> 3. Find out how your congressperson voted on this issue, and call their office, then write a letter to them about it.
Unless, of course, the vote in question was a voice vote only. Then how the individual congresspersons voted is not on the record. A quick look at the history of the bill shows this to be the case, in the House at least.
How true. I just bottled a batch yesterday. Put 7 quarts (about) of honey into 5 gallons of water 6 or 7 months ago. Added some "yeast food", and waited. No boiling, no racking, no nothing.
It doesn't get much easier than that.
--Probably shouldn't have added the yeast food though. It's a bit drier than my wife likes (~13%). Mixed with some Jagermeister or some cranberry juice, it's really good though.
One problem that I've run into in MS Visual C++ is that the debugger has a different allowed symbol name length than the compiler (512 max for the debugger). The only time this was a problem was with some client code using embedded name spaces and templates containing STL templates (don't ask). The same code could be compiled and debugged under gcc/gdb, and the problem may have been fixed in more recent versions of MSVC++.
As far as the STL itself goes, it can save you a lot of time and trouble, and is becomming available in more places all the time. I
Personally, I like CD Baby. It has independent artists only, and according to their About page, $6-$12/CD goes directly to the artist. You can also listen to parts of some songs on each album before you buy (RealAudio only though). One of my favorite features of the site is the ability to search by location as well as style.
I don't really see where the increased convenience comes in. Currently I have all of my bills drafted automatically from my account. An increase or decrease in the number of bills doesn't really make any difference.
Are they suggesting that there will be increased convenience for customer service?
I've had one of these for about a year now. I asked about OGG on the mailing list (by the way, Turtle Beach has been extremely responsive to user requests via the mailing list) and was told that the last time they checked the OGG format hadn't been finalized (it has now), and lossless formats seem to be more important to the majority of their users in any case.
Talking to the user rep that monitors the list, it sounds possible that they'll add OGG eventually. (at the very least, it isn't technically impossible for them to do so).
The only possible problem that I can see is that OGG decoding seems (in my experience anyway) to require more processing power than MP3 decoding. It could be that the machine isn't up to the challenge.
Mine's been working great for several months now, and there isn't a Microsoft box in the house. Turtle Beach has been wonderfully responsive to requests for new features. If you get one, be sure to keep up with the newsgroup so that you can do beta testing of updates.
I'm sure that when Red Hat are in a position to offer cash subsidies to hardware manufacturers, you will see much better Linux support.
My understanding of the matter is that Microsoft (Bill Gates in particular) opposed WinModems on the grounds that the idea is stupid and the performance suck would reflect poorly on Windows. The lack of Linux drivers is due to the fact that WinModems are ultra-cheap hardware and the companies involved don't want to spend more money on software development.
This can't really hurt (at least in the long run). If the insurance co. starts having to pay out, it may require that some decent security policy exist. Just requiring up-to-date patch levels would probably cut down on most of the problems.
... kinda like the problem with playing Quake online... The levels are completely unimaginative, and it comes down to ping speed & hardware to decide the winner. Adding things like LIMITED weapons, ammo & powerups would require people to conserve their ammo and to play strategically, rather than switching over to rocket launcher, putting it on autorun and holding down their fire button.
This is why I switched to playing ActionQuake instead of standard Quake II. Who needs 90% of the map to be engulfed in rocket or grenade explosions at any given time.
I'm not sure that 'replaced' is the right term. Nanosaur is still included, it just isn't installed initially. (Probably not to different for first time computer buyers)
I definitely agree that Bugdom is more entertaining. It would be nice to see that ported to Linux. More commercial childrens games can never hurt.
If you actually read the article (wouldn't that be novel), you would see that these are (basically) automatically created hard links. The OS searches the drive for duplicate files, and then sets up the link by itself. This functionallity doesn't exist in Unix by default, but a script could probably be set up to do it in a matter of minutes.
It doesn't have to be a tradeoff. Just because a simple tool exists doesn't mean that you have to use it. For example, there is a GUI to configure networking, but it is faster (for me) to edit the text files directly.
This is one of the greatest benefits of having the GUI be a wrapper for things that can be done at the commandline. In the MSWindows world, it is common for a GUI program to preclude having powerful configuration options, but it is unlikely under the *nix's.
Normally, I wouldn't even respond to such a rediculous post (Drivers for RAM?!?!? WTF?), but I have to disagree with the statement that Samsung doesn't provide drivers for their products. Last year, I bought a Samsung monitor and was able to find modelines for X ON THEIR WEBSITE. Whatever else Samsung might do, at lest they are making an effort to have some of their products supported in the *NIX world.
I took part in their last giveaway, and have found the linux software at: http://mlug.missouri.edu/~tymm/ to provide all of the functionality found in the Windows software. If you would like a GUI frontend to this software, I have a really cheesy tk/tcl version at: http://www.crl.com/~wrigley/chris/RocketLauncher/ I am planning on starting a scheduler this week that uses at and cron to schedule turning stuff on and off (and even dimming). The firecracker stuff is X10's lowend stuff, but still is pretty useful. The normal price is ok, but you really shouldn't pass up free.
Yah. Thus the heavy use of such things as "much" and "cut down on" in my post. There is no really good solution if your business requires the exchange of executables. (I refuse to believe that VisiBasic macros are really necessary entities)
I used sar in my previous job. It does cpu/io/memory usage reporting. For full information on what it can do, (Including a lot of formating options) check out the following URL:
Stripping binaries from internal mail probably isn't necessary, and would actully remove most of the usefulness of an internal e-mail system. It isn't a bad idea to have binaries stripped from external e-mail, and put into a directory where expected binaries could be picked up. With a policy of allowing only business-related binaries to be picked up, many of the social engineering worms would be filtered out without the loss of the usefulness attachments.
Slashdot Mirror
That doesn't look like the vote on the bill itself.
"QUESTION: On Motion to Instruct Conferees"
That line reads something like:
"QUESTION: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as Amended"
when it is a vote to pass a bill.

Jon Boask has done some work on this. It includes at DTD instead of an XMLSchema, but it's not too hard to move between the two...

It is pretty easy to use Perl for this. Look on CPAN for XML (XML::Parser in particular)

Judging from the Everquest players I've seen, they don't have TIME to download p0rn. :)

Microsoft's shortcuts aren't exactly symbolic links. Most programs do not see them as the file they point to.
