Jet engines fall off by design. If a bird goes into the engine, the engine starts to come apart. There's lots of rotational energy there, and you want the engine to come off, rather than apply torque to the wing. The other case where you want the engine to come off is in a wheels up landing, because the engines hang below the body of the aircraft and, again, you want the engine to come off rather than the wing. Look at google for "engine fuse pin".
Whoa. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Or a document where the number of links could be described in that fashion. "Megahyperlinks" sounds cool, though. I wonder if there are any of those around.
You'll get money for grad school. Learn how to fire cool weapons like the M-16 and Stinger! If you become an Airborne Ranger, you will probably get a chance to get shot at! ("There is nothing quite so exhilarating as to be shot at, without result." Churchill) Even if you don't see combat, you will get the chance to spend weeks living and working in the mud!
I spent three years in the Army and I love my nice indoor programming job. Even if I am having to spend time this week debugging three year old uncommented VBA programs when I don't know VB Script.
I started programming with TurboC and Turbo Assembler. I'm now using Builder 5. The drag'n'drop interface is very nice, as are the make files (which are XML,btw). Borland has always had very good compilers, and the STL they use is quite nice. They also ship printed documentation, for those of us who actually rtfm. As soon as they have the C++ version done (RSN for about a year now), I'll buy it.
This article is also at K5. In fact, it's the same article. If you want to get comments from two different places, then please post the article at one place, and post a link to it at other places.
Gnome if free both ways. KDE has to be licensed for commercial use. At a hefty price, too. If they want to sell thousands of workstations they will want to keep the marginal costs low.
It just gives the damned dirty wogs jobs that are only slightly better than sweating in the fields. Why should we do anything for them anyway? They don't appreciate it at all! Do you think anyone in the USA is thankful that the Brits shipped their ideas of industrial revolution and capitalism over there? Of course not! Those ideas didn't do one bit of good for the USA! And promoting jobs in poor countries will just mean that the people in those countries will have no reason to leave. And we want them to stay where they are, so that we can continue to snipe at the lack of progress their societies are making, thus proving our intellectual superiority!
And that's why I support those who fight to end globalisation! To keep the wogs in their place!
Data storage format does. I know people who've had a hell of a time when they've realized that some vital data in the archives is on 5.25 inch disks. Any data on 8" floppy disks is probably unreadable, because the disk drives can't be found.
The grey scale should be in the documentation. CCD density can be calculated by width of scanner bar divided by number of CCD's. As for the rest, you may have to track down the manufacturers engineers. An alternative is to take apart a scanner and find out who manufactures the components, and contact them. Good luck.
It went to online only a couple of years ago, but Jerry Pournelle reports that it's being resurrected. Even in its last years it had great stuff in it. Go to your library and look at the April 98 issue, "Why Pc's crash, and mainframes don't". They could re-publish it today, just changing the dates, and it would be just as true.

I've seen those sort of tongue-in-cheek warnings on "new cool software" too.

Skylarov was arrested in the US, Yahoo isn't physically in France.
Skylaorv's best hope is that the 1st Amendment will trump the DMCA.
Should be
This article is from yesterday. Today they are reporting that Cox Won't Be Maintainer of 2.4 Linux Kernel

You've never used CB, have you? It's "ten-four" or "roger".

It's a good thing that I don't give a damn about karma. Lets me laugh at the ratings.
I told Valenti that we needed to pay those judges more. Ah well, I wonder how much an Amendment costs?

that a PBS station was involved in the production of LoTR. Does this mean that I'll stop hearing them beg for money twice a year?
While the biz is suffering, Linux is doing well, and will continue to do so.

Just imagined it. Eyes hurt. Head hurts. From trying to focus on small screen.

Is probably like arguing over the "best text editor".
Which is what he's talking about.
