By no means am I an EE grad, student, or even an electronics hobbyist, so I very well could be wrong, but the hack seems simple enough, and the site is/.'ed, so I can't compare notes. You probably have a 12V DC circuit in your car, and The wire colors on CD Audio cables explain themselves... what do red and white mean in audio components? In electronics, what does black mean? There, you figured it out.
This is something that is painfully obvious, although few, if any have actually done it before. With the right phrasing, you just might be able to pull off a patent on the idea.
Palomino was intended to be a lower power chip than the current Thunderbirds and older K7/K75 Athlon chips so that they could finally be used in laptops. Intel's best mobile offering is a 1GHz Pentium 3 -- AMD's is a 1GHz Athlon 4.
At work, we *used to* have a few pockets of SourceSafe... now everyone uses StarTeam. It's pretty decent for anything, whether it's text or binary, and the integration with NT domain user authentication is nice, too.
Sometimes it really sucks ass and eats a file or shows you the wrong status, but for the most part, it's great, and it's much more prone to error on the user side than it is with the client or server, and in most cases we have artists, not writers or programmers to blame for that.
One of bender's stated goals was a database abstraction layer that should (supposedly) account for MySQL and PostgreSQL, if not more. I haven't the foggiest if that came true or not.
We all know that if there are thought police on any/. subject anymore, it's User Friendly, as I can see from your present moderation total.
Of course, I don't think Friends or 3rd Rock From the Sun are very funny either, but apparently millions of other people do. The things that pass for humor seem awfully subjective.
In the future, even Photoshop will store its data in XML, and there will be 15 overlapping DTD's for any data you want to exchange. I don't think it's any different than the proprietary Netscape tags that "ruined" HTML and spurred the creation of XML in the first place.
85% or more of all Linux users have Windows at their disposal, but relatively few of them are willing to be forthcoming about it. Hemos and CmdrTaco are not alone.
The ISP I used to work for was founded in 1995. Shortly after that, they standardized on Slackware, and they don't intend on changing their distribution just to "stay with the times". Six years and several thousand users later, I'm sure that they're running it on more than the three boxen they started with...
There is a reason for the Preview button. Why didn't I use it? Fragments of the comment make sense, but they don't convey my points, and they don't come together. It looks like I'll be turning myself in to the grammar and composition police...
In any case, what I was trying to say is that those two words are homopones -- sometimes.:)
In speech, I say that something is greater "than", or less "then", although I'd spell both instances t-h-a-n. I think part of the problem is that lots of people learned to read phonetically, and it poisoned their ability to spell later on. For a similar reason, I continue to stuggle with C -- I learned programming with BASIC.
A larger issue is the fact that "th" exists in the first place. It's not a natural phonic, because if it were, that sound would appear in many more languages...
Homophones are everywear. The words aren't spelled the same, and one has a different meaning then the other. Its knot so hard to figure that out, and ewe are suppose to learn that in elementary school.
Back in my leaner times, I eventually developed this notion of a relationship between costs and benefits, along with the cost of consumables.
When I started looking for removable storage in late 1997, the Zip was $US 150-200, and Jaz was much pricier. A decent SCSI burner package, including the controller, was $600. Then I figured: Hey, I can store more than a GB on CD for about $4, vs. $150 on Zip, or $100 on Jaz!
A couple hundred CD-R's later... I'm definitely happier without that stupid purple drive.
If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use? Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens? -- Seymour Cray
I don't think we need an analyst to tell us that the P4 is a big load of crap. Any informed individual knows this already, so I suppose this is useful to IT managers?
My mom works for a city hospital under the Mayo Health system umbrella. Does that qualify her and all her coworkers to have @mayo.edu email addresses?
"correcting" TLD's to have true classifications is a Bad Thing ®. IMO, it will create more problems than it fixes. Was Andover.net really a network provider? Slashdot probably doesn't make any profit, so couldn't they technically remain a.org, and if not for that reason, be grandfathered because the original intent was nonprofit?
As far as I'm concerned, there should be dozens of generic TLD's with no REAL classification, and just a handful that are actually meaningful --.edu and.sex (or.xxx) come to mind right away for me.
Furthermore, to make these rules even handed, wouldn't this also mean that.edu's would be ineligible to register other TLD's?
and my butt smells and I also like to kiss my own butt. I'm just going to post like I don't get it. Is this real? Why can't/. post more articles about aliens? Boy, lots of places are posting weird news today. I believe everything I read on the Internet.
AFAIK, the only things that have really happened on this day in history was the announcement of a certain endless OSS project three years ago, and the resignation of a certain lead on that project...

I've long since given up the notion of one hard drive make being better than another. Every major brand has died on me at some point or another.
