Here is a great page explaining chaos theroy. My favortie part is this:
Butterfly (A) flaps wings (B), distracting archer (C) who misses target (D) and shoots bull (E) who charges through fence (F) striking automobile (G) of Ambassador from Zukistan (backward nation with 1/7 of world's nuclear weapons), causing rear-view mirror (H) to break, giving Zukistan (I) seven years bad luck (J). Zukistan blames the USA (K), and declares war (L). Massive thermonuclear exchange (M) destroys civilization (N) and causes nuclear winter (O).
We also have the inverse butterfly effect: Nuclear winter (O) kills butterfly (A).
Also (back on topic) the page explains why the weather is so difficult to predict.
I have seen these in Pittsburgh. The tile itself is a seperate peice embedded in the pavement. It must be made out of an extremly hard material because Smithfield street is pretty heavly traveled.
Ok, Gameboy Advance is a 32 bit console, but games like this, and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow still show how 16 bit style games still have something to tell.
To an extent I agree, but FFT was a 32 bit game using the 2d/3d mixed capabilities of the Playstation.
Fates Warning, A Plesant Shade of Gray, a 12 part song covering an entire CD. In fact the performance on the CD was a straight through live performance of it. Definatally awesome, you must listen to the whole thing to get the full effect. (and I think their live albums actually sound better then the studio ones, these guys can really play!)
I think he meant the X-15 project. Probally the most successful X project ever. It was a rocket powered aircraft that could fly into space (non-oribtal) and back. It had reaction menuvering systems for space and traditional systems for atmospheric flight. The final flight also carried a scramjet for high-speed research. It made it to mach 15, still to this day a world record for atmospheric flight. Much of the space shuttle is based on the data gathered by this project. All this, and before the Mercury project put the first american in space.
The follow on project, an orbital version, was cancelled in favor of the manned rocked program.
Jumping on some scisors when I was young, splitting my knee right open. All I remember about it was being in the ER getting 5 stiches and my dad passing out. He needed 5 stiches in his forhead.
I ran into this problem recently at work. I am developing for an app server in java, and we have decided to have it run through XML. This way we can have our powerbuilder gui app and our java servlet website (using xslt) use the same appserver. We tried using Apache's jxpath, but I found it too limited in its support for xpath.
Instead I implemented my own jdom like system that uses xpath to find noes in a document using Xalan's xpath API. This gives me the flexibility of xpath and the usefulness of a DOM-like XML api. I was thinking of porting it to C++ for use at home.

Actually Hughes (the owner of DirectTV) has an old floating drilling platform they tow out to the equator from California to launch geosynch satalites from. Its easier to get to that orbit from the equator so they save money on the rocket.
The point he was trying to make is that "Replace the PS2 with an XBox because the XBox is more reliable" is a flat out lie. If a salesman told this to me I would punch him in the face. If he said "Replace the PS2 with an XBox because the XBox is more fun", he would still be lying, but I wouldn't punch him in the face. (I would just tell him to get the hell away from me)
Just because you sign the petition dosent mean you will download the source and modify it. It may mean that you would like to see development of classic games continue once their companies have dissappear...
TA was a groundbreaking game for AI. I, personally, would like to look at how it's AI code works, although I am nowhere near good enough a programmer to actually make a game based on this source.
Basically, just because you sign the petition, dosent mean you have to be a game programmer.
"The material, devised by Rama Venkatasubramanian and co-workers at the Research Triangle Institute in North Carolina, relies on the thermoelectric effect: the generation of an electrical current in two electrically conducting materials that are in contact when one is hotter than the other. Passing an electric current from one conductor to another can make the interface between them hotter or colder, depending on the direction of the current."
My girlfriend and I debate this a lot. She feels the threats to our privacy and liberty come from the government; I feel they come from corporations, who are working the strings behind the black curtain.

There were 3 of these tiles on Smithfield street. The street was repaved last month and they are now gone.
Actually my comment would have been better if I knew an average Iranian name.

If you had a million dollars I bet you could hook that up.

Get the spammers to attend the conference. My guess is that none of them will make it out alive.

I am responsible for closing VNC every time I am done with my remote console session.
AT&T is the local cable company in many areas.. so, yes they have their foot in that too...
More likley, "Frustrated Windows user takes the life of the person that sold it to him..."

How is it different then a peltier?

Your both right.
