It's not a magical mystery why your page doesn't render.. you're using XHTML, which IE does not and has never supported. If you fall back to a HTML 4.01 header, then IE will likely render your page just fine.
(Not defending IE, I hate the damn thing and use Firefox as my primary browser, but if you're going to be designing user-friendly websites, you need to know these sorts of things)
Wow, that sucks. I've never been mugged. I don't even know anyone whose been mugged.... I don't think anyone I know knows anyone who's been mugged.../Canadian
A friend of mine was mugged and subsequently beaten (to death) on his way home from the mall. He had made a number of large purchases (clothes, shoes, the usual) and was jumped by 4 guys. He was walking with a guy who got scared and ran away while the attackers murdered my friend.. and for what, a pair of shoes?
This is in Southern Ontario.. and it can happen to you. I agree with the other advice in this thread, mostly the look like you're in your element, know where you're going and what you're doing. I will add 2 more pieces of advice:
- If doing any kind of heavy shopping, make sure you have a ride home.
- Don't even so much as look the wrong way at anyone wearing a Blue or Red (particularly Red) bandana...
Did you play Wolfenstein? You killed evil hand- and machine-gun toting Nazis, you did not play as a Nazi.. You also killed some hideous (for a 386;) Nazi-made monsters, IIRC.
I *really* get a kick out of it when people buy an MP3 player and a pair of high-end earbuds. It's just plain inane
Ever heard of --alt-preset-extreme?
Sure.. stuff I download will continue to sound crappy (I don't even keep anything below 192kbit anymore).. but stuff I encode myself sounds quite good. I'm not audiophile, but I cannot tell the difference between an --alt-preset-extreme'd recording and the original.
You know, I've gone through several phones with varying usefullness of the vibrate feature.
Nokia 5190 - Vibrate function was only available with a special battery. I actually got one of these batteries, and was completly unable to get the damn thing to vibrte. (0/10)
Nokia 3390 - Great vibrate. When someone calls, even if it's tucked away under 4 layers of clothing, you'll notice. (10/10)
Nokia 8390 - So-so vibrate. This phone is much smaller, so I guess there wasn't room for a big weight. I'd missed several calls while in vibrate mode, so I usually had to have it set on a ringer-of-increasing-loudness. (6/10)
Ericsson A1228d - (Current Phone, since I lost my 9390, and they sent me this refurb piece of shit) No vibrate feature. No other features either, other then a very limited phonebook that won't even sort names alphabetically. (-inf/10)
So it's not always a matter of being considerate.. some of us just don't have a choice!
You're going to get a Dual Opertron system to play... Snes9x and MAME? That's.. ridiculous. A 500Mhz P3/K6 class system could do it no problem.
And which PC games can really take advantage of 2 CPUs anyways?
The only way I could see such a configuration being justified is if you do actual work on your PC.. Video/Graphics editing, encoding, or processing, 3D design... you know, actualky CPU-bound operations.
- If you're taking donations on the web, Amazon.com has a much friendlier service going. a) They take lots in comission, b) Most of my donations come from SourceForge projects.. SF uses Paypal.
- If you're running a low-volume e-store that's not using eBay, you're best positioning yourself on Yahoo Shopping or a simlar storefront-providing network. Have you seen how much Yahoo Shopping charges for even a basic account!?
The reason we all use paypal is partly because it's convenient, and mostly because its' CHEAP. A hell of a lot cheaper then any of the alternatives. You get what you pay for.
I never let my paypal account go above $100, as I don't trust them. If you're making any kind of money, then you shouldn't be using PayPal.. but if you're just making a little bit on the side, you simply have no choice.
If I was using this technique, then I would have definitely added the names of Iraqi (and Egyptian, and Palestinian, etc..) cities and gouvernment officials, as it's reasonable to "expect" them to occur in the documents.
Nobody is saying you have to use the same wordlist for attacking every document.
You're getting download credits on other clients at a ratio of 3:1 (iirc).. as you get enough download credits, more and more clients will begin to send to you..
BTW: Media levy only applies to Audio CD-Rs.. so just buy normal, Data CD-Rs, and burn Audio on them! In case you're wondering who in their right mind would actually buy an Audio CD-R, most stand-alone professional Audio CD duplication/recording equipment requires it.
Not JUST time dependent, but content-dependent too... so if a window's contents change, it's transparency and user-interactivity can also change.
Imagine if you sold something online and had an application that monitored purchases on your site and would give you an indiciation of "hey! get off your ass and ship this product". What Apple is trying to patent here is the ability to have this window's opacity degrade with time as long as you have no new orders. The opacity can degrade so much that after a while, the window no longer accepts user input, but passes it down to windows that are below it. However, when an order comes in (the window's contents change), the window again becomes visible (grabbing your attention) and resumes accepting user input.
It's actually a really neat idea.. but I still think it's too broad to deserve a patent.
I was referring to the CPU cooling programs that reprogram your chipset, not the HLT opcode-issuing programs (which are built into modern OSs from what I understand).
There is no fair way to compare CPUs of different architectures (with synthetic tests).
If you let companies into the bechmark design process, they will cheat (see 3DMark scandal).
If you don't let companies into the bechmark design, then your benchmarks will never be able to squeeze "the most" performance out of anything, and how much performance you do get could be determined more by how you're testing then what you're testing on.
Comparing CPUs is a very difficult task to do.. notice the reviewer ran more then 10 "real-life" tests to compare the processors.. this is a far more useful metric to the consumer then how well it can crunch through some synthetic tests.
They just want to know how much faster their games will go, their videos will encode, and how much quicker photoshop will render their favorite filter. Those is very difficult to represent with a single, common number.. especially across architectures.
I tried one of those programs once.. fried my mobo (Asus A7V133). Just shut down one day never to turn back on. YMMV, but I'm sticking to the "good thermal paste + good aftermarket cooler + not overclocking method" of cooling from now on... no more software that does funky things with my chipset.
Thankyou! I've done a fair ammount of buying and selling as well.. here are are my rules:
1) Don't deal with anyone outside of North America. Ever. For any reason.
2) Don't buy electronics at too-good-to-be-true prices. (Because is IS too good to be true)
3) Don't buy anything with "this is an actuion for instructions on how to buy...." in the description. Run away.
4) Don't sell to people with 0 feedback via Paypal. Request a money order or other method of payment.
5) If you're thinking of buying something substancial (>$100) then RESEARCH. Research both the item and the seller(s), ask LOTS of questions. If the seller can't get back to you with accurate information quickly, then move on.
6) Profit!
I'm sure people have come up with more.. post them here.

Lets just say that a lot of steel gets made in my town by some companies, one of which isn't particularly economically stable right now.

With that being said, I still want one...
I've also participated in similar team programming contests .. but this one sounds different.
Instead of being given X hours to do Y tasks, you're simply given X hours to find something cool to do with the input data.
It's much more like a let-the-creativity-flow thing then a problem solving contest.
I'm quite happy with saying that SourceForge should reassess their security.
Do you actually run projects at SourceForge? You have to use a ssh tunnel to be able to write to any project repository.

random? you mean ransom right? Preview.. then Preview again.

Insightful? Dictionaries contain names of places, and things.
Quote from article: This eliminated all but seven words: Ugandan, Ukrainian, Egyptian, uninvited, incursive, indebted and unofficial.
That list definitely looks like it includes the names of some places.
Here in Canada, because of that point, there are already alot of legal grey areas and trade offs because of this.
Yep, we have some wonderul trade-offs such as downloading music for personal use is legal in Canada, and has been for some time. Uploading, we're still working on, but we have already have a consumer-favorable ruling (mostly due to the half-assed case presented by the CRIA)..

It's also going to be about half the price of the PSP.. ($150 vs $250)
And lets not forget it has a second screen, which if used correctly by game developers, could turn out to be invaluable..
