Pumping 5W of near-microwave RF into your skull probably *is* a good way to mess things up, even if the 250mW of a normal cell phone aren't very dangerous.
Of course not! Attacking white-collar, white male criminals is okay -- but the second you start attacking muslim criminals, you're an intolerant islamophobe.
I'm all for much, much more drastic measures against both the media outlets and the people spewing such violent anti-american and anti-israeli hatred (and I'm not even jewish) but thats something most people aren't willing to do, because they know if they do, they're liable to have their throat slit -- even if they live in downtown Manhatten.
Have an op spend an hour picking from the library of tracks and previously-recorded legal IDs, and make it into some coherant progression.
That'll give it a human touch, and still keep you legal.
That's what I did when I worked for a station in Atlanta, I'd oftentimes come in off-hours, and set the computer system to play specific tracks in order, interspersed with legal messages, so that I was controlling the station but not actually on the air. It was great that way.
Having worked at a high-power FM station in the Atlanta area within the last year, you have to do a legal ID within 5 minutes of:00, although if it's 5 minutes before, or 5 minutes after, its okay.
ADD diagnosed by temperment, and ADD diagnosed by disfunction of certain centers of the brain, are pretty different.
Pick up a book about the neuropsychology of ADD from B&N some time, complete with CAT scans. They tend to be written in plain english and using good structure.
While I agree that some ADD is diagnosed to make an unpopular behavior into a medical problem, there is a non-trivial portion, probably even a majority, that is in fact organic in origin.
Now, that's a great quote, and very applicable, but if I recall, it was taken out of context. In the original, it was talking about Federal welfare programs.
Before Office 2003, e-mail addresses were just text, some where auto-hyperlinked.
In version 2003, E-mail addresses and web links have a "hover" menu for their smart tag, allowing you to look up, add to contacts, send mail or files to, the address in question. It detects the normal text is an e-mail address and turns it into an object with properties and behaviors.
That's pretty interesting, in my opinion, and I like the feature a lot.
in Europe, instead of numbers being written xxx,yyy,zzz.ddd, they're written xxx.yyy.zzz,ddd which, honestly, I find to be a bit more clear, if different from how us Americans usually write.
They warranty the device as shipped. If you screw with it, even if you are legally permitted to do the screwing, they don't have to help you out with it.
They didn't say don't do it. They said if you do it, it probably won't work, and we're not going to help you fix it.
There's salvage yards around here that deal in scrap....pretty much anything. I think one pays 42c a pound copper, 30c a pound steel, 22c a pound iron, something like that.
It's been shown (although I can't quote the source at this moment, since I can't seem to find the citation in the textbook) that there is a "certain kind" of personality which is especially susceptible to religious ideas.
It's the difference between, for instance, being *convicted* of a belief, and just going along with it because it's advantageous to you, or because everyone else is.
Orthodox Judiasm contains provisions for Kosher preparation of foods. This is decidedly an arbitrary religious imposition, designed to lead to better hygienic practices in the preparation of food, so people don't die from disease. It's not a far stretch to say that various other religions arose with similar precepts, as a method of saying what you should/shouldn't do more authoritatively than a king or chief could.
Uniform fields don't do anything bad to you but alternating ones do.
The technique of applying a high-intensity magnetic pulse to a human's brain to produce a neural disconnect is called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
You, sir, just discovered transcranial magnetic interference.
It's used by psychologists/neurologists to produce a "temporary lesion" of the brain tissue directly under the scalp, by disrupting its ability to form an electric field with an extremely strong magnetic one.
The effect dissipates pretty quickly once it's removed (especially for a small magnet like that one -- medical TMI/TMS uses huge magnetic blasts that deactivate or disconnect the underlying cortexes for hours) and are both temporary and harmless.
They've been used to prove things like, if you deactivate the portion of the brain that processes data from your eyes, you can no longer form "mental" pictures of objects, either.
Trademarks are applied in specific domains. Tiger, as used by your local zoo, is not the same Tiger as the computer companies are using, or as a textile company, or a shipping company, or an airline, would use, despite them being spelled the same way.
Well, I can't say I'm a huge fan of TigerDirect, as they have fairly high prices, I *have* bought some more esoteric parts from them, as well as before NewEgg.com came out, and I've never been disappointed.
I'm also not a fan of Apple, as I absolutely hate using the 10.3 Macs we have in the lab here in our library.
However, this should be pretty clear-cut. If TigerDirect, a computer-related company, owns the trademark on Tiger, as applied to computer products, and Apple has been using that trademark without permission, then TigerDirect should be granted damages.
Especially since, I doubt them having the trademark on Tiger is a new thing.
I went into Georgia Tech with the intent of being a CS major because I absolutely loved CS as a hobby, and figured a degree in CS would be a good way to make "mad money"
Right about my senior year of high school is when all the Indian programmers started taking American jobs.
I realized half way through my first year that there's no point in my doing CS, I despise higher-level mathematics, and I'll not make any significant money anyway.
So I'm switching schools and changing to Psychology, which I at least find *interesting* to study academically, and I'll probably make the same amount of money after graduation, anyway.
The first one worked reasonably well, but I fried it by accident (Although the friend I gave it to, later revived it, apparently.) The line-in for recording never did function, though it was advertised as workable.
The second incarnation had a shittier user interface, the "record your own mp3s from the input" port was blocked off with plastic, and it would repeatedly and randomly crash.
It gave up the ghost one time, refusing to turn back on. The company refused to honor the warranty, despite only being 2 months old.
I threw it as hard as I could against a wall and bought a CD walkman. Later upgraded to an iRiver.

Do it manually.

I dunno, it seems to me it'd be almost less hassle to get it shipped.
I'm not a huge wine fan, though.
If you're not old enough to buy wine in a store, you can have it shipped to you?
That's kinda neat.
In such a case, x and y *are* descriptive variable names :p
in Europe, instead of numbers being written xxx,yyy,zzz.ddd, they're written xxx.yyy.zzz,ddd which, honestly, I find to be a bit more clear, if different from how us Americans usually write.
That is one thing that bothers me insanely about Firefox, and I only have 2 or so extensions.
The fact, that they're changing their plugin API's behavior in the middle of a very, very minor revision number, is so completely unacceptable to me.
I'd use IE, but it doesn't have tabs.

Divide by 2 if you want them to pick it up.
Probably could get $200 from them for that stuff.

Hmm, how about $0.10 for every person who's ever searched for the word "tiger" on Google?

I write PHP modules for various thing, usually following some API or other.
ExtractLatestSongFromRSS($rss)
I always use very precise terminology for what I write.
For instance, if I'm writing a script to parse music information from an RDF file, I'd call my functions something like
XMLFetchRssFeed($URL)
ParseRssIntoArray($rss)
that sort of thing.
XMLHttpRequest style function and variable naming.
For code only I will ever view, it's descriptive enough.
If I recall correctly, Google attempts to preload result #1 into your browser, so there's no load time.
This is both good and bad.
Christ I hated those.
I had a Pine hard drive player. Two, actually.
The first one worked reasonably well, but I fried it by accident (Although the friend I gave it to, later revived it, apparently.) The line-in for recording never did function, though it was advertised as workable.
The second incarnation had a shittier user interface, the "record your own mp3s from the input" port was blocked off with plastic, and it would repeatedly and randomly crash.

I tried to install Debian...it wanted to know the horizontal sweep frequency of my LCD monitor, in kHz.
I hit the reset button and wiped the partition.
FC3 didn't ask me that question (although FC3 blows in a number of other ways.)
