Back in the days of ferrite cores, we had stable memory. In fact, the memory was also non-volatile, which was great for debugging third-party apps ("It failed." "Okay, I'll be there at two o'clock to look at it.").
Does anyone know if someone's tried to tack on hardware ECC to HDs? Reduced capacity and speed in return for better reliability; it'd be interesting.
[dreif@athena dreif]$ echo "This is wrong." | perl -ane "s/wrong/illegal; print;" Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1. [dreif@athena dreif]$ echo "This is wrong." | perl -ane "s/wrong/illegal/; print;" This is illegal.
Ha! They may try to log my IP address, but I blind-spoof onto foreign networks where my r00t3d boxen never send TCP RST on unrecognized ACKs. I then telepathically transfer the data from the brain of a small monkey I have sitting in front of the consoles of these r00t3d machines into my own head, where I write it down in sexagesimal (base 60) and convert it all by hand into binary represented by the numerals "5" and "j" for zero and one, respectively. Finally, I run a massive bc and sed script on the generated file and throw it into/dev/null, since by merely translating it among mental and binary formats, I have internalized everything I was transferring.
I ran a webstats engine on my 14 million hits over the past four months, and noticed 23 Dreamcast hits. I figured someone had fudged their Mozilla's OS string.

What I'd like to see is a tool that would use this algorithm to verify the pool of five hundred or so private keys I control (since I currently only have a ((1/4)^16) confidence that each half is, in fact, prime.
Actually, I am an algorithmic programmer who designs and implements alternative layer 3 protocols for proprietary satellite transmission equipment. And in my spare time, I write applications for cell phones in Java.
Feel free to kiss my butt. You haven't the slightest clue about anything remotely related to me, but if you get some sort of rise out of accusing me of lacking your "L337 h4x0r1ng 5k331z", more power to you. I'm going to get back to my $90k/year job now. Meanwhile, you can get back to emptying those Porta-Potties.
SC is great, but refuses to run on my Windows XP box (it was perfectly happy with Win '98 SE, though).
Monolith seems to be experiencing some serious cash problems; they can't get anyone to pick up Septerra Core 2 (which they apparently put a lot of effort/time/money into). Very sad, since they produced a damn good game.
or, even better, games with great concepts that crash all the bloody time. Two come to mind; Alien Legacy and Septerra Core are wonderful games. If only they were useable.
One of the things I like best about open source is the fact that crash bugs get fixed quickly. While it's sometimes a pain to debug little UI bugs, the simplicity of just gdb'ing into a core in *NIX is heavenly compared to Microsoft's debugging solution.
Who wouldn't love a rock-solid game engine, running a great storyline, compiled specifically for their box's specs?
No, I'm just scared that we'll have an autonomous-robot command structure in place, and will be kicking our opponent's butt, and suddenly all the robots will fail when some hot-shot kid gets in a lucky shot on the command ship.
The Fourteenth Amendment allows federal power over state-run schools in many cases, including this one.
Furthermore, no state may make a law which contradicts a federal law, or the Constitution. The arbiters who determine the meaning of the Constitution, and by extension, what state laws may and may not be made, are the federal courts.
A.D. has about as much meaning outside its acronym as does S.C.U.B.A. If you believe an average third grader would be sufficiently motivated by the mention of "A.D." to look it up, translate it from Latin, and determine that "Lord" is a common appelation for the Judeo-Christian god, I suppose that would be valid. By comparison, I present the use of a capitalized, singular, masculine word referring, as inferred by several quotes surrounding its insertion into the Pledge, specifically to the Christian god, uttered each day, by law, by rote, by a person the child looks to for absolute truths, and which is being mindlessly yet forcefully chanted by everyone around the child.
Let's keep some perspective here.
Oh, and by the way:
"A.D." simply means, "year of our lord". No "in".
There should be a comma before "either" in the first paragraph.
Learn how to spell "extreme".
The words "government" and "related" should be hyphenated.
As you aren't already inside double quotes at the time, you should use them around "state religion".
"Church of England" should be capitalized.
You need a period or other punctuation at the end of the second paragraph.
And, finally, you posted on a controversial topic a comment that many people would agree with, yet did so anonymously. I can only conclude that these are not, in fact, your true views on the subject, or that some other trickery is afoot. While anonymity is a right many of us cherish, one must not foolishly assume it, or choose it in situations where your voice, backed by you as a person, is what is needed--not just another disembodied viewpoint.
Why? What fundamental part of your religious views are assaulted through the omission of one more reminder of them during the school day? We already, here in Virginia, have pre- and post-school flagpole prayer meetings, a minute of silence at the start of the day, a student-led prayer before football games (yes, I know they struck that one down, but it's still done), and Weekday Religious Education (a thin veil behind behind which hides a program which takes elementary school children during the school day for thirty minutes to have them listen to local protestant religious groups' preaching).
I would sacrifice much of my freedom to practice my religion in any way I please to ensure that you had the opportunity to practice yours. So long as the request is not too egregious, I ask you to do the same.
...getting Windows apps to run on Pocket PC. The problem was changing their UI. Think of M$ Word--do you really want three or more toolbars that stretching across 1024 pixels, a menu bar, a status bar, an autoshape bar, and a title bar squished on a 320x320 screen? Of course not.
Now, if somebody gets technology to dynamically reformat any application's UI into an appropriate format for that presentation device, then I'll start buying. In the meantime, if you don't mind, I'll continue developing ports of my apps under J2ME.

JousterYes, but it'd be terrible if we had to change corresponding parts to contain ninety-five syllables, too. Otherwise, the meter would be all off....

Yes, especially Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, some of our country's best-known Christians.
