Spot a hot girl. Check if she's single or not, check to see what you have in common. Search a database for the best pick up line. Get constant advice through IRC on what to say and what to do.

People around here like to bring all sorts of food in for the whole group to snack on during the day. It ranges from Christmas themed cookies to cheese, crackers, cold cuts, & cake. That beats decorations anyday.
I've done that a few years ago. On the eastern side of that area, WNAX can be picked easily in the day time. I believe they claim a 250,000 sq mile coverage and can be picked up in Texas at night. If you can't pick up that station, your radio's broken.
Once you get west of the Missouri, it does get a little spotty, but I haven't had any problem picking up stations. Some may be the tribal station on a reservation though. Maybe things have changed and some stations have gone out of business. Even if I was back home, I still wouldn't pay for radio w/ commercials.
I do nothing but get up, go to work, come home, read email, work on my computers or look at slashdot & other sites and then go to sleep. On the weekends, I do the same thing except I do it all day, except for the 3 hours when I'm in church on Sunday.
In many countries there it's consider low class to start a conversation out with, "So whaddya do for a living?" and proceed to talk about your work life.
Why is that? Aren't Europeans interested in what others do for a living or is it to save face if you are unemployed? That only leaves one safe topic to talk about: the weather.
he point was that all those extra little things that you'd throw away in a rewrite were necessary bug fixes. You throw them away, and unless you wrote those bugfixes in the first place (not likely, and even if you did, not likely you would remember), you lose all that information. That means that your new, "cleaner" version is very likely going to have similar bugs.
Which is why those bug fixes should be documented in the code, so that if someone does decide to do a rewrite, they can make sure that those areas are addressed in the new code. According to Wall, laziness is a virtue for programmers. If a programmer is being his proper lazy self, will he really want to do a complete rewrite since it means lots of extra work? No. A rewrite should be done if it dramatically improves the operation of the program and/or its maintainability. The Mozilla re-write was done after months of work on the netscape 5.0 codebase and it was determined that it couldn't be carried forward any farther. It already was band-aid on top of band-aid from the 1.0 days. Of course, if they had the cash cow that MS does, they could have afforded to have two development teams working in parallel. Very few companies have that luxury.

What bugs are those? I've been running galeon 1.0 since it came out and haven't had any problems with it.
That goes way up if you ditch the radiator, but it's kinda short-lived afterwards.
That depends on the engine. I have an uncle that's worked around some ceramic based diesels that do not have radiators. They are very efficient, but it takes quite a while for them to cool down in order to do any sort of work on them. He's said that it's not uncommon for them to be glowing at the end of the day when they turn off the shop lights.
Of course, it's not in 100% of the post offices yet, but that's where it's heading. If you are going from major cities, the chance that it's actually going on a FedEx plane to Memphis and back to the destination is high. From my experiences with Airborne, I wouldn't trust them to safely ship dog shit across the street.
So far, I haven't had any problems with UPS or FredEx. My dad does a lot of business via UPS, so much so that when the driver sees one of my parents' cars on main street (small town ~2000 ppl), he just puts the packages in the car and leaves a note. Maybe certain distribution centers are worse than others.
They don't even have a computer store for 150 miles in any direction.
That's an exaggeration. Sioux Falls which is certainly less than 150 miles away has several computer stores which are open on Sunday as would Sioux City, IA which is just a mile or so across the state line (Vermillion probably has a computer store or two, whether or not they are open on Sunday is another matter). Gateway has/used to have a computer factory there. Now, if you had said you were in Buffalo, SD or expected a 24x7 store, I'd understand.
He should send the pictures of his stuff to MailBoxes Etc. They could use it for their in-store ads for How Not To Ship Your Computer. It appears that he tried to put too much stuff in the boxes, which would cause even more problems since they would be banging up against one another. Unless it's at least 6-8" thick, bubble wrap is not going to cut it. I believe UPS and FedEx have an unofficial guidelines that a package should be able to survive a 6 foot fall onto concrete (ie. off a conveyor belt, out of the truck, etc.). Also, the people handling these packages will throw them if it will help speed up loading/unloading of the trucks. A healthy amount of heavy packing tape on all seams and corners helps too.
I feel sorry for the guy, but to me, this looks like a case of an overloaded, poorly packed box going through a shipping network that doesn't really care if the contents get from point A to point B in one piece, just that it gets there. Next time, if you're not sure, have a professional pack it and make sure it's insured.
It would be if he was just taking notes. That's what I use one at work for and it works just fine. The problem is that his paper phone book gets cluttered and very unorganized. He will start out with a new one and put the phone numbers and addresses of his business contacts and relatives in each alphabetical section. If one changes, he just crosses it out, and writes it someplace else where he can find room. After a while, it becomes difficult to find anything because everything's so mixed up.
He does like the Palm and thinks it is useful, but he doesn't use it enough to get in the habit of taking it along with him. He's probably not all that thrilled about having it fall out of his pocket while he's in some guy's feedlot either (which happens occasionally with the paper one). Since he doesn't lose watches, I think this would be a good compromise product.
My sister lives about 80 miles northwest of Yankton and they receive their 'cable tv' via a little directional antenna that looks a bit like a DSS dish, but smaller. The signal is broadcast from the cable operator in the town about 10-15 miles away. They've had that for several years before DSS became widely available.
Most of the little towns have two story buildings along their main streets, but the major obstacles would probably be the grain elevators and storage silos. Those and water towers are usually the only things one sees poking above the trees.
That area is great. I'd like to find a *nix job there and move back.
There is a sub-project for Mozilla called Rhino that implements the JavaScript interpreter in Java. It apparenlty can or did translate JavaScript into Java bytecode that could be processed by the JVM's jit. According to the history page, it doesn't sound like it worked all that great (leaked memory and the JavaScript->Java translation was slow).
That depends on which state and the part of it. IIRC, the area in question is somewhat flat, but it still has a few hills and trees. I saw a digital elevation model for one part of ND that a friend was processing and the major changes in elevation in the section they were working on were due to road ditches.
In general, it's would still be a good place for wireless.
wow, the compiler fixes bloated design issues too?
Seriously though, any speed up with any program helps. Given that Mozilla's UI is in XUL and that's were a lot of the sluggish behavior seems to be, has anyone come up with a jit compiler for xul?
And just think, ten years ago, the first thing one would do with a new Sun was install gcc on it because it was much faster than the compiler that you had to buy from Sun. Especially, if it was a M68K based machine. I don't think gcc was that much slower than the sparc compiler. It was slower than the MIPS compiler by quite a bit though.
That's because there are more people working on the Intel optimizations. It's also worth noting that some people heavily involved with the development of gcc have said there are some optimization techniques that they would like to implement, but can't because they are currently patented and are waiting for the patents to run out.
I've always heard good things about Digital's Alpha compilers. When the Alpha division of H-Paq finally takes a dirt nap, it would be nice if they could GPL the Alpha optimizations for inclusion into gcc.

Given that hardware, it better be fast and responsive. Given time, I'm sure someone will create enough bloat to slow it down.

Has anyone compiled mozilla with the Intel compiler? If so, please post the results.
No kidding. I can almost buy two machines for the price of what some people want for broadband adapters.

Nope, sorry. I lived there then too. Still an exaggeration. Fat chance finding one open after midnight, though.

That's why I bought a Dreamcast.
