The LSI system, despite the name, knows nothing about semantics. I just ASSUMES that words that frequently occur near each other are semantically related.
Based on another response about this possibly being and older GTK, I deinstalled both GTK and GIMP, and reinstalled the latest from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/, and the slowness is still there - it takes 3-4 sec to bring up the open or save dialogs. With the original open/save dialogs they came up with no delay.
This is GIMP 2.2.0, GTK+ 2 for Windows 2.4.14 running under Windows XP professional with SP2 installed.
What gets me about the new open/save dialogs is how incredibly S-L-O-W they are to come up - I've got a 3GHz PC with 1G of RAM, and it still takes multiple seconds to come up - what on earth is it doing???:-(
If the US defaults on it's debt, then it's debt rating wil go to crap, and the US economy will grind to a halt as the US finds itself unable to borrow money... of course it'd be cool to see a US government forced to balance it's budget, but imagine the effect in times of war... In the last few years Bush has over-spent the budget to the tune of about $20,000 per US household ($2T total) - imagine if that was not borrowed money, but instead came out of your taxes...
Worse than that, the value of the US dollar, like any other currency, depends on supply and demand, and demand for the dollar depends very much on the dollar being a global reserve currency due to oil mostly being priced in dollars (i.e. most countries need to buy, and maintain reserves of, US dollars to pay for Saudi etc oil priced in dollars).
Now, as is already starting to happen, when the world starts to shift to oil priced in Euros instead of dollars, then demand for the dollar will plummet and it's value will take a dive... and there's nothing the US can do about it. It's the oil producing countries that have control over what currency to price their product in...
I wouldn't even attribute the distribution of left vs right handedness to ANY (dis)advantage. I'd have thought it quite possible that it's simply not correlated to "evolutionary success" (# mini monkeys produced), and that the statistical mix is just a result of the handedness and inheritance mechanisms at play.
char q = '"'; char *body = "int main(void) {printf(fmt, q, q, body, q, q, fmt, q, body); return 0;}"; char *fmt = "char q = '%c';char *body = %c%s%c;char *f = %c%s%c;%s"; int main(void) {printf(fmt, q, q, body, q, q, fmt, q, body); return 0;}
This isn't a build I did myself - it's the "official" GIMP for Windows build downloaded from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/.
I just downloaded the 2.2pre2 Windows build (+GTK update) from the same site, and it also has the same bug, although it's improved in that it lets you cancel the hung load without exiting GIMP (which is the 2.0.5 behaviour).
Would you happen to know the right person to report this to (I could also send a sample eBay JPEG that causes the hang)? I've already posted it to gug.sunsite.dk forum, but I'm not sure if that's the best place for bug reports.
I'm using GIMP 2.0.5 for Windows, and my biggest complaint is that the JPEG importer can't handle eBay created (ones with the camera watermark in bottom right corner) JPEGs - it ALWAYS hangs (JPEGS from other sources are OK). I always have to use paint to convert eBay JPEGs to BMP to be able to load them into GIMP.
Maybe, but the EU has been researching magnetic confinement for fusion reactors for decades... it's not really a matter of money, more about who's going to be able to share in the knowledge built on top of what came before it.
IMO the EU would be better advided to keep this to themselves than share it with the US. Fusion power will be a major strategic advantage in a world where Bush is antagonizing all the major oil providers... The US may be a military superpower, but the EU can easily counter that with economic warfare (such as they did by pulliing the financing rug that precipitated the 1929 crash and followign depression in the US).
It is the US that would largely be shut out, since it's the US that wants it in Japan - to punish France for not being a Bush lackey and supporting his personal vendetta in Iraq. The EU is willing to give the finger to the Japan supporters and pay for it themselves.
The EU has far more sustained fusion experience (via Joint European Torus, etc) than the US, and Bush's idiot politics will make sure that it stays that way.
With IMAP you can read your mail and leave it on the server, while POP3 doesn't seem to have that option, at least not via Mozilla. This is useful if you want to read your mail from more than one location.
Any store is going to make a profit on stuff sold, and make a loss on stuff returned (restocking costs, opportunity loss costs, etc). There comes a point when a particular customer is going to be losing the company money rather then making them a profit, and one would assume that is the point at which they have set the bar for denying returns - if your keep/return ratio makes you a loss maker.
The only mistake they may be making would be if they figured that they could refuse a customers returns and still keep them as a customer... a few may stay, but I assume the bulk would go elsewhere where they can continue with their "buy 3, return 2" habits.

Or alternatively if the electoral college members do the job the founding fathers intended, and decide to override the popular vote and elect Kerry rather than Bush based on their judgement that he'd be a better president.
Well, PayPal said they could not reimburse me since there were no funds in the sellers account (of course they could have reimbursed me out of their own pocket, as a credit card would do, but PayPal doesn't have that type of customer protection policy)... and still have not reimbursed me despite these credit card payments flowing thru the sellers account. These are the facts.
If I had to guess *why* these facts result in PayPal not reimbursing me, I'd say it's because PayPal know that a credit card issuer would rightly nail them to the wall if they siphoned off part of someone's credit card payments to pay someone *else* off to resolve a dispute!
As for why the seller (who now has a dismal ~80% feedback rating, and other feedback of unresolved paypal complaints) says he only wants to receive credit card payments, my guess is that it's precisely because he knows the above to be true. Most sellers, if anything, want to *avoid* PayPal credit card payments since that requires a premier account and losing 3% of all payments.
My advice to anyone using PayPal is to always pay via credit card, because they are the only ones who will reimburse you in the event of fraud. PayPal will only reimburse you if they can do so without cost to themselves, and if the person who ripped you off cooperates by maintaining a PayPal balance that they can dip into to provide the refund.
Well, the ONLY way to win at Blackjack without luck is to count cards. If you win without counting just by playing perfect strategy, then you're just having a streak of luck, because the odds are still against you. Counting puts the odds slightly in your favor (but you still have to play perfectly, as Carmack notes).
Of course counting doesn't require memorizing cards - just mainting a running total. The typical counting scheme just groups cards as hi/lo, and you add +/-1 to the running total respectively. All you want to know is if there's a statistical imbalance of hi vs lo cards in the undealt remainder of the pack.
Yep, I've had the exact same thing happen, although only for a $5 item. The seller continues to do business but now only advertises on eBay that he only accepts PayPal via Credit Card, which seems to be a way to avoid having a PayPal balace that PayPal could take my refund from.
Nowadays I mostly switch the PayPal source to credit card rather than the default checking account, since then I can always complain to the credit cad company who *will* do something about it. PayPal themselves suck at complaint resolution.
The SS1 design is inherently safer than Apollo or the Shuttle. It just plain avoids some of the risks such as a rocket-based take-off, carrying explosive propellant, and a hot heat-shield requiring reentry. The risk is probably a lot closer to conventional airplane flight.

Actually it sounds more like CYC-lite.

Is there an even more minimal way?
:-)
No!
Or how about this one... it's kinda self-verifying, since it relies on itself working in order to work! :-)
/tmp/self", argv[0]);
#include
#include
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
char create_self[100];
sprintf(create_self, "%s >
system(create_self);
FILE *f = fopen("/tmp/self", "r");
while (!feof(f)) putc(fgetc(f));
return (0);
}
I think this'll work:
char q = '"'; char *body = "int main(void) {printf(fmt, q, q, body, q, q, fmt, q, body); return 0;}"; char *fmt = "char q = '%c';char *body = %c%s%c;char *f = %c%s%c;%s"; int main(void) {printf(fmt, q, q, body, q, q, fmt, q, body); return 0;}
In Zen minimalist form, that'd be:
bool up(int i)
{
printf("%i\n", i);
return (i == 100) || up(++i);
}
int main(void) {return (int) up(1);}
You think that Microsoft will include "Gmessenger" with the next version of Windows?
No, I but I wouldn't expect that to be an option...
Presumably "Gmessenger" will/would be web based so that it'd be available everywhere and not require any desktop installation.

Seems like the story is confusing the benchmarks on the 3.8G P4 570J that are linked at the beginning of the BTX review with the BTX review itself.
The BTX is just a PC form factor - it may help your PC run a bit cooler, but it won't make it any faster.

No problem, since I don't think he's going to be serving sandwiches in zero-G - too many crumbs.
Judging by his impaired decisions, I assume he's fallen off the wagon too!
