If you hypothesize a flatter planet then it seems definitely possible that the whole of it could be covered with water, assuming that your hypothesis holds.
Why would you make such assumptions? The Bible specifically says that the waters flood to higher than the tallest mountain and states that Ararat existed and was where the ark landed. If you're going to claim the world was flatter then, then you diminish the biblical account in order to rationalize it.
Why is nobody considering this possibility: Ararat was named because, at the time, it was deemed impossible for anybody to go up the mountain to verify the claim, and that so large a ship landing where nobody could possibly go would be a wonder only possible through divine intervention? Just as peoples had stories of sea monsters beyond the horizon (where we couldn't go) or under the seas (where we couldn't see) or above the clouds (where we couldn't verify).
I think hiring "lower" jobs on degree is fine. Hiring higher jobs on degree is stupid if you let it become a major obstacle to people who may have a ton of experience, but no degree.
That's the one obstacle I've come across time and again in the last few years. Employers look at my resume, see what I have done in the last 15 years, interview me and then turn me down because I don't have a degree. Or, they turn me down up front because I need a degree just to be considered. The two most successful jobs I've had have been with companies that couldn't give a toss about degrees and went with the person with the ability to do the workload.
Some local cafes have free wifi for customers too.
Here where I live there's a shop called Cafe Cyclo that has great coffee and food, a quiet atmosphere, and free internet access, both wired and wireless! When my kids are home from school (I work from home) I go there, get wired on coffee and crank out some of the best code for my work! <g>
You could install Cooperative Linux. It lets you run Linux under Windows
I would love to use it (I'm tired of running Linux under VMware and having to deal with the overhead and performance impacts on WinXP) but can't get the fecking thing to compile. CoLinux calls for packages from Microsoft in order to build CoLinux that aren't available for download. And their website has no documentation.
Say the installation screws up, or I don't like it; how could I get Windows CE back on my iPaq? Any takers?
Install BootLoader first. Even if the Lycoris upgrade fails (I'm assuming it uses BootLoader; that's what I use to install Opie on my iPAQ) BootLoader will let you put a new image on top of it, including the original WinCE image you backed up (assuming you *did* back it up).
Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. I'm interested, though, in the details of the OS image on the device. How is it different from the current Series 40 devices?
AFAIR Nokia was the first cellular phone maker, who introduced combined phone and PDA (Nokia Communicator). It wasn't maybe "lightweight and thin", but the times were different.
Don't forget the 3650, which has MP3 hardware, digital camera for capturing images *and* video, Bluetooth, PDA features along with Outlook integration. The 7600 is just a different form factor. Hell, I'll bet it's even the same (though newer version) of the OS...
And, isn't the money spent in transmitting the data for each page's photograph going to add up to more than the cost of the book? Seems that it's more of an attempt to get away with something dishonest than it is an attempt to avoid paying money. Like paying someone $2k to steal a laptop that's for sale for $1k...
The same commercial claims that you can feed a starving child for less than 13 cents a day. Try not to believe everything you see on television, especially from people who want to paint a dire picture in order to get you to part with some of your money...
The United States is a democratric republic. The representatives are elected via a democratic system of popular votes. They in turn represent their constituents (in theory at least), and vote on major issues in favor of the majority of their constituents.
The President is not elected democratically, but is instead elected via the electoral college system. This system ought to cast votes that represent the popular vote for their district, but are not required to do so. No President is elected by popular vote, which makes it not a pure democratic system.
Not in any BASIC I've ever used (Applesoft, Integer BASIC, TI BASIC, Color & Extended Color BASIC, Atari BASIC (& Microsoft BASIC for 8-bit Ataris), etc.). You use PRINT to generate text output. Maybe it's valid syntax for Visual BASIC or something like that...if it is, that would explain why VB bears as much resemblance to BASIC as INTERCAL bears to BASIC.
I'm thinking more GW BASIC, APPLE & IBM PC[jr]. On all of those platforms, it was available. Also, on the ATARI I seem to recall the same, though at the time I did more assembler than BASIC programming. I didn't do much with the TI or CoCo computers. I've never used Visual BASIC so couldn't respond there.
It may be that the versions you've worked with were lacking the keyword or that you just never used it? Do you have references to documentation for those versions that list their completely keyword set?
J2ME isn't a product. It's an umbrella term for several different technologies. What most people are thinking of when they thing "J2ME" is the MID Profile. The MIDP does not contain 3D graphics in either version 1.0 or 2.0 of the profile specification. With 2.0 the introduction of gaming APIs was made, but these APIs provide layered graphics, sound and such APIs. Nothing 3d.
I believe they were the first in fact, on a US iDEN phone a couple of years ago, which hosted it on VxWorks.
Yep. The lead for the expert group that created the MIDP specification (JSR-37) was a Motorola employee. The first handset released with MIDP on it was the Motorola i85s, back in 2000.
Do you know what Java's original purpose was? Go read up about the Green Project and Oak (Java's original name). It was _intended_ to be a language that ran on a virtual machine so that the same code could be used on different pieces of embedded equipment without having to rewrite or recompile the _application_ for each platform. Create a VM for the new platform and all existing software works straight away.
Wonderful. I go to their website and get some lame-ass "take-over ad" that just keeps trying to redirect my browser to a different webpage. Anybody have a working link?
Some engineers at my old job did similar naming jokes; calling local variables "Kenny" (ala South Park) since they were killed everytime the function ran, and "ShelbyvilleIsEvil" and the like. The problem was this code was being given to the customers and such variable names are, quite frankly, unprofessional.

Didn't you read the article? It says right there that it runs VxWorks...
My impression was that he printed it out and signed it, then put it in an envelope.
VERY retro! So, what do you do with it then? Do you scan the envelope and email that to him? <g>

Man someone should doctor up this photo so that Slashdot would have two borg icons... we could replace caldera with the SCO-mcbride-borg adaptation...
Nah, not the Borg. Either the Ferengi or the Pakleds ("you are smart...we look for things that make us go...")
I don't wear pants as it is...
But, then again, I work from home and only go to the office once a month...
Send picture of girlfriend and bike. Which do you ride to work?

Some references available online:
PRINTLN isn't a valid command, but it'll get interpreted as PRINT LN, which will display as 0.
What are you talking about? println is a valid BASIC command.
Will they have any of the others kids as well? Who will play Eewie, Gooie, Rich and Chewy? Well, we know who's playing Chewy at least...

Buy a VCR/PVR. Then you can watch it whenever you want, and even keep it around to watch again and again...
