Normally, muggers threaten you with lethal force, and agree to remove that threat in return for your possessions.
I agree, though, that if your possessions are threatened but you're not being threatened with lethal force (like, for example, if some asshat is threatening to bring a frivolous lawsuit against you) a taser may be appropriate. But, you're going to have a difficult time convincing a jury of that.
You remember it wrong. That's not suprising. You were six.
Electric fences on farms cycle -- off, briefly on, off, briefly on, etc. You put the hook on, the fence went on, you were shocked, the fence went off, you let go.
let's say bet size range is 25-400$ you need about 100$
Wouldn't you need about $775 dollars to do this?
At any rate, someone else has already pointed out you have about a 1 in 24 chance of losing all $775 and a 23 in 24 chance of gaining $25.
If you repeat the game four times in a row (to win $100), you'll increase your chances of losing $775 to about 15.4%, or around 3 in 20.
So, If you walk into a casino with $775 twenty times, be prepared to extract about $1,800 from the casinos in twenty little chunks, but for the casinos to extract $2,225 from you in three big chunks.
Don't worry about it too much, though. If you take a friend to twenty hollywood movies, you'll end up spending about the same. And, unless it's a really good movie, you probably won't enjoy it as much.
So, the framerate isn't an integer multiple of some arbitrarily chosen units? That doesn't sound like a problem with the framerate. It sounds like a problem with the units chosen.
and apart from the error that resulted in shifting to a non-integer frame rate
What is a non-integer frame rate? Do you mean the Horizontal and Vertical Scans out of sync with each other? Or is one or the other a strange multiple of the carrier wave? Or what?
There are many posts here claiming the XSS bug is in IE, not in Hotmail or Yahoo. These posts were written by morons.
The point is, filtering HTML is a hard problem. Few sites get it 100% correct. To call a XSS bug in Hotmail an IE bug is to completely misunderstand the problem. Similarly, to call a page-widening bug an IE problem completely misses the point.
Should a user-agent render breaks at its own whim? Probably not. If a user-agent does not render spaces at its own whim, is it a bug? Probably not. If a "suprising" script language gets trhough the Hotmail filters, is it a bug in Hotmail or the user-agent? If a page widening post gets through slashdot, is it a bug in Slashdot or the user-agent?
Anyhow, go here to read how other people have looked at the problem. It is a solvable problem, and solving it could generally make for a better user experience here on slashdot. However, I don't see it happening any time soon, because Slashdot treats it as a bug in the user-agent.
If you are vulnerable to page widening posts, you are using an inferior browser. I must assure you that Slashdot is in no way vulnerable to malicious comments posted by users, and can take no responsibility for obvious bugs in the technology you use to read slashdot.
Similarly, Hotmail and Yahoo are not the problem here. Using an inferior browser while accessing these sites is the problem.
Your claim was that if wasn't for "America", the whole world would be speaking German or Russian.
So, how and when did America save the whole world from speaking German or Russian? Did we save India? Did we save China? Did we save Canada?
Or, on the other side of the coin, did we save Poland?
Exactly which countries make up the "whole world" in your view? And what world are you living in where France should never forget being saved the 1940's, while Poland should absolutely, positively forget being abandoned in the 30's and 40's, but always remember the 80's?
History, the game where everyone else should remember what I see through my rose colored glasses.
The world can kiss my butt then. I'm tired of it. If it weren't for America the whole world would be speaking German or Russian.
If by the "Whole World" you mean "Western Europe", then yes. The "Whole World" would probably be speaking Russian.
I can't help but notice that Eastern Europe apparently is populated by some sort of sub-humans, below consideration, in your world view. Or, in your history books did the USSR and the entire Eastern Block abandoned to Stalin at the end of the war simply never exist?
It's also odd to me that the other five populated continents have slipped out of your world view. Did we save China from speaking Russian? How about India? Australia? Argentina? Poland? Libya? Canada?
Anyhow, thanks for playing "History", the game where you make the rules.
In this case, SCO is the angry bee hive. They are consuming themselves in orgy of indiscriminant attacks. When they exaust themselves they will fall dead, with a trail of pain behind them.
Truthfully, there are really only a few differences between a $3000 dell and a $3000 apple. The apple has built in blue tooth, a much longer battery life, a bigger screen, illuminated keys, a better firewire port, and a much, much, much more asthetically pleasing design. The dell is a little bit faster.
The dell will run Windows XP pro, which is an awesome OS. The apple will run OS X, which is an awesome OS. There will be more games available for the dell. Much of the apple productivity software will be better.
However, I've never known anyone happy with their 3 year old x86 laptop. I've known a lot of people perfectly happy with a 3 year old apple laptop.
As you said, it's not for the speed... they're about the same speed. And, it's not for the price... they're about the same price. It's mostly that the apple really is designed to be useful longer. Right now, the dells are coming with an (unpowered) firewire port and have gigabyte ethernet and wireless available, so there's not a huge difference. Only the bluetooth is really different. I can't know if that matters to you.
Put a $3K dell and a $3K apple side by side. The Apple is clearly the superior machine, hands down. If Microsoft ported the.NET framework and SQL Server over to OS X I would never have need to touch x86 hardware ever again.
Let's see... l7" apple display, vs. a 14" dell xga display. Maximum of 2gb ram on the apple, vs. 1gb of ram on the dell. Built in bluetooth on the apple, no bluetooth on the dell. DVD burner on the apple, cd burner on the dell. 64mb ATI radeon 9600 on the apple, 32mb ATI radeon 7500 on the dell.
Buy the dell, and you'll be lucky to sell it on ebay in two years. Buy the apple, and you'll still be happy with it in 4 years.
So, you want to convert solar into low voltage electricity, and then convert the electricity into chemical or mechanical, and then convert that back into low voltage electrical, then convert that into 120 volt electrical, and then into a mechanical to run a heat pump to cool your house.
Maybe you should look for a DC air conditioner, or different cooling technologies. Or, maybe you should type "solar power air conditioner" into google.
You're right. Timothy McVeigh was a Muslim. Not suprisingly, the IRA are also all Muslim. The Basque sepratists plagueing the Spanish are also Muslims. The Sarin gas attacks in Japan was also perpetrated by Muslims.
There's no doubt Muslims are the source of all terror in the world.
This is true -- much of the Microsoft.NET libraries started life in 1998 or 1999. If you use.NET from Java, C#, J#, or anything else, you're going to get four or five year old libraries.
But, that's not that awful. It's clear that Microsoft spent an immense amount of time and effort to get the libraries working well.
Or, were you talking about the Java 1.1.5 compatible libraries from J++? Yeah, those suck. I wouldn't use those from J# unless I really had to.
With Microsoft's J#, you can code in Java on the.NET platform also.
Standardizing on one set of libraries and one virtual machine would be very, very useful for a standard linux desktop, though. I couldn't care less about the language people use to target that VM and library, though. Java, C#, Python, Lisp, or FORTH -- it's all the same to me.

if you don't do anything, you get lambasted for being uncaring. If you do propose something, you get lambasted for posturing and being uncaring.
What if you propose something, but then don't do anything about it? Does that count for anything?
He's pledged money to AIDS and Mars. He hasn't actually put any money in the budget.

You are correct. The only thing that matters on a computer is floating point performance.
How many of the new Athalon64's do you have in your render farm and finite-element-analysis cluster?

The sarin attacks in Japan were due to a cult called "Aum", not Muslims
Well, as long as Timothy McVeigh and the Basque seperatists are Muslims, my post is still 100% factually correct.

Yes, the apple is worth more.
