Interview question: 'Imagine there's a peasant somewhere halfway across the world. If you could push a button and kill the person without getting caught, would you do it for a million dollars?
Why bother ? Is an US dollar really that much money ? You can't even buy candy with that nowadays...
There is no catch to it either, it is that simple (Ok, there is catch, but *YOU* have nothing
to do with it and it doesn't affect you in anyway.)
Successful sex entertainment sites no longer solely depend on digital media. There is a new
cash cow going on, and to milk it fully, we first need to exhaust all other material. The
serious businessman will know what I am talking about.
Either you said too much, either you said too little. I'll go for the second one.
"A profession that we are a nation 'under God' is identical, for Establishment Clause purposes, to a profession that we are a nation 'under Jesus,' a nation 'under Vishnu,' a nation 'under Zeus,' or a nation 'under no god,' because none of these professions can be neutral with respect to religion," Judge Alfred T. Goodwin wrote for the three-judge panel.
Will this ruling be remebered as "Goodwin's Law" ?
well then what's the SNR of a consumer grade 16-bit soundcard ? Is it really significant to use 50 % (16 to 24 bits) more silicon on the digital side while the problem is apparently on the analog side. Do those 4dB (100dB audigy -96 dB 16bit DAC) really matter ?
IAEEE (I Am an Electrical/Electronics Engineer), but only freshly graduated.
Audigy ADVANCED HD delivers stunning audio clarity in multi-channel through 24-bit/96kHz digital-to-analog converters (DACs), producing an unprecedented 100dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Er, is it me or isn't that bullshit ? With a 16-bit DAC, we get a ratio of 2^16=65536:1 between the noise and the full scale signal. In dB this comes down to 20*log 65536 = SNR = 96.32 dB.
With a 24-bit DAC however, we get a ratio of 2^24=16,777,216:1 between the noise and the full scale signal. In dB this comes down to 20*log 65536 = SNR = 144.49 dB.
Isn't it suspicious in the first place to claim
an SNR much lower than expected ?
This is an insult to the slashdot community ! Can you think two seconds before posting ?
The idea of an alien guy pointing a camera to a tiny litle planet 10 million lightyears away, and still managing to aim at ground (25 pc of the earth surface), on a living organism, is simply ridiculous. For me, all remaining credibility was lost when a well centered quark appeared on the screen.
Also, how could this guy be thinking in decimal system like us ? He probably thinks in base e or in base fibonacci !
More so, if we suppose that this altruistic guy sends it to earth via radio waves (oh no, I forget, he probably aims a "L.A.S.E.R" to us too !), it would have to travel for 10e6 years before reaching a LISTENING receiver. And last time I checked, SETI didn't find anything.
Pedantic self proclaimed audiophiles LOVE crappy sound ! They love crappy vinyl ! They love stupid analog tube amplifiers ! If engineers were to develop the same mobo, but without the EMI issue and the fan noise, they would complain that the sound is Trop artificiel.

RIAA Exec #2: *clik clik* Hmm, it's coming along okay Sue, three people have signed up in the past month alone. Not bad but we just can't seem to get volume of users we were predicting.

With that money they could have killed extra terrrorists ! They could have bought 1000 murderous machine guns, 1/1500th of a bloody B2 bomber, 1/20th of an Apache helicopter or 1/736th of an intercontinental nuke.
I mean, get some perspective. That's even less money they can spend killing people or they can use to fund terrorists
How about just providing an email account that gets trashed to /dev/null everyday ?
Now Bin Laden's hord needn't hijack TWO planes to hit the Petronas Twin Towers, ONE is enough.
This is a "Stephen king died" troll, right ?

Get a clue !
Manuals are very decent restroom litterature.
Now Qt 6 is released, the KDE team can start working on KDE 6 !
If none of either works, try this one
