  1. ritalin on Neural Feedback Training as Therapy for ADHD? · · Score: 1

    I was on It, I think grade 7 to mid grade 8

    I preach that "Think" because I don't remember.
    I honestly don't remember much of those years except for lunch time with my friends.

    How is that for a "don't do it to your kids".

    I'm 20 now; I was around 13 at that time.

    if we know what makes the glue, we can stop making ships out of "teflon" and start making them out of "anti-muscle-lon"

  11. flame on. on Dealing with Mac OS X and NetInfo Problems? · · Score: 4, Informative

    evil weblog
    "DirectoryService: NetInfo connection failed for server 127.0.0.1/local."

    "The solution was to restore the Netinfo database."

    NO. the solution is to turn off "Net Info" in the Directory Access program located within /Applications/Utilities folder.
    If you are trying to athunticate to a non-existing netinfo daemon in your domain, your going to get problems.

    Turning off that option relieves the problems hinted at in this link. Please sirs, try this instead of blowing away your net info database, When I first got my powerbook 12" I had this same problem. I realized later on that I clicked "Net Info" in the Directory Access program, and it was trying to auth to a non-existant server.

    I also loved FF8, howver, more of the story line. I first played it and gave up after the first cinematic fight. Then I picked it up a year and a half later, and used the game shark. Best few weeks of my life between work. It was a really long movie.

  22. Re:NOT reverse engineering on Reverse Engineering an MPEG Driver · · Score: 1

    To quote the coward:
    This is absolutely reverse engineering. He took a finished product (a video driver) and took it apart to figure out how it worked and described it in a higher abstraction level.

    You are, however, entirely correct in that this code is still legally tainted because it's a port of VIA's copyrighted binary code into a human-readable higher-level language. And the way to free the driver software would be to write a complete interface specification and have someone else implement it from that.


    How does converting this to a Higher Level Language differnt from writing in a book what he's done?

    If the author does not copy the code, yet learns from it, how does that differ from the auther reading about it in the book and learning from it?
