Something a little more informative (but not much) than the previous comment. Hope you know (pseudo) Perl:
foreach ($potential_problem) (@linux){
print "Linux is okay but it has this $potential_problem\n";
print "Yes, and I think you can see that Microsoft addresses this $potential_problem to the benefit of our customers!\n";
}
that, and the chips ran at 666.66 MHz, so if you want whole numbers it properly rounds to 667. You didn't see this with 333 MHz because it's 333.33, which rounds down.
Believe me, the last thing you want is us Americans fleeing to Finland. I'd like to get to northern europe myself, but we'd bring our problems with us.
The PVR-250 dumps straight MPEG2 so you're kind of limited there. It can be postprocessed later but coming off of the card it's already an MPEG2. Just cat/dev/video0 > some_show.mpg. It kind of sucks because you can't have it auto-splice the commercials out, though it does skip them automatically when watching on MythTV.
Yeah every time I use one of their ATMs I get really nervous. I'm not being sarcastic. Ever since all of this crap with their voting machines has happened, I've had to wonder -- how secure are my account number and PIN with them?
The term taxpayer places emphasis on the fact that when the government screws up, it's our money going to waste.

How about loathing SUVs not because of the environmental issues but because I don't desire to be killed by them? I drive a compact car, something which in a city is often helpful for parking, squeezing between cars on narrow streets, etc. Some people unfortunately seem to feel that they need to drive SUVs by themselves to get to work and back in the city.
I'll grant you that SUVs are useful in some situations and for some people. Guess what -- most of the time the people I see driving them will likely never encounter those situations.
I don't know if you're familiar with game theory, but there's something called the Prisoner's Dillemma, wherein two suspected partners in crime are apprehended and separated. Each is told that ratting out the other will lighten any sentence they might get, but if both rat each other out they're screwed. The best choice is for both to keep their mouths shut, because the prosecutors need their testimony to get anywhere, but as human nature would have it, in practice, they almost always both rat each other out, figuring that the other will have done the same.
This is how it seems to work with SUVs. The most common excuse I hear for driving them is, "I feel safer." Yes, they're safer relative to people like me in regular old cars. However, SUVs have been shown to be more likely to roll over in accidents, especially where vehicles of similar size are concerned. In other words, an accident between two SUVs is more dangerous than between two cars. The safest route would be for everyone to drive cars. However, some people 'sell' out for a little marginal safety for themselves and get SUVs, thus endangering everyone else. Eventually you have 50% or more of the cars on the road as SUVs, very dangerous for car drivers, and dangerous even for SUV drivers as now they have more 'peers' on the road, peers which in an accident are mutually more dangerous than if they drove cars.
SUVs are a huge problem, no pun intended. Let's just hope oil prices go up and hit their drivers where it hurts.
How do you like it? I was looking at it as a portable storage / mp3 player / class recorder, as it has the recorder built in and has more capabilities than an iPod. Granted it's not super-slick like an iPod, but I use macs and linux boxes and you know, I'd rather have something a little more open.
Anyway, pardon the rant. Seriously, how's it working out?
Sorry for the cliche subject. Anyway, I used E 0.16.x for three years. I had tried a bunch of desktops and settled on E for its usability. Then I was lured away by KDE, which I've been using for just over a year.
This story has inspired me to try using E as my primary again for a while. We'll see, I'll probably go back to KDE, but for now damn does it feel good to be home.:)

good point - my mistake!

If the sites hosting them use iFrames you can block the iFrames with Adblock.
What did you think of "A New Kind of Science" ?
I was hoping someone would have caught this already.
sheesh.

I guess you could have made every answer zero, and that might have been more evil.
Interesting post. Wish I had mod points, not that I could mod this.
I guess I'd better go get some SPF 20,000 sunscreen then.
perhaps 2035 is a bit optimistic. I'm thinking 2015 at the rate we're going.

What about the other half?
I still am though...

DISCLAIMER: I loathe SUVs and those that drive them.

Not one problem (on my system anyway) and I'm typing this in it right now.
M1: Alright, pay up.
M2: I can't believe this. (pays)
M3: Hey guys, 3 to 1 odds I don't get the patent on the 'long rectangular button which inserts a space character when pressed'. Who's in?
M1: $50 you don't get it.
M2: $200 for.
You're not going to make much money that way on /.
Never mind, I didn't notice the original post was an AC...
