Yes. Turn the car on it's side. Of course, this only works to the extent of 1 G, but you can spin it in a circle, ala astronaut training, if you want, and easily get 25 Gs.
err at least some action movie. the one where the guy steals the harrier jet that turns invisible, the day it's shown off to the public, and the bad guys/terrorists steal it? last action hero?
art imitates life.... or is it the other way around?
I work in retail to pay for college.... Godiva gives a decent discount (10% right now) on orders over $600. They sell high-end chocolate, if you're curious. Yes, I work at a retail location for Godiva. No, I don't get comission.
I like playing "Find my laptop", ala the Powerbook G4/Tibook. It's amazing, the nubmer of apples you see on TV and in movies. Most people suggest that they use apples, as they're what they already have laying around, as apples tend to be used alot in the entertainment buisness, plus they look pretty on screen compared to a beige box. I'd agree with that.
I heard someone suggest that most of the "OS"es in movies are simply flash programs that are full screen, and will do the correct sequence of events, regardless of the input. Can anyone verify this?
I hate those roller toting motherfuckers. Especially in airports that have alot of tile. CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK! It's even worse in high schools. Two or three losers always had one of those, and instead of taking up their alloted one person worth of floor space, they took up about 6. People eventually got fed up with them and started walking/stepping on their rolly things, as there's no way to walk around them, you're "stuck" behind them forever! Grow a back bone and use a goddamned backpack like everybody else! AAArrrgh!
somehow, i read that as "paper clip encode video"..... i need to go to sleep. first post?

Knoppix 3.3 Is Out
·
· Score: 1
haiving a hard time browsing the site with safari (which is odd, seing as how safari is based off of one of the browsers included in knoppix) for an install image for an old pentium 90 of mine to give to a friend; can't seem to find a copy of 3.2 anywhere.... any ideas on where to download 3.2 or earlier? site seems to only have links to 3.3 currently.
ah, ok. i was under the impression that pentium 4/athlons were all still highly evolved 586 cores. just goes to show how little my understanding of processor design runs. thanks for the input
Including one of those four propeller helicopter things sitting on his desk as a toy but never uses, an equally usless gift that costs far too much and has been used a total of once, the mini-ITX Amiga board!
now if you could just rig it so OS X would run on one of these babies...
I will admit i didn't RTFA, but cable broadband is also an option. At our apartment we had a landline without touchtone capability ($2 a month) or long distance service (varies, but can cost $5 a month before you even start calling people), cost us $12.58 a month, on top of $28 a month, always on (and always used) DSL. I shudder to think what it would cost to have a dedicated dial up connection over a pay-per minute landline, and the total cost of that per month for the average s.korean income.
If you only counted the population of canada w/in 50 miles of the US border, you'd get a much higher population density figure. the UK and Canada both had (Fairly) cheap phone lines previous to broadband, unlike s.korea, which caused a very slow changeover rate to broadband in the UK and canada. s. korea has fairly expensive land lines, causing people to adopt broadband when they never had landlines previously, alowing them to leapfrog the changeover from a previous technology.
Small, countries on the eastern Pacific Ocean have a population of at least 60-70% people with darker skin than Americans.
Or somthing
Comon people, this is OBVIOUS; Smaller land mass + higher population denisty + late to the technology party = High rate of adoption. If local phone lines were as cheap there as they are here, they'd probably still be adopting dialup, not broadband. Instead, they skipped that phase, which is why that brings us to this point in time. Same deal with cell phones, for the most part.
Works just find on 10.2.6 - mostly the difference between Server and Plain vanilla install is the level of technical support, and the fun GUI tools to use everything. Everything's the same for the most part on the back end, Server just introduces GUI features to otherwise console-only functions. That, and Apple gives better technical support to OSX Server customers. I'd repeat myself again but I'm tired.
Although, Server uses a slightly different kernel build, although only slightly, and they're updated slightly behind that of the consumer edition, presumably for stability and testing reasons.

Is there away to realistaclly simulate Gs?
Yes. Turn the car on it's side. Of course, this only works to the extent of 1 G, but you can spin it in a circle, ala astronaut training, if you want, and easily get 25 Gs.

So what's the latest revision of the release date for GT4? Last I heard was April somthing....?
shhh... don't give them any ideas.
The last major movie he was in was "Blow" with Jonny Depp, in 2001
others include Dr. Doolittle, Matilda, and Mystery Men

control panel -> expose -> look for it -> duh
Look at it again. Man on bottom left is by himself.

so wait, this means knoppix will not run at all on say, a penitum 90, or will just run very, extremely slowly on a pentium 90?

Macs have their "sleep" function, as do TV's (they don't really turn "off" either), and resume normal operations in less than a second.
it was a boyscout of sorts, in so.cal, if i recall correctly. he was using the americanium out of smoke detecors (used as a mass spectrometer)

whoops. i was thinking "far east" = asia, "west coast" = california. but i gues it's all relative?

iPaq + linux + CF reader + 802.11g card + 20 minutes persuading the compsci major to write you an app + cron job for this = success!
i'm sure you could have equal luck with a palm pilot of sorts if you worked at it hard enough.
just like the powerbooks. after the design influences, and now the controlled fans, you'd think the g5 wasn't original at all.

WTF? $1200 and no interchangable lenses.... riiiiight.
