Or, as I believe, everyone else is wrong. There is no reason for the period to go inside the quotes if it is not a complete thought. It's not open architecture. it's open architecture. The quote with a period inside of it is misleading. Logically, the period should be after the fact. Just as if I make a function call, foo("blah blah", &bar); I put my comma outside of the quote because the comma is not part of the string. Unless I'm being graded or writing a formal letter, I do not adhere to the rules. They, not I, are wrong. 2600 (the magazine) made a point of this when someone wrote in complaining about the same exact thing (quotes and punctuation). Their defense: putting punctuation inside of the quotation marks obfuscates things especially in the context of computer terminology.
Yea, the difference is that many recorded shows kick the crap out of live recorded releases and even studio albums as far as quality goes. Studio albums are compressed to all hell so they sound louder (hotter). You listen to a live recording made with good microphones (Neumann, Schoeps, Bruel & Kjaer) with a good pre amp (Oade M148) and a good Analog to Digital Converter (Apogee) and then you know what "live" is supposed to sound like. You get incredible dynamic range and incredible stereo imagery. I'll take a recorded show over most commercial releases any day as far as quality goes.
You got to keep in mind that a "pager vibrator" is actually a modified motor. Pager vibrators are tiny motors with weights (think cam lobes) on them. The motor is then way off balance when it spins and vibrates the whole thing.
Your torque changes _at the axle_ depending on the gear ratio. This doesn't really change the torque or horsepower coming out of the motor (it's not an engine people). Torque and horsepower are functions of RPM for a given motor or engine.
Oooh, I like the Knuth quote! Now I get to bring it back to the guy who originally told me that a program cannot be proven correct. However, I do think Knuth might be referring to a more abstract concept here such as an algorithm as it's really hard to test a program for ALL possible inputs. Sure, we can prove an algorithm with a single argument true by induction, but it's awfully hard to do so as the number of arguments increases.
Oh I agree with you. I only said it to illustrate the fact that programs are not black and white. Many times something may appear to work, but in fact not always work, etc.
TCP/IP has nothing to do with it. TCP/IP is a routed (routable) protocol. Routing protocols are what do the routing. TCP/IP is fine, and there are already routing protocols that do most of the things you specify. Latitude / Longitude is a horrible metric as it can't really measure anything useful. We already have protocols such as IGRP and EIGRP which use bandwidth, MTU, reliability, delay, and load to calculate a scalar metric. Once again, TCP/IP has nothing to do with it. PLEASE don't go saying it is the problem when it's not.
Well, I kinda figure what was going through his head: "I thought I'd get in and out of here without someone recognizing me." The guy isn't some sort of elitist. At shows he's known to drive around the parking lot in a golf cart talking to fans. On a side note, anyone got tickets for Phish New Years? It seems that about 1 in 10 people won the lottery.
Short anecdote: This June, I'm driving to Connecticut from Jersey in ridiculous rain. I stop at a Mobil gas station and go inside to get a coffee. It's dark, rainy, etc. I walk up to the door and look at the guy leaving as I'm going in. I go, "Mike?" He says, "Yup" and walks away. It happened to be Mike Gordon (coincidently look at my sig) from Phish, driving himself somewhere in a ragged T-Shirt and jeans. Now, here's a band that has untold gobs of money and yet still drive themselves around and don't really care what they look like. Here's also a band that gives away its music to any who would want to hear it. This is the kind of band the RIAA is scared of because they don't act greedy like the RIAA themselves.
I was driving through Virginia recently and saw what I swore could have been a 12 year old girl driving a pickup truck. She was on I-95 going through the DC area and then she happened to stop at the same rest stop I did in Virginia. And yes, she still looked like she was 12 (with her father, albeit); it scared the crap out of me.
I was the first age group to be affected by the new driving law in New Jersey (I have a restricted driver's license, I can only drive between 5AM and 12AM, if I drive outside of those times I must have a written religious or work reason. I also cannot have more than one person in my car under the age of 18. Both of those restrictions are null and void if someone in my vehicle is 21 or over and has had a New Jersey drivers license for 3 or more years) and it's really not that bad, it probably serves to curb some joyriding. However, it might increase DWI as the designated driver (and people actually do that) wouldn't be able to have more than 1 drunk person in his car, kind of scary really.
He didn't say efficient, he said legitimate.;-) Personally, I like having a burned copy of a distro "just in case". It's certainly more legitimate (especially in a computer major) than P2P.
Yes, but things like Satalite service are locked out to prevent illegal use. If a network is not locked, and Joe iBook Schmoe randomly has internet access when he's at a park or something, he's not going to think he's stealing. If someone takes reasonable (obvious) precautions to protect their service, then circumventing this protection in my opinion is wrong. And yes, I have no problems with people "eavesdropping" cordless phones, baby monitors, etc. You have no reasonable expectation of privacy with such devices. Part 15 of FCC rules: a) Device may not cause harmful interference. Well, let's interpret that as saying my neighbor's cordless phone causes interference harmful to my interception of residual energy from the big bang on my scanner. If you don't want something to be heard or accessed, put up a Faraday cage around your house. Just as someone stated before, if you put a water fountain on the edge of your property next to the sidewalk, people aren't going to think it's just for you. If it is just for you, put up a fence.
How is it plain and simple? In my opinion, resources that are on public property are free by implied consent. If you're going to let your signal spill over into areas you didn't intend it, no one's stealing.
Posters aren't generally printed from the required amount of "raw data". The viewing distance of them allows cheating. People who make posters use programs like Genuine Fractals to reliably interpolate for the resolution they work at.
Uh. This is a comment coming from someone who obviously hasn't done much programming. You want to design the system that accounts for real life racing circumstances? Coincidently, I'm watching Driven right now, a very bad movie. But it happens to drill the point into my mind that racing is nothing short of chaos. You argue that game AI is sufficient to use in real life. You're basically saying that the AI can deal in a chaos environment. However, the computer generates the chaos. It knows what each car is doing and is planning on doing. Each car object in the game is interwoven with the other objects. Real life is not this way. You can't predict what the other cars are doing. Try designing code to react to such a complex environment in which people can easily die if things don't work *perfectly*.
The point is, someone deliberately exploited the WebTV for harm to others. I wouldn't care if it weren't for the fact that flooding the E911 system can cause people to lose their lives. Basically, the way it works (I work with Police CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch)) is an E911 call comes in and (in many systems) a window pops up detailing the caller info. The dispatcher then can take the call and use that info to put in a CFS (Call For Service). However, while that dispatcher is taking a 911 call, they basically can't take any others. Hence, backlog.
You must have joined the game late, lol. This was quite popular a few years ago. Happened a couple of times to me (not the caller ID) but you can make it dial. The funniest IRC thing was passing BitchX commands to make colors flash on the screen, like the whole screen. Or, which happened to me a few times, making your console switch. So say you're logged into tty2. Suddenly, you get thrown to a login screen on tty6.
Well, if you repeatedly kick at a wall of a building with thousands of people in it until it falls down, who's responsible for the death of all those people? You are to blame MUCH more than the architect. After all, there's better ways to see if something's broken. You could tap at the wall a little bit, and then say to the architect (or builder, or whomever), "You know, this wall seems a little shaky, you might wanna take a look at it." The architect (builder, etc.) only becomes particularly negligent (IMHO) when he or she ignores your warnings and eventually it does come down.

You base your processor choice on one incident? That doesn't seem like a very scientifically sound method of doing things. I've never had a problem with the AMDs I've used. All my problems have been on Intel machines. But my point is just as irrelevent as yours. Luck of the draw I suppose. Plenty of well-respected motherboard manufacturers make good boards for AMDs: Abit, Asus, Tyan, etc.
You mean frame retransmission (which is an interesting problem in itself, as frames don't have checksums)? Wireless protocols do not deal with packets. They're layer 2, packets are layer 3.

Actually, the rules are that you cannot charge for anything at all. NO money is allowed to change hands, only blank media and postage.

Software at least has some sort of empirical basis. We can actually ask "Does it work?"
No, we cannot. A program cannot be proven correct.

Yea, but you don't live in Jersey, we have the highest insurance in the country.
Also, flawed. I download gigabytes upon gigabytes of music a month, and it's all legitimate.

A Java based OS is the computing equivelent of a marshmellow based automobile. A lot of fluff, but no stuff.
