised Catholic - but it is plainly obvious that culling Jews from the genetic pool would tend to put one in a state of grave sin.
It's like saying - "I'm a Texan." The affiliation of being born in Texas is purely incedental, but it doesn't necessarily subscribe one to the ideals of Texas. Of course, no one is there to say you're not a Texas if you don't believe in those ideals.
On the other hand, to be a Catholic one must actually believe and act in accordance with Tradition, the Canon, the Bible, and Faith. Since Europe was breaking out in utter Chaos, I believe the Catholic Church was doing what little it could at the time without getting itself burned at the stake.
Many, many Catholics died in the Holocaust - so I don't think that Hitler was acting to free the faithful or anything like that. I think Hitler used a widely held fault of many Catholics at the time to foister his master plan, that of disdain for the Jews.
It is true that Catholicism flourished under the Third Reich, but I'd daresay this had more to do with people's basic need for religious comfort during war, rather than any wrongdoing of the church.
I'd agree. But you're also forgetting that it wasn't widely known that the Germans were exterminating people. My mother was an interviewer for Jewish Holocaust survivors, and I recall a story at Auschwitz. The American Army made the people in the City tour the death-camp because most of them would not believe what was actually occuring there.
I think it's fairer to say that humans have caused considerable harm over the past 1000s of years, and that religion or lack of religion had very little to do with it. Religion is a scapegoat for war.
Yep, practially anything is a good reason for war! There are very few good reasons for war.
I don't the Senator from New York was talking about 30 year old grizzley bears like you, personally.
That's a dumb statement, in other words, as she is speaking of kids. You know, the short looking ones that you can say "Hey Jimmy, go spit on Mark" and he'll more than likely do it?
Religion has undoubtedly caused more harm than good over the past thousand years or so.
You're such a troll.. I'd dare say that regimes such as the Third Reich, or Stalin did more "harm" in terms of dead - and neither of those guys were religious.
The difference comes in the interpretation of the Bible. Fundamentalist believe that the Bible is the actual, literal word of God. This is somewhat not true, as I've been through quite a few Baptist bible studies and there's a big search for allegory I think.
Catholic believe in a multi-layered interpritation, classically called the Medieval fourfold method of Exegesis. That being literal, allegorical, anagogical and tropological interpretation.
Also, as far as the Catholic education I've been through, it is pretty common knowledge that many of the stories from the Bible were acquired - such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, etc. Also, the Church is a big integrator of science as a logical understanding of God these days.
But you're right, it is a tag - just not typically applied to Catholics.
I'm not arguing that C is without it's limitations.. only that there are some simple things to ease the pain. I've been developing in C for 16 years.. still bites me.
Like I said.. I would love for some of the advanced languages like C# to come down to native code. I know there's a java compiler, but it doesn't play well with the rest of GCC.
One really easy thing you can do to extend C/C++ is use a garbage collector (even ObjC I hear has a port).
I have successfully benched the Boehm GC in a largish (100k LOC) threaded SOAP application server written in C, with the degredation being only 3%.
And, in fact, since our code enforced strict memory managemet (and thus lots of overhead) - I would imagine that a less strict management scheem would be quite a bit faster.. i.e. allocate, use, forget.
Personally, I would love a native C# compiler.. no JIT. I understand the benifits of JIT, but in reality those benifits are a tradeoff for being able to just distribute an application without a 20MByte download to run it.
So, yeah, Pentium-M by *itself* will consume 22 Watts, but you've got to add in the North+South chipset... guessing it's about 10 watts or more.
Turion is basically 25 or 35 Watts, plus a single chip chipset I'd guess would only have 5 watts usage since the memory controller is on the Turion itself.
So, Total watt usage would be roughly: Pentium M: 24W + 10W = 34watts Turion: 25W + 5W = 30 watts.
I have a PC that my sister and I used to use for our operating system development. One night, I was writing a new memory manager on it, when all of a sudden it went berserk, the screen started flashing, and the whole VI session just disappeared. All of it. And it was a good memory manager! I had to cram and rewrite it really quickly. Needless to say, my rushed memory manager wasn't nearly as good, and I blame that PC for the crap I got.
I'm happy to report that my sister and I now share an Apple Dual G5 that we got for free! It's a lot nicer to work on than my old PC was, it hasn't let me down once, and my memory managers have all been really good.
More likely, how smart is it to make yourself look like a jackass? Not speaking to you, SlayerOfGods.. but the biometric list isn't exactly secret stuff.
The FAI's rules state that a record attempt like this must start and finish at the same airfield and cross all meridians of the globe. What's more the course must not be less than the very precise figure of 36,787.559 kilometres (around 23,000 miles) which is equal in length to the Tropic of Cancer.
They're going to try to catch the most wind they can.. so there will be some deviation in the flight plans I'm sure as they follow the currents.
The point is.. that you should have the chance to become what you want. That's should be the goal of secondary education.
A good question would be... how many people in your engineering school really wanted to become engineers, rather than earn the wages of an engineer? Chances are good that a high percentage would have wanted too because the qualifications for entering your ivy league school are high. You earned the chance, right?
There's not a huge difference in high and low schools in Germany, and there are cases where one dies move from one school to the other. Again, that's not the point. It was merely an example of a system that works BETTER than ours. And there are even much better examples of schools than Germany.
I believe the problem is that *everyone* should have the chance to go to college, but that those who are not interrested should still be able to find gainful employment through a vocation.
The University, by and large, has suffered both in academic excellence and rigour because of this idiotic idea that everybody should go to college.
I used to think it was hugely unfair, that in Germany students are separated into high and low schools at the fifth grade (or so). After years of school myself, and 9 years in the IT field it is apparent that many people are not going for their dream job out of the fear living a substandard existance on minimum wage.
The truth be told, there are more millionaire plumbers than there are Computer Scientists.
How many people love their jobs? The inverted order of society to produce lawyers, computer specialists, doctors, et cetera has created a population of dissatisfied people. Additionally, those who are relegated to "lower ranks" in society feel cheated or failure simply because they didn't accomplish the "gold standard."
If we're serious about improving education I really think that the child's interrest should dictate their career path. The education system should grow around this. Parents should support and challenge their children to achieve their goals.
Yeah, I was just fascinated on the purly technical detail of SSL "over" UDP.
Of course the inherent issue with SSL is that timing and order DO matter.:/ Most especially in v3 & TLS.
A new protocol would have to be implemented, and then you pretty much have a psuedo TCP.. so there's not much point in the end as the UDP protocol overhead would be heavier than TCP.
Hrm, well, you could use SSL on TCP for the handshake and then encrypt UDP packets over a second channel with a good block cipher, using a different IV for each packet.

No, the memory controller is on the CPU. SO you have one less chip. (The northbridge usually has the MCU.)
To sum it up: a full motherboard comparison will perhaps consume less wattage.
-Pan
Here's what I'm thinking.
Pentium M: L1 cache 32+32 (64Kb total), L2 cache off chip 2Mb, Northbridge + Southbridge chipset
AMD Turion: L1 cache 64+64 (128Kb total), L2 cache on chip 1Mb, Single-chip chipset.
So, yeah, Pentium-M by *itself* will consume 22 Watts, but you've got to add in the North+South chipset... guessing it's about 10 watts or more.
Turion is basically 25 or 35 Watts, plus a single chip chipset I'd guess would only have 5 watts usage since the memory controller is on the Turion itself.
So, Total watt usage would be roughly:
Pentium M: 24W + 10W = 34watts
Turion: 25W + 5W = 30 watts.
