It amazes me how little functionality Microsoft's operating systems offer powerusers and server admins, yet they continue using them by virtue of them being the dominant paradigm outside most of academia, high tech and industries that have been using computers since the 1950's like Banking and such. Even though I really have no problem with downloading and installing Cygwin on every Windows machine I have, my question is how much does it honestly cost to make a CLI when things like fish are made by one guy and Microsoft's best is missing things bash had in the 90's.
Memory and accuracy in rendering. The reason that most of these cards have 1 gig+ is because of the need to display sometimes assemblies with 1000's to 10'000's of parts. A consumer grade simply does not have the memory in most cases to even to display at the resolution CAD operators work at which is often over common resolutions and goes into QXGA monitors which cost a pretty penny.
The cards are often the same GPUs you find in gaming cards with two important differences, drivers and chip quality. These are the best of the best that come out of the fab plant and even if they do have different hardware logic the real quality comes in the drivers. These drivers are made to specifications that have nothing to do with games and are more in line with quality, repeatability and robustness.
Cognitive theories are science, why don't they just borrow alot of the rigor of the psychology and neurocognitive disciplines and incorporate them into an engineering discipline? Artificial intelligence applications I would consider an actual engineering discipline. They require modeling behavior often of physical objects such as robots that require high standards of reliability and safety. As a mechatronic student we incorporate software engineering in the form of AI, vision and automation all the time and they are no less crucial in designing correctly than any of the electrical or mechanical parts.
I had an unlimited texting plan from when I used it for server messages at work. When I switched to my own plan with the same cell phone I just kept the unlimited texting thinking I would use it for something. I never did. The only texts I have on there are from 411 calls.
So the astronauts will be throwing used kleenex that can kill? How fast are these going to be going when they hit the ground? Are they going to incorporate a parachute?
Seriously why aren't your 911 calls routed to your emergency number? Are you using 911 for something else or is it just to be different? You could keep both you know.
I actually gave a presentation on a mmorpg NASA game at a class I had in college last year. The class was run by professors from the Oregon space initiative which is sponsored by NASA. I wonder if they passed the information along. I should dig out my work on it and submit it as a proposal.
It is not just that they are chopping whole mountains off it is that there are 1000's Coal Fires in mines underground that are adding anything from 1-5% of the worlds Co2.
Average price right now for a Wii is Almost 500 dollars, I live in a small town and there were 40 people waiting for 5 Wii at Gamestop yesterday. I have never seen anything like this for a game console. Half of the people waiting were over 60.
Get an AP point with 802.1n or download firmware that allows you to use channels 12-13-14 of the 2.4ghz spectrum. I have been using channel 14 for 3 years with virtually no disconnects.
Or the fact that all windows os virtually lock up the computer when you are accessing any optical drive. I have a 4 gig dual amd 3800 and it still pauses a bit when I burn a DVD in Vista and XP 64 bit. Did not have the problem 8 years ago on my first Mandrake install and certainly do not have the problem on the latest Debian install. Why does the ATAPI driver suck so bad in windows?
As a long time resident of Oregon the reason no one speeds is because it is dangerous. At any point in time during 6-8 months of the year it will be raining, snowing, fog and snow or ice on the road. This is nothing like the northeast, midwest or socal where bad weather is sporadic, in Oregon it is native. Everything east of the Cascades is pretty much a rainforest.
In Klamath Falls where I live currently there are dozens of deaths each winter from people speeding or drinking and driving on the 97 corridor. With no reflective markers in the middle of the road (because snow chains will pull them out) it is highly dangerous to even go 35 miles per hour on a 2 lane road in white out conditions but every year some tourist smashes themselves into a tractor trailer going well under the speed limit.
Some companies do not sign up for text messaging plans. Even if you have a sms capable phone if it does not have a text messaging plan it cannot receive messages.
I would love it if my ISP could just email me or text me to let me know of problems. With 90% of the cell phones out there capable of receiving texts and at least half capable of getting email it seems like the logical choice. Any ISP that dares to intrude on my web surfing will get the boot.
The biggest drain on my last 3 moves was books. Me and my girlfriend have 1000's of them. Books are not only made of trees but they are heavy objects that have to be transported. An ebook reader is a far more efficient way of transporting information.
My girlfriend has 6 bookcases just in her room. Our entire house's walls are covered in book shelves and we still have not moved the 1000's of books from her parents house. Yet, there is no way in hell she would ever use an ebook reader she is a purist. I myself have more ebooks than books now and find them useful just give us a device that works and I don't think kindle is it. I have books in at least 4 incompatible formats.
Do not listen to parent. It is stupid to use code without permission from the author if there is no license.
First off, there is the legal issues that can arise when you publish your web page. If said code is just floating in the nether of the web, you have NO IDEA who actually wrote the code. It could be copied many times over. You might end up with a fortune 500 company breathing down your neck. A lot of code used internally on the company's private Intraweb turns up on the internet.
Secondly, you do not know if this code is being used to troll for lawsuits. I can't reveal companies but a networking company I worked for got in this situation with a former developer who lured the company's lead developer to use code he had emailed him in a private email exchange a year after he left the company. 3 months later and they pulled all of the development computers in one feel swoop.
My suggestion is this. Tell the fuckwad that stole the code that you know. Use it to blackmail him. That is how business works.
They will make them when the average American hits 1000 lbs. I presume this will happen somewhere in Michigan. There will be a cup holder and a sausage dispenser.
The real people that should be charged over this are the people of California. How can they allow SWAT teams to be sent to anywhere without checks and balances?

I use it to listen to NPR and it works fine for me on Linux and Vista. 2 versions ago sucked though.

So does Oregon and most state's that don't have 100's of thousands of lawyers.

I enjoy living more.

How old are you? I am 30 and never had to do that when I played with them from the ages of 12-15.
