Withdraw $200. Ask specifically to get it as four $50 bills
Go to McDonalds. Buy something. Pay with $50 bill #1
Go to a different fast food place. Buy something small. Pay with $50 bill #2
Go to a gas station and get $5 of gas. Pay with $50 bill #3
Go to Wal-Mart. Buy a small bottle of clorox bleach. Pay with $50 bill #4
Wait. Keep the rest of the cash.
Next time you're out of town on vacation, use cash to purchase two pre-paid cell phones.
Return home and use phones to plan and commit felonies
After you realize how stupid you are and that the feds were watching you the whole time and the second you used that phone, they were able to get the number off a tower and are already up on a wire monitoring everything you're doing and you're going to PMITA prison for a long time anyway even though you thought you were so clever, drink clorox.
Or an extension to the standard Synaptic-type front end to repositories where you could just click and run an app. What could you call something where you could just click and run any application you might want, I wonder... Hmmmm...I just can't seem to think of anything to name a click and run type of interface to open source repositories.
Yes it does. I just invented it.
Killmenow, user of Slashdot, proclaimed, "My word invention mechanism is the supercalifragilisticexpialidociousest word creation technology in the entire universe!"

As a for instance, I made it through freshman and sophomore years of college with a 4.0 GPA. Halfway through my junior year, proud of my shiny 4.0, an excellent professor I admired a great deal explained to me that he'd hire a 3.8 student over a 4.0 any day AS WOULD MOST HIRING MANAGERS precisely because 4.0 students are perceived as perfectionists and are "often too difficult to work with."
I thanked him, relaxed, and enjoyed the rest of my college experience a bit more, and graduated with a 3.78. It sometimes still annoys me that I was.02 off of my target.
700 miles in three months. ~90 days. They're moving no more than 7.777... miles each day. That's a slow pace. I assume each day will consist largely of:
De-camp: 1-2 hrs
Move: 4-5 hrs
Setup camp: 1-2 hrs
Do science stuff: 3-4 hrs
That's 9-13 hrs/day. With the rest spent trying not to die.
Realistically, I would expect them to travel as far as they can in a given day. If they manage 20 miles in a single day, great, they just got a little bit ahead so when bad things happen on those days they barely make 1 mile, they'll still be okay.
Of course, I could read the article and find out if they address this, but (this being slashdot) I won't.
So in answer to your questions: No I am not a java programmer, I consider it, much like xml to be an answer to a question that no one asked. I find it like so many of the other "modern" languages to be abysmal in form, function and performance.
I doubt we'll ever have (publicly available) highly detailed ocean maps like we have of Mars. The reason: there are no nuclear submarines on the surface of Mars.
However, Microsoft told journalists at last year's Professional Developers Conference that 70% of Windows users have between eight and 15 windows open at any one time.
Every time I run IE and go to certain websites a bunch of windows automatically open for me. It's really helpful when I'm surfing with just one hand.
Unfortunately (it's not what you meant, but...) I fear the SCOTUS right now--regardless of whether it is conservative or liberal--is most importantly pro-BUSINESS. And that means they may very well smack down Bilski HARD.
WTF?! I went to moderate your comment as Interesting and it immediately applied "Insightful" when I accidentally mouse-clicked it. Crap/.'s moderation sucks balls now.
But if the asteroid and earth are on the same orbit, how exactly does one of those objects "pass by" the other. To invoke the inevitable car analogy, that's like saying two cars driving in the same lane on the highway can pass each other. I think, more likely, the would collide.
Seems to me Earth and the asteroid could be in nearly identical orbits and pass each other, or in the same orbit and never collide so long as they're travelling the same speed (or is it velocity?) but two objects traveling the same path at different speeds don't pass each other.
...but their enterprise AV, if you have access to it, is nice.
Rephrase to: but their enterprise AV, if you have access to it, is bearable.
It's certainly better than a lot of alternatives. But we use it at our offices (not my choice) and we've had a significantly high number of problems due directly to bugs in the mcshield.exe service.
As for decent AV package for windows (home) use, I recommend Avast! But then, I'm a pirate, so...well, you know...
I sure as hell hope so. I play Guild Wars damn near daily. I just finally picked up the Eye of the North expansion, have been playing for years and haven't even made my way fully through PROPHECIES yet, much less Factions and Nightfall.
Of course, all that time I've been spending getting my Perma-Pre E/Mo character to level up has kept me isolated in a fairly small portion of that world. But I'll be damned if I don't love it. My teen son also plays regularly as well as my nephew and they both have all the Guild Wars campaigns. I am missing only Nightfall. But I figure by the time I get 'round to exploring Nightfall it'll be 2012.
I am still waiting for a game that plays like real life. You have ONE life. If you die, the game is over. There are no spawn or save points. Start the game over.
I envision a mystery/thriller game that forces you to slow down and BE CAREFUL to solve the mystery. I personally get tired of run & gun games or games that force you to die or google a walkthrough to beat it...where you can't possibly know what the next stage is unless you buy a game guide, search online, or just save and go for it, knowing if you die, so what?! You'll just restart and now you know not to do X or that you have to do Y or whatever to beat the level.
I'm looking for something that offers plenty of clues and information to the player upon investigation and exploring with relatively little danger (kind of like Myst) and something that will reward a player for that work by giving you the strategy to defeat enemies up front.
But I realize a game like this that forces slow, methodical, problem-solving, exploration and discovery well before engaging any enemies would probably bore the hell out of ADHD kids even though they'll gladly spend three hours customizing their stupid Guitar Hero character.
unskippable cutscenes:
They're acceptable once, but not every time I want to replay the game. And ANNOYING AS HELL when they occur after before a big fight and must be replayed after dieing.
He's looking at YOU, Red Steel. Fucking unskippable cut scene replaying mother-fucking game.
I always enjoyed how the Metroid Prime games had a save point just before any major boss. It got to the point when I'd find a save point just before a new door or something and immediately get a rush just from knowing I'd found the savepoint before the boss and beyond the next tunnel/door/elevator/whatever was the next great beasty.
And if you died, you started back just before the beasty, not having to re-do the trudge of traversing the eight levels between your ship and the beasty.
