My IBM Workpad C3 (rebranded Palm Vx) does everything I need in a PDA. Calender, address book, to-do list, note pad, minesweeper clone and patience. Anything more than those basic functions is just added fluff that I do not need.
Would we get to see him wander around in circles trying to figure out the puzzles? "Woops, better go back and find out what I have to turn that sundial thingie to for the door to open..."
Exactly. Only one group can be right, and it is obvious which one. Earth was created approximately 5700 years ago. The planets, sun and stars revolve around it, and it is flat. Fossils were put there by God to make us question our faith. Only the truely faithful will be saved on the judgement day, in -4 years.
If its a naturally aspirated small displacement engine like most of the cars I see riced out, a three inch exhaust is overkill. In fact, it is worse than overkill. It is detrimental to the performance of your car. Your engine depends on a certain amount of backpressure to produce low-end torque. All you are doing is robbing low end power and making your car louder.
No, you do not qualify as a ricer. You are actually a TASTEFUL import modder.
The term "Ricer" does not refer to imports specifically either. I have seen "riced" Cavaliers, Probes, V6 Mustangs, etc. on the roads. It simply means the people that put, as you said, huge wings on the back of their car, and rediculous widebody kits, giant gauges all over their dashboard, a carbon fibre hood on a car with a full interior, 20 inch wheels with black rubber bands as tires, etc.
Oh and many ricers make their car "faster" with a short ram intake sucking hot air from the engine compartment, and large diameter exhaust piping that destroys the low-end power of their engine while making their car sound like a lawnmower.
Some cosmetic changes are OK, as long as they are tasteful.
Yes. Both authoritarian, both federalist, one extreme left, the other extreme right. It scares me quite a bit. I think of myself as fairly centrist economically, but quite libritarian, and quite in favor of local governments over federal governments. The current government seems to be pretty much the opposite of what I like. Kerry is not much different, unfortunately. A bit more to my liking in some areas, but still seems fairly federalist and authoritarian.
Here's somethign useful:
Apparently, some graders do not like you to use the ? : operator. They get confused, and mark you down. Getting the points back can be annoyingly time consuming.
If I haven't compiled one in a while, I check out kernel.org to see if a new one is out. If it's less than a month since I last upgraded, or if there are RC's out for the next version out, I wait a bit more. I am running 2.8.1 now, and if I get un-lazy enough, the timing is far enough apart that I would be willing to compile 2.6.9, but I probably won't get around to it until 2.6.10 RC1 is out, at which point I will decide it is better to just wait for 2.6.10 proper.
Ok, it's pretty much accepted that Roland is paying off Slashdot to get hits to his weblog or has some kind of deal with them.
While both Kurzweil and Roland make electronic keyboards and synthesizers of various shapes and sizes, I do not think the two companies would be happy about your confusion between them, nor would Roland be happy that you are insinuating that they are trying to make Kurzweil look like a nutjob.

It is NOT dual core. The article is talking about a 90nm G4 processor, and they are planning a dual core for later. The single core is what is pin-compatible.
The new chip is Freescale's first 90nm G4 and is based on the company's e600 core, the foundation for Freescale's upcoming line of dual-core chips. The 7448, however, contains just one core, clocked to beyond 1.5GHz. It contains 32KB of L1 cache and 1MB of L2, double the 512KB of L2 found in the MPC7447A currently driving Apple's PowerBook G4 and iBook G4 notebooks.
Decent search capabilities that can take into account the requirements of classical music (same piece recorded by several different orchestras/conductors/soloists, sometimes more than once by a particular artist, movements, organization by composer's work rather than by which things someone crammed onto a CD, etc)
FLAC is good enough. Since it is a lossless codec, I can transcode it without the inherent loss between, say, going from OGG to MP3 or vice versa.
If you are designing web pages, and being paid for it, it is expected that they will work in IE. Thus, you have to design to standards, then put in hacks to get it to look right on IE. I am not suggesting people design with IE, that would be stupid.

You have 3" exhaust? Why? Behind your turbo?

I cut a 120mm fan hole in my computer case with my dremel. I went through three cutoff disks.

Funny? I am perfectly serious. I think I still have that magazine around somewhere. May or June 1997 I expect.
I had a PC Gamer mag back in '97 or '98 talking about that game. It looks like it's gonna be really neat. I can't wait to play it!

2.8.1 introduced native 3d acceleration support for my Radeon 9700 pro! Finally ATI cards are beginning to be decent under Linux.

Get an AirZooka. Quite effective at knocking the pile of cans over from afar, with no projectile to retrieve.
Wow, really? So, my cat could have lived to 40 years if I kept it indoors? Damn, I never realized that.

DSLRs also tend to have MUCH better lenses than their point and shoot cousins. But yes, the small sensors have more noise.
Both companies make lenses for their 35mm cameras as well. All the DX lenses mean is that Nikon is locked into 1.6 crop factor sensors AND full frame.

It would be useful for testing web pages when you do not otherwise have access to a Windows machine, like me.
