The best way to do this would be to apply random fourier transforms against the images. Then it degrades nicely under lossy conditions, and streams well.
Contact me for more info on this, it's what a friend of mine is doing.
I think as people get older, they change. It's not really surprisingly that people that were compatible before, are no longer. What's the point in staying with someone that you aren't happy with? There's only so much trying you can do.

Lasting a long time is more of a side effect of high reliability. If you want it to last 90 days, you might build with a probability of failure of say 99.9% during those 90 days. however that means that you still have about 99.8% chance of lasting 180 days, and so on.
Perhaps the problem is that until you get into a phd or get working, it's hard to find anyone else that is as intelligent as you, so of course you feel left out.
Oh and carpenters and musicians etc.. I'd call that skill, not intelligence.
Okay, now tell me what "have a life" means. It seems to come up a lot. It seems that most people seem to mean it to mean talking to non-smart people, having a normal girlfriend, and perhaps getting kids.
All of which are overrated. Look at the divorce rate if you aren't convinced.

Well, let me know how it goes. I'll be interested to see if your isp does disconnect you. They don't need to host it to be able to unplug your internet connection..
Since I used a fake from, I can't get any replies.
Oh and just because it's paper and pen is irrelevant to my claims since I doubt they'll be investigated that hard. You should know that by now:)
Anyway, keep me updated please. It will be interesting.

Hi,
The website http://www.phoenyx.net continues to in distributing the stolen source code from our proprietry game. The owner refuses to remove the content, despite acknowledging that the source was stolen from us only a few months ago.
Please deal with this, and treat this email as formal notice. Our lawyers will amicable be contacting you in the near future. I hope that this unpleasentness can be dealt with swiftly, so that we can concentrate on producing quality games.
I made no statements about the validity of the assumptions, merely that your logic was faulty.
And you have countered that with a statement that is true, (If X says Y, then it does not imply that Y is true) but irrelevant.
Saying "Java software is not truly free because Java software is not truly free." is not necessarily logical fallicy, merely an supported argument. You would have to show it to be invalid, not just unsubstantiated.
Without stating my own opinions, I want to point out that it's funny that you talk about stupid logic, when you made a horrible logical mistake yourself.
"I find it very disturbing that RMS (and you) would attempt to verbally exclude all the open source software that thousands of developers are giving to the world every day simply to take a cheap political stab at Sun. I would like to think that F/OSS is INCLUSIONARY not exclusionary."
You came to this conclusion from the statement:
"To be truly free [speech] software, your language cannot be under a corporate thumb like that."
The only conclusion you can draw from this is that the software is therefore not truly free, and that presumably RMS wants truly free software.
Therefore for all programs, (RMS feels) that either you don't have it in java (or other 'non-free' language) or you make java free (gcj etc.)
To use an analogy to help you understand where you went wrong, consider slaves. I might say "No man can truly be free if he works somewhere where he is whipped." Therefore the conclusion is that a man should work somewhere where he isn't whipped, or should change things so he isn't whipped anymore. It does not constitute a critism to the man himself.

very sweet!
speaking of such things, does pov-ray do radiosity? Or sticks only to ray traced sharp shadows?
How about this instead.
You put the article in the top directory: ~/
Then you add meta data for when it was created, who wrote it, what project it is for etc.
Then to find it, all you do is type in a few keywords.
Btw, have a play with juk. It's really cool, and I wish it could do the whole filesystem like it.

They were skilled, not necessarily particulary intelligent.
You could have someone really stupid, but brilliant on a violin I'm sure.

I don't think that you can control the spread at all. Not even in the slightest - it is distributed through kazaa and torrent far faster anyway.
On the assumption that this is true, would you still think it's right for ISP's to pull content straight away, without any investigation?
Indeed. It's all in good fun - I did not of course send that email btw.
I'm curious, btw, about what sort of material could be up on the web that can cause real harm.
The web isn't the most efficent way to distribute copyrighted material - that's what file sharing apps are for.
Given your age and sex, and I hope you'll excuse the sterotype if I'm wrong, I'm guessing that you do have one thing in mind - child porn.
If so; I doubt it is circulated on public websites. I would suspect that they have their own private groups and methods of distribution.
If not, then I'm not sure what else you could be thinking of that is going to cause harm.
rats.

actually no, you need it to be automatically updated:
watch grep TODO
would work though
Sounds like a task list to me. You add tasks from the code, and tick them off when done.
Everyone keeps saying "conditioned" which sounds bad and makes me feel uncomfortable :)
:)
I think the key is just where you said "fun-obstacle". I mean it's a game, I bought it to blow stuff up. You can't be surprised if I do.
In Half Life 1, if you think about it, you could stop all the problems and solve the game by just not ever doing the experiment in the first place
It might be worth using differential gps for this to get a higher resolution.
Sigh.
The statement:
"Magic exists because no one has proven it doesn't."
Isn't necessarily invalid. It's just unsubstantiated.
Why is this so hard for people to understand?
You're not too good with this logic thing.
I suggest you read a book on arguing.
I made no statements about the validity of the assumptions, merely that your logic was faulty.
And you have countered that with a statement that is true, (If X says Y, then it does not imply that Y is true) but irrelevant.
Saying "Java software is not truly free because Java software is not truly free." is not necessarily logical fallicy, merely an supported argument. You would have to show it to be invalid, not just unsubstantiated.
I just thought of the obvious solution.
Give them a time limit, and let them know that they have to rush. Then they'll take the path of least resistence - e.g. the window.
Oh Sure. Actually I was thinking of the various times when you sneak past guard rooms. Instead I clang about, then try to kill them all :\

Even with stealth games, I take the hardest route.

When I play thief 2, I always try to kill all the guards, rather than just sneaking round them.
I want to get my money's worth.
