Embedded does not mean that there is no user, rather it just means that the software is part of a device. That device could be a cable box, a PVR, a radar dislay/interface system in an aircraft, the music browsing interface on your digital music player, or any of dozens of other devices. All of these are embedded systems.
(from someone who does embedded software development).
Something that was rectangular and fit nicely underneath the Mini would be better, I think. That Belkin one would use full-length cables (probably 3-5 feet) and would be a pain for cable management. It and the bundle of cables would end up on the floor entangled with all the other cables. That's as long as you can switch computers with a hotkey.
What part of and out of the computer manufacturer's bottom line (resulting in higher prices for everyone else) didn't you understand? Maybe that computer manufacturer is one of the many who went out of business. Maybe the employees who lost their jobs had their kids starve in the streets or turn to a life of crime and mug and stab you in an alley. Who knows? It's just not good to waste things or deliberately break things just because they're not yours or belong to someone you don't think you care about.
A Mac Mini would fit perfectly on top of my PC tower. If I had a KVM that would fit underneath with short USB and DVI cables to the Mac Mini and longer cables to my PC and monitor/keyboard/mouse, I'd be set. The ordinary DVI KVM's are rather clunky. A sleekly designed one made spedifically with the Mac Mini in mind would be a good deal for switchers (or people with multiple Mini's, maybe).
It's made of clear acrylic, so I wouldn't recommend it... unless you're one of those people who believe the police wouldn't be able to see it unless they open their minds.
Wouldn't it be more productive to study ways to combat spam? From simple Bayesian techniques to graph theoretic methods? That would teach you a lot of theory and principles you could apply to other courses as well. Right now, it just sounds like they're just doing this for attention...
This may be from the same line of university thought that decided it was a good idea to study LSD by taking LSD repeatedly and writing about it. Hopefullly they won't start "studying" mass murder or genocide.
sunday school (religious dogma should be followed without question).
At a young age, that is definately the case. However, as you get older, you learn that true faith can ONLY be attained through introspection, examination of the world, and serious, real doubt. Any religion that doesn't absolutely want you to doubt its validity, truth, and teachings is a cult, in my opinion.
Those sites are a red herring. Nothing illegal is going on. The smart site operators know that law enfocement is watching them, so they always stay on the right side of the law. They never do anything overtly sexual. The wankers who use the site might as well be looking at the JC Penny advertisement in the Sunday newspaper. The girls are undoubtedly being exploited, but it's by their parents who sold their pictures that probably got resold to these sites. It's basically just stupid.
I have much more opposition to these sites than to x-rated comics involving children. For these sites, there are actual children involved. In comics, it's just ink on paper and some weirdo's fantasy.
4 of the six of the pictures that were posted on the linked website were in public places. Only two were from the inside of a hotel room. Those pics were undoubtedly the more "normal" pictures, i.e., just the girl by herself in public. The more graphic pictures would not have been modified since they would not have shown as much of the identifiable background scenery.
Young people can get a distorted view of sex from porn. They might think that it is normal in everyday sex for the guy to pull out and shoot his load on the girl's face. They might also think that 3-way or 4-way sex is common, or that cable repairmen, plumbers, mailmen, and pool cleaners often have sex with bored housewives with big breasts who sun themselves by the pool naked. Anyway, the fact that porn production values have dropped so much in the past 20 years doesn't help things. Modern porn looks less like escapist fantasy and more like "Reality TV". At least video games look more like fantasy.
He's not talking about "Native Americans", the people descended from the bloodthirsty savages who roamed these lands and fought battles against settlers where they killed men, women, and children indiscriminately. He's talking about people from India, the south Asian subcontinent, home to more than 1 billion people. India was home to Ghandi, the famous "passive resistance" leader who, after having been trained as a lawyer in England. helped win independence for India from Britain. Now, among other things, India is an emerging nuclear power involved in a long-standing dispute over the territory of Kasmir with neighboring Pakistan. English is a primary language of India due to its long history as a British colony. This fact combined with inexpensive communications technologies and lower wage prices in India has allowed U.S. companies to save money by hiring Indian companies or contractors to do things like customer service, tech support, and engineering. Some Americans, notably ones who lose their jobs to overseas "outsourcing", object to this practice. Often, however, they do not blame the Indians, who are merely being opportunistic, but rather they blame the American companies who do the outsourcing for being unfair to their own people.
Well, obviously she didn't marry him for money, since he had none. But many women intend to change a man to make him more successful. If that fails, after a few years, she will move on, especially if there are no kids involved. On the other hand, both men and women often get used to bad situations and will resist change unless there is physical abuse or some outside impetus like an affair.
As for her loving this guy as he is, there's a problem with that too. He's a loser any way you look at it. Doing odd jobs to make $100 a month? Leeching off of his wife for a living? He's deplorable. There must be something seriously wrong with this women to get involved with someone like that. She's probably fat, ugly, and has an inferiority complex. She latches on to the only guy to ever pay her any attention, this loser stereotypical lazy American.
Btw, of course she's not blonde. She's Japanese. No Japanese have naturally blonde hair.
I'm suprised she didn't divorce him. She probably didn't think she could do better. Maybe divorcees have trouble getting married in Japan (i.e., divorcees are good to have affairs with, but not good enough to marry).
The Japanese will tend to download the raws (no subtitles) rather than the fansubs that have English subtitles all over the place (often including obscuring the opening theme with karaoke lyrics).
The Japanese companies also complain about Japanese fans buying Region 1 DVD's because they're cheaper and often have more episodes per disc than the Japanese Region 2 releases of the same show.
There's no fighting in Kiki's Delivery Service. There is drama and tension and the heroine overcomes some obstacles, but there is no fighting.
In Angelic Layer, the fighting is more like sport fighting than actual fighting. The fighting is between robot dolls controlled by the girls to determine who is a better robot controller. Much of the details in the fights are about how differences in size of opponents influence optimal fighting tactics.
In Magic Knights Rayearth, the girls are transported to a alternate universe, given magical powers, and asked to rescue a princess or something. So they are doing something somewhat noble. The ending has a strange twist if I recall correctly.
Fighting isn't a bad thing, by the way. Fighting to defend your life or your family from someone who doesn't believe in pacifism is never wrong. And fighting in entertainment is just for fun, so don't take it so seriously.

Slashdot, the most successful way to kill a cheap webserver.
...would be a two-port ethernet switch.
Actually, Bush talked about reducing frivolous lawsuits in his state of the union address.
That can't be! We hate Bush here at Slashdot! He can't do anything right. It's not fair!

that sounds convenient.
In Windows, I usually do "right-click, w, f", so I don't need to move the mouse much.
the better educated Indians seem to speak with an educated British accent (as opposed to a non-educated British slang accent, or an Indian accent).
I don't know what a TiPB is though.
I'm actually planning on buying a Mac Mini, but not because I consider myself "creative" in some narcisisstic way.
There are plenty of "creative" people who refuse to use Macs because they consider them "dumbed down" and overpriced platforms.

On Dish Network, you can get a channel called TV JAPAN. Aparrantly it consists of a bunch of NHK shows.
t ernational/packages/indexalacarte.asp?languageType =Japanese
http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/programming/in
$25/month, just for that one channel.
The Japanese will tend to download the raws (no subtitles) rather than the fansubs that have English subtitles all over the place (often including obscuring the opening theme with karaoke lyrics).

You put the cod in your ear. Actually, if you put one in each ear, it will be secure, since you won't be able to hear anything you say.
