I've graded code many times, and doing that does not disguise anything! You'd be amazed how easy to tell when people change variable names, brackets, indentation, spacing, etc.
BTW, even if you've graded 100 projects, you'll know when you see copied code. It's truly obvious.
I have to say that running VNC on an 8bit computer is amazing. I would have looked at the screenshots, but actually playing around is so much more fun! It makes me want a C64 or old intel computer to run this on:) Does anyone know how to enter an arbitrary URI though, I couldn't do it.
On another note, for those who thought VNC over 100BaseT was slow, it's even slower when running at 3KiB/s:) Oh well, this will be the first article to ever slashdot a VNC server, I think.
This is what you get for previewing your submitions -- all that testing your link maxes out the bandwidth cap for the site! See why there are so many bad links/dupes on slahdot? It's because the editors don't want to kill the sites fore everyone:)
Is there something that these power supplies contribute towards overall system stability that "cheap" ones don't? Are they really worth the money?
The article was very good at measuring everything measurable about the power supplies, but didn't answer the question "Why would I want one of these?". So why would I?
I think that by changing your idea of the interface a PDA can become a very useful calculator. Handwriting recognition is very good these days. Imagine writing:
3 S cos(4x+3) dx
0
insead of typing 4 x * 3 + cos 0 3 x int
Actually when you write it out in postfix, it looks really cool. Screw the handwriting:)

Dammit! Did I put my_ssn.txt and my_bank_records.txt into ~shared AGAIN!? Damn the insecurity!

Yup, the same plug. I brought my electrical devices to Japan, they worked fine there. Bought a Clie there, works fine here. In some areas they use 50Hz AC instead of 60, but most devices don't care. In fact, I've run many of my devices on a 120V DC power supply that my roommate and I made, but I digress:)
> Note that CF cards have a finite number of writes before they start killing off cells
Are you sure about this? I know other MTDs have this problem, but I thought CF cards used different technology. I'm concerned about this because a CF card is my primary drive for a small linux system:) (Actually, after it boots it mounts/usr/var/bin/sbin/home over NFS)
Also, anyone know how to install debian-i386 into a directory on a ppc box? I'm stumped, debootstrap dies on both machines.
The same way it stopped DeCSS from being written. Oh wait, it didn't.
Laws don't stop anything! It's illegal to kill people, too, but it still happens. They had better have made it physically impossible to get the pictures out (DSA with 4096bit keys:), or they're screwed.
PowerPC is working fine over here. test1's ALSA was broken, but test2's might not be. I haven't tested that yet. There should be build available from PPCKernel.org soon. I just submitted one.

Speaking of which, everyone laughs and goes away whenever I ask whether "french kissing" has been renamed to "freedom kissing". So has it? And if so, can I do that instead of going to war?
Why is it that media players need skins? You look at them less than other apps (movie players use the full screen to play a movie; sound programs are minimized and play sound while you work). Word doesn't have a skin, nor does emacs, mozilla, etc. I spend most of my time in these programs (save Word, I never use it), and don't expect them to be skinned. I don't quite understand why media players need skins! (Drawing that stupid waveform thing is just wasting my CPU!)
I think that ogg's the best for portable devices because you can "peel" an archive-quality version on your computer down to a portable-player quality one without re-encoding. Re-encoding is bad because it introduces _more_ artifacts, and takes time.

You sound like that's a problem. Who buys macs to run MacOS anyway :)

If it's helping them so much, why are they suing everyone that is "helping" them?

i don't know if i can believe that, based on your nick
I wish they would call it a "yuu-aru-ai" instead. We need hyoujyun-compliant nihongo!
Animeishon as in "animeishon eiga" is apparently a word too, so I think "anime" is just an abbreviation of that. This site agrees:
2 %A 5%CB%A5%E1&kind=je
http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/search.php?MT=%A5%A
Well, it does make Japanese more accessible to native speakers of English. For example, "conpuutaa" is more recognizable than "keisanki",
:)
Then again, people need to stop translating those words back to english; it leads to questions like "Do you have an arbite*?". No, that's German.
* arubaito is the word for "part-time-job", derived from German.
Moving offtopic, an interesting word evolution is:
animation[en] -> anime[jp] -> anime[en]
We use loanwords fron English in English now
or just send them an E-meiru

Hmm. I'm sure there's a printf function in C#, although I wouldn't know.
Here's some nice CS101-esque C++:
cout "Hello, World" endl;
Gotta love endl. Oh well... way off topic.
