No. Its wankers like you who refuse to accept bandwidth managment as a valid solution (to a very real problem) and force others to look for less friendly options.
Back to the topic, why not just use something like newsgroups/usenet? Everything is cached locally on the ISP so they dont have to pay for out of network bandwidth. Everybody wins. Compared to Usenet, BT is downright wastefull.
Actually, birds mice and rats not considered animals under certain laws, this was done in order to make it easier to experiment on them. So while its all nice that they can complain about ferrets, PETA wouldnt have a (legal) leg to stand on for rats.
Yea, I read that article too (Scientific American, last month or so).
but Video games were the control, it was Virtual Reality (3d gogles, wind, and gloves to interact) that was foud to me much more effective than nintendo wich did very little to relieve the pain.
Perception of pain is very narrow, like a spotlight, if there is a distraction the brain does not actually feel the pain.

Your point on grouping into rebels/social outcasts almost hit the mark with something I've noticed.
Men tend to view things around 'experts'. In order to find my social standing, It is vitally important for me to know my relation on who the expert is in a given context. Its' a way to keep track, socially. A simple thing such as asking/giving advice (Sometimes it is essential that this be done discreetly, in a backhand way such as 'talking _about_ something'. This seems to add even more confusion with the other sex) can be viewed as a transaction of this social currency. It is a way to show we know and negotiate who is an expert.
It seems the way to keep track socially for women is instead based on trust, respect, and responsibility; basically how good you are at guessing somebody's needs. Things done without saying are highly valued. It's a way to show that you were thinking about them, or care about the other person.
I have most experience with the first system, but I'm sure it would look just as strange as the other system looks to me.
These differences would tend to drive the guy's into a more specialized role that you pointed out. It's no surprise that this fits our classification for a career such as CS. Its not that a woman can't do the same job, but maybe they don't get as much out of it. Its easier for guy's to put in the effort it takes to be very good at a few things just because we gain so much socially from it. Looking at it that way, the women who succeeded in this field have put far more effort than us guys have.
Not left handed but I have a very strange config, left hand mouse, right keyboard (kepad). Nearly every kepad i've found always key locks when holding down 0,8, and 9. The nostromo would be great, but I never got a straight answer about a right handed one. Sure, you could use it with your right but its made for the left.
While looking for another cording keyboard, google turned up the frogpad. I like the look, might even buy they bluetooth version so I can use it for with a PDA. Apparently there is a gamming version out soon so i'm waiting for that.
How well does it stress test with multiple keys pressed?
I've found that every keyboard I've owned, (besides this CHERRY(tm) and an old giveaway) always keyblock me when I use the keypad. Since I heavily use the keypad in my gaming config I'd like to know if I can jump and fire (9 & 0) at the same time.
Does USB fix this?
Anyone remember starcon2 melee? It had a nice utility that reports the keys pressed so you can find the ones with conflicting scancodes.
In discworld the force is placed directly on the magicians brain, so you dont really want to be lifting anything big or else you get a very bad headache.
Strangely (probably intentionally) discworld 'magic' of all things, seems the closest to behaving properly from a physics standpoint. This from a place where light travels like molten gold over valleys and mountains... well not exactly molten since it would literally burn everything in its path. I think the final description for light turned out to be peach syrup.
The finished product. I installed it with Windows 98SE, APE (Atari Peripheral Emulator), and WinDVD. Also, for fun, I installed "drempels" for a psychedelic desktop. Forget dremples, Geiss 2 just came out. Thanks for the heads up.
Ever read diamond age? Gota love Neal Stephenson for his insight.
First off, if your thinking about self replicating combined with nanotech, its not going to happen anytime soon... we still can't get it right at the macro level let alone micro or nano.
"protocol" - diamond age defined protocol as something that weighs enough not to float into airliners (eg plastic bags stronger than steel, thinner than air) and as levels of nanotech that are safe for humans. "toner" - in short nanotech smog. When people decide to violate these protocols and generate a ton of stuff floating around... a big problem when they get stuck in lungs and cause asthma. "feed" - An utility really. Where all the material for making stuff comes from, and the tech to put it all together atom by atom. We have nothing like the feed right now, just high-resolution silicon lithography.
Now, nanotech _designed_ to kill is another thing, and we are fairly powerless to stop it. I'd still be more worried about biological pathogens right now (and more about an antibiotics shortage than engineered bacteria). Life is fragile, but its not like mankind doesnâ(TM)t already know how to kill itself in multiple ways. ( US WMD? )
It also means "house", but I dont think thats what he meant.
Seriously, the japanese borrow words from english all the time. It goes the other way too, but not as often. Otaku is an example of this, and its english meaning is "enthusiastic anime fan".
Thats probably the idea, keep what you dont need fast access to away from your ultralight handheld.
I wonder how the power usage is factored into this, on my laptop using 802.11 nearly cuts the life in half, on the other hand if you dont have a spinning HD to worry about... Maybe put a small firewire port in there and you could extend the life some more when you really need it.
From the chronicles of Mixerman: (good read, funny)
"Alsihad is a very popular brand of recording software and hardware
that uses a computer for editing takes. It is a very intricate program, and it requires a trained expert to operate it, called an Alsihah."
As liquid flows through the channels, it is heated by the chip and begins to boil, producing bubbles of vapor. Because the buoyant vapor bubbles are lighter than the liquid, they rise to the top of the tube, where they are cooled by a fan and condensed back into a liquid.
I see two things that might be a problem
-The chip needs to be at the boiling point of the liquid, maybe not a problem (freon anyone?).
-What happens when the CPU isn't pointing up? (e.g. on a motherboard in a standard case) Will it overheat because the bubbles don't "rise"?
I'm sure a ton of people were thinking about Napster and other p2p's and 'stealing' content from the artists, but what about the bandwidth side of the issue? Bandwidth (primarily upload) is the only true resource on the 'net, and yet it doesn't follow the laws governing a natural resource (you can't really run out of it). In a world where information is valued in and of itself, and the economy is based on how quickly that information can be moved around, what ethical issues come up within the community?
Bit torrent and other social engineering Why are people more likely to leave that window up? Is it right to induce selflessness through selfishness? Does its simplicity detract frome the community? Bandwidth management (and cheating) Limiting is a good thing IMO. There are arguments that bandwidth limiting can be abused, but would anyone really care if it didn't affect them and could help others? There is also the issue of hacked clients (I'm a DirectCconnect user, and it is nearly impossible to use it w/o a hacked client) Giving vs. Trading Are ftp's with ratio's a good thing? Does the one-sidedness of IRC send the right message? Usenet slant When upload bandwidth no longer becomes an issue, other things come into play like retention time, side effects of flooding (e.g. modem users cant download in time), etc. ISP's capping, quotas, throttleing, Terms of use, Async connections. Are these the right tools to use now that p2p has become the killer app for the internet?

very well put, If only I had mod points.
About time somebody mentioned Lorentz.
I just wanted to see how fast it would run on my new quad 9M Itanic2 box.

Maybe the problem is that 'respect' is an entirely different concept from a male prespective. In CS the difference is just magnified for some reason.

Finally! I agree, just didn't know how to say it. The link says it all.
The issue isn't about Legos, its that the English language (or any language) is constantly changing.
Any language that doesn't is dead (e.g. Latin).

a huge host file on win2k is not always a good thing
Now I know why I read /.
What about a revolving door? Sounds like another cat/buttered toast invention in the works.
Seriously, back on topic(?). It seems they forgot about Alsihad.
