th egood old days of peeking and poking. I used to go through all the lower memory addresses and find all the interesting ones. Such as the ones that made the floppy disk light turn on, make sounds, etc. So, I made a program that simulated the disk formatting. It was funny. God...i was a nerd in the 6th grade.:(
You point out something interesting/frustrating about basic. having each line be a multiple of 10, you are only allowed 9 additional lines between them. I remember wanting to add features to my code on my Apple IIe, but I would quickly run out of lines! Then I'd have to do something lke you did, use lots of gosubs or gotos:) Code would get quite messy back then:)
we have to start doing a fast rar or zip on our files before transmitting them? Hell, you could probably just do a rot13 shift on all the data in the file./me gets to work, wondering what a rot n shifted mp3 file will sound like.
wouldn't it be that sound cards didn't work with linux?
If the manufacturers don't make drivers, or don't give out information about the sound cards so drivers can be made, then how is that the OS's fault? If I make a piece of hardware and don't make drivers for any OS or give out information, does that mean that all OS's are broken? No, it means that I suck.
I had dialup till recently. It was perfectly acceptable with programs like AtGuard, which would keep images that contained certain terms in their url (like adblock plugin) from being transmitted (unlike adblock plugin).
State legislation was passed requiring the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to implement a program to distribute telecommunications equipment and services for individuals certified as having functional limitations of hearing, vision, movement, manipulation, speech and/or interpretation of information.
The program is funded by a small surcharge that appears on all Californian's telephone bills. The money collected from this surcharge pays for both the equipment loan program and the California Relay Service (CRS). This surcharge appears on your phone bill as "CA Relay Service and Communications Devices Fund."
I agree. There should be an authentication. Even something as simple as a username and password. Couldn't do it by number, because what if people brought their tty machines with them? And, you could only have authentication for incomming tty connections.
yes! Looking into this a little more, the time figure are close...
Perhaps this explains the jumps in evolution observed every 100,000 years or so.
from this article "The time between magnetic reversals on the Earth is sometimes as short as 10,000 years and sometimes as long as 25 million years; the time it takes to reverse is only about 5,000 years."
a large portion of the 50 gigs will most likely go to CRC. instead of 17 bits per 8 data bits like on cd's, they'll probably have to go MUCH higher. Hopefully, they'll put them cases like some of the DVD-RAM discs.
so, to make a lot of money, someone should figure out how to cancel the vibrations!
Yeah...it works pretty good. Has trouble getting a sharp picture though (couldn't before either realy..but slightly worste). Ideally, you would replace the IR blocking filter with a piece of glass so the lense would still focus as it did before (just need same index of refraction). Using a remote control for my satellite, I can easily light up my entire shoe from a couple feet back in pitch black.
I even, for a couple of minutes, was able to convert a camcorder (an old VHS by Sharp) to an IR camera. That one worked GREAT. Just to give an idea, using a 150w incadescent bulb caused the camera to overexpose...in the shadows with a shutter speed of 1/100 at the opposite corner of my room!!! Didn't get to test it with a remote cause I killed the camera a couple minutes after that. Left the eyepiece unplugged...and...with their bad design, sparking and smoking ensued. But, it manual and autofocused great. I have a feeling it would have been MUCH more sensetive than the quickcam just because of it overexposing like that.
I have a broken camera that I'm trying to fix right now. Much more modern/complicated/in pieces than the other camcorder. I already "converted" it...just need to put it back together.
It's super easy to do if you have/find/buy any old cameras around. Just need to get to the lens assembly. Take that off and you should see the hotplate over the CCD. On all the ones I've taken apart, it's above a protective glass covering, so, the CCD will still have something in front of it and just pops out. It's always been about three screws and sometimes snaps. On the quickcam, I had to cut it out though. On my sisters webcam, it just snapped out though (pulled it out and put it back).
In a couple of years, we could easily buy old digital cameras (2 megapixel or so) for cheap and convert them to IR for cool IR pics (look them up if you haven't seen them).
man...got me all excited...i'm gunna go try to put the camera back together...
oh, and as a cheap/low quality IR filter, you can use exposed film (where it's black). It'll only pass the IR well (stack them for a better effect). I think I remember mylar (floppy disk) as passing the IR also(?).
I took apart my usb web cam to remove the hotplate so it could see IR (and it did). But, while I was doing it with the USB still attached, if I would put my fingers in just the right spot on the exposed PCB, it would bluescreen and completely kill windows. A bluescreen button!

well, if some of the scientists had herpies, then, maybe they would be found on the curtain :p
NO! last time I played, I had to put big for loops of manupilating floating point numbers :)

where do you think it holds all the quarters?

uhhh...so, linux doesn't work with sound cards.

A dial up and a shitty dial up service are two different things.

Someone should look into this!
Get ready for a new body! Woohoo!

Maybe all the particles from the sun that will hit us will cause mutations! Maybe that's what happened before.
I can see it now...
"Play hard, play tough. Nike lead lined athletic wear."
most speeders I see tend to run the yellow light by flooring it as soon as it turns yellow. I would think this would increase speed!
now something for Urban Exploration. I always had to leave my PDA in the bushes outside the entry points :(

it's not waves...but I wonder if the probe could detect gravity waves?

more bigger...wouldn't that mean less room for all the many smaller ones that would have taken the place for the bigger ones?
cause it varies depending on listenning angle, where the whine is pretty constant.
probably why he's having trouble.
...or don't.

Actually, I have always ended up with the opposite results. It has ussually been that if I flip it from the heads side, it ends up on the tails side.
I personally think it has almost everything to do with flip height and speed. But, I'm sure it's subconciouse for me.
The thing that interests me isn't the burnt Jackson face, but the burn to the right of it.
How long did you put it in for? How many?
