Damnit!
Think before posting... 1999 + 1111 = 3110
That 0 looks pretty even!

This is slashdot.... What happenned here???? Moderated up without even thinking..
For the record: Odd Numbers +- Odd Numbers = Even Numbers Odd Numbers +- Even Numbers = Odd Numbers
So if this is an odd day (Which it is) the next odd day will require adding/subtracting an even number of years, an even number of months, an even number of days.
I would have expected/. moderators to know some simple arithmetic rules, or at least be savvy enough to think.
Well, my understanding is that the reason these people worked so hard to break CSS was because it was the first step on a long road to DVD playback under linux. That's the only connection.
And as Bruce said, RE for interoperability is legal.
On the surface it seems that this case of insider trading is based on his knowledge that the company was going to report losses, while the investment community expected gains. When the news hits, the investors jump ship and the price drops. The OSC is claiming he sold before the announcement in order to get the most for his stock.
He is claiming his decision to sell the stock was based on outstanding loans, not his possible knowledge of the stock dropping in the near future.
Its kind of confusing to me though. I thought that when a "CEO/CFO/Large player" in a company is going to buy/sell stock in the company they work for, they have to file the request to the Exchange. The exchange has to approve it, etc...
So, did he file to make the transaction, if so, did they approve it. If so, what the hell are they complaining about?
And if he made 7,100,000 dollars, who lost it? The answer is, the people who were "willing" to buy the stock at the higher price. But, would they have been willing to buy the stock if they knew what MC knew? Lots of questions about intentions and intentions are very hard to know with certainty, unless you are the party involved.
> Heh, you forgot about the second half. > > 1.I give you all my money. > 2.You give me all your money.
Your point is humourous. But, ethics is about how one should live life. It's a decision that you make for yourself. If your decision is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, that is your decision.
You are trying to count on me making the same decision as you. You can't count on the fact that everyone will make the same choice as you.
However, my "1/Golden Rule" roughly stated: "Do not intentionally hurt others unless they are intentionally trying to hurt you" is still a viable choice for me. Despite what anyone else choses for them.
I thought about my "1/Golden Rule" some more, and it does have problems. 1) Its impossible to know others intentions. Maybe it should be "Do not hurt others unless it is to prevent them from hurting you." I'm sure that has problems.
In regards to Point 6, I'm sure that you would like it if I gave you all of my money, so why don't you give me all your money. (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you)
The "golden rule" does not work in practice.
Personally, I like: "Do not intentionally harm others, unless they are intentionally trying to harm you"
Kinda of a 1/"golden rule".
Im sure it's not full proof, but I haven't found the snag yet.
As for the real topic: I haven't read his book, so how could I comment on it?
The man page on cal specifically states that the year is 1-9999. So I guess technically it is not a bug in calendar to not accept negative years. However it is a limitation that I would love to see fixed. It might get tricky since '-' means that an option is to follow. So that might get a bit tricky syntactically (sp). err..... a bit tricky with the syntax. (thats better)
As for "cal 5.5".. that looks like a bug. Kinda lame of cal to swallow stupid numbers.
To see why its so hard, type "cal 1752" on your Unix box and look at September. "man cal" explains why September is so strange, but in that context, our calendar is actually very inaccurate. To try and determine dates that are mentioned in historical documents, astronomical events are used to try and solidify the true date.
For "vague" instance, phrases in the bible are interpreted to mean a lunar eclipse, or planet alignments, or etc.. From that they use a decent astronomical program to try and trace backwards to get a date in reference to our current date. However, how many programs take into account September 1752, as well as all the other leap year issues that occurred in the past. It's very difficult to pin down ancient dates.
I believe the way to calculate the end of the Aztec calendar is to find a date in the past where you can synch up the two calendars and then count forward. Some archeologist has to try and determine the two days that can be synched. I imagine that is difficult and has some interpretation built into it.
Ive always thought that the N64 and Reality Co-Processor would/could make a great computer. The next version of the processors in the Nintendo platform are going to be designed by some company formed by former SGI employees.... Art X?? I think it was called that. Any hoo... Based on how strong the Reality Coprocessor is and that Amiga is advertising for MIPS friendly people, it actually sounds more like "Art X" than it does Transmeta.
Personally I would like either Gnome "or" Kde. I do not want Gnome "and" Kde. Here is why: I don't want to have two sets of libraries on my machine taking up twice the memory/disk they should. If one choice is made, then less bloat.
This will inevitably add to feature bloat so they will be "compatible".
Its good because:
Its a good baby step towards cooperation that may lead to one widget/library set being dropped.
I can understand some of the differences now. Thank you.
I am anti-spam without a doubt.
And usually I feel that library filtering is a good thing. It just seems to complicated to try and do such a task considering how much fine art has nipples.
My message obviously looked like trolling/flame-bait, but I still think it's difficult to try and hold the stance (library_porn==good && spam==bad).
Think of the children!:)
Besides don't you think that porn at libraries cost taxpayers? (electricity, net-connection, employees, building, water/restrooms, maintenance)
Im so sick of winmodems, I can just imagine that this thing is crippled with one.
There really should be a way for us to put pressure against those things.
Its embarrasing to have to tell friends and family that they cant use linux to do ppp because they have a winmodem and linux doesn't support that. (I know its not linux's fault)
Why is it that humans can not be content? I'm not sure if its intrinsic of governments or humans as a whole. The reason we form governments is to keep ourselves protected from invasions and losing what we have.
We have to protect ourselves because we believe the other guy is plotting to invade.
Peace agreements never work. The world can't trust itself.
America is afraid that China is going to blow us up. China is afraid that America is going to blow them up. So we each build weapons to keep the other at bay.
The American population just wants to live without fear of being blown up. The Chinese population just wants to live without fear of being blown up.
Is it just because of governments that these conflicts occur?
Is it possible to live without governments? I don't think so, because of criminals.
It would be an extremely fast rc5 cruncher, especially because of all the vector units. It should be possible to calculate 8 keys in parallel. I've been looking at N64 (Reality Signal Processor (RSP)) for a long time and they have a Vector Shift Left and a Vector Shift Right. The only issue is communication, I dont see an easy way to push blocks into the n64 and get results out. You could embed blocks into the program before you send it to the N64, but it would require too much user intervention.

I think the reason for florida is that if something goes really wrong, the debris won't land on people. It would land in the ocean.

Bah, accidents dont happen very often (only once so far).. I agree with you.. The money is worth the people.

RDRAM is also used in the N64.
