why don't the/.erc just patent 'innovative ideas' as a concept, and then we can reap all the benefits of everything in the world and just live forever on the royalties!
goddamn those bastards for trying to charge for.gif, and these new bastards for following suit with.jpg
now using php you can't even create.gifs on teh fly cause of that BS...
Bahhhhhhhhhh!
i post'd a msg about dis thang 6 months ago, but da msg didn't go live:(
it's purdy kewl tho. Integrated bluetooth and 802.11b as well! that'd be da shiznit!!
It doesn't give you what you're looking for right away -- it mixes it all in with advertised links and misc nonsense.
If you want it 'your way, right away' Google will remain King of the Hill.
ok, the thing is that heatsinks increase the surface area of the cpu (that's why they're all spikey) thus allowing them to radiate/release more heat over the larger area... so ya gotsta keep da heat sink, yo. *maybe* the fan could go, but not the kitchen sink.
all you people who post about linux instead of the topic are just silly billies.
I love the johns.
During the Sunshine Tour I got to see them in Michigan and happened to find out that afterwards they'd be doing an intimate show at the local Tower Records... price of admission: canned food for the needy. Off we went to the supermarket:)
I got to sit on the floor of tower records, front row... and watch the Johns & band play. It was awesome. My friend Ben adn I even reached out pre-show and touched the coveted accordion. Whooooa. Been lovin their stuff for years now.
John Henry made me scared that they may turn mainstream... but that fear passed as their lyrics stayed insane. Phew!
Here's to all the johns.
Checkout this website too... they did the soundtrack for it: www.ChoppingBlock.com
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I teach web design, and one thing i find is that a LOT of my students are not programmers. They just want to make pretty web pages. They might not even know that it requires programming. Some don't even know how to use computers very well.
So, I have to start very basic. I get them to look at the source of a webpage (like google or soemthing). Then I point out that it's all just text. Then I get them to open up Notepad.exe, where we'll stay for the first 8 weeks before graduating to Homesite.
Then I describe what H,T,M, and L in HTML stand for, and what (exactly) mark-up is. I compare it to an english essay that you hand in, and when you get it back, the teacher has "marked it up" saying "new paragraph here" or "italic" or "bold" here.... she's not telling you to change the content, just how it appears.
Then I teach them 1 tag at a time and the well-formedness rules. After they type it in, they look at it in the browser. They understand it that way.
After completing all of the basic xHTML tags we move on to CSS and start emphasizing the separation of data and presentation.
Then we do css layers/positioning and @media types, even further separating data & presentation.
Finally we do javascript and dHTML. This is full-on scripting. Data and presentation layers are separated (for the most part), and I can now introduct the idea of variables (which I relate back to grade 10 algebra x=1, y=2, therefore x+y=3), looping, conditional structures, and functions.
For 16 3 hour classes, this gets them from point zero to understanding the basics of scripting, as well as all of the details required to make a site with css-p that will validate under the strict xhtml dtd. For beginners I have no doubt that "doing" is much more powerful than "talking/thinking about".
No, that's not the real JonKatz. It's Jon Katz. I'm sure that the real JonKatz (author of geeks etc and frequent slashdot author) would never put www.goatse.cx as his URL. If you go there, you'll know why. Somebody wanna ban this doppleganger?
Not sure about the universe, but the earth is running on Cytoplasma-ware 1.0
Runs on organic processors and chips, though some internal linkages are optical and auditory.
It is a fully multi-processing, multi-threading operating system with well over 6 billion processors varying in capacity. The amount and speed of earth's RAM is so large that it's not worth worrying about. It creates its own long-term storage devices out of oil (tar/coal/fossils), trees (paper), and metals (hard drives). All vary in terms of how long they may store information, but there is some redundancy in that metal and paper based storage tend to store information about/encased in all other types of storage.
Special features include fuzzy-logic, lots of artificial intelligence, some actual intelligence, integrated expert systems, genetic algorithms.
Of COURSE Microsoft is going to encourage offloading everything from independent circuits/chips and onto your CPU!!!!
That means you need a faster CPU, and the more processor YOU have, the less clean they have to be with their code, because, "hey, what's a few extra cycles?"
Also, do you really think they're not being monetarily compensated for this????
Here's a scenario:
Grove: "Bill, can you pleeease start making everyone use software-based components?"
Gates: "Sure, if it'll help your sales, and if you toss a Bill-ion or two my way"
Grove: "Money's not the issue, it's the availability of good hardware-based systems... while they're out there, we don't sell as many CPUs"
Gates: "Ok, so we'll just recommend that for maximum stability designers should create components that are software based, and which use our APIs"
Grove: "Great! Thanks Bill! You're Swell!"
Gates: "Ohhhh Andy...."
--smooch--smooch--giggle--noises from behind the curtain...
I think they need to modify the firing interface so that when the pilot looks at a target, he must view it through the space between his first finger and thumb, such that it will fire when he "crushes" the target!!
I see you, I crush you! CrUsH! cRuSh!
>>Important in the ruling were the facts that Kazaa does not rely on a central server, and that it is not bound to music or video files alone.
I *knew* those other options had to be there for a reason... legal cover!;) Seriously though, i've tried document search, and if everyone would share their writing folders it would rule! i mean, you could search for "The Feebles" and find essays people had written on the topic... S'also good for finding cereal numbaz N such.
Hey Anonymous Coward,
You're right, P2P is more than just bashing the RIAA etc... it is a whole way of thinking, beyond "information should be free"... It's almost like an addition to the saying...
Information wants to be free, BUT In order for information systems to work at all, we must tend to their problems and optimize the 'bad code'.
I just finished an article, which happens to be on a related train of thought at Shift.com called "P2P Terror: The People Are The Network" and the subheading is "Although the RIAA won the war on Napster, peer-to-peer file sharing survives. Now the U.S. is going to war against a decentralized terrorist threat. Can they win?"
I'd really appreciate some feedback, so Checker oot if you can at P2P Terror
thanks:)

>>A 75GB . . . making trading over the Internet >>impossible..
;)
AS IF! If you can record D-VHS, you probably want to be able to view it again at some point.
If you can view it, then you can record it again, in, say DIV-X
If you can translate it into a codec-ified file, then you can trade it.
AND BE SURE about two things:
Hard drives will always get bigger,
and internet connections will always get faster.
