So your saying the ears/brain don't do Nyquest filtering either? If you look at the frequency response of a human ear, you will find that they do send signals to the brain all the way up to about 40khz. All you need is a is the right EEG equipment and an ultrasonic sound generator to prove that to yourself (assuming that part of your ear still works). Your brain manages to filter them out. This is why no one has ever made a CD with a cymbal that sounds right.
The 1st gets was based on a while(*buf++=getchar()) type of loop Once the preprocessor got more goodies, and STDIO was cleaned up, it became: #define gets(x) fgets(x,BUFSIZ,stdin) So in the days when there were only 100 or so Unix sites you could declare strings with char buf[BUFSIZ]; and you couldn't overflow it.
I keep dns stuff in/var/named too but I've not quite found a good place for apache. For a virtual host, the a homepage would be/home/hosting/www.example.com/htdocs/index.html. I sort of look at/home as the new "/usr" (home directories used to be in/usr/userid). There are a few discussion of what "usr" stands for but I've got some very old AT&T references that claim it "user" spelled the unix way. Others claim its "unix system resources" but I don't buy that. In the old days, ls lived in/bin/ls, cc lived in/usr/bin/cc because it was often rebuilt and/usr/bin/ was often g+w or o+w.
In general you want stuff in partitions to change at the same rate,/var gets log files so they change every minute,/usr/bin/usr/lib should change only after an upgrade,/etc should change rarely but more than/usr/bin/
Running 800x600 on a 1600x1200 lcd works fine for someone with 20/40 or worse vision. However running 800x600 on a 1024x768 LCD may cause them many problems. You may also find that many of the larger screens tend to be resolutions that don't scale well from 800x600 or 1024x768 (which are about the only two useable sizes that most people would even try)
I was talking to my mother about this an hour ago. She wants to find a computer store where she can look at different brands of displays while sitting down with about the same level of light as her house. So far she hasn't found any shops like that.
I share copyright files every day. (www.ozmp3.com if you care).
I just happen to have the permission of the perfomers to put some of their work online. John for example got a nice new year eve gig in Singapore thanks to the online music. If you buy his CD at a gig, 1/2 of the cash goes to the CD production and the other other 1/2 goes to the local eye research hostpital.
I think Blair is wants a demotion that he doesn't even know it is a demotion.
Considering he lookes like he's trying to be "Governor Blair" from what I've seen on the tele. So is there any of the other 60 million people in the UK that are so keen to be a US state?
The packaging has blurry graphics, weak or bad color. Like a few CD's from the BMG CD club?
The package or disc has misspelled words. I've never known a photocopier to add spelling errors. I exepct the major bootlegers scaner/printers don't either.
The price is often way below retail value. The prices I've seen of bootleg stuff is the same over priced price.
The record label is missing or it's a company you've never heard of. How many legit record compaines would I know about? too many of them are flakey anyway.
It has cheaply made insert cards, often without liner notes or multiple folds. Like every legit CD I've bought since'85?
The sound quality is often poor or inconsistent. Like too many CD's I've bought since about '86 when the crud started showing up.
Ice tower like structures are found made of different materials in the oceans. A cross section of some types of mines (like diamonds) show the same structure on a different scale but out of other materials.
The US had its police state when it was run by England. Its the reason for most of the items in the Bill of Rights. Check it out some time, its got some interesting concepts.
A program that is ported to both windows and Os X is not likly to use teh advanced features of ether. From what I can see of x-plane, it seems to do its own gui and basicly uses a full screen window that it does its drawing in and that is done via open GL. Now that OS X is unix, it means there are other ways to deal with files and since the most windows like way happens to be a full posix way, it makes sense to use that in place of the two different sections of code that he might be using to read in thigns like config details.
No. Sometimes the spam has other reasons that aren't so clear. In fact I was just discussing this with someone from a bank's cc security department.
Recently there has been a number of spams with a twist on the getting asked to dial 90#. So why is there spam tring to convince people that an get an old trick to be considered to an urban ledgend? Its odd that someone is spending so much effort to get that message out.
In the past spam has been used to attempt to drive up stock prices and hurt other compaines reputations. Neither of those need real contact info.
With Popular Sci running an atricle and a/.ing, I'm sure Austin will be glad to get the attention. I've played with the demos over a number of years but never bought it until today.
X-plane now runs under os-x, I expect most of the hard work to get it to work well under linux will need to be done for the os-x port as well. If enough paying customers let austin know they still want a linux port, there is a chance it might happen but only if its not too much work.
It appears that the new UDP network system will allow x-plane to segment from the calculation engine from the display and all the instrments can already be done on an external computer.
flightgear runs under linux. x-plane runs under windows and os-x.
Flightgear requires a masvie set of other modules and the latest versions of thouse modules don't work so you have to dig up old versions. The only time I have ever got flight gear to run when I compiled it my self it was doing about a frame per minute. x-plane does better under an emulator than flight gear does.
Sometimes, you just can't use existing toolkits because it kills performance and I think is a problem with flightgear.
Its a very small isle and it tends to be full of other junk they are trying to ditch. From what I can tell, they bought a crate of shampoo and have unloaded it yet.
Years ago I went to a talk that Library Ltd sponsered by Stephen King where he talked about how the big book stores were evil and did that sort of thing.
Unless your in DC, skip the Smithsonian A&S. There are much better palces to go if your going out of your way to see planes.
The best aircraft museum is Wright Patterson in Dayton.
The best space museum is at Patrick AFB near Coco Beach (its on the south end of the Kennedy Space Center). This is not the museum that gets millions of vistors at Cape Kennedy). The Patrick AFB planes haven't been spraypainted all the right colors so you can look at the wiring and follow the plumbing of things like the V1 and early US made rockets. The other museums only cover the big picture and have planes that are good for photos, if you want to study how the stuff was built, Patrick (and Warner Robins AFB) are the only two places I know of that have reasonable displays but hurry, both are into "restoring" their collections with the spary paint.
There are more than enough IPv4 addresses. They only run out because the smallest allocation is a/19 because old ciscos couldn't cope with large routing tables. IPv6 increases the memory requirement for the routing table by a factor of 4 and so most routers that are just copeing with full tables now, could not deal with the same routers using IPv6 without more memory. Keep in mind that many of thouse routers are still at a point where they can't have more memory added.
The problem is all based on how routes are selected. In most cases, there is only one outbound route and a default route works great. Core routers need huge tables but they have custom hardware to deal with that situation. That leaves the dual homed small businesses but since you can't dual home a/26, there aren't too many of them.
If the entire world was divided into/24 and a router had 15 interfaces it should take 8 megabytes of memory to determine where each packet goes and with content addressable memory (like used in cache), that decision would take much less than 2ns.
The problem isn't running out of addresses, the problem is poor methods of dealing with the routing tables and that is only going to get worse with IPv6. It the routeing gets fixed, there are enough addresses for a very long time.
Go find 10 good unempolyed software guys that can manage that did well in the dot com bubble and didn't take a hit with the bust, who like curries, and want to see the the world. Get them on a plane to Bangalore. Get an office next to a golf course and start finding local mba's. Start with outsouring the managment of IT projects that have been outsourced and then just work your way into other departments. Once you have 51% of a compaines VP's outsosurced (IT, HR, Accounts are all easy targets), the rest is easy.
Registation means that the Libary of Congress has proof that you submitted the work on a specifc date. Basicly it means the SCO source is "Copyright 2003". It used to be requireed if you were to sue over copyright issues but it needed to be done before the copyright infringment happened.
What this means, is that the source code is now in the Library of Congress. Anyone want to go take a look at the offending code without a NDA?
Anyone can get a Copyright Awarded for any printed material. For example Linus could print out a copy of the Bill of Rights and send it in with the fee ($30?) and they would send back a statement that the work has been registered. They won't send something back saying "Hey, this wasn't written by you and we know it, copyright rejected".
This release was intended to show they are still playing the game. Meanwhile I'm sure IBM is going over its patent database very carefuly and the big stick that they will hit SCO with is gettig bigger every day.
IBM will counter with their big bag of patents. There is no way SCO isn't violating hundreds of them if not thousnads. That is why IBM maintains an expensive part of the company (that is seen as giving IBM no real income to the big investments) so IBM will nail SCO with that, and show its investors how much that patent portfilo is worth. SCO has no choice in the matter anymore, they will get squased like the bug that they are.
SCO stock is worthless however its a good one to play with if you like short term options. Short term options are sort fo like playing the lottery, a small investment may return much more but it may be worthless in the end. I guesss a put that didn't go your way would be worth about as much as the stock in 6 months. There are 4 sets of common options, there are calls and puts and you can buy or sell both. Two ways are low cost, no risk to lose any more than the cost of the option but you can gain money, the other two are nearly no cost but your liability is very high so check with your stock broker before playing with them or you may be buying sco shares at $5 so you can sell them to someone at $1.
Cell phones are electricaly noisey. A GSM phone sends out all kinds of nasty chips that get into everything. The problem is when a plane is in the clouds, there isn't much keeping it on course. There are a few gyros and the VOR (most planes still don't have GPS). At altitude, drifing off course isn't much of an issue but during an ILS approach, it could be a major disaster. An ILS approach is the pilot is looking at the instruments. There is a glide slope indicator (which a phone can mess up, I've seen it), an altermter which is based on ice not getting on the static port outside of the plane and the inner marker which is a low powered AM tranmitter. If your on the glide slope and you don't see the runway before the plane gets 200 ft above the runway (which should be when you pass the inner marker), you can't land. A modern airport will use lasers to measure the lowest level of the clouds and if they are 210 ft above the runway, they will let planes land.
So I can see the point where people get used to using their phones in the air and then some joker decides that since its ok most of the time, its ok to make a short call just before landing and flips on the phone as the plane hits the 200 foot from the ground mark and interfeers with something giving a pilot a false sense of position.
I see allowing more cell phone in a plane as setting a bad precedent.
Airplanes are not usually flying over populated areas and major highways
Go get a aviaion chart with Airways on it and you will find your are wrong. Airways in the US are defined by VORs and the VORs tend to be at major airports or the 4 corners of a large metro area. In the Missouri area, V10, V12 and V14 all parallel an interstate highway.
