Spot checks in nwn are done automatically once per turn. If you enter the 'detect' mode, they are done twice per turn and the cost of half movement rate.
The geothermal process is clean if it is a closed system. Water is piped down to the heat source and back up again driving a turbine creating electricity. The problem is vent gases from the geothermal sources which can be malodorous at best and highly toxic at worst. So everything is ducky as long as they can contain the nastiness from the heat source.
It's the instantaneous rate of change of the installed base, so when I said net, I meant the # of new installations, - the number of of people deleting their linux installations. So we're kinda both right. It's the instantaneous net rate of change.
Wait wait... deaccelerate? OK i know he meant decelerate but hang with me a second.
If L is the installed base of Linux, then dL/dt is the net rate of adoption. and if you were to decelerate the adoption, then that would be a negative value of d2L/dt2. But he said de-accelerate which would be a negative value of d3L/dt3, but a positive va....ok I'll go back to sitting in the corner and muttering to myself..
Maybe I got hosed, but I saw the IMAX version of Episode 2 at the IMAX at the Tech Museum in San Jose. Among other issues, the sound was the worst part! Explosions were cool, but in any medium or close shot, the voice did not match the position of the actor.
On the plus side, the opening scene rocked and Natalie Portman's 20 foot tall breasts weren't that bad either...
You don't even have to go back far enough to invoke Godwin here. In this country COINTELPRO is the most egregious disrespect for privacy outside of say, East Germany.
As an addendum on the search and seizure, if you're targeted on a drug raid, they can seize ALL of your property BEFORE any due process. The property is then auctioned off and depending on the state, the funds can go directly to the police budget. To top it all off, even if you're exonerated it's an uphill battle trying to be compensated for the theft. Posession being 9/10ths of the law or some such nonsense.
I love my country, but I'm frustrated enough to move to Canada. It's just that if I don't fight for my country, who will?
Are you trained in a manner consistent with civilian training? By that I mean do you have an MSCE or other cert? Would Pvt. W.T. Door pass those tests after having completed the 17 week training course?
Just curious, what kind of training do you get before you took over as sysadmin? Just wondering as I see you're a pfc. Have you been in 2 years? Is army promotion that slow? Were you busted down?
Printing for me is a vital part of the proofreading process. For those who write things other than code, going through lines and lines and pages and pages is much easier with paper and a red pen than it is on the screen. as always, ymmv.
Those of us who are old enough to remember when the Berlin Wall crumbled in 1990 know to credit Ronald Reagan with killing Communism.
Uhh, no. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the eastern bloc communist states had much more to do with Gorbachev and the untenable nature of a command economy than Ronald Reagan. As romantic as it is to believe his "tear down this wall" speech was a determining factor, it really wasn't. If you're looking for heroes in this arena, try Lech Walesa first.
Greetings:This is the Secretary of War at the State Department of the United States We have a problem. The companies want something done about this sluggish world economic situation Profits have been running a little thin lately and we need to stimulate some growth Now we know there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police and damage private property. It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job It's about time we did something constructive with these people We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together- And start another war The President? He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro Napalm People running down the road, skin on fire The Soviets seem up for it: The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years. Hell, Afghanistan's no fun So whadya say? We don't even have to win this war. We just want to cut down on some of this excess population Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can. We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle and send 'em on their way Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland? Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America? We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East-we need that oil We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up. I tell ya That man is unreliable. The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right. Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply. So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam. We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. Kept the war functioning just fine It's easy. We've got our college kids so interested in beer they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, they wouldn't even know what it looked like So how 'bout it? Look-War is money. The arms manufacturers tell me unless we get our bomb factories up to full production the whole economy is going to collapse The Soviets are in the same boat. We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!? That's excellent. We knew you'd agree The companies will be very pleased.
And not even really then. Since the Spanish American War at the turn on the century when we acquired the Spanish Empire we've been sticking our noses all over the place: China, Philipines, Central America, you name it. The American public might have been interested in staying out of wars, but the military was very active in the first half of the 20th century.
I am an ignorant American. Can someone tell me the gist of the whole deal down there? There's an eerie silence in the American media, but this story seems huge! A coup? Tacit American approval? A general strike in one of the world's biggest oil exporters?
Can someone please point me to a good synopsis of the last year in the country?

So what you're saying is that Ireland is the Sacramento of Europe? How terrible for the Irish!

Not only does Canada have a navy, but they are very popular when they pull into American ports. Why? Canadian warships have booze on them!
I know not these things, but given an 8bit value range of 0-255, wouldn't the i++ iteration iterate 255 to 0? Then it's an infinite loop?
The search for smoking code has failed. Now is the time to withdraw the inspectors and use force...

I find your lack of server bandwidth disturbing...
Dude, you're going to a lan party. Skip the extra clothes and the hygiene supplies. You'll fit right in.

No, I'm in my twenties and I have excellent vision. Maybe I'm just old at heart...

Ok, I admit to adding 6 and 7.

Napalm

It will end when we realise that Bush is a 'switcher' and that windows is the OS of choice among those "who hate us"
