Okay, maybe I just can't see it... is there a link ANYWHERE on that page to the actual problem descriptions?
The problems sound really interesting, but it's very frustrating not having an actual statement of them on that discussion page! Please post a link if there is one.
I think's java's concept of anonymous inner classes is simply superb... it enables runtime aggregation of small objects while preventing you from having to create hundreds of named external helper classes to implement the behavior.
It's certainly not an unknown feature, but I couldn't live without it.
I use an LCD projector for my TV, and occasionally for computer stuff. I surf the web on a 100"-diagonal screen.
Since I stopped keeping a TV in my room when I bought this setup, I immediately wanted picture in picture while I was web browsing, so that I could watch TV at the same time. Voila... TV tuner card fit the bill perfectly.
I don't think the problem was his acting... I think it was his director's directing. The director(s?) couldn't possibly let him play Kirk the way he did, unless that was how they wanted things to come out.
I can't speak for the desktop version of their software (I only use the Palm edition), but I've been very happy with Agendus by Iambic. It remedies many of the issues you raise.
They have full versions of their software for both Palm and Windows.
FYI, the continuum hypothesis is neither true nor false (or BOTH true and false, depending on how you think about it:).
It is independent of the rest of set theory... much like Euclid's parallel postulate is to geometry. You can assume it's true, or assume it's false, and you get different versions of set theory in the end. Similar to the existence of both euclidean and non-euclidean geometries.
Many people don't realize that there are multiple versions of something as fundamental to mathematics as set theory! Check out the Axiom of Choice for another example of something that's neither true nor false in set theory.
My favorite proof involving cardinality and set theory is the proof that there are the same number of integers as fractions... so simple that a school kid can understand every step, yet so profound a conclusion!
Counter-intuitively, calling from the US to the UK is considerably cheaper than calling from the UK to the US. So much so, that many companies offer call-back services as a calling card system: you dial a US number, let it ring twice then hang up. The system then dials you BACK from the US, and when you answer, you're then into the system. That is, you hit an access code or pin or whatever, then the phone number you wanna dial, as if you had dialed them.
"What happens if an employer were to prescreen employees based on political leanings?" Well, it is illegal to screen like that.
That's not illegal in most states, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's not illegal in any state. You can discriminate or fire someone (in most states) for any reason that isn't EXPLICITLY outlawed. And at the federal level, the only prohibited reasons are race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age over 40, and disability.
If you're organizing CD-shaped game media, by all means please check out my cd dividers: DiscDividers... tabbed plastic divider cards for CDs, they work with jewel cases as well as sleeves.
Anybody able to discern useful details? Does it work by detecting latent muons in the Pyramid, that spontaneously "activate" and get knocked out? Or does it measure the muons that make it THROUGH the pyramid at that moment (from space), and determine from that the density of the material (since solid rock will absorb more muons than alternating rock and air-filled chambers).
It's funny... for all the silly crap the nutzo's are claiming to see in Mars images, hardly anything has been made of the unidentified flying object in this image (large streak near the bottom). That's a 15-second exposure of part of the early morning Martian sky, a segment of a panorama series designed to also grab the Earth... the streak is likely one of the 30-some or so defunct and/or lost spacecraft that may be orbiting Mars right now.
A word of warning: do NOT set your wake-up light too bright! I tried that, and literally woke up in pain... my main bedroom light is one of those high-wattage halogen floor lamps. The first time I tried the X10 technique, I naively set the light to come on at full blast.
It literally physically HURT. I distinctly remember waking up suddenly -- I shut my eyes hard immediately, but it was still so bright (relative to my previously-pitch-black room) THROUGH MY EYELIDS that my eyes were stinging. I immediately covered my eyes, then finally slipped under the blanket and slowly adjusted.
Granted, this was extreme... I have a very effective black-out curtain for my room, so it went from dead-dark to bright as day. But just thought I'd warn; it was an experience I'd never want to repeat.

Umm, I can't POSSIBLY be the only one who read it that way at first glance...?
A cool hack would be controlling your iPod via a $10 universal remote from Walmart.
Ask and ye shall receive: an IR remote for the iPod, whose commands any old learning remote can memorize.
Welcome...... to the real... world.

That said, I'm not up on the latest rates.
Slashdot covered this just over two weeks ago.
Would you ever spend $650-700 on a laptop? Why?
I'll answer that myself: you'll spend that money if it increases your productivity enough to justify the investment.
The same goes for an expensive PDA like that. For some, they really make use of it, and they really will/do get $650-700 of value out of it.
just insecure, slow, and not trustworthy.

So that's how they managed to clean that up...

You must be new here.
TV Guide has reasonably good episode guides for most shows, all in one place. Check out:
http://www.tvguide.com/tv/showguide/
When you click on a show, there are links in the left sidebar to each season, which then contains summaries of every episode.

This may be a stupid question, but...
How long will it take to cool down far enough that it's no longer emitting enough radiation (of whatever sort) for us to even see it?
Is anyone proposing such a mechanism as an explanation of the dark matter issue?
Oh come on... somebody with moderator points give this guy his deserved "one more"!
That's absurd... you can't fix a leak in a space station using duct tape.
Such a job clearly requires silly putty.

No. God just likes to screw with us.
NO... God just likes to *fuck* with us.
