I have my grandfathers govmint issues slide rule, and instrauction book.
It is 4 x 6 inchish and is rotary (not linear).
it is 3/32 or 1/8 inch think and has a slide away card with the periodic table, and tables of values. I have a semi usable original instruction manual (it all went through the wash once).
Well I use 100 % of my CPU power sometimes too. I think saying you are using 10% of cpu power at pretty much any givin time is similar to the brain argument.
God, this is like the fith post to the effect of underwater lighting is dangerous. For Christ's sake, I have been in plenty os swimming pools with underwater lighting, and not feared for my life. The make friggen glass walkways way up in the air (I admit that scared me shitless at first but I got over it). Airplane windows are plenty strong.
Maybe your'e all too jealous about it (I know I am), but say something about the pink raisin's, the lighting thing just isn't funny.
"Being extremely light, they rapidly float up into the atmosphere and diffuse into space."
That just sounds stupid to me. I mean maybe this is a total layman's FAQ (safer for the crackpot that only laymen read it).
But "light" means absolutly nothing, does he mean low mass, or low density or both. I would think a Hydrino would have a rather high density (approaching that of a nutron at it's most collapsed state?).
If that were the case wouldn't they sink not float?
If the car pool lane was full, another carpool lane would be added.
By the the time you have two full car pool lanes (half of your highway) with on average tripple the amount of people you have essentially doubled your roads capacity (2*3) + 2 = 8 apperent lanes. I would imagine there would be signifigantly less traffic jamming if the road had the capacity of a 16 lane highway.
I did go there, (thats how I get started), and I even edited the file so it was right mouse button and not left to do stuff (I did not find my attempts to select text coaseing me to go backwards very amusing). I understand that gesturing is very primitive, and if tolerance for "spazzy hand" is built in (so my gestures aren't U,L,D instead of L) I would be more likly to switch (but the right click wheel to change tabs is still pretty key).
When I said I won't be using Mozilla for a while I meant that the extras I like are not there yet. What Mozilla neads in my book is: 1: hold mouse wheal and mouse up or down for fast scrolling
2: click events to be part of gestures, and more spazzy hand tolerence
3: more tab emphasis, and less new window (also tabnyness to be dialog configurable more so then now)
A while ago (M17?) I decided I was going to wait for 1.0 before I switched over to Mozilla.
Since then I fell in love with Opera's gestures and tabbed browsing. I think that Mozilla handles Tabs Awsomly, but that its gestures are kinda lame.
ex: in Opera I can right click hold and mouse wheel to change windows.
and can go foward and back with just the buttons (no motion). In Mozilla I am stuck with holding a button that has another function and moving the mouse, and with my spazzy hand I fail half the time succeed.
Amyway, I like Mozilla but it won't become my browser of choice anytime soon (I predict).
I believe that Sun's idea with Open Office was basically Realease application as open source, make it 100% file format compatable, or open your specs for the file format.
I think by far the COOLEST feature in Opera is right-click-hold and mousewheel combination to cycle windows. Better then tabbing Better then all other gestures combined, but maybe I'm just gay.
If your not going to vote do to a belief that both canidates are shit, you should still register, go, and then abstain from all races.
If you do not even go your probably just telling yourself your making a statement and are really just lazy (at least that is me). Also the presidential race is not the only one to think about, there should be at least one local election that has a good canidate to throw your sopport behind.
The recomendation to campaign is good if you really do support a canidate, a few hours there could easily make the difference of 10 or 20 votes, and thats impact.
anyway, I probably just sound like an idiot, all that I really wanted to say was that if you don't at least go to the voting booth your probably just a lazy fuck, and not making a statement.
(256)+(128)+(64)+(32)+(16)+(8)+(4)+(2) = is what the multipliers are internally. 0+0+0+1+0+1+0+1 = 42 in binary (base 2)
you forgot the 1's column.
you really have (256)+(128)+(64)+(32)+(16)+(8)+(4)+(2)+(1) so 00010101 does not eaqual 42 it equals 16+4+1 which is 21.
as a side note, if you have a math eqaution in all of a certain base, then you convert both sides, it is still the same numbers, you caannot magically convert bases of an equaltion for a correct answer. In the instance of the base 13 you are not converting it, ytou arte keeping the same numbers, so it works, but in this case you aree trying to convert the numbers, and it doesnt.
Comments are owned by the poster. Their contentis the owner's responsibility. Microsoft should be sending letters to those people, who should then ask/. to remove the comments..if they want to be censored. This is part of the continuing trend to jump over the responsibility of individuals and make their actions the responsibiility of someone else (i.e. their ISP (Internet Service (i.e.News) Provider). The Internet makes control of digital media impossible, deal with it.
I did not mean to post the last message, I quoted the origonal then tried to put a space, unfortunatly the submit button was highlighted.
Anyway I meant to say that I think that an argument like this is very unreasonable after the president set in the napster case. I somehow think M$ has a whole lot more mony to waste on grinding innocent peoples faces into the pavemeant the Matalica does./. probably should remove those posts (perhaps in their place have a link to a morror of somebody else who hasnt yet been contacted by M$). I think M$'s standing here is even better then Matallica's because it is a trade "secret" and they have more money.
Of course maybe comprimising without a court order is a foolish stradegy too. Does anyone remember the optimism a few months ago when there were a few rulings favorable to personal rights (code as frree speech for one)?

I fond that this featrure is quite useful. It does not seam to block all adds, but it does seam to block ones that lag the whole pages download speed. Even though this is a great feature having it so easy to block out adds seams to me like something that could hurt the web in the long run. The people who are complaining that it takes up their desktop space I think are just silly it (it seams to me that I still have the space from the add used up).
If evverybody had a feature like this it woluld not be useful because companies would find ways around it, and it would become useful. On the otherhand if it is left as a hidden preference (in my opinion what should be done with it) it allows people who have more sense then a patato bug to turn it on, while people who don't are none the wiser.
I'm sure that fir some applications a beowolf cluster of lots and lots of 486's could be fairly cost effective. used bourds, like 5 to 15 dollors, prosessors 2 dollors nic's like 30 a piece, power supply 30 dollors cableing would actually be a signifigent chunk of your cost.
But really, can you expect these vendors that are just barly opening up their graphics specs to allow good cross platform game development, and wont let linux users get software for their modems (I mean relaly, how could a WIN modem be such a trade secret that they wont open it up) unless it's M$ preventing them because it ties into a "secret" part of the OS and they don't want it to get out.
anyway my point is that if a 50 dollor modem or a 200 dollor graphics card (though it appears that graphics vendors are startting to be cool now) can't be opened, why are they going to let us see the inner workings ofyour $3000 doorstop?
Even if they have no way of prophiting off it now that they abandonned it.
I admitt my post was a little (a lot) idealic about what would be done with the tax. I do believe you are correct about the government not supporting broad-band as of yet, but I do think that if a tax was imposed that soley sopported developement it wouldn't be a bad thing. Of course the chances of this tax actually being used for this purpose are probably pretty slim and the risk very well may not be worth it. I guess I am probably just naïve about my faith in power. The difference between my suggested e-tax and mail order is that the e-tax would go back to building the internet up, and mail order does'nt use any new technology that could use some more funding. Though I find a gavernment internet a scary thought, I somehow find it much more comforting then a private one. The way we are screwed by the government I find to be much more easy to stomach then the way we are by big companies (M$ et al.).
As for Wal-Mart dieing, I don't think it is that unreasonable to think it may happen, the box stores are having trouble, for example Hechenger did over 4 billion dollors in business and went bankrupt. The over head on a store like that is emmence. They have so many levels of employees/management. A store like that has associates, suprivisors, assistant managers, manager at the store level. Past that there are area managgers (for each department), discrict manager and regional managers, then there is a level that ties the whole company together and a different chain for the wharehouses. An internet company working in real time has much less wharehouse, and no store. To think that when there is a high volume of internet traffic the prices there wont be signifigantly lower is silly. Wal-Mart has reason to want to cripple e-business now.
Thanx for responding and not just criticizing my grammer/spelling (though I don't really find/.org to be a big flame war based on things like that).

Taxes are not such a bad thing. A 2 or 3 percent tax would give it an advantage over most states (not mine, I dont pay). I think that this money should then not be given to the states just yet. But instead should be used to build up the internet, that way when broud band becomes the norm we will be able to support it. When the there is a significant amount of business on the internet and the states are beginning to feel the loss of taxes it will be time to start shifting the money from developement to the states over a 2 - 5 year prossess. In the long run everyone will be happy (we will get our broudband, wallmart will go out of business anyway, and the states will get their money when the loss starts becoming a factor, and the average consumer will still get less taxes on the net.)
please do not flame my grammer or spelling, I am only 12 and don't have a dictionary handy.

yeah, it was in Wired for April or may last year I think (I bought it when I went to earope for spring break). Though it was white then.
But they said essentialy the same things about it
I'm sure that fir some applications a beowolf cluster of lots and lots of 486's could be fairly cost effective. used bourds, like 5 to 15 dollors, prosessors 2 dollors nic's like 30 a piece, power supply 30 dollors cableing would actually be a signifigent chunk of your cost.
