You may or may not be able to install a fresh copy of Windows 7 using the upgrade discs (which just ended the half-off preorder promotion). This article (Jun 25) says you can, while thesetwo (July 10 and July 13, respectively) say you cannot. What do the 3 articles have in common? No sources besides, "I've been asking a spokesman for the company about this for about a month, and he's finally been able to offer an answer." (the July 13 one). While I haven't really given anything substantial, I'm hoping somebody else out there will see this and can clear it up.
The world won't end in 2038. It will just jump back in time to 1901 and cycle like that until someone manages to open a shuttle bay door instead of using a tractor beam.
Anyone can use it yes, but it's not trivial to program. I commend Logitech at making an effective interface for grouping and combining devices into activities. It's a far cry, however, from 1. Press TV/VCR/DVD; 2. Hold Setup; and 3. Enter 4-digit code.
How about distributing them encrypted over the course of days or weeks, and then releasing a decryption key (pretty minuscule by comparison) once distribution volumes are sufficiently high?
Well Joe can release whatever Java interpreter he wants, there's no guarantee that anyone's going to use it. You could have 500 different forks of the Java code (license permitting), but unless they provide some huge advantage and become mainstream (see egcs/gcc, which turned out to be a good thing from what I've heard), the conformant Java interpreters/compilers/runtimes are going to remain the de facto ones to use. And Joe can sit there and run his modified version of the Java platform all he wants, while everyone else happily sticks to the comformant platforms.

You really need to have hardware acceleration enabled to use composite effectively. I've found that with the NVIDIA binary drivers, and RenderAccel enabled, it feels much, much smoother than without the composite manager running. If you have an NVIDIA card, you can do this in your video device section:
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Then run "xcompmgr -c" on the active $DISPLAY while X is running (unless your window manager du jour has built-in composite support) and you're ready to go.
With respect to the tiles, if they're moving, then yes you do. It depends on your reference point. To simulate momentum, the tiles would continue to move, but slow down as your next step pushes on them, or as you shift your centre of gravity backwards tocompensate for your "faked" forward momentum.
Let's say these tiles were blazingly fast and accurate, and you ran steadily in one direction and they were able to keep up. If you suddenly came to a stop, the tiles would continue to move from front to back to simulate momentum. If you didn't push the soles of your feet against their direction of movement, the tiles would continue to slip under your feet and you would fall over (much like you would fall over if you stopped all of a sudden, and didn't shift your weight backwards).
(Samsung, I believe) is to flip have the rubber drive band so that it causes the spindle to spin backwards.
You misinterpreted. According to this, the rubber band you have to swap (and the motor you have to turn around) affects the eject function, not the spindle that rotates the disc:
Also the little belt (rubber band looking thing) will probably fall off when you remove the motor. Do not forget to put this back on (I did and couldn't figure out for an hour why this darn thing wouldn't eject!). (emphasis mine)
But on the other end as a caller, I've found it helpful to announce myself at the beginning of the call, instead of having them ask me for my name.
Yeeearrgh. This drives me crazy. When you receive a wrong number call and the person says, "Well who's this?" I automatically respond with "Who's calling please". I usually get this from disgruntled cell-phone users who are near the US/Canadian border and they dial a local call, and pick up a cell station in the other country. They tell me the number they dialed, then I tell them my area code, and they're much more pleasant after finding out the phone system is at fault.
In any case, there are a lot of people out there who need to learn some phone etiquette.
Are you sure about that? Can you back that up with references that don't refer to:
- Superconductors (which exhibit this behavior) - A/C skinning effect (which still doesn't flow on the surface of the wire)
As far as I knew, electric current flows through the wire, and electrons collide with one another and spin from atom to atom to reach the positive end. If current flows outside the wire in both regular wires and superconducting wires, where does the resistance come from? (I know I beg the question of whether or not current flows on the outside of a superconducting wire, but I figured this was a well-known fact).
OMG, assuming it was all on one disk and was possible to access linearly, each cluster (all 65536 of them maybe), and thus each 0-byte file, would be about 7.8 gigs!
No, that's not $125K per week - that's per episode. Each episode takes approximately 6 months to make, so that's $250K per year - that's not a whole lot for TV stars...
Yeah you're probably right. I remember back in 1847 when they started making episodes of the Simpsons (~313 episodes). Matt Groening is quite a prophet... and $250K per year was a lot of money back then.

I wonder if you had known about the accident before the process finished if you could have recovered it by checking open file handles in /proc:
~$ while true; do echo -n 1; sleep 1; done > tmp.txt & /proc/11336/fd/ | grep tmp\.txt /home/me/tmp.txt (deleted)
~$ rm tmp.txt
~$ ls -l
l-wx------ 1 me me 64 2009-12-02 16:51 1 ->
Is there any way to recover this?

when you're setting up your own filesystems, however... just use ntfs-3g and fs-driver. problems solved. just don't forget to use mke2fs -I 128
What's the reason for 128-byte ext2 inodes and what does it have to do with ntfs-3g? I googled but couldn't find anything (in english). Thanks.

I did, but because of my DRM, no one can hear it.
