You're almost right, except that you need an editor.
Compiler, Linker, Editor. That's the classic programming model
(trust me, a full-featured editor with regexps is a godsend.)
You can get versions of vim or emacs for Win32.Try one. Anyway...
Truly I see no reason for all these fancy IDE's except they put the tools you'd need to save time right there for you.
Hmmm, a software package designed to give you useful tools to save time? Yeah, I don't see the point of that either. Huh?
What if you spoof your location so that it appears that your phantom aircraft is on a collision course with a real aircraft? One could imagine causing potentially serious disruptions that way.
GPS was designed primarily for the US military and is comtrolled my them. It was true up until a few months ago that GPS signals were deliberately "scambled" so that commercial receivers lere limited in their accuracy (usually to about 100 meters). This was intended among other things to prevent the "terrorist" from making a "poor man's cruise missile" using a Cessna, a GPS, and an autopilot. However the scrambling was recently disabled on order from President Clinton (though he reserves the right to re-enable it in an emergency). Commercial GPS receivers today can have an accuracy of 1-5 meters.
Using GPS for air traffic control would only be a good idea if the US military can guarantee that they will not tamper with the signals in any way.
Thanks for breaking my browser with your arbitrarily-long unbroken word. Now I have to set my theshold to 4 to get the page to fit on my 21" monitor again. Jerk.
you may not (decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, rent, lease, loan, sublicense, distribute or create)
derivative works based upon the:CRQ software
Whereas the intention, and what would hold up in court, is (see, lawyers like compound verbs):
you may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, rent, lease, loan, sublicense, distribute or (create
derivative works based upon) the:CRQ software.
So, you may not decompile the:CRQ software, reverse engineer the:CRQ software, etc.
Then you should have no problem with this. The RIAA doesn't want you to take it's stuff. In an anarchy, they're
practicly EXPECTED to do stuff like this.
Not by abuse of government! An anarchy doesn't have a police force you can sic on the kid. It also doesn't have laws that are bought by the corporations.
BTW, am I the only one who is bothered by the fact that state colleges have their own police force? I can see the
practical need for policing a large group of people, but I see a real conflict of interest here, from the perspective of
the surrounding community (college police are controlled by the college) and the students (police and professors,
all working together...)
Actually it makes me feel safer. The police (the real ones, the ones with the guns) have told me bluntly, "We don't go on campus." The campus security force doesn't actually *do* much of anything, and when they tried to shut down our event last year, we just bluntly refused. At least thet's the situation where I am.
Every once in a while, the network at my campus
slows to a crawl and I *know* it is because somebody planning a party has decided to download 50-100 MP3s
within the span of a few hours.
Really? Over here it's because someone is downloading an ISO of some Linux distro.
True, however you have to realize that Apple has a HUGE user base that is largely ignorant of technical issues, and expects their already bought-and-paid for programs to continue working. The userbase values backward compatibility; this is why Apple didn't have a modern OS out five years ago.
They pulled it off beautifully in the transition from 680x0, but that was because 680x0 was dying ( I believe it took all of 6 months before emulation on PowerPC was faster than the fastest 68040 Mac there ever was.) Migrating the user base to Intel would be a whole other can of worms, that would tend to annoy the majority of the users.
Rap's gotten more intelligent in recent years. Check out Dilated Peoples, the Ghost Dog soundtrack (along with anything RZA does), maybe the High and Mighty.
Also Boards of Canada. I cannot emphasize that enough. Not rap, more of a hip-hop/ambient.
The standard response is which Pink Floyd are you talking about? The Pink Floyd of Meddle, or that of Ummagumma, Pulse, and any of a dozen rehashed releases and show tours? 'Course that's just the standard net response.
My ex-roommate shared your opinion about Pantera tho.
Check out Boards of Canada, Plaid, Autechre, and DJ Food for some good modern music.
no, no, no, he means having the monitors turned so that they face the staff, but are still in a public area. people will still have to find information for themselves. having the screens face the librarians just provides the nasty authority-presence-is-watching feeling that makes some kids so nervous
16 minutes! Hah! Just goes to show what a crappy game Quake is. Why, I can finish Myst in 2 minutes 25 seconds without even practicing! Now there's a game!
Scientific American had an article a month ago about this, here it is.
I'm reaaly surprised I don't see more links to sciam, they're usually more informed than most internet sites (for example they had a very good rundown of the whole cesium-gas-faster-than-light story.)
MPEG-4 is the current state-of-the-art for video compression technology. The two older technologies MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 already caused a widespread distribution of digital video on the PC and notebook. The successor of MPEG-4 is already on the horizon and is called MPEG-7. This video standard is supposedly going to be introduced in July 2001 and principally integrates an object search routine. MPEG-2 will also be extended; MPEG-21 is the succeeding standard.
Ok, does the Motion Picture Experts Group have their version numbering scheme completely out of control or what?
Am I the only one who sees a big diffrence in quality between the "original MPEG-2" and the recompressed MPEG-4 shown on the first page of the article? Then again, the window frame looks pretty bad, too, so it may be due to crappy JPEG compression. But I'd rather see samples (uncompressed stills at least) comparing mpeg-2 to mpeg-4, at similar data rates, made from the same uncompressed source (instead of recompressing MPEG-2 into MPEG-4) before I pass judgement on how good this new format is.
Then again I'm not satisfied with anything less than 192kbps in my mp3s, maybe some other people aren't as picky.
WHY is my previous post flamebait? I will accept all criticism, someone just tell me!!! PLEASE!!
Apparently it was because you used the word "fsck" repeatedly. I don't quite get it either, you were at least using a euphemism and not writing it out FUCK so all the kiddies could read... Maybe you should use "fornicate" or some other more generally accepted synonym.
In David Touretzky's testimony he says something to the effect of "I could publish the scematic of the timing device of a bomb, and while it would be illegal for me to make that bomb, no one could punish me for pubishing the diagram." Myself, I don't see the difference between a schematic and computer source code; both are ways of encoding the solution to an engineering problem.
I also think you tread on a slippery slope by distinguishing freedom of expression from freedom of speech. The First Amendment says nothing about expression, and (with my limited knowledge of first amendment law) the courts don't much like to either. Expression is a vague term, and is subject to individual interpretation; if you allow the courts to determine what constitutes it, it may allow you to treat individual cases more subjectively than objectively.
Public nudity may be "Expression" to some people, but it is neither Speech nor Press, and is not protected under the First Amendment. Perhaps some people will claim it to be part of their Religion, in which case,... ah, now I'm confused. Stupid analogies.:-P

I will never write this sentence again.
Note that the standard caveat applies: "plastik55 cannot make this statement consistently."
Also, all Slashdot posters are liars.

Whereas correcting someone's lame comment, while forgetting to turn off your own +2 posting bonus, is fine.
We all had a good laugh when the 16lb. beast became the first truly weightless laptop.

In other words, stop complaining.

Otherwise, good points...
There is, even, demonstrably correct software. Not likely if you code in C though.
Incorrect math is not math. 'Nuff said.
:-P

Yup, DVDs are lower resolution than HDTV, yet another reason why they suck.
