Because you had to set the wallpaper to something with Internet Explorer. They wanted the background to be a solid blue. Typically, I would set the wallpaper using Internet Explorer to remove the offending image and then set it to blue afterwords.
Actually I did something similar with the 9900 processor from the TI. The board that it originally came in had a crippled RAM bus or something. So there was a kit that you could build that took better advantage of the 16-bit processor. That was actually a pretty good processor in its day, or so I remember.
It was called grom (graphics rom). You wrote an address to it, and then subsequent reads returned bytes from the file. There was also a gram, but I don't know if that was used on the 99/4A production machine.
Have to agree. Sting? Google? They could have just told them. If the government wants to steal there money and ours, I would prefer plain old taxes. No speed traps, crazy fines in some cities that will get everyone about once a year, etc. Sometimes things get past the Mexican border too. Why should Google do their job anyhow?
I know Google has a lot of money, but a $500,000 fine is plain theft. Has the government stopped drugs coming in thru Mexico? Maybe they should be fined for that. It's all silly.
Well, the story is clearly not about actual science, but how crazy some of these remote viewing people can be.
The group claiming to see the alien ship are not in the least bit credible. Slashdot efditors: If you are going to discuss lunatics, at least get someone with an interesting past. For example:
Reading Laura's site, she has a ton of amazing claims, in fact, the missions to Mars are far from being the craziest of her claims. You can tell it is written with sincerity, but I just can't believe a member of the Eisenhower family could be this crazy.
Meaning one developer is working while another agent is standing next to him, with a gun pointed at his head, and waiting for the compiler to produce even one error......
The senior developers are permitted to have only one warning, no more.....

Meaningless metric. What matters is how many places up or down you move.
Like adding the halfback 20 to the fullback 40 and getting the guard 60.
Totally agree, man. As long as the rape of the Constitution isn't too widespread, it's ok. It's just a little rape.

A oath to defend, from all threats foreign and domestic, and uphold the Constitution of the US.

Nice point : The Government can sue itself.
Who told the music industry about the great firewall of China. It's quite obvious where they are getting their recent ideas.
Ideas borrowed from China?
And this is why lobbying and campaign contributions need to be outlawed.
But it didn't get done.

So... how long until this microbe gets into the wild and we end up with an ocean of ethanol...?

You can't PCR an unknown sequence, gotta design the primers first.
This article is so vague that I cannot even begin to ponder how it actually works, and I'm halfway through a PhD in molecular biology, I should add.
I thought that the whole point of PCR is that you can.
Wrong thread, I think you meant to post in the next thread down.

You've never heared of the 'little ice age' ?
They are little ice age deniers.
A motivational speaker who used a cape was short on time, so he put it on early.
When the cops stopped him, they asked if he decided to drive today.
I read somewhere that if you had a rope made of spider silk and thick as a paper pen you could stop a flying Boeing ...
Only if you can hold your end of it.
