Except that you have to make it take 1-2 seconds on a fast PC. What about my Pentium I that used to be just fine as a mail server? It now gets to spend 10 minutes per email to calculate hashes?
I'm a FutureQuest customer and like their CNC interface. I don't know if they wrote it or its a relabeled product but it seems pretty complete: ftp, mail, server info, statistics, and a lot of documentation. Its my third webhost and they haven't pissed me off yet.
According to UCS, nuclear is down to 21% of our energy production and falling as old plants get retired. Russia used to have a pretty active nuclear program as well, but they've had a few problems.
Meanwhile coal is doing 54%. If the Clean Air Act had not been watered down, we would have much cleaner air.
The laser output drops over time, but there is an adjustment on the card for cranking it back up. Look around for webstires describing the procedure. My son got his going again that way. Good thing for me; I'm still trying to get thru Ratchet and Clank.

Look at his first example, which is concatentating 1 million strings. His "bad" time is 5.2 seconds and the good time is 1.7. Who cares? Nobody uses perl to do high-performance computing. Imagine you are extracting 1M strings from a database and doing something with them. Would you care about a 3 second difference?
Its OK to write good code, but its better to make your code clear and not dependent on clever tricks.
A friend of mine built a circuit that sounded exactly like a slow, periodic drip of water. Hidden near somebody's cubicle, it was almost impossible to find by ear, because of the long pause between drips. His victim hid a dead fish in his file cabinet, which was pretty effective revenge.
Personally, I think he should be able to leave the TV on as much as he wants,
Of course the manufacturer has to make good on the problem. That's not at issue. What you are saying is that the operator has NO liability. He/she can just go ahead and recklessly operate interfering equipment even if it causes deaths! That's irresponsible.
Another vote for avoiding personal responsibility. No, the way the law is written, the equipment operator is responsible for what gets broadcast. Not understanding the equipment that you own and operate is not an excuse for you to violate the airwaves, sorry.
There is lots of off-the-shelf equipment that you can buy that is capable of causing interference with your neighbor's TV reception. Guess what, you are responsible regardless of who made it, what it says on the sticker, what tests it passed, or anything else. If you turn it on, then its your problem; and that's exactly how it should be.
To get high acceleration of spacecraft and low acceleration of launcher, the launcher needs to be much heavier or counterbalanced with conventional rockets (or a really big anchor).
My Web site uses Google AdSense to display context-sensitive ads to my users. The AdSense administration site works only with IE
This seems dubious. The google site claims that you just need javascript. Can anyone who uses AdSense verify this? I'm guessing the popup blocker in firefox thwarted this guy's limited computer savvy.
That means you can "copy protect" a drawing by incorporating this design. Cool. It would be interesting to know how they detect the pattern given that the source image can be rotated at any angle. I don't think they are running FFTs on cheap color scanners.
I started a project with the 405GP system on chip, but it was cancelled. The Walnut has ethernet, DRAM controller and PCI on-board so you can make a tiny, ultra low power, 32-bit embedded system. We were using PC104 form factor. I think there's a BSD port as well as Linux. Not super fast, but if you aren't running X, 300 MHz is plenty. It looks like AMCC has bought that business from IBM, so I guess not enough people noticed how much cooler (in both senses) these chips are than the AMD and Intel SOC chips.
As opposed to the current model for enterprise software:
The vendor sells you the app and comes in and sets it up incorrectly. The guy who got the training and all of the manuals gets a better job and leaves. You didn't buy a service agreement, so you don't have the updates that you need. You have to set the clock back to 1998, because its not Y2K. And it only runs on Windows NT, Service pack 2, with constant attention required to keep the log files from overflowing.
Go would be perfect except for the "ko" rule, which prevents what chess would call "draw by repetition". The rule seems sort of arbitrary to me.
I got OK at chess (1800 rating) but I never broke the surface of Go, its much harder to play well. To make them equal difficulty, you could play Go on a small board, maybe 7 x 7, and then you could calculate the effect of your moves the same way as in chess. On 19 x 19 you can't calculate combinations. You need the years of experience to see patterns.
IBM is combining the hardware between their iSeries (old AS/400 midrange) and pSeries (old RS/6000 UNIX) into P5 boxes which also run Linux. Sharing development across 3 product lines should help lower costs. Its hard to compare apples-to-apples (no pun intended) but:
IBM 570C, 8-way 1.5GHz P5, 16GB mem list is $70K
Sun 4800 8-way 1.2GHz Sparc, 32GB mem list is $325K

From the nVidia license agreement:

"All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE
This might be standard legalese, but it certanly states that code isn't necessarily all nVidia's.
By the way, "yum update" is not a good idea on Fedora Core 2 if you have the nVidia driver installed.

Perl 6 will support Perl 5 regular expressions by using the :p5 modifier.
Meaning that it is not backward compatible without modifying your source code.
Note to those who are going to respond "Just install both!": look at the first line of your perl scripts.
Yet another bullet-related accident.

Close. That was dead stars, this is deskstars.

Specs for the P260 say 160W worst case, so your number is about right for typical. but 7 cents? You live next to a dam or something?
F = m1 * a1 = m2 * a2

Yes. I've played Asteroids. I get pulverized in 30 seconds by a big rock because I'm going too fast. Is that what you meant?

Oh. So you're an ACLU lawyer.
I think AC is correct:
PHP 5 introduces the "final" keyword to declare final members and methods. Methods and members declared final cannot be overridden by sub-classes.
overload has a specific meaning.
