As an employee who has worked in environments that have those little perks, like soft drinks, entertainment activities, and other such things, I can say that the number one perk that can be added to make employees more productive and happy is flex hours. Allow your employees to choose their own starting time, with core hours that they must be at work, and it instantly becomes a much better place to work. When the employee feels like they have some control over small things like that, it makes them much happier and more productive. The free soft drinks are nice, but that only seems to work at small companies.
I was on jury duty in Michigan and the case I had to sit in on was a "home invasion" case. We were instructed that there was no such thing as breaking and entering any more, it is now called home invasion. It can be either second degree or first degree depending on if anyone is home when you break in. It also does not matter if the door is wide open, if you enter someones home without permission it is home invasion. But to get on topic, it really doesn't make sense to try to create an analogy for theft of WiFi, and theft of property. They are completely different. I will agree with previous posters that say if the network is unsecured and open, then it should be implied that the operator of the device wants to let his neighbors use it. But if they take the time to secure it, then they don't want to share it with everyone else.
I read the article and it stated that the crater in question was of a lower resolution with different lighting angles, taken from a 1994 image. So that does hint at some sort of deliberate manipulation. But with that said it is still entirely possible that it was an accident, or one of the images was bad and they used a bit from an older image to try to recover. How really knows besides the people that did it? I do know that I do not trust the Chinese government though.
Before you start saying things you know nothing about, maybe you should checkout their website and see for yourself. They do have room for the groceries, but not for the kids.
Being an electrical engineer, I say "The sqare root of a negative number, so what?" We do it all the time. Sqrt(-1) = i. Some would call this imaginary numbers, others call it complex numbers. I prefer complex numbers because imaginary implies as if these are not true numbers, only something made up.
Or continue calling them "French" fries and "French" toast. I hear that the French hate it when Americans put French in front of something like that. As for calling them chips, we would then have to start calling our chips, crisps. I don't think we could Americans to start doing that. But I think it is a good idea. Heck I even call German Shepherds Alsatians out of respect for the Brits. True most Americans don't know what an Alsatian is, but I educate them.
You are a dumb ass. The current path goes through the air, then through the human. That makes the two resistances in series, so this is a voltage divider, not a current divider. May I make a suggestion that you actually draw the current path as a circuit, with the human being one resistor and the air being the second resistor and you will see that we are talking a voltage divider. Using your H1, and A1. The current would be V/(H1+A1). You didn't even show the voltage in your equation. You need to go learn Ohm's law, v=ir, then reread what you posted and see how stupid it looks.
I just have to bite on this one. A transformer does not give you any more power, it will only change the voltage and amps. If voltage goes up amps go down. Because the watch chargers do not produce enough Watts, a transformer is going to do absolutely nothing for you.
Set a man a fire and he is warm for a night. Set a man afire and he is warm for the rest of his life.
As for the bug if the username/password authentication portion, if it is something that is passed between the client and server, then they could have easily reverse engineered the bug with everything else. The EULA agreement though is interesting. Maybe I should start reading them before I just click I Agree.
I have the same problem with my Satellite. Something in it is overheating, but only when I run Windows for some reason. And Toshiba keeps sending it back saying there is nothing wrong with it. At first I thought it might be a driver issue, but I have all the latest drivers from Toshiba, and the latest BIOS. Nothing seems to stop it from overheating. The funny thing is, it only overheats/locks up when I use IE or Netscape/Mozilla. I haven't tried Opera yet, maybe I'll try that tonight. The other thing is that the fans actually turn OFF when running Windows, they only go to a low speed with FreeBSD and Linux. I doubt I will buy another Toshiba for personal use, because of the poor response that I have received from tech support. I had to return the laptop and get a new one three times when it was new. The other ones had pixels burned out on the LCD, even though it was just out of the package. One also had a bad firewire port. But I just boot to FreeBSD if I need to do anything besides play a game, and it works great. So maybe it is not hardware, just software, but Toshiba should put out a patch for the buggy crap they have.
Offtopic!!! WTF, this is right on with the post you replied to. Some moderators don't know their ass from their head. And they can obviously type with one hand as they are complusive wankers. Maybe that is the problem, they have been at it for so long they are starting to go blind and can't read anymore.
I think someone at AMD has been smoking too much crack. At the worst it would set the MICROSOFT computer world back to pre-Windows 95. Which would be about 1995, or seven years. The *nix world would not be set back one bit. And as far as I'm concerned, as long as I can run FreeBSD and get it to do everything that I want, I am a happy camper. So MY own personal computer world would not be set back at all. Game developement would continue on just fine, in fact I would expect alot of development companies to switch to Linux, which would be a good thing. I just lost some more respect for AMD. I like their processor, but this type of FUD is unnecessary.
You have never seen a fat32 file system shit itself when power is removed? I have had to actually go in and reformat the drive on 2 occasions when my Win98 box lost power. The computer would not even power up with the bad drive connected. I had to boot from a floppy and format the slices that check disk and scandisk would not even think about fixing. Like I said this has happened 2 times to me in the last 3 years.
I have also see an NT4 install shit itself when installed on NTFS and the power removed suddenly. But in fairness I have also seen several Linux installs, and a FreeBSD install do pretty much the same same. It is just a matter of being unlucky. But my computer I use at work right now is running Win2000 on NTFS, and there is a hardware problem that causes the computer to lock up requiring a hard reboot. Even with these quite regular crashes I have never had any file system corruption on this machine. Just lucky, I guess.
While you are correct that the "standard" 2600 joystick had the button on the left corner, the left handed joysticks had the buttons on the right corner. Also there is no cable coming from this joystick, so you can not tell which side is the top. That means that the button could very well be in the correct location, you just can't tell because there is not cable to indicate that.
Its not that tricky to keep all of someones friends from giving one guy a bad rating. You must have actually played a game with the player before you can rate the player.
This system sounds appealing to me. I could see someone who is accused of cheating because he clobbers everyone, and know that it will be a challenge to beat this guy, because he is either really good or he cheats. So then I can either accept a challenging game or not play against this person.
But it is so easy to sign up for accounts on most systems that if someone is accused of cheating too much they can just create a new account and start with a fresh rating. But overall a system like this would be good.
I would take that one step better, and say that your frig. could read the transponders and know the optimum temperature to keep that compartment, thus making your food fresher for longer. Also your cooker (oven, toaster, microwave, etc.) could read the transponder and know the optimum cook time and temp. for that hungry man dinner. Then when you are done, recycle the transponder for a $0.05 refund, similar to cans/bottle in many states.
I am an engineer with a systems integrator, and I can say I have used these sorts of things many times. Many manufacturing plants use an rf tag that transmits a signal when excited with a certain frequency. They also have the ability to write to the tags as well. These tags generally have to be real close to the transmitter/receiver in order to work, and they don't work quite right if more than one tag is in range. Since all the transponders will most likely resond on the same frequency, there is going to have to be some tricky decoding going on to capture all the transponders within range.
As for privacy, I don't see the problem. Like has been pointed out before, you just remove the transponder when you get home. Heck they could even have a transpoder return program similar to the can/bottle return in some states. Then the transponders can be reused and cut costs even more.
Idoit or not, that doesn't really matter, mainly because if the author changed it then its not your fault that it appeared wrong to me. What I think we can both agree on is that the author really needs someone to proof read his articles for him, since he obviously can not do it himself. I mean correcting one mistake and "anding" another, come on.
WTF article did you read? The article I read said:
mov C, A
add C, B
The first command moves A into C in order to preserve the value of A, and the second command ands the two numbers.
With a three- or more operand format, like many of the instructions in the PPC ISA, you get a little more flexibility and control. For instance, the PPC ISA has a three-operand add instruction of the format add destination, source 1, source 2, so if you wanted to add A to B and store the result in C without erasing the values in either A or B (i.e. "C = A + B") then you could just do:
add C, A, B
First actually read the article and make sure your dyslexia isn't acting up before you post something that makes you look like a complete idiot.
And yes the article does say that the second instruction ands the two numbers when it should say adds.
I completely agree with this. Playing video games can be a fun "hobby" but you should try to find something that gets you out to interact with people. Like maybe RC racing or something like that. Just the interaction of other people will make the hobby you choose much more enjoyable. Or if you are really into people, try to volunteer at you local soup kitchen, or shelter. This can be a very rewarding experience, and you will appreciate your place in life much better after doing it. I might be a EE, but most of what I do is controls work, system design and programming. So I like to build electronic devices, you know from op amps, transistors, diodes. I have learned more about electronics after I graduated than I ever learned in school.
So I agree that unless you LOVE programming, you should not really have anything to do with computers as your hobby.
Yes, but by protecting the terrorist that commited the act, it is as if they commited the act themselves. Don't forget that every aid worker that is over there now knows the risks and dangers of being there. They know that there is a possibility that they can be blown to tiny bits, even by friendly fire. If they did not accept these risks then they should not have gone over there in the first place. As for the innocent Afganistan people that are killed, I am truely remorseful for that, but it is war and sometimes these things happen. I'm not saying that it is right to kill civilians. Great care must be taken to prevent the loss of innocent life, and I beleive that great care has been taken. If the US and allies were not as careful as they have been the death toll would be in the 10,000+ range in stead of 100 range.

And with a range of about 112 miles this would be perfect for many people as a second car. But the price needs to come down a bit.
Then get out there and purchase one. Here is a link to it. http://www.cateyefitness.com/GameBike/index.html

I thought the same thing, "Damn, a week late."
Until I went to CNN.com and did a search on the village and found similar articles from February and March. Plus articles from many different sources.
