Back when I worked in the five-sided building of legend, I got chided for brining back a gymbag of gimmes from a trade show.
There was another time when an extremely large company had a special trade show where the company actually paid to put up all the attendees in a hotel - except those of us with the misfortune to be civil servants. We got to stay at Motel 6 down the block.
I played the game when it *first* came out, and my 1986 copy of the 3025 tech readout has ll those in it, along with marauder and many other derived mecha. I also remember an RPG from that time frame where the goal was to retrieve your father's phoenix hawk.
Maybe they were given 10 years or some such time limit to get rid of them?
Which just makes this even weirder. (1) The cops should have seized the stolen property and (2) if they didn't and EB didn't return it, she should have sued them, not paid for her own stuff back.
I'm not surprised that they moved the battery, but I'm surprised the owner's manual didn't have instructions for doing a jump - it shouldn't be that hard to mark a positive terminal some place on the car, and the negative just goes to the chassis - which is where you're supposed to put it anyway, right?
FASA lost the license long before the video games came out - and not because they were breaking the license but because the people who *sold* them the license didn't have the right to do it.
But the Robotech people were actually very nice about it - they made FASA change the names of the mecha but didn't make them change the images, which is why you can still find veritech-looking "wasps" and "stingers" and "phoenixhawks" in the Battletech board games.
Undertaking a huge project such as print serving without reading any documentation ahead of time is foolhardy.
Right. So, when I go to print a document on my Mac, and select from the list of magically recognized, identified and configured printers that it found on the network, I'm actually engaged in a foolhardy act?
Given that the Mac uses CUPS as it's printing system there is no reason at all that printing on Linux has to be so hard.
Raymond is right, and he's finally noticed the problem that made me switch from Linux to OS X 3 years ago. I don't want to rebuild my kernel when I add a digital camera. I don't have time to learn how the printing subsystem works when all I really want to do is print out a birthday card for my daughter. I enjoy hacking and tweaking my system but when I need it to work it had better damn well work the first time!
Not only did I know about the Russian rovers, I had a set of Russian stamps with Soyuz and the rovers on them.
Thanks to *my* American education.
If you really lament your education, I think you should speak to your parents about their lack of involvement, and to yourself about your lack of curiosity.
Can it be ported without the dedicated Toaster hardware? If large parts of it are written specifically for the Toaster itself, the source might not be all that useful.
to point out that Dobson is a Buddist monk, not the Catholic sort.
Not that this has any impact on his telescopes or importance (I've built one of his scopes myself) but for years I had a rather incorrect mental image of what he looked like.:-P
The article presents no evidence that the Republicans were reading Democratic memos. It asserts that certain leaks to the press must have been caused by the Republicans copying Democratic memos.
So, I can assert that Howard Dean mugged my mom - do you believe me?
You're arguing that because the Republicans might have done it, they must have done it. Sorry, but an absense of evidence is, in fact, proof of innocence in any court of law.
Be sure to write me for a recommendation when you join the police force.

If the stories become compelling, instead of the hardware - what happens to hardware sales?
What happens to sales of the PS3 when every compelling game people want to play, plays just fine on PS2?
shaders mean exactly zero when it comes to gameplay.

Sounds like they're adopting the Microsoft model for documentation, too.

of my SourceForge projects, then I'll stop writing non-free software.
In the meanwhile, the stuff I do GPL is fluff I do to show off, not how I spend most of my hours.

You didn't read the article, did you?
As I understand it, "Beowulf" implies certain kernel changes to allow all the machines to share a common address space.
It's more likely the machines are organized as a grid, using MPI for interprocess communications.
I could, of course, be utterly, abjectly, wrong.
turn some one whose primary motivation is suicide into a long-term TV character.
So, your ISP bill will go up when they force you to pay the universal access charges that currently get tacked onto your phone bill.

That's right - you need evidence to prove that someone did something. What evidence did the Globe provide that the charges being made are true?

known for belligerence and terrorism? Or for oppressing people they disagree with?
Lol.
would require actual evidence before declaring that a crime has been committed.
That struck me as odd, too. I mean, shouldn't they have been able to set up a pair of servers, one for each party?
