The AVR starter kit for $79 comes with an 8 bit processor, so I'm not sure you can take the AVR32 (a 32 bit processor) and expect it to work with the older board. I'm not a big micro-controller hobbiest/programmer, though. Would be nice if you could.:)
I will personally come down there and puke on your mullet.
WOAH WOAH WOAH! I was right there with you until threw down with the mullet joke. There's no reason to bring that up in a civil conversation! Next thing you know, you'll be using the word "B*lgium" with abandon! Lighten up a bit!
That being said, you guys have the mullet too, you just call it "hockey hair."
But when they remove IE, they want every single web-related library removed, because "MICROSHAFT IS EVIL, DIE DIE DIE BILL GATES DIE!!!!! 31337z0r0rz DIEE!!!!"
Wow, that's a pretty good argument. I had no idea my point of view was so nuanced. Thanks for bringing this up, instead of creating a strawman or something, which you could have done. If more people communicated in such a dignified and respectful manner, we could accomplish so much more as a people.
I'd guess a bunch of engineers/mechanics would get together and build one as a hobby, like people I know already that buy older cars for a couple hundred bucks and fix them up on weekends. I'm guessing if we were able to go around duplicating food and objects and such, we would have much more spare time, unless we all had to work to process and deliver the energy required to duplicate everything.
Do we seriously care about the difference audio quality between 96 and 160 kbps versions of a Weird Al Yankovic song?! I'm envisioning someone huddled over the controls on their $70,000 147.1 X-TREME SURROUND(tm) system, manually adjusting over 600 level sliders until "Don't download this song" is played in such perfect harmony angels are envious of the orgasmic bliss they experience. Hopefully no one links to a 128 kbps version of "Amish Paradise" lest our heads exploded in fury.
I think you're assuming a lot about the intentions of the people that created the crack. There are other motivating forces at work for would be crack providers, such as being, in principle, against having copy protection on a game you/they/someone bought. This is especially true for games protected by the more intrusive copy protection schemes (e.g. Starforce IIRC). Another major reason these groups provide cracks is for the fun and recognition of it, sort of like the "because it's there" mountain climber's rationale, which is completely unconcerned with how people actually use the crack.
Whether or not you use them is up to you; I just have a problem assuming the only possible reason for creating cracks is to facilitate piracy.
Or maybe the scientists know this idea is crap, but marketing caught wind of it after the one of the scientists that left to console himself with a beer accidentally left a memo from early on in the project, and started running down the street shouting "Eureka!" and calling press conferences, while HR is trying to figure out how many people they'll have to hire just to oversee the hiring of the people that will count all the money about to come in. This is approximately how things work at The Sharper Image.
I've had those, and I think I'd rather eat what the article is talking about. Who the hell dries guacamole into green dust and throws it all over chips? Blech.
No one is claiming the fees are convenient; it's the service that provides convenience for a certain fee. Some companies are a little...optimistic in their claim that their fees are convenience fees, but this doesn't seem like one of them. Refilling a parking meter from half a mile away *is* pretty damn convenient.
Proof the internet is now just as much for dumb jocks as it is for nerds. Guess it's time to get started on the Metaverse, where we can be free once again;p.
From what I remember, SQ4 was a real bitch to get running, even more so than the usual from Sierra. I've actually tried to get it running on a modern PC (Win2K a couple years ago), and while I think I got it running eventually it wasn't very stable.
Well, the median salary for San Francisco is only 60K(ish), and I know several recent college graduates that live in that area that only make a little more than half that (though they aren't programmers). So, depending on the level of experience the jobs grandparent was talking about ask for, less than 100K might not be a joke. Entry level doesn't typically pay enough to buy a house in most jobs; why should they for programmers?
All In One Gestures (and other mouse gesture extensions) allow you to "duplicate tab," which opens a new tab with the same URL (and post data?) as the current one.
I'm not sure if there's a way to do it through a single keyboard shortcut, but ctrl-L (go to location bar), ctrl-C, ctrl-T, ctrl-V is a workaround.
Interestingly, those cable news shows that claim to feature rational debate from "both" sides (as if there are always exactly two sides to an issue) are part of the problem.

As a fellow northern Californian, I have agree, and add that earlier this month I had to scrape ice off my car's windows for over two weeks straight!
:p
We suffer too!

No, no, physically is okay, it's bibically that's bad.
David Spade called. He wants his only good joke back.
I think anything in angle brackets gets eaten when you're not using plain text mode.

No, we just need to encourage women to look at more porn. Two birds with one stone, really.

Can they do nothing more than crack the latest version of VirtuaGirl?
They can do that? Do you know where I can find these guys? I need to, uh, confirm your statement. Solely for scientific purposes, you understand.

Just the first thing I thought of.
Heh, I take it you're familiar with the "Eject Media Wizard" (at least on W2K server)?
Right-Click->Eject Media
Welcome to the eject media wizard!
The media eject wizard allow you to....blah blah blah

Finished:Eject Media Wizard
Congratualtions, you've completed the eject medi....blah blah blag

Wizards are intuitive, and FUN! (Almost as fun as stabbing whoever is responsible for that in the face.)
If that....
That comment by Ballmer is what distinguishes this as FUD, rather than just an honest response to a question.

Unfortunately, our market surveys show the only interested buyers are a one bedroom apartment, a used kayak, and a lime green Geo Metro....
