They don't have the "memory-effect" but youhave to be sure to completely drain and completely recharge them at least once a month. Otherwise, the charge capacity will drop significantly.
Ah, the joys of Level 1 Support, also known as "If it's not in our checklist, we can't fix it" support.:)
Generally, the first thing you do when you call support is ask a question that you know couldn't possibly be answered in their checklist, and ask to be transfered up the Support Chain.
Right, forgot about that one. First time that happened I flipped. Had umpteen lives, then died... Game Over. WHAT!!:)
Had to try and figure out just how long to stay on that turtle to get enough lives to find everything in the game, without getting so many the game would end.
There are others, too, like World -1, the underwater level that never ends.
I didn't say the original comparison was done on my equipment. I don't own (or know anybody who does) a 6-head VCR. That comparison was done at Future Shop using their floor DVD, VCR, and TVs.
Heh heh, it was so fun running around SMB with Mario being small, but with fire power. Anytime you shoot, he'd grow big, shoot the fireball, then shrink again.:) Sucked that you couldn't break blocks though.
Oh, and having bowser kill you, but not losing a life and still finishing the level was always fun.:D
Head over to the FreeBSD website and read the Porter's Handbook. That will explain everything you need to know to get it added to the ports tree. It's actually quite simple.
I have Shaw digital cable, my cousin has a Pioneer or Panasonic DVD. I spend a lot of time watching digital channels (all the good shows are on the US Superstations and movie channels), and over at my cousin's watching DVDs.
There are a lot of DVDs where the VHS version looks better on our 4-head VCR and ancient 19" TV (no RCA inputs) than on his DVD player and new 21" TV. And there are a lot of movies that look better on VHS than on digital cable.
It's like comparing digital cable to analog cable. Personally, I find the pixelation and compression artifacts in digital cable to be worse than the odd bit of fuzziness in analog cable.
Digital formats are nice, but they aren't automatically better than analog formats.
A good VHS recording, played back on a 6-head VCR, displayed on a nice TV actually does look better than the same recording done on DVD, played on the same TV.
They need to find a way to get rid of all the damn pixelation and screen re-drawing that goes on in DVD players and digitial cable/satellite.
We had a chemistry teacher in high school who wrote all his own text books and notes (even published a few that are in use in other schools). He had a competition on in his classes to see who could find the most mistakes in the notes. Talk about cheap editing.:) And a great way to see how closely people are paying attention.
The winner was supposed to get a free pizza lunch at the end of the year, but he forgot, so I got $10 instead. Was so nice to know I paid closer attention to detail than the resident 4.0 genius.:)
I used to get in trouble for having my hand up with the answer before the teacher had finished writing the problem. "There's no way you know the answer, you haven't written anything down yet."
I used to fight with teachers over showing work, because I tended to group multiple steps together. Why show 10 steps to solve an equation if you can do it 4?? Got to the point where I would write a generic example with all ten steps at the top of the page, then just put a note "See example at top of page for all steps" on my tests. That didn't garner me any extra marks.:)
Showing your work a few times to show that you grasp the concept is one thing. Having to show work for every single problem for 3 weeks is overkill.
Hear, hear. We definitely need to shift the teaching focus away technology, and onto learning. It really bugs me to see classes being taught MS-Word in elementary school, as opposed to "wordprocessing topics", for example. Or how to use Internet Explorer, as opposed to how to use the web for research. We are moving more and more toward an application-specific teaching system, and away from a skills-based teaching system.
I definitely agree that we should pull computers out of primary schools (K-3), possibly out of elementaries (K-7) completely. Let's get the basics down pat (reading, comprehension, logic, math, science, research, language) before moving onto the extraneous bits like how to use Windows, or how to tear down a PC. Leave that for the IT classes in junior/senios high.
I even see these kinds of problems in the local college. No longer are the students being taught how to program, or how to diagnose hardware issues, or even how a computer works. Nope, it's all "push this button", "tweak this knob", and so on, for specific apps (mostly MS).
Then why don't they publish both? The number of tickets sold will tell how popular the movie really is, while the amount of money brought in will keep the execs happy.
It would also make the comparisons against older movies that much more interesting. "Sure, ET only made $X million dollars, but it sold Y million tickets, more than any sci-fi film since."
Hmmm, I'm betting you haven't been to the website, then. There's *a lot* more to this than just a new packaging system. Actually, the packaging system is the *last* item on the todo.
DragonFly is about testing out new, possibly better ways of doing things in the kernel. SMP, VM, IO, devices, virtually every subsystem in the kernel will be redone.
Read through the website. It's in fairly easy-to-read English, and covers all the goals of the project.
Don't consider this a fork in that you'll have a new OS to play with next year. Consider it more of a skunkworks to test out new ideas and methods using the 4.x codebase. Who knows, if it's good enough, it just might become the basis for 6.x, or we could see most of it get merged back into 4.x and/or 5.x.
Because the base OS is part of it, the included third-party software can't be updated using it, because there is no version built into it.
Those are the main reasons that several different projects have been started over the years to replace the port tree. Unfortunately, none have come to fruition yet.
It would be really nice to have just about everything included as a port. The installer would install the kernel, the shell, a few utilities, and the like, just enough to get a running system. Everything else (MTA, DNS, DHCP, extra shells, programs, etc) would be a port.
That's the goal of the various projects. Hopefully Matt can make it happen.
In the early days of the Matrix they experienced problems due to free will and people wanting to have a choice. Certain minds could not accept the Matrix because they had no choice in the matter. These were the first people to be known as "The One".
Overtime, the machines devised a method of keeping the human mind content -- by offering them the choice. They could choose to live in the Matrix, or they could choose to live in "the real world" and fight against the Matrix. Hence, the red and blue pills.
What the humans fail to realise is that they are still within the Matrix. They believe they are in the real world, but that belief is the very chain holding them in the Matrix. The Matrix is multi-leveled.
The Architect explains all this (without actually calling the real world The Matrix). And, if you recall all that Morpheus tells Neo in the beginning of the first movie, it all makes sense. Add in the whole "something isn't right, I can feel them" scene with Neo and the Sentinels (reminiscent of Neo and the Agents from the first episode) and it all starts to come together.
It's my thinking that Neo is in a coma simply because his mind has figured out the truth, but he refuses to accept it (similar to his thinking in the first episode). In the first movie he had to die to accept the truth. Now, he just has to put himself into a coma to accept the truth.
There are all these lists of "The most popular movies of all time"... based on the gross they brought in. But, how does one compare a movie that grossed $20 million 20 years ago with one that grossed $20 million today? Or even one that grossed $20 million 20 years ago with one that grossed $200 million today?
Box office stats are worthless and meaningless as the metric they are using is a moving target. They need to pick a unit that doesn't change in value or meaning, like number of tickets sold.
I've got very strong tooth enamel, never had a cavity, don't have problems with plaque or tartar, have fairly straight teeth, and so on. IOW, I have never had a problem with my teeth.
Two days into the Whiteneing Strips programme, and my teeth ACHED!! Even just breathing through my mouth hurt. Had problems chewing for a bit. Had to switch to a one-day-on, two-days-off rotation to keep the pain away, and never used more than half the strips in the box.
I highly recommend people don't use these things. Whatever is in them feels almost like it is eating away at the teeth.
However, the Whitenening Strips made my teeth ache if I used them for two days in a row. Had to switch to a one-day-on, two-days-off rotation.
The Whiteneing Gel works ok, but you have to let it dry on your teeth without you tongue or lips touching your teeth (takes about two minutes). That was a real pain.
I also tried another one that had used a gel and a tooth mold. That one didn't work too well, and it really made me salivate, which made a mess. Stopped using that one after a week.
I still think the best bet is to get a job with dental coverage, and get a good scrubbing done at the dentist.:)

RH works great with 4 GB RAM, so I'm really hoping your comment was tongue-in-cheek. :)

Would that be under appetizers or desserts?? :) And do we have to leave a tip if it crashes during the meal?
Just curious why you chose WebDAV over Samba/Netatalk for doing this.

And the reason they were rejected was???? Did you try to convince them otherwise, or just wander off in a huff?
What's the PR number?
They just removed perl from the base, and now you want them to add python??
Yeah, that's going to happen Real Soon Now(tm).
Because the base OS is part of it, the included third-party software can't be updated using it, because there is no version built into it.

Well, you can get Windows inside gas pumps, mobile phones, PDAs, PVRs, DVRs, tablets, computers, servers, laptops, and photocopiers. :)
Dude, you need to learn to type. :) Even when correcting yourself, you still got it wrong. :D
