God help me, we are now four cats crazy - all male.
Clovis - Mama's baby - old man, spoiled rotten, former indor cat, refuses to eat treats unless they are alive.
Grayson - Alpha male, wooly bully, the other old man, secretly loves affections, but only in the middle of the night when you'd rather sleep
Sully - former terrorist, now lovable in his threes, very fluffy
Milo - Young terrorist and menace to society, has only one eye from a childhood run in with a car, has learned how not to take pills and knock over every container of liquid in the hours
This is exactly the kind of policy that our government needs to embrace, rather than swinging from one end to the other and ballooning the budget in the meantime.
I long for these policies and party that will embrace them, but sadly neither the GOP or the Democrats seem to be in touch with reality.
Except that this isn't based on MS code, it is MS code in the form of a library that can only be redistributed in binary form. So there are multiple copies of the MS-created binary floating around on your hard drive that MS knows about but does nothing to fix.
I cannot believe that yet again, the most glaring technical error (besides the horrible rear projection during the Rankor scene), the black "sharpie on the film" slug on the emperor's face is still there! If we can make a muppet song and dance number in ROTJ, why, oh why, can't we get this one little thing fixed?
As the target audience for the President's Christian message, I find him to be incredible superficial in his faith. That he uses it to try and garner support from me, and I get emails talking about what a man of faith he is from friends of mine that swallow it sickens me. George Bush is no more a Christian than Osama Bin Laden is. If the President was truly a Christian, he'd take more of the writings of Paul the Apostle to heart and actually do what they say. Because he goes to church and says the right things, I'm supposed to support him blindly?
I would kill to have a legit way of downloading b-sides that are normally only available on import cd-singles. Many of these are now out of print and they only way to get them is on P2P.
Is it just me or is the operator very very bad at reading? He sounds like he's never read this before. And other filings. We have made... Chief Ecc. Executive Officer.
A good friend of mine recently quit her job because she was asked to do something illegal, and when she refused, she was told that this situation would arise again, and she would have to do it. She quit, and finally, almost a year later, she's now getting unemployment for the seven months she was out of work.
Oh, and the company she worked for is now the target of a class action lawsuit for commiting the act she quit over. This, plus the results of her unemployment hearing, are making it very easy to recover her 401k money she was forced to cash out to have something to live on.
Moral of both these stories, don't do it. And if you stick to your guns and do what's right, you will be okay in the end.
actually i mistyped - her speed's 130 down / 600 up. Which is great for BitTorrent, but totally backwards from what I'd expect. And of course customer service has gotten back to me quickly on this issue.
Its Catch 22, we need your technical skills so we promote you, but when we promote you, you manage people
Part of what drew my to my current employer is a dual advancement track - one to stay technical and one to go managerial. I want to avoid all managerial duties like the plague and now I can.
I know it's getting old, but Firefox really is better for this kind of thing. The whole IE Browser Helper Objects thing is a massive headache and a great way for all these places to insert their code onto your machine.
I switched my non-techie mother-in-law over to Firefox and she has been ecstatic over it. She thanked me yesterday because she hasn't had her browser hijacked, gotten malicious pop-ups, or been infected with spyware since I installed it.
My bad, I was thinking of L3 cache and the older Prestonia Xeons. Just checked on Intel's page for the official specs on the processors and sure enough all the Prescott P4's have 1MB cache. Guess they need to offset the increase in pipeline somehow.
The Xeon has a larger L2 cache than the desktop variant. This is where Intel got the core for the p4 "Extreme Edition" - they took Xeons that didn't pass the multiproc test, binned them as "performance" p4's and marked up the price.
Where I think we'd get a better idea is on dual CPU units. I think the battle with these chips will be in database boxes where CPU power is king, and running dual Nocona Xeons vs. dual Opterons would show how good the plumbing is on these systems and how much data they can crunch before going boom.
My budget office has allocated funds but they won't be available for another three weeks. (We're buying a house, everything else goes on hold) Id releases their engines as GPL, releases Linux binaries, they will get my cash. Carmack and company deserve it. Hoever, my gaming fix needed to be satisfied now.
I disagree with you. Once I fork over the cash and complete the transaction for my iPod, I can do whatever I want with it. If I want to hack it and put (God forbid) Real encoded songs on it, I can do that since I paid for it! Saturn can no more tell me that I have to use Saturn gas, or Saturn rims on my car, than Apple can tell me what I can do with my iPod.
Cracking the iPod open and extending the playback options for Real's downloadable music store is what this is all about. It's called backing the winning horse.
I think at that point, I'd go back to the maintainers for the modules and ask what their criteria is for accepting patches in the first place.
GHS's concept of how patches are accepted in the first place makes this entire argument flawed. He acts as if anyone can put anything into any package, and that's just not the case.
One of the patents referenced as Related Applications turns out to be a circuit patent from TI, and the name isn't found anywhere in the USPTO database. The other Related Application looks like it's describing FTP - pulling down something from a remote server and putting it into local storage.
This guy has a great history of taking the obvious and making it a patent.

Are you listening Apple??

And what's this I hear about you having problems with your inventory reports?
Actually, she would have stayed with my wife and I, or another one of our friends. There's always resources available if you're doing the right thing.

Cincibell totally is teh suck.
My mother-in-law's DSL speed is 130 up/600 down. Even they can't explain that one to me.

If I had mod points sir, you would have them. I was stuck on what the heck I'd want to put on my car and couldn't think of anything.
