That would probably be because the "blue book" price is supposed to be for a vehicle in perfect condition, with no problems, and sold by a dealer. Like comic books and collectibles, the actual price is factored down based on condition.
He says he "hasn't gotten around" to memtesting his RAM yet.
But if he did that, he'd lose his uptime!
Sounds like we need a Linux kernel module that does memtest86 type stuff during idle time, looking for RAM pages with hard errors. Or at least a checksum/ECC for the disk cache pages that can be checked during idle time. Once a bad page is found, the kernel can then lock it out.
it will take 10 years to permission to begin the EIS. then another 10 years minimum to finish that and be ready to start construction.
That's okay, Harry Reid just needs five months so that he can get re-elected by saying "Look at this delicious pork I brought you! Mmm, bacon!" After that he couldn't care less what happens to it.
Actually, living too close to the transmitter can be a problem because ATSC is vulnerable to multipath reflections (aka "ghosting"), especially with older generation tuners. Proper aiming of your antenna is essential, and if it's outdoors, wind can knock it out of alignment over a few months. A signal attenuator may even help with your reception.
However, channels 2-6 (low VHF) tend to be really bad for ATSC for other interference reasons too, and most stations have abandoned them with their final assignments. There's one in the next market area over, just at the edge of reception with a good antenna, that went from channel 2 to 5 that I can sometimes receive, but I couldn't even get a barely watchable picture back when it was still analog.
The first episode I watched was the finale episode of season 1. I could tell right away that they were too busy making plot twists to ever finish untangling them, and I would only occasionally watch an episode if I channel-surfed across it. None of what I watched afterward refuted my initial assessment.
So your answer is "no". Don't waste your time unless you enjoy characters being randomly yanked with for the amusement value of the yanking around. And there are better shows for that. That's the only reason I watch Legend of the Seeker, and Sam Raimi is awesome at making that kind of campy stuff. (Also Bruce Spence is awesome in it too.)
I had a Mac with a Levco 2 meg RAM upgrade in '87 or so, and I broke a lot of protections because I ran 1.5 meg of that as a ramdisk (nothing really needed more than 512K at the time), and I liked to keep that thing running as long as possible, with a debugger loaded too, of course. Copy protection code fucked over enough of the system that I would have to reboot from the startup floppy... if a game didn't lock up on startup.
Usually breaking the copy protection was more fun than the game itself.
Cool story bro. The problem is, this bug didn't start today, that's just when you heard about it. I heard about it yesterday when it was still February 28 in much of the world. (However by that time it was indeed February 29 in Japan... hmm...)
For what it's worth, pre-TMSS consoles are not very common in the US. This was added even before the rear comm port was removed.
The trademark was included in the code, not shown. The trademark display was a Dreamcast thing and came dramatically later. Go read up on SvA on Wikipedia please.
Didn't the original Gameboy require the Nintendo logo to be in the cartridge? If you turned it on without a cartridge, a black rectangle would scroll up the screen instead of the logo.
Why should there be any sort of requirement to compile a program on the same device that you run it on? It's standard with embedded development to use a bigger computer for compiling, etc. You don't hear people whining that they can't run GCC on some tiny Linux-based router with 16 MB of RAM, do you? Or that it somehow makes the device less "open"?
If you're going to whine, at least whine about the right thing. You will presumably need an iPhone dev kit to allow it to run your code, which (as I hear) allows downloading to a maximum of ten different devices. And anyone else who wants to run your open source code will also need a dev kit.
* This is based on a Linux kernel module, so NO SLIM already, okay?
* All it does is poke a hole in the hypervisor allowing memory access. This means it's not going to give you homebrew quite yet, but it's going to make it possible for people to start exploring and tinkering further.
* It requires hardware that generates a 40ns pulse on some point on some version of the board. Apparently it introduces a hardware glitch that allows the hole to be opened. And it doesn't persist after a reboot.
* The top level of security in the PS3 is in that one reserved SPU. Apparently it is given the root key during startup, holds all the other keys, and is responsible for decrypting and checking everything. But it's going to be very hard to get into.
* Now that it's possible to get into the hypervisor, people can start poking at that SPU. But Sony's security model was supposed to include the possibility of the hypervisor being compromised in just this way.
When people talk about a "remote" exploit, they usually mean "remotely exploiting a box that's sitting there minding its own business", which is a form of exploit that Windows has had particular problems with. A web exploit still requires a local user to make it happen.
I can't tell whether you're being ineptly sarcastic or really that stupid. The main purpose of robots.txt is to keep web spiders (aka "robots") from getting stuck in a tarpit of script-generated pages which are not only redundant but waste resources of the website, possibly bringing it to its knees. For instance, something like a button that says "full view" that shows the same page with more fancy formatting.
What it's not for is hiding stuff from view, because anybody can look at your robots.txt file and see that you have a/secret/ path in your web site. Yes, this actually happens, and people actually do find the secret information and have fun scattering it across the internets.
What exactly do you mean by "elided from history"? I brought them both up, turned off the CSS (Google's version is broken), and tab-flipped betwen them. Not only is the page still there, it has all the same posts as the Google cache version, with small differences such as tags switching around, number of posts by users, and another stupid Blackpool adlink. Maybe you found some messages missing and then Google later re-cached it, but the thread itself is certainly not missing.
The "same features"? You mean like ASICs that forward the data with low latency once the route is established? Yep, Linux is going to somehow magically add those to your computer, and that's one of the reasons people pay the extra money for Cisco over some old P3 tower PC and a CD-ROM with a penguin on it. Another is that they fit nicely in a rack.
The submitter apparently has his own unique idea of what "ISP class" means. Admittedly, this is for a wireless network, so there is already a bit of latency expected and maybe not as much total bandwidth as a wired ISP, but you can never remove latency, only add less. And as you have pointed out, "ISP class" should include things like metrics and controls for users.
I was in a shop recently that sold laptops of many different brands. All of them, except Lenovo, had the CTRL key as the first key in the row, with the Fn key to the right of it.
I hate to break it to you, but Lenovo isn't the only one to do this. Apple does it too. But I do recall that whey they first came up with that layout (back in the G3 days?), I didn't like it much.
The TRS-80 actually did that. It was easier to decode the keyboard if the shift keys corresponded to ASCII, so the parentheses were on shift-8 and shift-9. The @ symbol mapped better with the letters, and shift-@ (which was used for a pause function) generated 0x60 (the code for a backquote).
And it's been a standard feature in OS X since 10.4, along with swapping the ALT and Winders keys when using a PC keyboard. (This makes a Model M usable on a Mac.)

So the US analogy would be if Oklahoma was the most important swing state, and politicians were doing all they could to make people in Tulsa happy?
Oh no, someone on the internet is wrong... maybe!
You really thought that someone who understands how multipath is a problem with ATSC might not understand virtual channels? Geez.
Yes it's on 5, and its PSIP is 2.

So you're saying Jeannie lived in a four-dimensional Klein Bottle?

And a Free McBoot memory card with HD Loader on it? Feels good, man.

. . . which still doesn't help those of us who need prescription glasses to see more than two feet away clearly.

That's nice. Now explain how it matters with a laptop keyboard that you can't plug into a KVM.

Yeah, it's too bad there isn't some way to make solid state memory that gets its data all at once as part of the manufacturing process.
