Instead of adding a space to the middle of long
words, why not just add a <wbr> tag so that
the browser can decide whether or not it needs
to actually break the word at that spot?
There are too many times when someone posts a URL
in a comment, and I can't simply cut & paste
because the lame filter has put a space in the
middle of it!
I'd like to see the stupid lameness filter changed so that instead of placing spaces into the middle of long words (like the URL above), it would simply add a
<wbr> tag at that spot so that the browser
can break the word there only if it thinks it's necessary.
Word is I/O bound, not CPU bound. It won't make Internet Explorer run faster either. It's bandwidth bound, not CPU bound. It won't make games run faster. Game's have become bandwidth bound as well, only different bandwidth.
And you know what? SMP will do absolutely nothing
to fix bandwidth problems. Instead, it will
make them worse.
I agree that the greatest bottleneck in modern PC's is I/O bandwidth between the components, but
how you jumped to SMP as the solution just escapes me.
The plate is welded to the shaft, if I understand correctly. It would either slide against or just pass very close to the surfaces of the conical end-caps and the outer wall of the combustion chamber.
I don't see how the plate can be welded to the shaft. Don't forget about the stationary vanes!
That means that the wobble plate cannot be spinning about the axis, right?
So I'm also confused. If the wobble plate is
not spinning along with the shaft, then how is
the plate momentum transformed into the shaft's
circular motion?
Help! if someone understands this, please enlighten me! Their website just doesn't describe
the concept very well.
I have found that for me, fighting well above my weight is far more satisfying than bullying weaklings.
This isn't a damn boxing match.
This is survival. Life and death stuff.
If someone is attempting to kill me, or my wife, or my children, then I'm
going to do everything in my power to assure that it
doesn't happen.
And I can't believe that you would rather walk into Afghanistan and try
shooting all the terrorists with a rifle, and risk getting killed and
not being able to defend the ones you love from further terrorist attacks.
If you really believe that measured response is stupid, and overkill is the way
to go, shouldn't you be advocating the nuclear option?
Of course not. If I could have my way, there would be a button I could
push that would cause all of the evil people in the world to suddenly
disappear, and not hurt a single innocent person.
Since such an option doesn't exist, I'll take the next best thing.
And exactly what do you consider a "measured response"???
Let's see, a handful of terrorists killed several thousand Americans.
Therefore, a "measured response" would seem to be the death of thousands
of terrorists with only a handful of American casualties.
a test of automobile engines showed poor design, as they all seized when the oil was drained out while they were running...
Bad analogy. This is analogous to an automobile
engine loosing coolant.
There are some engines that can handle a catastrophic loss of coolant by running on fewer
cylinders, and using the "unused" cylanders to
help keep the engine cool (I know some Cadillacs
have this).
It's a matter of quality. AMD is still deficient
in some areas compared to Intel.
If you leave your machine running unattended, you
probably would rather not have it catch fire.
I'm just not sure where to find the alternatives...starting with gcc.
There is no free alternative to gcc.
The closest you're going to find is bcc. It
is a 16-bit x86 compiler, used by the folks attempting a port to that hardware (the ELKS project). It is only a C compiler, and it
has no optimizing capabilities.

December through February: cold rain
Disabling pop-ups entirely is irritating as many genuinly useful sites use pop-ups when a link is clicked.
If you go to the link given in the parent post, you'll see that it can be configured on a site-by-site basis.
Most pop-up ads come from one of the usual banner-ad sites, not the actual website, so this
feature works pretty well.
Here's my user.js file - you may find it useful.
I allow pop-ups by default, except for the listed
sites.
// Stop animated gifs after one iteration.
user_pref("image.animation_mode", "once");
// Stop windows from popping up when they finish loading pages.
user_pref("mozilla.widget.raise-on-setfocus", false);
// Block these sites from opening their own windows
user_pref("capability.policy.strict.sites", "http://www.car-truck.com http://www.cnn.com http://www.dictionary.com http://media.admonitor.net http://popup.zmedia.com http://ad.doubleclick.net http://www.netsol.com http://rd.yahoo.com");

That's six minutes during which it will not be possible for me to cause an accident!
The moral: if everyone speeds, you won't be driving as long, and cause fewer accidents!
I never thought of it that way before! Thanks!
Wow, I never received so many comments over a sig before in my life!
(man, it's like fishing in a barrel. See if we can't catch any more...).
