Well jumpers arent even that much of a problem... Figure you might have a block of six pins with one jumper. 6 choose 2 is what, 6! / 4!2! = 720 / 24 * 2 = 720 / 48 = 15 possibilities. And we musn't forget that only linear combinations are possible so that brings our total down. Then again... if its a block of ten pins then we might have problems: 10 choose 2... 10! / 8!2! = 45 possibilites. Still not bad.
Yea, that sounds extremely weird considering the Constitution upholds trial by jury in matters of common law.
Amendment VII:
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
I can't see how that can be violated and ignored by any competent judge.
EGP is an exterior routing protocol. Another exterior routing protocol is BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Examples of interior routing protocols are RIP (Routing Information Protocol), IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), and lets go with OSPF (Open Shortest Path First). Routing protocols route routed (routable) protocols (I love saying that over and over). Some routed (routable) protocols are IP and IPX. And I've typed protocol so many times that it has lost all meaning.
Windows XP still gives the main user a root equivilency. I installed XP Professional to test it out and was appalled that I didnt have to enter a password to login on boot. You click the box of your username. And then you're given enough rights to allow you to install.
Yea, if it was old it was most likely drum brakes. Most drum brakes can be done with two specialized tools. One tool to remove and put back on the return springs (probably can be done with a flat head screw driver) and another to compress and remove/put back on the holding springs (probly can be done with some random tool and a little creative thinking). Others might not even need anything real special. So that's kind of funny that Subaru decided to be unique. Seriously though, drum brakes are a pretty simple beast once you learn them and they all generally look the same (like this).
Maximum Linux is the most useless piece of filth I have ever read. It's thin and it's also about $8, most of which you are paying for ads. Everything is just "kick ass" or it sucks.

Maximum Linux is meant to be trendy, and it works, all the little so called wannabes buy it. Read Linux Journal, it's the most well rounded of all the Linux magazines.

Yea, talking to any involved member of etree will let you gain some knowledge. We all kind of feed off of each other.;-) Brand names can be very misleading.

Kodak is always good, Mitsui is always good (Mitsui is Taiyo Yuden as far as I remember), and I've never had problems with Ricoh. The point is somewhat moot however, because etree'ers tend to once record the audio onto discs, and then backup the SHN files (lossless audio files) to another set of discs.

Well, you see... The Catholics tend to celebrate his efforts while the Anglicans tend to celebrate his defeat. It was after all a rather Catholic plot to blow up the highly Anglican Paraliament. In case anyone is wondering the Gun Powder Plot was Guy Fawkes' plan (I think he was just the one who got caught actually) to blow up a session of Parliament in England along with members of the monarchy in attendance. It was at an event similar to the U.S.'s State of the Union address. He was caught with large quantities of explosives in the building shortly before it was to occur.

I don't know if this is a school with a strong Computer Science / EE department, but if it was, and I had decided to go there, then arrived to find out this load of crap, yea, I'd be leaving very quickly. Four years (God forbid graduate school too!) trying to write useful code on a Windows machine is probably enough to make me go insane.
Something to this effect may have been said already. But here's a thought. Designate a port (one of the high ones) to accept a query equivilent to, "Do you allow to fix your computer?" where the secure key has to match a list of trusted ones. Granted, this may raise all sorts of privacy issues, but as long as it was consentual, and asked to the owner of the computer before being enabled at all, it might be alright. For instance, I'd allow the Debian security team to apply a patch to a hole in my system. This provides no technical basis to do so, as the hole is already there. Certainly no one with malicious intent is going to bother to ask in the first place, so it doesn't seem as if we have to worry about forged keys and the like. All it does is provide a simple response of "Yes; Date/Time; MyIP; YourIP; original request XOR constant". Nothing extravagent at all. If Microsoft was honest about it, and I think they could be, (security holes look bad enough, not being dirty about a good method to cover them up is smart) then stuff like this would be erradicated much more quickly.
I find it thoroughly annoying when I have to write little VBA dodads in Access when there always has to be an English specifier at the beginning and end of statement. a simple for loop becomes one of the following: "do while... loop" or "do... loop until". On top of that, having to throw "End Function" or "End Sub" at the end of a block of code ticks me off just as much. I'll stick to "}" thanks.
Probably does have a lot to do with age. Yet, to throw a curve at you, I'm 16 and have volumes 1, 2, and 3 and Concrete Mathematics. The funny thing about Knuth is because his work is so mathematically intensive, he gets quoted by people in the math field as much as he does by people in the computer field. I've seen bibliographical references to him on www.cut-the-knot.com and in a book I have called Elementary Number Theory. Paraphrasing the latter, it said, regarding Euclid's GCF algorithm, "For a detailed analysis see Knuth (1968)." I don't know if it's just me but I really got a kick out of that. His books just have so much stuff that you can just pull out and fool around with. Last year when I was a sophmore, a senior and I spent roughly two weeks just researching floor theory (not kidding you. As in floor/ceiling) and it was amazing how interesting it could get and how much Knuth has contributed to what seemingly is a trivial topic. (See Concrete Mathematics Pages 67 - 101 for stuff pretty much just on floor/ceiling). Now that I've successfully gone off on a tangent, I'll just say "yes" to your comment.
Warning: the following is all tongue and cheek.
It's so obvious that Microsoft intentionally put this bug in and created Code Red themselves. By seeing how much the worm spread, they could see how many IIS machines were out there and there by discover how many copies of Windows have been pirated. And they thought they had us... hahaha
I have to agree with this. I'm running on an Athlon 500 that I got in November of 1999 right when Athlons started to become available. Coincidentally, the only reason I upgraded then was because my old processor died. Otherwise, I would have waited. I paid a lot for this combo but it's lasted close to two years now. I'm not in any rush to upgrade. Granted, if I was running the latest Windows I might start to itch for an upgrade, but even running KDE 2.0 on 192 megs is never really slow (even when burning a cd). Probably before the end of the year, but it depends on whether there's something else I'd rather buy. I also have a 475 MHz K6-2 laptop which is more than enough. It runs surprisingly well. When it started to dog, I went from 64 MB to 256 MB of RAM for roughly $100. Now, running Windows 2000 Professional (yea yea, I know, but find me a Windows 2000 Terminal Services Client for Linux so that I can telecommute.) I never really worry about speed.

There's a simple solution here. Don't buy it. I think its a hypocritical thing to change a license from an open source one to a closed source one. Legal or not, it's dirty.

Best of all, they run on diesel. I quote, "McIntyre claims 320 to 350 hp and a hefty 450 ft.-lb. of torque. His motorcycles are priced at $150,000. The truck's a lot less. Of course, as a member in good standing of the 'More Money Than Brains Club,' I had to have one." A little later he continues, "I've ridden a lot of fast bikes but nothing pulls like this. It's shaft driven, not thrust driven, with a homemade two-speed transmission. You don't need more than two speeds becaue you've got those 450 ft.-lb. of torque. The shaft redlines at 6600 rpm. Don't even try to compute the power-to-weight ratio. It's better than a Formula One car's."
