procrastinating until the last responsible moment can require discipline but it helps ensure you are making the most informed, wisest decision.
sometimes people are unable to see the difference between reflection, consideration and procrastination, which can make this technique difficult to apply in some situations.
albert einstein wrote a fantastic book titled "Relativity: The Special and the General Theory" that describes relativity without the heavy math. lots of examples. great stuff.

He set up a vertical post at Alexandria and measured the angle of its shadow when the well at Syene was completely sunlit. Eratosthenes knew from geometry that the size of the measured angle equaled the size of the angle at the earth's center between Syene and Alexandria. Knowing also that the arc of an angle this size was 1/50 of a circle, and that the distance between Syene and Alexandria was 5000 stadia, he multiplied 5000 by 50 to find the earth's circumference. His result, 250,000 stadia (about 46,250 km) is quite close to modern measurements. [He later altered this figure to 252,000 stadia. ed.]. The formula Eratosthenes used is: D/d =A/a. Where d = distance between Syene and Alexandria, A = 360 degrees assumption of round earth, a = shadow angle of vertical stick, D = to be determined (circumference).
walter/wendy carlos was my first introduction to electronic music. sex change and identity issues aside, walter/wendy carlos recorded some very incredible music in the late 60's and early 70's with a multi-track and a moog modular synthesizer. all analog baby. beautiful shit. these two albums are required listening:
if you have line of sight, get two high-gain dishes, two bi-directional amplifiers mounted at the antenna and some LMR-800 coax running to your 802.11 card. you'll have to come up with a way of interfacing the coax with your 802.11 card. get creative with a soldering iron and it shouldn't be a big deal.
i don't know what the legal power limit is for the 2.4ghz public band...but as long as no one complains, chances are you will have no problems.
we are spending $40 billion/year to fight the war on drugs. WoD clock
prohabition should be lifted, addicts should be given free drugs & warehoused and the $40 billion/year should go towards paying all teachers six figure salaries.   the competition would weed out the shitty teachers and crime would drop.   as a side benefit, the gangs would go bankrupt.
What is truly corrosive, though, is the lack of respect for the profession.
why is this?   is this completely undeserved?   in my experience, the minority of teachers are dedicated and do the job because they love it.   the majority do it because they are not capable of doing anything else (or getting a degree that requires hard science classes).
You would never, ever think of telling your doctor, "Well, I could do your job if I wanted to take the time".
that's right, because YOU COULDN'T!!   anyone with a basic college education could teach grade or high school with a little preparation.
summer vacation, minimal responsibility (compared to an engineer working on a multi-million dollar project) and an easy degree is why teachers make small salaries.   period.
personally, i think all teachers should be paid $100,000+/year. the competition would weed out the shitty teachers and our children would be better educated.
we could take the $40 billion/year spent on the war on drugs and use the cash to pay teachers high salaries   WoD clock
these people are trying to get real work done and are getting jerked around by russian ground controllers. calling them "grumps" misses the point entirely.
imagine being up there and having to rely on crappy tech support to get answers. the frustration would be intolerable. wouldn't you be livid as well?
i get 4 email accounts with my dsl. i set up all 4 and only used 1. within a week every mailbox starts filling with spam. how is this possible if i never used the other 3 addresses for anything???
the only possible explanation is pacbell sells their customer's email addresses to spammers.
or a spammer owns them (yeah, right) and is silently grabbing their customer's info.
anyone out there have another possible explanation? i'd love to hear it.
if crusoe could give laptop computers a substantial decrease in power consumption, every laptop manufacturer would be jumping at the chance to make a crusoe based product.
this is not happening.
in reality the cpu is 10-20% of a laptop's power budget. this savings is not enough to justify the risk of introducing a new product with no track record.
crusoe is best suited to run devices with small screens and no hard disk like a high powered palm or a web pad...not a traditional laptop.

this is female soap opera crap. don't even get wrapped up in any part of it.
imagine how fun it would be to see everything your neighbor does and sees!!
my neighbor is big into porn, now i can get all i want for free!! only problem is he's a homo.
don't bother. no one has ever asked me for one. a degree is nice but it is also optional.
if you are the shit, the right people can tell. your resume of experience is enough. and that's all that matters.
i don't know what the legal power limit is for the 2.4ghz public band...but as long as no one complains, chances are you will have no problems.
this place has everything and it's probably all legal
this place has lots of cloices for high-gain antennas and good prices
build your own bi-directional 2.4ghz amplifier!!
802.11b tips and tricks from o'reilly
I took the exam on the 22th
you took the exam but you don't know what class of license you need for 50MHz and above? WTF?!
frequencies and status of all amateur satellites, updated weekly
a technician class license will give you all the ham bands 50MHz and up.

lots of teachers completely suck, that's why they are all treated like children.
lift prohabition, end the war on drugs, take that $40 billion/year and use it to pay teachers six digit salaries.
the compeition would weed out the shitty teachers and our country would be a much better place.

they are stupid and lazy in general but they can do good work occasionally--one of 'em fucked a woman and made linus.
i masterbate every night to a hardcopy of vi's source.

domain names like guinnessbeersucks.com should be legal. until this problem is addressed, we are all slaves.
