Well, it has. So I go to this assembly'02 site and find a link to The Scene.org and start looking around. Man there is some slick stuff there. And archives that go back to Future Crew's 2nd Reality. I can remember getting that to work on my 40 with my Gravis Ultra Sound.
Anyway, just brought back old memories. Now my chip is up to 59C.:)
I do. ATI All-in-Wonder 8500 DV with RF Remote on the same computer as my Logitech RF Cordless Web Mouse. No Problems Whatsoever.
I'm sure they use some low level packeting, and I tend to be channel surfing when I'm using my Remote control so I'm not normally using my mouse. I've never noticed any issues.
I gots me one of them there ATI 8500 All-In-Wonder DV cards and I have to say I love it.
Two complaints tho'; 1. The TV window has to be the active window for the remote control to work 2. I've had instances with the scheduled recording feature where I've set up the event, closed the scheduler interface (The scheduler still runs in the background), and when the time comes to record the program an error pops up saying that another device is using the tuner.
Somewhat frustrating, but over all the device is a lot of fun.
A similar donation was made in 1970 by Judith Merril to the Toronto Public Library. It's a reference library so they don't lend books(bastards).
A contemporary of Asimov, Leiber, Pohl and others she donated around 5000 items. The collection is now about 57000 items; Novels, Anthologies, Essays and more. What's really neat about the whole thing is that it's housed in a standard Toronto public library and anyone can use their services.
I've often gone into "The Zone" when programming. I feel like I become god-like in my powers and that there's nothing I can't do. It's quite an experience. It seem to require lots of current knowledge of the language, target app, specifice tools, etcetera.
And getting into the Zone while programming tends to be more productive that getting into the zone while playing a video game.:)
Well, I wish I could have made it out - tix to see Austin Powers. If the Riv was too loud, try the Belcher accross the street. They've got some of my favourite beers on tap, Trivial Pursuit boxes all over the place, and an atmosphere more conducive to conversation.
Announcements were made in a very informal manner in CmdrTaco's journal. If you make him a "friend" and set up your messaging you to can get this info.
Well, it looks like there are plenty of meetups in the T.O. area, but I've already got tickets to see Goldmember tonight. Who's brilliant idea was it to schedule it tonight?
I know some Germans who play Starcraft online. They hate playing the Koreans because they are so good at the game. Stands to reason that they'd do just has well at other games...
Reeve is out for obvious reasons - unless you modded him into a synthespian. But even while I liked Keaton as Batman - I wasn't to keen on Reeve as Superman - I don't think either of them would be good in this sort of movie.
I see the premise and I can't help but think of Miller's "Dark Night" books and wonder who could fill the role. I could see a - much - younger Brian Dennehy playing Batman.
But what about Supe? There were rumours a year or two about abut Nick Cage putting on the red cape, but I just couldn't see that. Chris O'Donnell is aging well. Maybe someone like Vince Vaughn. That role is a tougher one to fill.
Or, I've got an even better idea... Let the west and Quebec VOTE THE SAME WAY. I know, it's a radical idea, but if Quebec, Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC, and Manitoba all vote for the same party, the Liberals are screwed.
That already happened. It was called the Mulroney Government. Soft Quebec Nationalists and Western Conservatives. If memory serves they weren't any better, and maybe even worse, but most certainly divided in the end.
Somehow I don't think we'll see that pairing again; Duceppe and Harper are not likely to be sitting down for cappucino any time soon.
That being said, the one irony that makes me grin ear to ear is that both Harper and Day were born in Ontario.
Hey, I just thought it was ironic in a cool way that your sig could have applied to the subject (ie Linus is an Ethnic Swede from Finland who's first language is not English).
What's neat is that you can say "if something goes wrong with a kernel compile, blame the guy who can't speak English. Ah, Linus, how many times have you saved my butt?"
IANAL, but if memory serves any contract involving a minor is non-binding. The only way it could be binding is if the contract were made on the minor's behalf by a legal guardian. That being said this should be obtainable for Finlay Dobbie.
But this brings up an important question in my mind - should we be getting minors to buy and install all our software? Would that allow us to ignore all the click-through licences?
My experience with IBM has been that they use function point counting to determine the size of a project. that was part of their RAC process. Oddly enough it was created in 1977 by an IBM'er. More info can be found here.
As for using KLOC's; any easily quantifiable measurement will be pounced upon if it has the slightest relationship to accomplishing goals. A finite number of lines of code are needed to complete a software project, therefore the PHB conclusion is that the number of lines of code is a measurement of the project itself.
I've never used Remote Access. I do have a Win2K box running with a TS client on my XP box.
Right now I'm using TS and VNC to access the same session on my 2K box. Responsiveness is close, but the TS Client updates more smoothly when I make changes in the VNC window than the other way around.
That being said, I'd love to be able to hook into a Linux box. The only downside is that it seems requires an active session to connect.
I used it to control a buddy's computer and set up the software to allow him to take over my machine in turn. I had no problems getting it running - other than doing the IP forwarding thing on my firewall.
I understand it works for all sort of machines, too. Take that microsoft terminal server!!!!
The fact that it's free, performs the same functionality as TS but works on multiple platform means that it totally rules.
While the idea of competition is one I approve of I also don't mind Ottawa giving the cableco's a leg up so that they can compete with the telco's (at least until their capabilities become more even.). The result is darn cheap broadband relative to most other jurisdictions around the world - I pay just over $43CDN after tax, or about $27. That's for 100 Mbps up, 900 down.
It's one way of reducing the impact of the barriers to entry.
In my area there are also condo projects that are going up that have mega internet access built into the project with the ISP owned by the developers. They've got some big, fat pipes. That might be an option for you if such a thing exists in Northern CA.
Up Here (In Canada) the cablecos don't have to allow competition while the telcos do. I think this was to allow the much smaller cable companies the chance to compete against the much larger phone company monopolies. While the type of pipe might be hairsplitting the "difference" probably exists to give the cablecos a fighting chance as I believe the US situation is similar.
The downside for ISP's using the telcos infrastructure is that the telcos still have awesome economies of scale (like being able to offer DSL modem rentals for free).
As for deregulated pipes: if the cost of entry into the market is reasonable then you'll have competition. Otherwise you'll have local monopolies and be at the mercy of "the man."
Could google extract Whois info and IP Address ownership info to determine if linked sites are related? I don't know about the IP Address info but the Whois info could probably be extracted by a spider. Eliminating internally linked sites would be a way if revising the rankings to better reflect their value....
Assumption: That ITV company has done something in an attempt to remove that Canal+ competitor from it's market.
This site seems to have a lot of commentators who are/were for leniency in the prosecution of Jon Johansen for the DeCSS crack. It was a case of a clever coder revealing the weakness in a big business content protection scheme for narrowband media. The resulting broohaha looked like using a nuclear device to swat a fly.
Now we have a potential situation with many similarities. One entity may have revealed weaknesses in another's content protection system. It's a system used to sell content to a wide audience. The Owning entity can and has lost control of their content as a result of the exposure.
Is one of these cases Morally OK while the other Morally wrong? Is Goliath cracking Goliath so bad if fly cracking Goliath isn't so bad?
