This is not true. I tend to often write in long sentences and having a program remind you that a sentence is too long is nice. It also occasionally catches plural-singular mismatches etc. If you are not a native English speaker, it has some value, so long as you realize that most of its suggestions are BS.
In that case this is just sad. How would you feel if MS were to sue some major OSS project over one of their patents? You and I would bitch to no end. To avoid hypocrisy, I will be rooting for MS on this one.
The way I heard it, Kyoto was never on the target list. What happened was that the Japanese military tortured some poor US airman into "admitting" that Kyoto was going to be A-bombed. The guy in question could not have known anything anyway but his little improvisation helped end the war sooner because it gave added ammunition to emperor and others to argue against continuing to fight.
If you could futz with the projector itself, you could have it project a few reference dots in an invisible part of the spectrum, then use an e.g. infrared camera to pick those out and align by that.
Oh, btw, monitor resolution has nothing to do with it. Slashdot text area for comment submission is 50 characters wide (see page source for yourself). So on any monitor it would suggest/enforce same text formatting.
![lameness filter sucks:: lameness filter sucks]! Look at the line above. That's how many characters fit into the text box of slashdot submission form when my browser is full-screen (as I usually use). Since I usually press [Enter] at the end of the line (or text box in this case), my text usually is formatted to fit the textbox.
Oh man, I work with PZT all the time. It is so brittle it hurts. Dropping this camera will be a disaster. Heck, even the kinda jolt from car traffic and the like (stuff that used to make old cd players skip) may break this motor.
And I am saying these laws and agreements are hopeless and delusional. When you fight, you fight to kill, pure and simple. War is an outlet for the basest human instincts and trying to prevent this relief valve from doing its function is a miserable excercise in futility.
I am not a Republican, though I like Reagan. There is nothing wrong with drug-trafficking so long as it is legal. The government should not be hipocritical. Iran-contra was about as much politically-motivated BS as the Clinton impeachment. Not to say nothing wrong happened but they ran in circles forever and then managed to convict a low level guy. Unless you can prove shit, quit your yapping. Neither the dems nor the gop seem to get this basic rule of decency.
The right to security is crap. Or put differently, you either get liberty or security. I firmly believe that Article 5 and Geneva convention on warfare are delusional and unrealistic. You fight wars to kill your opponents and in war all means are fine, whether torture or murder. UN should have reserved Article 5 for peace conditions. Article 6 says nothing about which law exactly. Hence holding people as enemy combatants (Bush) or holding people without a right to trial (Lincoln) is fine because the law allows for it.
How about the "all are equal before the law" Article 7. Has that ever worked anywhere. OJ trial, anyone.
Basically UN declared an abstract ideal that will never be implemented so long as people are what they are. The declaration is thus not worth the paper it is written on.
"Every human being has a right to live a decent life."
Huh? Where did that come from? I mean, UN has passed a laughably broad and unrealistic human rights convention but I don't remember even that piece of toilet paper having such a right there. That would seem to be from the crazy liberal approach to life along the lines of "great society" and other misguided political hubris that almost bancrupted the US before Reagan.
Unless your sister is very demanding, put in 5400 rpm HDDs. You'll be able to run them without fans and they are quiet. On the other hand if you intend to skimp on RAM and foresee the system swapping, then forget it.
That's news to me. Can you give me reference to a Pro/E or 3DS benchmark site for this? I would be very curious. I am looking for highest quality rendering with 1 Million polygons and 8 lights. None of those NVidia tricks with reduced quality texturing and what not. Please, if you know of a good reference on this it would help me for real. Thanks.
This is why it is good that IBM is the defendant. Getting the right judge is as much about maneuvering and backroom pressure as it is about luck so having the most lethal legal team in the corporate world do the defense is why I am less afraid of the judge problem.
World has never known peace, never was without hunger, and education is a fairly recent fad which (judging by the state of educational systems in the developed world) is not spreading beyond a rather small stratum. There has been little progress in anything but progress since time immemoriam. Investing in anything but advanced technology doesn't pay because we are already in the area of diminishing returns.
Well, kinda. The license is "BSD"-like and does have a clause whereby caldera copyright has to be included in the code and moreover, binary distros have to include caldera copyright notice in the documentation. This means: a. SCO lawsuit is bullshit because failure to comply with those terms cannot have resulted in any substantial damages. b. There is/was SCO code in the kernel and it is/was under a GPL-incompatible license. therefore c. SCO's accusations that Linux kernel patch aproval process is full of holes seems to be at least somewhat correct. Lastly d. This particular example seems to have nothing to do with IBM whatsoever.

As I understand it the advertising clause is
GPL incompatible.
