well, an ATM that you don't stick a card in, that gets moved between location and location, stored at 3rd party locations at times, and which you can't tell whether it gives you your money or not.:)
I burn 2 copies of everything, an archive, and a "for use". If I start to have trouble with a "for use" disc, then I have two options:
1) Get my archive disc out, and re-burn a new copy.
2) Copy whatever files I still care about (some old stuff can die, some can't) to my harddrive, treat as new data, and re-burn on ANOTHER two discs.
Also, when I RAR anything (backups of dvds or large file repositories, for example), I use the option adds 8 percent parity to the file.
This is similar to your fancy-schmancy "par" tools except it is proprietary to WinRAR. But I figure: If 8% of my disc is unreadable, getting 100% of my data back would be pretty damn cool.
What helps the most, however, is having 5TB of LAN space.
and if i put you in a room with 10 doors - and 9 cause you to get your dick cut off, and 1 causes you to get your head chopped off -- nobody is forcing you to cut your dick off. You have a "choice".
If there were no lawyers, people would represent themselves. Whenever there's a demand, someone rises to the supply. It's better to have them regulated safely than with no regulation at all. Look to the War On Drugs for a perfect example of supply meeting demand. All drug dealing violence is a result of the lack of government regulation; alcohol doesn't have these problems. (But it did during alcohol prohibition. See Al Capone.)
Bob Barr doesn't deserve to be on the ballet. When Washington D.C. had a referendum on medical marijuana, and the voters overwhelmingly voted for it, guess what happened?
Bob Barr, whose constituents were GEROGIA not WASHINGTON D.C., blocked the vote by refusing to allow D.C. to have the federal funding necessary to count the votes. (Which was later found to be less than $2.)
Yeah. This guy blocked democracy, and now he's going to whine about not being on the ballot? What a snake. He did a 180 because he's a chameleon. He deserves nothing, and the Libertarians have lost me. Looks like I'll be voting for Nader. Ugh.

I don't get how they know which resonances are the perfect ones to capture, though... Did someone just arbitrarily decide that? Does this coincide with music theory at all (octaves, harmonics, etc)?
Every number I plugged in could be measured as a length between 2 numbers in that set. But according to wikipedia, no perfect ruler exists for over 5. And this has 25. So it's not perfect.
So does anyone have a list of numbers that can't be measured as distances between these? I'd rather not calculate it myself.
I don't have an xbox360. It's a very, very, very distant priority. Plenty of amusement left on my PS2 without spending more money. I can't even play Guitar Hero because I'm too busy playing Culdcept.
Seriously?! Is this a new feature? I thought I checked that avenue out thoroughly 6-12 months ago.
I have a USB-form-factor dual-PS2-controller converter I got from Lik-Sang (before they got legal-fragged) that should work quite well with my PS2 Guitar Hero guitars.
I don't look forward to bringing my guitars up and downstairs depending on whether I am on the downstairs PS2 (36-inch SDTV) or whether I am on the upstairs computer (52-inch HDTV). In fact... Hmmm... Can you convince my why taking my guitars upstairs would be worth it? Is it just to save the money on the games? Are there any non-financial reasons?
I guess... Making my own songs would be one -- can I do that?
I know I can look this up but I'm never gonna. And this info could be useful to other readers. So tell me the scoop. I'm interested and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
okay then - your phones are private. your calls are being broadcast over phone lines. So why do warrants exist at all? Gee, maybe because you're wrong about this:)
not true. i think it's good form to add an else, even when the conditions you've programmed don't cause it to ever happen.
You never know.
And mine have definitely come in play for my personal stuff, which I change as-needed. change how an input value is processed prior to the if? the conditions are different. the else that never happened before might happen now. better to print a warning message and at least let the user 'trap the exception' than to do nothing...
No. They are not. The point blank told me you're not allowed to run bittorrent. Period. It's a bot. They point blank told me if I download more than 100G in a month, I'll be terminated. (I was pushing 250G/month.)
You just have a home invasion rate double that of america, because criminals can act with impunity. The rise in knife crimes is more likely a delayed response to the gun ban, than to a kinfe ban.
They actually threatened to charge me a $300 early termination fee if I blogged about it -- despite the fact that it was they terminating me. They did eventually tell me flat out -- 200G a month or you're out. But this was after months of harassment. They also said they consider bittorrent a bot, and bots aren't allowed to be run on their service. I have screenshots of the whole pre-sales chat where they lied their asses off too -- because I am a distrustful person:
Honestly, Iâ(TM)ve finally gotten to a point where Iâ(TM)m tired of the âoefreedom of speech doesnâ(TM)t mean you can run into a crowded theatre and yell fireâ. I actually think that should be protected speech. This is extreme, yes.
If the idiots in the theatre trample each other in a mad rush from a fire that doesnâ(TM)t even exist, it was their own stupidity and lack of clearheadedness that killed them, not the person shouting fire. If your reaction to the mere threat of danger is to hurt others, you are the culprit.
For example, think of George Costanza in the episode of Seinfeld where he throws the old ladies in their rockers to the ground in order to rush to the door. Are you going to tell me it was the messengerâ(TM)s fault? NO. His behaviour was deplorable and his panic was his own fault for being a non-clear-headed individual willing to hurt others just to preserve himself.
If someone tells me there is a fire, I am going to at least look for smoke so I can figure out what direction to flee. And I am not going to trample people unless I actually see a real fire about to burn me up and itâ(TM)s me or them. But trampling people just to get out when thereâ(TM)s no actual fire? Simply because of a panic? I think thatâ(TM)s far worse than yelling âfireâ(TM).
I know I am unique in my extreme opinion.
I think painting speech as potentially physically harmful has a chilling effect: Just look at the whole Cartoon Mohammad thing for an example of that.
âoeWords can hurt, so you canâ(TM)t say words [or draw cartoons] that hurt.â
The censoring of Mohammad in this weekâ(TM)s South Park was a perfect example.
Anyway: Words donâ(TM)t hurt people. People hurt people.
Learn to think for yourself, and mere words will never be able to physically hurt you.
The idea that everyone must mindlessly follow whatever words they hear, in and of itself is a dangerous idea. Should we panic just because someone told us to? No. Should we panic if the loudspeaker tells us to? Maybe. Should we panic if Fox News tells us to? Quite likely. But before you go tramping people to death (and thus tramping our free speech rights by being too much of a moron to think for yourself), consider whether you are actually on fire. Dumbass.

What about when you chat with pre-sales people and they tell you you can use 100% of your bandwidth 100% of the time, and then Speakeasy terminates you for downloading too much. Happened to me.

so i guess that means... we should be able to invade any country that we want, as long as it has chemical weapons?
Isn't that most or all countries that have a formidable military?
And by the same logic, every nation on the planet would be justified in attacking us, too, because we are one of the largest stockholders in chemical weapons. We were the ones who gave Iraq most of there's too. We're the source. Much like American drug war runs military operations in nations that supply drugs, shouldn't other nations that want to stop weapons of mass destruction be running military operations on our soil?

The Wikipedia page says One practical use of Golomb rulers is in the design of phased array radio antennas such as radio telescopes. Antennas in an [0,1,4,6] Golomb ruler configuration can often be seen at cell sites. Does this mean we can now construct larger antennas with greater sensing power, using fewer materials, due to knowing a larger optimal configuration than previously?
