Heh, I like the way you think. I guess to be really funny you could store flash cards and the like inside those drives, and put them inside the computer for really safe keeping.:)
Why not dismantle those drives and use them to store your spare parts and other assorted treasure? That way they don't go to waste and you can clean up some of your clutter at the same time.
But, I've gotta say, I think this approach favors 1) people who've recently had programming classes where they cover general algorithms and data structures, 2) programmers who tend to think at an abstract level, whereas what I've found to be a more typically useful skill is the ability to translate business requirements (ie, what the customer wants) into code.
I can't agree more. I've done quite a few interviews over the past few months and solving coding questions on a whiteboard never seemed to make much sense. In my 5+ year career, I've never written code that way, so why should it matter whether I can remember particular syntax on demand? What if you cannot design a workable system? Thats the important question to answer before hiring an engineer.
Image processing is performed on images coming from the periscope, not on sonar. We currently use a standard Intel box with Linux loaded on it to do image processing, as well as sonar processing, etc.
Then nobody would die, and only vehicles would explode! And whenever something bad was going to happen to you, one of the Joe's would come around and teach you how to stay safe! Oh what a wonderful world. "And now I know...and knowing is half the battle!"
Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's top game developer and a senior managing director, said ``F-Zero'' would allow someone to take a game stored on a GameCube and put it in an arcade system, allowing the player to resume a home console game on the arcade machine.
I remember this capability was existent with the Neo-Geo system. Does anybody else remember (or have experience with) this feature with the Neo-Geo?
I recently cancelled my DSL service with Verizon, and (luckily) didn't have to wade through the mess that AOL and Earthlink gave. While I had to wait on hold for a few minutes, the customer service rep was very nice. She asked me why I was cancelling my service, and I simply told her I was moving. "Do you want us to set up service at your new location?" No. "Ok, hope you have a nice day." I don't think I could ask for much more out of a cancellation transaction. I'm glad I didn't chose AOL or Earthlink for my DSL at my new place (I chose Speakeasy, their customer service has been top notch so far) Thanks for the heads-up.
Unfortunately, at least as your TV is concerned, there is no easy way to get the output on the TV with the Linux kit. It comes with a video output for a monitor, but it won't display on a TV as packaged.
I work for a D.o.D. contractor, and we have been porting a lot of our *nix software over to PC's running Linux.
While Linux isn't used for any critical systems (neither is NT/2000), it is being adopted for many other types of systems (instruction, etc).
We do most of our development on Linux machines, although we are forced to use Windows boxes to do administrative junk (#@$! Outlook!)

Its ok. I got all excited because I actually design/write the image processing software for subs. Its nice to feel knowledgable once in a while...

Ah, no I meant the Memory card saved-game transfer mechanism between the arcade and home systems. :)
Sorry to confuse you

I would tell myself to run more, go outside more, and to get contacts asap!
Or at least get some non-dorky glasses....My poor pre-teen self.
