IIRC, the DeSmet compiler was the cheapest "real" compiler you could get in the early 80's. Mix was more like a toy. Support was excellent... I called them once to ask a stupid question, and they said "We don't know, why don't you call Mark?" and then they gave me his home phone number, and I promptly woke him up. FWIW, I believe that Mark DeSmet wrote the macro assembler that Intel used internally as well.
I think he misused the term "phase". Actually, I don't know what is correct, but I've heard them referred to as "legs", and generally about half of the house is wired from one leg, and the other half from the remaining leg. According to the code, they're not supposed to be adjacent to each other, but using extension cords or some other creative stupidity, it IS possible to end up powering two interconnected devices from separate legs, and running the risk (esp. with unpolarized plugs) of putting 240v through something. I was made well aware of this phenomenon back in my garage band days, when that "something" would often be ME. 120v hurts. 240v can kill you, or make your lips numb for a couple of days if, for instance, you are holding a guitar connected to an amp running off of one leg and trying to sing into a mic running through a PA connected to the other leg. There's nothing like a severe electric shock to help you remember that kind of stuff.
That's ok for terminals (ATM's) which are always connected to the network, but many if not most are not. Having most of the customer's info stored online and retrieved at the time of use would double (at least) the bandwidth required, and double (at least) the time each transaction takes to complete, and double (at least) the chances of communication failure.
The click is wherever the mouse is when you press the button... it's a single action. Probably MUCH MUCH more intuitive than the mouse+key interaction in the Flash demo. The only obvious thing that I missed was a "home" action (maybe left+right mouse buttons???) to take you to a default position/zoom level (so you don't get lost". I also wonder if it's recursive? i.e. a document can contain itself so that if you zoom in far enough you end up back where you started. That would be useful too.
I can't believe can programmer he doesn't get the fact that gnu linux spell like NEW Linux and every one I know who heard that has always answered : what ? there's a new linux ?,
He not pronounce the GNU "NU", it is be pronounced "GUH-NU". The G-letter be's not silent so. Feel bad, don't. Even the people speak the English got wrong this one often.
It's exactly as if some vagrant was shouting obscenities on a street corner. A policeman has the right to get rid of the vagrant, because he's a public nuisance.
I don't think that's a good analogy. It would be more like a bum standing on the street corner and whispering his rants into the ear of anyone who CHOSE to come close and ASK to hear it. Nobody is forced to listen to Howard Stern, not even by accident.
For the record, and not that it really matters, but I don't really like Howard Stern all that much, and I don't think most of what he does is funny, and I'm undecided on the issue of whether his schtick really belongs on the public airwaves or not. However, I *do* think his latest problems were politically motivated, and I think that Kommisar Powell has his lips glued to GWB's ass (at least when they're not glued to Clear Channel's collective ass.)
doesn't the second amendment also have something along the lines of 'by a militia' in there?
No.
It only mentions militias in the sense that they may be necessary from time to time and that it impossible to have a militia unless the individuals which might be called upon to form it are armed.
This is the reason why it happened in Florida: It's a quite southern state.
Depends on which part of Florida you're in. In the northern and northeastern parts, you're partially correct. (If the locals pronounce it "Flarda", then you're in the south.) However, once you go south of Orlando, you lose most of the southern characteristics completely. (i.e. what I consider, "southern charm", being a Flaridian myself.) There really isn't much difference between a Miami accent and a New Jersey accent, which isn't that surprising considering the number of ex-yankees living there.) That's not to mention the incredibly high percentage of immigrants and offspring of recent immigrants who replace southern culture with their own. And no, "southern culture" is NOT an oxymoron.
That's not what it's calling for at all, although it's (obviously) not too difficult to spin it that way, especially if you're a professional spinner. Regarding the reliability of Drudge, this is fairly typical for him; build the spin into the headline, which in this case, is very misleading. And to address your last point, the DNC hasn't "admitted" that the SPIN is correct, it's merely admitted that the document is legitimate. If you want to read between the lines, fine; just be careful to do your own analysis of what's REALLY going on and not automatically buy into the Republican spin.
World Net Daily??? They make Fox look like Pravda. I hope you don't really believe everything you read there. (For that matter, I hope you don't believe anything that's only reported from a single source.)
Interesting statistic. Do you have an authoritative citation or just pull that out of your ass? And define "the media". Do you mean the talking heads in the news department? The president of the news division? The board of directors? All of the above? And of the above, what political affilication are the members of the board most likely to be aligned with? And who calls the shots at the network? I'm just asking.
On a related note, Fox News, which NOBODY denies has a distinct right wing slant, brags constantly that (to paraphrase) "more people get their news from us than from any other source." So, do more people get their news from a right-wing source, or is the media liberal? You can't have it both ways.

1440 seconds divided by 30 employees == 48 seconds per employee, as he said.
You don't even understand the arguments well enough to properly present the wrong side.

My grandmothers wood paneled console TV still has that distinctive hair-raising squeal that I remember from my youth.
She probably just needs a new flyback transformer.

No mod points today, but that's FUNNY.
"Quick" is also an adverb.
No, it's not. It's one of many adjectives that you can convert into an adverb by adding "ly" to the end.

When I am at the gym, I listen to news on my MP3 player and when I get tired of news I listen to MP3s.
So record the news as an MP3 and listen to it later.
Guffaw.
How much of a "kit" is this; i.e. how much assembly is required? I suck at soldering.
I can't believe can programmer he doesn't get the fact that gnu linux spell like NEW Linux and every one I know who heard that has always answered : what ? there's a new linux ?,

Sorry, I wasn't very clear there. I was referring to replacing the bulbs with LED arrays. They're hideously expensive.
Perfect solution, except for the price. You'd have to take out a second mortgage on your house to buy enough of them to be effective.

So what's your idea of a good rebuttal? Strawman?
You obviously didn't read the document itself and have merely relied on others to tell you what it says.
That's not what it's calling for at all, although it's (obviously) not too difficult to spin it that way, especially if you're a professional spinner.

90% of the media are Democrats

What do you do about the legitimate mail sent to your gmail throwaway account? Notify each one of them of a new throwaway address?
In short, all the advantages of web-based design with all the advantages of client-side design. What's not to like?
That it would be slow as crap and would likely break behind poorly implemented or poorly managed firewalls?
