I'd rather than like to see a cooking book from a chemist. These guys knows the difference between concrete and whipped cream.
That would be none other than Robert L. Wolke (http://www.professorscience.com/), professor emeritus of chemistry and a syndicated food columnist. Look for his cooking books on Amazon.
Thanks, just what I was looking for. I also downloaded the "xine-mozilla-plugin-0.2-040910.rpm" package and dropped a copy of "xineplugin.so" into my Firefox plugins directory. Except for my bandwidth limitations, everything works exactly as it should for playing Quicktime streams.
How much of what I had to do is considered illegal by the MPAA? I noticed when I was googling for one of the Xine RPMs that all the hits were outside the US borders.
Sorry, but I have to ask again. Is there a GPL'd free Quicktime plugin for Mozilla/Firefox yet? I am only finding a suggestion to buy Crossover plugin and run the Windows version which I don't want to do. Is there any other way?
I can buy a fixed-focus B&W monitor camera for under $100. And I'll bet Wally-World's cameras aren't on az-el mounts either. So the wiring to the bubbles probably costs more than what they pay for the cameras - it'd be a shame to leave a camera position empty to save a few bucks.
I gotta ask... whatever happened to Matrox? Did they fall off the edge of the earth? What about Voodoo and the others? What is wrong with this industry that we've only got two viable choices left in video display cards when it comes time to buy a new PC? Even in the Windows world, that's a horrifying thought, that the video market is so close to becoming yet another monopoly that we'll have to deal with.
I have a dozen times more choices in what to wipe my butt with after a dump. I guess you're better off being an asshole than being in the computer biz....
I got to meet Mr. Doohan at a Star Trek convention almost twenty years ago. He was the guest of honor at that one, and I learned some interesting things about him from his monologue. Most TV viewers are familiar with his Scottish brogue, but he was a master of literally hundreds of accents - he could do a Texan's drawl just as convincingly. In the original Trek series, he did many of the voice-overs and sound effects for the robots, computers, and aliens in those episodes. And he is also credited with the invention of both the Klingon and Vulcan languages. A very talented gentleman. I was glad I got the chance to meet him.
Everytime these same DOJ guys bust someone with a kilo of marijuana, they always estimate the street price of that 2.2 pound brick at $2.5 million - in other words, what the guy could get if he sold it a joint at a time on the street corner for $10 or $20 a roach. These Feds can roll some really skinny joints of toothpick dimensions, eh?
They probably estimated the "street size" of this P2P collection the same way. There were X number of files there, and if everybody in the U.S. who has an Internet connection downloaded a copy for each and every family member... well, you get the idea.
The bigger the bust, the more funding they can ask for. And get.
You're flying into Roswell? ROW? Wow, that says a great deal about your..uhhh... judgment. I'd rather walk there from Albuquerque than have to fly that prop-job into there ever again.
I wish you'd gone into detail on what makes ATI shoddy, because I'm running an ATI Radeon 9200 at home, and it literally blows the socks off the Nvidia card I had at work. My 9200's had no problems since day one. Install was a breeze, just dropped the card in the slot and powered up. I had to tweak XF86Config to get DRI, but that was hardly a problem. I guess I was just lucky that I had all the latest drivers and complete docs to work with.

That's all I get when I go to the link in the article. I've tried Firefox, Opera, and Konqueror and it still doesn't work. So if this is indeed a Microsoft-only story, then the headline icon is wrong, eh?
The future of the American software industry is in Mumbai, Maharashtra State, in India. You should learn how to speak Marathi or Hindi before you emigrate from the U.S. We have your Oracle jobs, we have your IBM jobs, we have your SAS and more. There exists excellent healthcare, with our Indian surgeons on par with your Indian surgeons.
Alternatively, I suppose you could simply learn the phrase "would you like fries with that order, sir?"
Actually, it is sort of cool - in a wierd sort of way. I'm taking a cocktail of heavy-duty painkillers, the maximum amount allowed per day by each of the three drug makers. And I can lay in my bed and watch "Undercover Brother" over and over and over again, and still get caught by surprise at the funny moments every time. Although my wife says I've begun to quietly mouth the soundtrack whenever it's on....
Everytime we go to the video store, I have to ask her if we've seen this one or that one. It's even worse when I go grocery shopping - I keep thinking we're out of breakfast cereal. We've got 10 boxes now.
My long term memory is fine. It's just the stuff in between a few moments and a few days that's challenged. Even serves to make Slashdot more interesting - I don't have to worry about CmdrTaco's reposts.
I just spent the last four days upgrading my ancient (but trustworthy) Win98SE to WinXP SP1. I'm still somewhat in a state of shock and disbelief, but I got nailed by a virus in the middle of the first install - before I had the opportunity to get the damn thing locked down, even. Last night Norton found more than 1200 infected files, and then refused to ever run again. I couldn't kill my dialup connection, and it's pumping mucho beaucoup traffic out the phone line to who knows where - so much traffic I can't even connect to any other site without a timeout.
I'm on my second install, so far with no noticeable problems. Yet. Looks like SP2 is going to carry on the family tradition, eh?
My uncle had it done about 3 or 4 years ago. I don't know if that was the first time he's gotten lazed or not, but he's very happy with the results. He has to wear reading glasses for the really up close stuff, but he's bare-eyeballs for everything else.
He's 90 years old, and still drives. Funny thing though, nobody will ride with him.
From the rec.models.rockets FAQ Part 01 - General Information:
BATF Restrictions: Any rocket motor or reloadable fuel grain containing more than 62.5 grams of propellant is now classified by the ATF as a Class B Low Explosive.
DOT Shipping Restrictions: Any single use rocket motor containing more than 62.5 grams of fuel, and any reloadable motor fuel grain weighing more than 62.5 grams are classified as UN 1.3c, or Class B, explosives.
Been that way for a LONG TIME now. Shipping container bears "Class B Explosives" markings. These are the high-power rocket motors, from G thru P. They can "explode", your knowledge of physics notwithstanding (see sec. 1.7 - CATO).

[...] I REFUSE to drive like an old person!
Sounds like you'll never become one either! Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse, I always say.

It was a tongue-in-cheek project by three engineers at SGI. The original server's been taken off the Internet, but there's some history at http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20010505/matht rek.asp. Enjoy.
...dishonest politicians...
Is there another kind?

You'll get a lot more hits if you spell "bestiality" correctly. I can't believe I'm twisted enough to know how to spell that, tho.

The best accelerator I've ever stumbled across was called LILO.
Same basic idea, though - run something else.
Terra bought Lycos for $12.5 billion and they managed to sell if for $105 million.
Not so bad a deal that they can't make up for it in volume....

CIA? Mossad? Same thing.
Say what you want about their other products, but HP printers by far are the highest quality from all my experience with them.
Their drivers do have the absolute best HPPCL5 compatibility in the market.

wtf I'd need 200 bucks then for? I could like, get a proper job!
That's what I charge for an hour of consulting work. It keeps away most of the riff-raff. But not all.
