The Canadian dollar has less value the the American dollar (USD). XE.com says every USD is worth ~1.3 CAD today. So how are you getting one back for the Canadians, with their inflated dollar?
I am tired of people using conditional operators incorrectly. !=, == are tests, they don't imply anything by themselves.
From a Christian perspective (the majority religion here on Spaceship Earth)...
(Bible != God) => false
John 1:1 also mentions something about and the Word was God.
I am wondering why the imagine looks so fake, particularly the bottom half. The surface sure doesn't look that fake from the pictures I have seen from Spirit. What gives?
The best remaining artifact of the Apollo Program, Huntsville's Saturn VWRONG!
The Huntsville Saturn V is a pre-production model, it was never built to be launched. Now the Houston Saturn V, thats the only one left thats made of 100% flight ready components. The first two stages of the Houston Saturn V were meant to be part of Apollo 19.
It is clear that the Houston Saturn V is the most authentic, too bad its in detoriating shape also.
Anyone else read THD debuts networking guide? Well it certainly got me thinking how you could take "advantage" of total harmonic distortion in networking.
Does anyone have more information on the series numbering? I have two copies of this series both published by Scholastic. In the older series 1 is the The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. In the newer set the Magicians Nephew is first. What gives?
Just telling me one dimension, 0.85", is useless. We live in a n-dimensional world. I forget what that n is, but last time I heard a nuclear physicist speak it was over 7. So tell me its the Length, Width, Height, Diameter, Radius or something useful.
I had to RTFA to find out it was diameter, what kind of/.'er does that make me? having to RTFA uck.
Not sure about IT but as far as Electronics its hard to beat good old school navy training. Take a look at Basic Electricity by Valkenburgh, Nooger, and Neville. The book mentioned was written as a part of the COMMON-CORE program for the U.S. Navy in 1954. The explinations are great and the figures are a blast.
Any such disaster is a horrible thing, but one must face the facts. All of the workers that died in this explosion were not Astronauts/Cosmonauts/Spacement. Any comparison between losing actual Spacemen/Astronauts and Launch Pad workers is foolish.
In Soviet Russia the rocket blows you up! Ever hear of the Nedelin disaster when in excess of 90 people lost their lives during a launchpad failure.
Now thats what I call a launch pad failure. No disrespct for the loss of life is tragic in both cases, but it is a price worth paying for future space exploration.
I am willing to bet that a lot of/.ers had no idea that FPGA stood for Field Programmable Gate Array, I only knew this because I took a digital logic class during my undergrad.
Hmm come to think of it I bet 85% of/.ers have no idea what PCI stands for. Oh well I for one love our acronym oriented Engineering culture, I also like acronymfinder.com
Tosser? I know what a posser is, but not a tosser? how the hell do you call someone a tosser? I sure hope this has nothing to do with salads. I thought it might be a typo at first, but the t and p are pretty far appart on my keyboard.
Your saying that a commericial version of Linux is popular. I laugh just hearing the words Linux and popular in the same context, but throw in the commericial fact and it should make you want to fall out of your chair.
ya right like I am going to pay $30 to get a "popular" Linux
A popular movie is going to be released on DVD, hmm wonder how often this happens? Its a shame/. doesn't tell me everytime a movie is going to be released DVD.
From what I hear its allready been released on bittorrent.
When I asked the man about C++0x, I called it C++ "knot" beacuse I had heard it pronounced similarly before. Stroustrup called it C++ zero x, but he had obviously heard it called "knot, not, naught" before since he knew what I was asking about it.
All I could get out of him was that it was going to be some sort of update to the standard. It was an interesting conversation, and it ended by me getting my book signed by the man.
If anyone knows where the "knot" came from, I would like to hear about it.
my note [slashdot.org] about what pen-type he was using
Your "note" is not about then pen-type, but simply asking what type of pen. There is a difference, you don't know jack about what type of pen he was using and are only asking to see if anyone else can post a "note" about his pen-type. I also would find it interesting to see what type of pen he wrote with, for his handwritting was unique.
This ensured that Dijkstra would never get the announcement, as he did have a computer.
How does having a computer ensure that you will not get email? All the professors at my school have said nothing but kind words about the man (although they have only mentioned him post-mortum). The professors that I am talking about also know the man and never mentioned cowering in fear of him, or trying to hide from him.
£1.70 per millilitre, compared with 1985 Dom Perignon at 23p per millilitre
I don't get it how do you compare £ to p? What is a p and isn't 23 > 1.70 if they are both pounds per ml? I have never heard anyone in the states write millilitre, why not just write ml? thats whats the beakers and pipes I been smoking out of use!

TC++PL its not dry, its chunk full of insite. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners though. I read it, even got mine signed by the man.

As an uncultured fat cowboy with no knowledge of the rest of the world, I sir am offended.

We waste way too much time energy and money prolonging the lives of halfdead people. Is this a crack at the /. crowd?

Whenever someone starts a sentence with "I am no , yaddya yaddya about " I always stop reading after the comma.

ADA is what happens when you let a language be designed by committee.
C++ on the other hand is the result of years of hardwork by Dr. Stroustrup and others who happened to sit on an ISO comittee at one point.
When I asked the man about C++0x, I called it C++ "knot" beacuse I had heard it pronounced similarly before. Stroustrup called it C++ zero x, but he had obviously heard it called "knot, not, naught" before since he knew what I was asking about it.
