    That doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense.

    You let her be exposed to Disney so she will buy their crap, but you don't let he watch a show that helps her learn.

    Great parenting!!! Start saving now for her bail.

    1 WHOLE mile? That isn't far enough for smaller towns. Now if it was 10+ miles it would work.

    One reason the broadband in the USA is behind other countries is the population density. With WiMax (stupid name - what will the next version be called WiMaxXTREAM?) one tower with a fancy antenna can cover a lot more ground.

    This guy, judging from his homepage, is one of those people that help those that attacks starbucks during riots.

    WTF does that mean? Since being ambidextrous people can use both hands equally well just leave the trackball on one side.

  13. Re:"clear" winner??? on GNU GCC Vs Sun's Compiler on a SPARC · · Score: 4, Informative

    The OpenSSL code has highly optimized assembly for those functions under x86. On other archs it is just C code that the compiler has to optimize.

    That may explain the speed difference that you are seeing.
