Wanna know what's probably happening at eBay right now?
Hello? Dev team? When will the toolbar be ready? Really? Six weeks? I think not. Ship in 3 or you're fired. Click.
Hello? Systems D00ds / Web Devs? Put the security enhancements on hold. You have three weeks to figure out how to break the Stanford tool bar; the sooner the better. And then roll out the changes with some new eye-candy so we don't look like asses.
The correct design, IMNSHO, is to design all devices so that all lights use a common ground. This ground then gets connected to a push-button switch. Push the switch, lights work. Push it again, lights don't work. End of problem.
You could even rig this standardized switch so that while it's being pushed, regardless of the previous state, the lights work. So if you're not sure, you just hold the button down to see if your box is fux0red.
"Fucking L. Ron Hubbard is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Scientology!"
The peace sign has the palm of the hand facing the receiver.
That's actually the Australian and New Zealander equivalent of The Finger.
Which, BTW, Bush gave to the Aussies on his first tour. Gets off the plane, boom, up goes The Aussie Finger.
Imagine what would have happened if John Howard got off the plane in Washington and flipped y'all the bird? Jesus H. Christ, you guys probably would've nuked them back to the stone age!

In certain parts of the USA, teachers may not even teach the theory of evolution, or that the earth is more than 6,000 years old!
There are basically three levels of inspection: federal, state, and uninspected or custom-slaughter plants. Meat processed at a federally inspected plant may be sold in any state, while meat from state-inspected plants can usually only be sold in-state, and is subject to state regulations. Uninspected plants usually process for the owners' use, and meat processed in these plants must be stamped "Not For Sale"
Sounds to me like "Exhaust Pipe Fabrication in California for Off-Road-Only Vehicles", only in meat.

This happened for me with Windows XP. The compelling features were:
- No requirement to reboot when changing DNS servers or IP number
- Fast User Switching
(both of which, BTW, have been more-or-less available in UNIX for at least two decades)
You're right that an open connection is just an abstraction -- a 5-dimensional vector, and that's all -- but it's important to realize that, at the moment, there is a real-ish cost for keeping a TCP connection open: the inability to make or receive voice calls with your handset.
For whatever reason, phone/network makers have limited phones to having one "conversation" at a time -- a voice call, or a data call... it is exactly analagous to running PPP over dial-up.
The only way to deliver OOB notification appears to be SMS. So, it's *possible* to deliver SMS telling the phone to switch modes and poll for e-mail... But ugh.
So, you're all right -- an open connection *really* doesn't cost anything, except that having the phone in connection-capable mode costs phone function. Stupid? Yes. But what am I to do about it?
My guess is that Sodium lithium boron silicate is the base substance or host crystal -- kryptonite -- and that the fluorine is what gives it its colour. Just like in gem stones. Ruby is corundum with chromium oxide, whereas sapphires are the same corundum base crystal with iron or titanium impurities.
I mean, I'm not a crackberry head, so I haven't looked that hard, but I'm sure my rep told me it was coming "real soon now" for the Treo when I bought my 650 a couple of years ago.
> S-video out isn't OS controlled, if you have it plugged in to the tv at boot it will work
That's funny, it's controlled by the video driver on my laptop (SIS741) under Windows XP. Why wouldn't it be OS-controlled under Linux?
That doesn't really make sense. I used to get furious at winblows because it made me reboot because I wasnted to change my DNS server. Now you're telling me that I have to *hard reboot* a Linux box because I want to plug in a TV? I mean, WTF?!

Oh, I figured eBay was late because she'd been fucking Craig's List.

My high school burned down TWICE, but has never, ever, had a shooting.
Yeah. Sentient being, that's it. He just wanted more input Stephanie.

No, not invention, masturbation.

I think he's still sore at the prof. And below the elbow.
This would work a lot better (and be a lot cheaper) if, instead of plastique or thermite you simply used Corbomite.
Yeah, well.
Milli Vanilli said you can blame it on the rain,
And if you blame it on the rain, what can be gained so..
If all fails, you can blame it on bees.
Not to put too fine a point on it, I'd likely get fired for achieving that metric.

Say, on a small island.. just off the coast of Miami..

Very interesting.

Your argument falls flat on its face; specifically, you are using a prism to equally divide white light, and reporting what your human eye sees.
Since photosynthesis does not occur in the human brain, human colour perception has nothing, whatsoever, to do with it.
That's because their music goes all the way to eleven!

Pink/Orange kryptonite makes you gay with a penchant for watersports. But only when using club drugs.

Did it not materialize?
Interesting, I always thought you used pine for that.
