Dans ce pay-ci, il est bon de tuer de temps en temps un amiral pour encourager les autres.--Voltaire
"In this country, it is a good idea to kill an admiral from time to time, so as to encourage the others."
In 1756, Admiral Byng was ordered to prevent the French from taking Minorca. He was supplied with a fleet of thirteen ships that were both ill equipped and undermanned. To make room for the soldiers he was to receive from the Gibraltar garrison, his marines were reassigned to other squadrons.
In Gibraltar, when he requested the reinforcements, Byng was rebuffed, as the local governor feared a French attack on his city.
The admiral sailed on to Minorca-- but his initial engagement with the French fleet proved disastrous. The relative positions of the French and British fleets made the standard "Fighting Instructions" ineffective-- the leading ships of Byng's line engaged the French fleet unsupported, and as a result, were quickly dispatched. Byng refused to break up his line, and shortly thereafter. was forced to withdraw, as his remaining forces could not possibly relieve the siege, even in the absence of a French fleet. He sailed for Gibraltar, and Minorca was taken. Byng was arrested, court martialed, and shot, as he had failed to do his duty.
"Pour encourager les autres" is a rationale for exceptionally harsh punishment. If IBM were to sue SCO for patent infringement, receive the remainder of SCOs assets in a settlement, and then symbolically burn SCO to the ground, such actions could be construed as "Pour encourager les autres,"
The Apple IIGS had two popular graphics modes-- the 16 color 320x200 mode, and the 4 color 640x200 mode.
The 16 color limit prevented Apple IIGS users from enjoying the beautiful custom amiga ports of games-- instead, we got handmedown EGA graphics-- compare the Amiga port of Pirates! with the IIGS port.
The 640x200 commonly used dithering to simulate more colors-- it was pretty ghastly. Most word processors used this mode, but the rectangular pixels made WYSIWYG next to impossible.
The GS had excellent sound hardware, but many IIGSs used floppies-- and so lacked the disk space to take full advantage of the ensoniq.
Sure-- it was a step up from the Apple//e, but it wasn't extraordinary
Might as well post a link to some handy denver boot removal advice. Some boots are so poorly constructed that a hammer and chisel can dislodge the various spot welds.
Here's the Economist's Big Mac index, which compares the price of a Big Mac in various countries, in an attempt to discover which currencies were overvalued.
It costs the equivalent of $US 3.37 to purchase the hamburger in Britain, but only $US2.27 in Australia. The US price was $US 2.90.
And it's not just our benchmark results that support this view: the majority of Tweakers.net readers who at one time or another tried striping, feel that the overall responsiveness of their computer improved when employing RAID 0.
Of course they do. After all, they've spent extra money and time pimping out their rigs.
Record Stores are not so interested in stocking two formats for each title. With a hybrid disc-- the store can stock a single title, and theoretically satisfy both the low end (CD) and high-end (DVD-Audio) consumer. However, some CD players are not as tolerant of thick discs as DVD players are. After, all, there is no equivalent to the DVD-9/DVD-18 flipper format in the CDDA standard. If double-sided discs are to supplant ordinary CDs, then they must be at least physically compatible with all existing players.
Among other things, the patents cover the specialized manufacturing techniques involved in making thin double-sided discs.
Because despite what he says in his blog FM radio is _not_ covered by what Disney asking for.
Maybe the comments refer to FM digital radio. Maybe the comments refer to broadcast radio in general. It's rather broad language. In any case, the FCC can theoretically force a transition to digital radio, similar to the movement from the old analogue NTSC to the newer, digital ATSC. Presto! Analogue Hole closed.
RIMMER: How many of those are you going to drink? LISTER: I told you not to talk. Game on. RIMMER: You're going to drink an entire six-pack of wicked-strength
lager? LISTER: I'm not gonna get plastered, Rimmer, just... just nicely drunk. RIMMER: Define "nicely drunk." Is "nicely drunk" horizontal or perpendicular? LISTER: Rimmer, I can handle it. KRYTEN: I'm not sure I can. LISTER: We're in the wrong position. It's an easier shot if we go over here. (He moves into the "better" position and lines up the shot.) RIMMER: But that's right in the orbital path of the planet! If you miss, we're going to get a planet in the face. LISTER: I'm not gonna mish. RIMMER: "Mish?" LISTER: What? RIMMER: You said "mish." "I'm not gonna mish," you said. You've only had two cans and you're steaming! LISTER: Rimmer, will you relax? I know what I'm doing! I am not pished!
I wonder what my neighbors drove before Hummer came in and met all that customer demand. Oh. Right. They didn't drive at all, as no vehicle met their needs.
The hybrid pickups feature GM's powerful 5300 Vortec V-8 and Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission, coupled with a new hybrid technology that delivers 10 to 12 percent improved fuel economy over GM half-ton pickups, giving the hybrid Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra the best highway fuel economy of any full-size truck on the market.
In other words, it gets 16.5-19.8 mpg. I'm so very impressed at the environmentalists running GM.
Yeah. In the Pertwee episode "Frontier in Space", the Master instigates a war between the Human and Draconian Empires, so that the Daleks might take advantage of the chaos.
There's also the Five Doctors, which featured a mishmash of historical adversaries, including the Master, a cyberman, a dalek, a yeti...
Perhaps I'm only betraying my lack of experience with the PCC games market (I use a mac), but $54.99 is on the high end for a computer game. Maybe it's "relatively low" compared to console games.
Yes. It was a bit more reliable. It was also noise free, thanks to daily gift packs of 10-- not 5, but 10-- moderation points. Ah, those were the days...
You might be able to poke around on the slashcode development site, but it might be piece of broken hardware-- say a misbehaving load balancer? (The crudest solution to the problem might be to carve up salshdot into more subdomains-- complete with their own garish colour schemes-- e.g. it.slashdot.org,..)

His name would be John Kohn if they hadn't changed their name to Kerry when the immigrated to the U.S. in 1902.
Most parents choose a more mellifluous combination of names for their children. Perhaps "William Kohn". Perhaps "Jonathan Kohn". Not "John Kohn"
The "recent" BoA securities study is 9 months old. It predicts a stock price of $21. The current stock price is $30.
Since the study was published, Apple stock has risen 9 bucks.
Steve Job was not diagnosed with terminal cancer-- in fact, the surgery was successful enough that chemotherapy and radiation will be unnecessary.
Apple reported a profit of $61 million last quarter.

Presumably, those crates were approved by the attorney general's office.
Breakout was an Apple II game, not a Mac game.

It seems that some XM Radios can be fitterd with the usual miniplug to RCA adaptor.

Ah, customer demand...

With a 2.66 GHz Celeron-D and a generic "3-D graphics card from ATI Technologies", framerates might well suffer.
There are thousands of people with 4 digit uids.
My pbs station (maryland public television) showed "Frontier in Space" last week, albeit in that coveted 12mid-3am timeslot.

He's invested nothing. If he walks away and the kid dies, he loses a few minutes of time and milligrams of protein.
Discarding courtship? Interesting reproductive strategy. Have you had much success with it?
If the male sticks around, there's a higher chance that he'll support his mate through her pregnancy...
Better living through sociobiology.

You forgot to convert the plots to ASCII art. In addition your method may prove less tan useful with papers containing mathematical equations.
At least Intel and AMD submit their results to SPEC...
