Jep, i remember Handwiring the reset switch. It was the first time a computer seemed to die for me. Connecting pins 1 and 3 gave a reset, connecting pins 1 and 4 blow the internal fuse. And i tried 4 hours to find the error before i checked the fuse.:-(
That was a lesson i learned for live: If there is no juice, check the fuse first, befor wasting your time with a voltmeter.
I watched "Ratatouille" on the weekend. The Prelude was a little gem by Pixar called "Lifted". Not to spoil anything, but this little film featured a toogle switch board with ca. 1000x50 toogle switches, all unlabeled!. The poor sod, who had to operate them got a little bit frustrated. And his superior handled this board as Glen Gould did his piano keys.
If you can find it and got time , watch the movie "The Company of Wolves" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087075/. It's a modern retelling of Little Red Riding hood. And yes it's about the sexual awakening of young women.
Are you sure? My physics teacher back in 10th grade mentioned this while talking about refraction indices. The refraction index of air is not 1, but slightly higher (1.0002926 at STP). The tunnel will be filled with air, not a vacuum. So the light that travels through the atmosphere ist refracted a little bit. I still remember him talking about this in relation to sunrise. And lo and behold:
Because atmospheric refraction causes the sun to be seen while it is still below the horizon, both sunrise and sunset are, from one point of view, optical illusions.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise
So light is refracted in an atmosphere (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refractio n), and a tunnel in about 10 km depth should be enough for the refraction to follow the curvature of earth, as the deviation at sea level appears to be 34' to the horizon.
If you can build a tunnel round the earth, as in dig 10 miles straight down, and then dig ca. 40000 miles following the curvature of earth in one direction, so that you end up where you started, you should be able to use a laserpointer to target your own back of the head, because the normal athmosphere bends light in just the right way.

If you are caught downloading copyrighted material, you will lose your ResNet privileges forever.
If i surf to any website, i start downloading copyrighted material, the moment i hit go. So it must read "downloading copyrighted material without permission of the copyright owner" and how on earth will this be enforced?
Implicit permission? Explicit permission?
How should Admin Eve know, that i phoned Alan Smithee in LA, and he gave me permission to download a 5 min.avi from his upcoming film "Gay Politicans go Hollywood" to include it in my essay about the corrupt politics in enforcing IP-Crimes?
Looks like i should be happy that i'm not in Kansas anymore.
Achieving it for 'stuff' in general, which seems to be the aim of the Semantic Web, is probably flat-out impossible.
Why should it be impossible?
I always thought that this kind of thing is what standards are for. So lets create a 5-tuple with (date, place,event,persons,data), push this data through some xml into something called OEDF (Open Event data format) and Voila, tag it to every mentioning of said event. You just have to click ok 5 times(remember the first time Fry visited the Net in the year 3000), if your app detects such an oedf-object anywhere, and voila, with the magic of Ajax, Web2.0 and some scripting the event will appear in you calendar, your googleearth will get another layer, your adressbook gets 5 new adresses, your blog gets another entry and the most important thing I get 5 cent for every occurence of this happening in the furture.:-) Dips on this idea!

I'm using (K)ubuntu since hoary. So i upgraded to feisty via the update-manager on friday night. After downloading and installing i restarted the machine and everything seemed to work fine. But after about 20 minute i got a hard freeze with no sign of an error in the logs. So i restarted. 25 minutes later another hard freeze. I began to suspect beryl, so i disabled it. Again 25 minutes into the session, hard freeze. AFter 4 Hours of trial an error i read a message: mdadm updated to 2.5.3. My / is on a raid1, so mdadm tried to rebuild it. Bad idea, as soon as the rebuild reached/proc i had to expect problems and freezes. So i booted into Live-Knoppix and rebuild the / offfline. After that no more freezes. And yes Beryl is eye-candy at its best.
Robert A. Heinleins "Farmer in the Sky" has this plot. It's one of his juveniles. Consider reading also "The Moon is a harsh Mistress" or anything else by him.
Its Daniel Cohn Bendit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dany_Cohn-Bendit), you're mentioned. He's just a Member of the European parliament( for France IIRC), not the Bundestag. You might have misplaced him with Joschka Fischer(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joschka_Fisch er), the Ex Secretary of State from FRG. And yes, both where members of the APO in the early seventies and then become leaders or members of goverment.

At work we have a NEC 540T, XGA, 1500 Lumen,400:1, 2.5 kg. I took it home for the weekend, 5 months ago and hooked it up to my computer. 100" diagonal is like being right in the middle of the action, when you play GTA VC or Unreal Tournament. If you happen to sit slighty of axis you surely will get motion sickness. I will not recommend it for hardcore programming, but for leisure surfing, divxing and watching funky screensavers or Visualisations at partys.
While my boss had his hoilidays i had the projector at home for 2 weeks and i had tears in my eyes returning it.

Jep, it proves that we are old farts. And as they say: One year on the internets counts as 10 in the real world, so we are even older farts.

We don't need to enforce it in our old enemy Russia. We need to enforce it in our older enemys, France. Wait a moment ... :-)

P.S.
Damn, "concede" would have been right!;-)
is, you don't talk about errors. You talk about things in need of correction. Or maybe reorientation. But to conced an error? Never.
