Check out the Internet Movie Database if you haven't already. You can find opinions/ratings from a wide variety of individuals, and submit your own opinions on movies. A good general source on movie information. It would be cool if they started linking to alternate audio tracks as well..
No way man, a week later I got a job offer from a much cooler place. A small company, not corporate at all. Our software is multiplatform. The people here are cool and I've never been happier. Plus I didn't have to move to a shitty town like Sarasota that has nothing but retired old people. BTW I don't consider myself a "linus hippie," I'll develop for Windows when appropriate.. But I don't consider Windows a good OS for applications that are meant to run continuously without crashing.
I almost took up a job with L-3 Communications who produces the "black boxes" that reside in airplanes and ocean vessels that record data to be recovered when a craft goes down. My reason for not taking the job? All their software runs under Windows! (though the embedded stuff doesn't, but everything else does) I just imagined all these ships out in the ocean running Windows and the thought really scared me.
Crackers use dictionaries from other languages as well. Of course its not typical. Spanish being one of the more commonly used. Now if you use more than one language in the same password, that might be a good idea.
By the time someone sequentially brute forces even an 8 character password (assuming its relatively complicated), I doubt the account will still be in existance. Unless they have serious computing power, but the typical cracker doesn't usually have such resources available and won't use them to crack something trivial. Its more the crackers who don't do password guessing, but use other methods to compromise systems, that are something to worry about.
True, I think the trademark for Windows will most likely hold up. You won't see products called Windows popping up everywhere. But going back to the Lindows thing, I just can't see how MSFT can win.. In any case I think this will help Lindows become more popular.
I did a backup of my Win2k system and did a restore on different hardware. I didn't know what new.net was at the time but apparently it was on my system. However, new.net didn't work after the restore causing my TCP/IP stack to be unopperational too. It was looking for newdot~2.dll, when only newdot~1.dll existed. Apparently it doesn't take into account long filenames and uses the 8.3 character filename. I didn't know what it was at the time and just made a newdot~2.dll to get on the net. Of course I was even more unhappy to find out what it really was.
I just came back from India. It is a total dump. But they are hardcore into computers. And 62% of the country is in poverty. Hence I think they care more about free as in beer. But some of the people understand "free as in speech".. I think its the same as the west. I can't see India caring more about ethical and social issues more than western countries. Look at how much they've let their country go to waste. They don't regulate polution at all, they don't provide education to the poor. Maybe its because they have so many ethical and social problems that makes them more understanding.
I agree.. I see everyone's desire to have a child as just a selfish desire they've been programmed with. I just recently visited India, whose population is through the roof. They are so stuck in their ways, people are basically expected to follow the same path: get married and have kids. If you don't follow this path they consider there to be something wrong with you. Why would people in a country with such a tremendous population problem continue with such nonsensical tradition? The reason I'm given is so that they have someone to take care of them in their old age. I guess their society is just that way. But then they ask me "when you are getting married?" and I say "not for a long time" (and think to myself "never" and laugh). Maybe I'll get married, but I don't have any intention of adding another child to this world.
You'd be surprised at how intelligence is more a product of what a person experiences after they are born (and while in the womb). For example the diet of a baby can affect its intelligence later in life. For example breast feeding a baby will result in more intelligence over not using breast milk. And countless other factors, but diet is the big one, it makes a person.
I had trouble my first attempt at VHDL, but at some point in the semester, it just "clicked" and I suddenly understood it... and loved it ever since. This is something I want to get further into during grad school. Its interesting hearing from all of you who are out there doing this stuff.
Sticking with 95/98/98se is like sticking with Win3.x when 95 came out. I always give new OS's at least a year to get patched, though. So I was one of those that stuck with Win3.11 until I bought a new PC.
I'm never going back to Win98se. Never. I'm using Win2k right now and its much faster than 98se and it never crashes. As for XP, don't bash it until you've used it. I tried it, and was very impressed, though I had a few minor complaints and am sticking with 2k. Both 2k and XP beat 95/98/98se/ME in reliability, speed, features, etc. XP may look like a kiddie OS after installing, but if you're a serious power user, you will get it running exactly like you want.
The quiet PC articles been done many times, but none of them seem to really do the trick. Good air cooling is always going to be a little noisy. Even with watercooling you need fans to cool the radiator.
I'm about to get a Mitsubishi widescreen that has a VGA input (60hz 640x480). Going to hook up a PC this way. Already got the house wired with CAT-5. I'm going to get a infared keyboard/mouse, I've seen some that are pretty smooth. Of course, I'm going to get a seperate DVD/CD player, rather than use the PC DVD drive I have. But a PC is a nice supplement to a good home theatre.
A lot of the newer audio cards have SPDIF outputs and other good stuff that will bring the audio up to par for home theatre. So no worries about RCA jacks.
Also, Mitsubishi is putting IEEE 1394 support in some of their TVs, but this looks like its only for component integration. Sounds cool, though.
Excercise is a very broad term.
I think the important part is flexibility. Strength coming second. And fat reduction something I don't even think about (though I am trying to tone my abs to improve posture).
You're right--if you want to lose weight lower your intake. Juice fasting is something to try, good for your overall health and can even help with muscular problems such as inflamation (that's why I fast).
There's software that reads out text and allows the blind to use PCs. Check out the narrator in Microsoft's accessibility features. I've always wanted to combine this with some good speech recognition and walk around the house with a wireless headset/mic and use my PC.

Anyone with RSI will say "no sh*t! of course vibrating controllers hurts your hands!!!"
Yeah, as a RSI sufferer I say forget voice recognition, I want to go directly from the brain!

If there was censorship here I wouldn't have read your post!

But excercise is still important for everyone.

"Addiction" is one of those words that are thrown around all the time, usually in an accusative way.
On the other hand, gaming leads to RSI. No more Marvel vs Capcom 2 for me.

Nilesh is the name. And I live up to it yes.
Slashdot has no name change feature, otherwise the "null" would be "esh"
5 kW? Nice... Extra wattage to power a trunk full of amplifiers is always good.
Hmmm.. I trust actual temp probes more than onboard sensors. But I guess its close enough.
