so much for red. according to the status board sandstorm went 7 miles (the furthest at the time of this posting) and became the second to be disabled (8:38am PST). so it sounds like it was the fastest one out there... until it died...
it's so disappointing that only 4 teams remain and no one has even reached 10 miles yet...
anyone know what time the race ACTUALLY started? it's pretty sad to think they've been at it for 3.5 hours and two teams (SciAutonics and TerraMax) are still on their 1st mile...
personally i'm rooting for Golem 'cause they have the best name:/
see for yourself: perl -e "print 'Windows' gt 'Linux'"
on the other hand running this on windows usually results with: 'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
what would be the best way to prevent catastrophe, it would be to PREVENT CHANGES TO THE SPEC
I totally agree with you on principle, but this is unfortunately not realistic in the software business world. it should be realistic, but it won't be until we undo the damage of the last 2 decades of software development mentality in the average software corporation.
i mean, christ, i've worked on projects that had no specs!!! "gotta get this thing out there door, no time for full feature specs" - i've been told more than once.
lets face it. the majority of software development organizations have understaffed and undertrained or non-existant QA departments. i know that in almost every company i've worked for QA had to resign to doing "the best they could under the circumstances" which usually meant schedules derived from developer swags with a "couple of weeks" thrown in for QA, not detailed QA swags. in one company, when the QA manager refused to ship a broken product he was fired...
that's not to say a programmer should hand off broken code into QA (unit testing is often spoke of but too rarely implemented) but companies really underestimate the value of good QA. and it's not just a matter of numbers (x QA per y developers), it's the quality of quality assuarance people and process as well...
I realize you didn't know you had bootlegs (from your other post), but I'm curious as to how you could have believed that a legit 7 disc DVD collection would sell for $32
4 disc, actually, but I understand what you mean. I guess I was just psyched and figured they must not be well enough appreciated or something. Like I said elsewhere: monumentally naive...
I had to re-purchase Spirited Away, as all of my DVDs were stolen, and I bought the 2-disc US version, not wanting to shell out another $50, and actually I can't remember anything being on the Japanese release (also 2-disc) that's not on the US one.
That's true for Spirited Away, I guess (although if I remember correctly, the Disney version has that horrible collection of "coming soons" and other ads when you first load the disc that all their releases pain me with) but definitely not for Totoro. It was great to watch Totoro in the original japanese, finally. Most importantly that song in the end is horrible in English:)
I work at a technical college and see numerous students with headphones on (I don't believe I have seen earbuds recently). I see absolutely no reason for people to be listening to music while in any sort of educational institution.
How fascist of you.
All of those who have worn headphones at the office without actually listening to anything raise your hand! [/me raises hand].
It's a great way to get people to leave you alone when you're busy trying to concentrate; something that's very important in the modern office which often lacks even cubicles.
Subconsciously or not, I sometimes put my headphones on, fully meaning to hit play on the playlist of the day but something takes my attention away and three hours later I'm still coding with winamp in stopped mode. But nevertheless, those were 3 uninterrupted hours.
yeeech. i feel so violated, so monumentally naive now. i honestly didn't think these were bootlegs:(
for what it's worth tho, the 4 disc "collection" i have has non of the technical problems mentioned on the bootleg page you point to (although the menus _are a weird hodge podge_). i've watched all seven films and the quality is excellent with no ghosting or blanking out.
but yeah, if i'm not serving time in prison for owning this set by then, i'll pick up the official releases...
Miyazaki is just one of the founding members of Studio Ghibli. He's become somewhat of an icon here in the U.S. and as such is attributed as the creator of all Ghibli films.
Miyazaki is definitely the driving creative force at Ghibli but it's important to give credit to Takahata. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most powerful animated films ever made.
I have the 4 disk 7 film (Laputa, Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Porco-Rossi, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away) all region Studio Ghibli limited edition collection. It's very high quality and it's all widescreen. The dubbing is quite decent (for e.g. Princess Mononoke uses the U.S. theatrical dubbing which was quite good) but more importantly all the movies have the japanese versions as well (unlike the Disney releases). And the subtitles are actually quite good.
There's also the 6 disk, 12 movie collection which adds Nausicaa, Only Yesterday, Whisper of the Heart, Pompoko, Ocean Waves, and On Your Mark, but doesn't include Spirited Away (this is a newer collection and my guess is the omission of this film from the collection is due to Disney...) Although I can't speak of it's quality I can't imagine it being anything but as good as the 4 disk one.
You can get these collection on eBay. Just search on Ghibli. But you'll end up buying them from distributors like this anyway (they heave the 7 and 12 film collections).
I'd seriously considering grabbing the 7 movie version just to have a non-Disney version of Spirited Away.
These have to be the most imaginative, creative, and beautiful films ever made. The power of animation taken to full advantage (imagine a live version of Totoro? ugh, i just got a bad premonition...)
I can't recommend each and every one of these films enough for anyone with a shred of imagination.
well, the way at&t is doing it definitely sucks (i guess i'm glad i switched to Sprint last year when LNP kicked in but i'm about to be meta-hypocritical). but their reason for forcing these changes is a good one: standardization, something the cel phone industry has been terrible at (at least in the U.S.).
i think the parent post by AC was suggesting (between the lines) that this would work only if all data on everyone was released or easily available. obviously an idealistic but unrealistic view but were it otherwise, it would indeed be a good thing... in a communist sort of way:)
Europe and Japan have loads of protectionist and laws and they seem to have healthy economies.
Japan's economy has been walking on a razor edge since the early 90s. one small shake up and the dominoes there are going to fall. they're still recovering from 1997 which.
as for europe, do you mean the EU? be more specific, it's a pretty big and diverse place.
unfortunately this breaks virtual domains as reverse ip can only point to one domain.
i run approx 30 virtual domains on my mail server (single ip).
granted one could just use the base domain for the mail server, but if some of those domains are businesses, they may want to have their business domain in the headers (vanity).

how long was this obstacle course? i'm guessing less than a mile? >:)
THANK THE LORD! Maybe we should start an HDIX to measure the country's economy...

Get a clue before you use this word incorrectly again.

the poster i was replying to was saying that there's no place for headphones in an educational setting, but i say it's none of his goddamn business.
He's absolutely correct, you should be LEARNING at a college not listening to music.
who says you're not learning while you're listening to music???
i'm guessing i just got trolled...

thanks for the wake up call.
Grave of the Fireflies was directed by Isao Takahata who also did Pom Poko, Yamada and Only Yesterday for Ghibli.
Miyazaki is definitely the driving creative force at Ghibli but it's important to give credit to Takahata. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most powerful animated films ever made.

the world's gone mad. now Xerox is going to sue someone for copying something?

mod: -2 stupidest post ever
oh man, i get it now.
so you take the ip. reverse it. then take the domain and resolve it and compare the ips?
sorry, i thought you meant the other way around: get a domain, resolve it, reverse ip, compare domain names.
i get it now, but the virtual domains scenario is still busted.
i'm sorry, but that doesn't hold a handle to this kb headline
so are you talking about the HELO? the received headers? where does the domain name come from upon connection?
unfortunately this breaks virtual domains as reverse ip can only point to one domain.
i run approx 30 virtual domains on my mail server (single ip).
granted one could just use the base domain for the mail server, but if some of those domains are businesses, they may want to have their business domain in the headers (vanity).
sheesh, shouldn't this entire thread be mod'ed down as Off-Topic?
...
:/
i had to page in 3 pages before i got to a discussion about the issue @ hand.
now i guess i'll wait to see *this* post get modded down as offtopic (what irony) or a troll
