I've run linux on a dual PIII for years and would rather use it for doing audio processing or any other type work than on another PIII that I have even though the single processor machine has a 33% higher clock speed. No GUI or any other lag at all.
If I can help it, I never want to have another machine with anything less than 2 processors in it.
When MSFT first came to my college to recruit programmers, they sent a couple guys dressed like Leisure Suit Larry who were complete jerks. The one that interviewed a friend of mine turned the interview into a bash anyone but Microsoft rant ("your resume looks great what did you use to write it?" "WordPerfect 5.." "What sort of fucking idiot would use anything other than Word!" "It's what I have..." and went downhill from there). It was the first time that the placement office had ever heard any complaints about recruiters (and there were lots of them). IIRC, the only people who were offered plant trips were assholes who enjoy hanging around with other assholes (aka frat boys) and the one or two hot women on campus.
If they are like the Canadians I know, motel owners would do that because they don't want them eating all the bacon at the complimentary breakfast bar.
He wasn't "hanging out with sinners". He was preaching the Gospel to those who needed it, admonishing them to "repent and sin no more". He also didn't turn the other cheek when it came time to driving an abomination out of the temple. Christianity isn't supposed to be some hippie love fest where everything is OK because you have a "get out of Hell" free card. It's about living a Christ-like life: following God's commandments, helping those in need, encouraging others to repent and follow the same path, etc. But that's now "hateful". No wonder I feel like my sig more every day.
Why? These people volunteered to work on the project. It's not like they were hired to do work and the boss spent the payroll in Vegas. It doesn't matter how big or how profitable a company is, if you volunteer to work for them for free, that's your problem, not theirs. Apple rewarded people when they didn't have to.
They aren't doing anything that Google, Yahoo, MSN, or any other search engine isn't already doing. All of this information is publicly available. If you don't want the US Govt, any other government, or person reading what you put on the internet, don't put it on there in the first place. If anything, I would think taxpayers would be concerned about wasting money on something that private companies are already do very well. Maybe they are concerned that if they contracted the data collection out to a 3rd party search company, the results may be tainted.
Buy archive quality discs that have quality reflective layers, anti-scratch coatings on the top and dyes that are more stable than the generic recordables you find in a big box store. Install window blinds and/or curtains and always leave them closed.
I read about that a few days ago. The reason given for it not causing riots: fundamentalist Muslims don't watch Comedy Central and had no idea it existed.
Can't you create your own gapless MP3 files and import them into iTunes? I know there is a command line option for lame for the creation of gapless MP3 files.
I was responding to the "99% solutions are pretty much the same as 0% solutions" comment. That's BS. Getting hit by 5000 warheads is far worse than 50. If it was useless, why was the Moscow ABM system upgraded in the 90s? Do you have a link to anything that says we've actually spent $1 trillion on this? That's always been thrown about as a highball estimate on how much it would cost for a fully deployed system.
if NYC was nuked, but the residents of LA or Chicago were spared because of it, they would say it was money well spent and wonder who to hate now that the Yankees are history.
How dare these god-damn native americans refuse to buy a game about killing native americans
That depends on the tribe. If the entire game is about killing Apaches (is that a subtle hint to hack webservers so they can be replaced by IIS?), then I suppose members of the Apache tribe wouldn't care too much for it. Other tribes that fought them in the past, may love it. As one person pointed out, the last half of the game involves killing white people.
now that's something I've never heard of during black history month
from an accounting standpoint, they would have been considered assets of the plantation and would have had expenses associated with keeping them productive (would they have depreciation schedules??). Would this be cheaper than paying the going labor rate was after figuring in the costs of raising them until they were productive? Especially if they were less productive according to the Washington bio? I'm sure someone has 'run the numbers' on this. I have read that in many situations where the work was dangerous, slaves wouldn't be used since it would be expensive to replace one if they were killed. On the other hand, if an Irish or Scottish immigrant were killed, the body was sent home and someone else was hired to take their place.
Section 1801.h.4 is probably what you're thinking of.
notwithstanding paragraphs (1), (2), and (3), with respect to any electronic surveillance approved pursuant to section 1802(a) of this title, procedures that require that no contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party shall be disclosed, disseminated, or used for any purpose or retained for longer than 72 hours unless a court order under section 1805 of this title is obtained or unless the Attorney General determines that the information indicates a threat of death or serious bodily harm to any person.
It seems to me, that would allow trolling for data and if something interesting pops up, they have 3 days to get a FISA warrant, otherwise it is purged. They may also use the definition of "United States person" to wiggle out of having to get a warrant too.
The 'forwarding service' that I mentioned was NOT having a place of employement set up a.forward file on one of their servers. I was referring to a service provider that will forward mail sent to your account to any email address that you set up. Like any of these sites: http://www.google.com/Top/Computers/Internet/E-mai l/Forwarding/
That's one reason to have an email address with a forwarding service. You can have it forward the email to whatever address you like and still give out the same address to friends, family, and business associates.

3D games give me headaches. It is probably due to my eyes not being aligned correctly.

That's why some require background/credit checks and requiring 5 forms of picture identification.

since when are Christians supposed to tolerate sin?

That's the price tag of a fully deployed version of SDI, not of what's been spent on R&D.
It's way more logical to spend the money on something immediately useful and tangible, like border security.
and you will have Vincente Fox and various activist groups screaming about north of the border racism.SimAuschwitz? I wouldn't have thought of it personally, but given some of the other stuff on the 'net, I'm not surprised.

It left my mouth dry and made me want to chug a bunch of water to get rid of the feeling.
or maybe the corporations are hoping that the EFF sues them. http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/06/16 6248
