The GP32 has good tools. It was always intended by the manufacturer to be a platofor that users could program. There is a Gameboy homebrew scene. Any linux based system (Zarus) is going to be pretty easy to develop for, but not optimized for gaming. I would guess that this Helix thing will be relatively easy to code for, and seems to have 3d acceleration, which would be fun. Let's hope that they make dev kits available.
I would probably calculate the net by taking the warranty into account as well (since you would have bought it), which gives you a total cost of $100. Of course if you start thinking like that the $1599 Powerbook starts to look nice...
Are you saying that the fact that it is available is the parachute or that you have to use special compiler flags is the parachute?
There is no parachute here. The special flags are a gate at the edge of the cliff with a sign that says, "If you jump off this cliff, you're likely to get hurt or killed."
Why your discussion of treaties is interesting, applying those thoughts to machine translation seems misguided. If you have a system that translates from Hindi to English what is the use in training it on Spanish as well? Using texts written in all three languages would have little benefit, since the most accurate translations would come from Hindi->English matching.
If you had a large body of texts in Hindi and Spanish and another large body of texts in English and Spanish and finally, if you lacked a sufficient number of texts in both English in Hindi then a system that translated Hindi->Spanish->English could be useful. Another situation is if the text you wanted to translate were availible in both Hindi and Spanish but not English. However, the error reducing traits that the three language treaty have are not present in this situation.
If the goal is a universal translator then there would be a point, but that wasn't the stated goal of the project.
The gave it up while I was there because "it was the right thing to do." Seriously, a university doesn't really need that right now. IBM on the other hand...
I do not know enough about the North American military-industrial complex to know if the same principle applies with defense spending.
How about this: No nation will attack Canada because the USA wouldn't tolerate it. Canada could afford to be relatively friendly with the USSR, because they knew that the USA would cover them if anything went wrong. Also, in a conflict between the USA and the USSR, many of the missles and bombers would fly over Canada. This has a tendency to cause a country to try to be nice to both sides in order to give it more pull when the missles and bombers start flying.
You sound just like me in college. There was only a short period in college during which I was proactive and got things done way ahead of time. The rest of the time I was wasting time right until deadlines and then grinding things out. I was pretty good at it too, but it wasn't worth the stress.
The exercise suggestion above is a good one and then you just have to find how you work best. If you are only productive after 11 pm then at least make good use of the rest of the day. Don't waste it on/., games or TV.
Not only that, but IBM has decades of cooling experience from the mainframe world and some of that knowledge goes into cooling Thinkpads. Of course Thinkpads aren't water cooled...
I don't think that does miss the point. It solves the problem nicely in fact. Sell the company a non-open license to the framework. If you own the copyright to the framework you can license it however you want to. The ownership of whatever you develop for them on top of it is decided by your contract with them. How does that not solve the problem?
I actually am fascinated by Brazillian elections. The nightly hour of bad TV and the enormous amounts of trash in the streets are so different from what I am used to.
Actually, that's the way most of the world is, and it's far worse in the 3rd world than it is in the US.
There is even a word for it: brazilianization! This is because Brazil has the greatest disparity between its rich and poor, as illustrated by its Lorenz curve. And just so you know, the brazilianization of the USA is continuing. Some economists think that the 1950's and the rise of the middle class were an economic abberation, so to be corrected by prevailing economic forces.
What is the difference between a smart card reader and a smart card programmer? That you can glitch the card with the programmer? I can (and do) "program" smart cards with any old ISO-7816 compliant reader.
Do I need something other than a PC attached smart card reader and a knowledge of how to send an APDU to the card to unloop it? What is it that makes the "programmer" special?
The term "smart card reader" often confuses those new to smart cards. All "smart card readers" are also "smart card writers" (a term which will give you away as a newbie) in that they can send information to the card and recieve information from it.
Is there anybody that has a map of the path the ducks traveled? Did they discover the northwest passage? The articles I have read are a bit sparse on the details.
You can do much of what LaTeX does with Word, but you will need 3rd party add-ons and time and patience. You can't do everything that LaTeX can do in Word. Word is expensive, LaTeX is free.
If you are going to generalize, try to be more accurate!:) For example, it is also true that LaTeX can't do everything that Word can do.
How about this: There are some things that both LaTeX and Word can do. There are some things that only LaTeX can do. There are some things that only Word can do. There are things that neither can do. LaTeX is free. Word is expensive.
Note that when I say, "only" I mean, "within the set of LateX and Word, only X."
Strangely enough, I got my CS degree at Stanford, home of Donald Knuth, and never learned TeX, LaTeX, or anything related. I wrote all my papers in Word 5.1a for Mac.
Huh? They only "look" hierachical? How does having links change this? It simply makes the graph a bit more complicated. There is a big difference between a hierachical DB and a relational DB, and it involves much more than what you have pointed out. For instance, compare IMS and DB2.
You are comparing the Mountain Meadows Massacre with the entire history of the Catholic Church and saying that the Vatican comes out on top from your point of view? The church just did a full dig there to document the whole thing. They could have just left it buried.
The Tanner lawsuit doesn't even approach the amount of litigation that Co$ has caused. It was a minor blip.
True, if you are Mormon and don't live in Utah, you wouldn't have heard of these, since the Boston Globe (for instance) isn't likely to care.
Well, we finally sat down and have somewhat of a line-type thing going. There are about a dozen people here, some of them have got StarCraft going, others are just socializing. There is a constant stream of unenlightened pedestrians constantly asking us one of three questions: "What time does it open?", which borders on imbecilic seeing as the sign saying "6 PM" is right behind me. The second question is "What do you get for being here?", to which I answer "A t-shirt." If they pressure harder, I admit my insanity and respond simply with "Satisfaction." The third question being the most obvious: "Why?" My answer is always "Because I can." It's not every day you have the oppertunity to do something that deprives you of sleep, saps your sanity, and borders on illegality, just for fun. I'm self-employed, I don't have to answer to a boss, and if I want to take a Friday off to camp outside of a compter store, that's my perogative, and one I'll willingly jump at given the chance.

Good point. Still, notice that nobody else has invaded Canada. Canada is there for the US to beat up on and nobody else. :)

Google for "Corporate Personhood" to muddy the waters futher. In the USA corporations have the rights that people have.

This is a country in which you are forced to visit the polls. You can always vote "branco", but you have to show up.
O Brasil e' o pais do futuro, e sempre sera'.
Punish us no more!
You weren't willing to wait for the G5? :)
that should be "soon to be corrected by..."

if you've read the article and it doesn't have the info you want, how could the summary have it?
