I think I saw a OLED display at Fry's the other day. The contrast for white/black was simply amazing. I didn't really check out if it was an OLED by whatever it was I wish I had it.
In a course in computer engineering, we once had to do group presentations and reports on some research topic of interest. We were a group of 3 so we divided the three reports with each person being the primary writer for one of the reports. I knew my teammates from other classes but imagine my surprise reading the report of one of them. I was just amazed at the quality of the report and his command of english given the limited experience that he had. But he didn't cite any quotes in the report for all the references that he used. So I decided to do a google search on a few key phrases so they could he properly cited. Then lo and behold I enter one phrase and the entire first 4 pages of the report are literal cut and paste from something on the internet. Overall on the 10+ page report maybe 90% was plagerized. I was freaked out a the possiblity of putting my name on the report as a team project. I tried to get him to understand that what he did was wrong but he didn't think it was a big deal. Eventually we did pressure him to rewrite it in his own words. I shudder at the thought of what he did for his master's thesis!
I was in India last year and broadband internet is there and it is cheaper than here(USA) taking it account relative cost of living and salary. And the three cities I stayed in were not exactly the biggest populated areas. The main issue is not many people have computers yet since they can still be expensive.
For a second I though they meant a "plant" as in one you water and fertilize. I kind of imagine a sunflower plant where the flower glows bright and gives of heat while you water and fertilize it every few days.
* There are no complex interrelations to the data. Not complex enough to normalize. Maybe just a bunch of key/attribute relationships.
* Many databases are client/server with a server always running in the background. Why run yet another service when you do something infrequently.
* The user interfaces to many databases are not user friendly. Spreadsheet allow for ease of entry without any coding. Many will auto-expand what you type with similar text above it. Many will provide pulldown menus to do basic queries.
I thought the 2600 had a line buffer. Basically a 40 or 80 bit shift register into which the pixels are written and then they are written to the video screen. This is my recollection from a presentation that the creator of the 2600 (the same guy who did the Amiga I think) had on the hardware internals.
Okay this is kind of off topic but anyway... My impression of STTNG was that it was pretty modern but then recently started watching it more frequently ever since getting a Tivo. I then realize that the first episode of STTNG came around 16 years ago! I look at many of the early episodes and it just looks so odd. There are people with afro hair cuts and women in short-short skirts like in The Original Star Trek. Geordi is not even the chief engineer... there are all these "nobodys" in engineering. The comm signal is the whistling note from the original. The computer special effects are still primitive since computers are still not prominent. It just looks so out of place compare to the more recent episodes that we see more often. Anyone get the same impression?
I just realized you wanted non-windows development environment. Since this board is a x86 with a DOS like shell, you can use any 16-bit x86 cross compilers for Linux.
JK Microsystems has a 80186 board for only $69. It has 1 MB of memory and a DOS like shell. They even give you a full Borland C compiler. Pretty good deal.

FC2 will work with nforce chipsets and geforce video cards with possible exception of the nforce ethernet (but I use a separate ethernet card anyway.) For maximum 3d performance in games you need to use the nvidia drivers for the video card. If games are not your concern then you don't have to install any proprietary stuff.
Adam and I are from the same graduating class from highschool. We kind of knew each other but didn't really hang out or anything. It kind of pisses me off that his job is to play around with video games.
That looks like the only surefire solution right now. A recent newspaper article in San Francisco talked about excessive spending in city government. A security guard at the county hospital got $202K in wages after overtime. Basically to sit around a kick a few bums back into the street. And there is nothing illegal in what this guy did and the city gov't doesn't expect it to change. In another case, a coin machine technician gets paid $88K in wages yet goes and steals from the coin boxes. When he is caught, he is put on paid leave while they 'investigate'.
Many of these jobs are better paying than programmer jobs plus they will never be outsourced. We just need to get a law passed to more of us can join the gravy train.

No. Microsoft only has a patent on "a mobile computing device with 640 KB capacity that should be enough for everybody"
Should be changed to Persondrake to be politically correct.
Autotrace is a program that converts bitmaps to vector drawings: http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/
Imgseek classifies bitmap images based on similarity . http://imgseek.sourceforge.net/
Both would be awesome if converted into libraries used by other programs.

Those with a separate fan are probably unboxed and thus considered OEM parts. The warrenty on those are much more limited from my recollection.

"What would the impact be if someone were refused flight who had a medical emergency and ended up dieing one wonders."
The impact would depend on if it is an election year or not and whether that someone is rich or famous.
The question is will you pay for shipping?
Here are some reasons people use a spreadsheet:
* There are no complex interrelations to the data. Not complex enough to normalize. Maybe just a bunch of key/attribute relationships.
* Many databases are client/server with a server always running in the background. Why run yet another service when you do something infrequently.
* The user interfaces to many databases are not user friendly. Spreadsheet allow for ease of entry without any coding. Many will auto-expand what you type with similar text above it. Many will provide pulldown menus to do basic queries.

"Putting SEXUALLY EXPLICIT in the title only makes it more annoying when you open your email."
Assuming spammers do actually follow this requirement, you could simply set a filter to send those emails to the trash.

Look at CmdrTaco's contribution to this posting:
"prostoalex writes"
That is the extent of what he wrote.
Will somebody think of the children!?
