Nobody is asking questions. The people who need OS/2 already KNOW why they need it.
By the way, it's the best programming environment I've ever worked under, and as far as reliability goes there has never been anything to touch it until OSX came along.
bullshitting creatively. You know, just like everyone else
I resemble that remark. haha.
However it's not necessarily necessary:) to convert all the way to a liquid.I guess I forgot more thermo than I originally thought. You're right, I wasn't thinking. But, in fact, it's more efficient to use the enthalpic heat thingy for common refrigeration and a/c applications, so they do. I tried to google up some specific facts but hard info seemed fairly difficult to come by. I did find a meaningless PDF buried on DuPont's site someplace but it didn't seem particularly quotable. Maybe tomorrow I'll check howshitworks.com or something, probably while I'm looking for nits to pick in somebody else's post. Guffaw.:-)
I was glad they capped the karma, I never could get above 49 anyway. Some arsewipes kept modding my humor as "offtopic" and "flamebait". Go figger.
On the other hand if the gas is compressed farther it will be able to accept more heat, so you should be able to get a more rapid heat transfer
Sorry, it's been a few years since I had thermogoddamics, but I'm not sure this is correct. The heat transfer uses ENTHALPIC heat, which is given up or absorbed when the material changes state. In other words, Freon (ammonia, whatever) absorbs heat when it changes from a liquid to a gas, and vice versa. You compress the gas JUST ENOUGH to change its state to liquid, compressing it further has no effect (besides, compressing liquids isn't really practical anyway.) I believe what makes the Freon family so suitable for heat exchanging applications isn't it's enthalpic heat capacity, but the temperatures and pressures at which it changes state, i.e. practical in real-world terms. For example a compound that changed from gas to liquid at 2000 PSI at -140C wouldn't really be useful for much of anything. Some substances don't go through the liquid stage at all at practical pressures (carbon dioxide)... they go straight from gas to solid (and vice versa). Hard to pump a solid through a heat exchanger.
Anyway, you made some great points, but the solutions may not be as practical or simple as you suggested.
And I didn't see any mention in the article of what kind of compressed gas was used in the sound chamber.... Freon maybe? haha.

Another rant- my sister's boyfriend insists on calling it "tar-ghay" as if it were French or something.
Surprise, it IS French... French Canadian. It's what's left of the old Hudson Bay Trading Co. And although I'm not pretentious enough to use the French pronunciation (living as I do in the great state of Flarda) I have in fact seen Target execs pronounce it as "tar-JAY" in interviews.
MEEP! Wrong! Phoenix Tech was first to license their reverse-engineered BIOS, opening up the PC-clone market.
I don't believe that's what he meant. When the PC was originally released you could buy the Technical Reference Manual (I've got one around here someplace) for a nominal fee. It thoroughly explained the architecture of the PC, and had a complete BIOS function call reference. You didn't necessarily have to "reverse engineer" anything; just duplicate the functionality from the documentation. The significance of clone BIOS's (and Compaq was first, by the way, not Pheonix) was that they used a "clean room" approach to make sure that there was no infringement on IBM's binaries. You could do no such thing with Apple... the lone Apple ][ clone, Franklin, actually used a bit-for-bit copy of Apples BIOS, (or at least portions thereof) which promptly got them sued out of the market.
There was this kid who, as he got older, never spoke. His parents took him to doctors, specialists, psychiatrists, all to no avail. In ever other way, he seemed normal. This continued until his 10th birthday, when one night at dinner, he said "These beans are cold".
His overjoyed parents asked "if you can talk, why haven't you said anything before?"
I'm not sure how digital works in that regard, but I know with AM, you can get extremely impressive range.
AT NIGHT. AM propogation is affected by the ionosphere, which is different depending on time of day; i.e. at night AM signals bounce off of it and can travel thousands of miles. During the day, however, they are ABSORBED and the only way to recieve the signal is by groundwave. For this reason AM stations (usually) decrease their broadcast power SIGNIFICANTLY at night.

I've never seen a pop server that didn't support this too. It's not that big a deal.
I have to ask: Where in Atlanta is there a 70 mile an hour speed limit?
I thought 285 had a 70 MPH limit? I guess I never paid that much attention to the signs. I have a picture someplace of my speedometer as I was tooling through there one Friday morning about 9am. It's showing just under 100 and you can see I'm right in the middle of very heavy traffic. (Point being that I wasn't passing anybody.) It's a rush.

Thanks for coming, it's been real, it's been great, but it hasn't been real great.
And don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, ok?

I know this is a stupid question but I don't understand how this ended up in the distribution in the first place.

That's too bad. Creative Computing was the best of that generation. I can't even imagine a computer magazine having cartoons nowdays.
Actually I sort of doubt that.
And how much is this puppy? I didn't see price mentioned anywhere.
I'm glad you didn't have mod points. Heh. You are right, I am wrong.

60hz on an LCD may be tolerable. 60hz on a CRT is unviewable, especially in an office with flourescent lighting, which also strobes at 60hz

How is this a flamebait?
It's not, but since nobody uses the meta-moderation feature, incompetent moderators are never busted.
whoever modded this as "flamebait" is retarded.
What do they do about pre-paid mobile phones?
I suspect that you'll see the ability to anonymously buy a mobile phone go away very soon.

never mind, I just got what you were saying. Duh.
If num-lines is 0, you get just the header.
What's wrong with "top x 1" to get just the header, then do an rset (if you want to)?
