As the other post has noted, leap second insertion is standardized. In addition, there hasn't been a leap second since December 1998, and there will be none for at least the rest of this year.
When I was diagnosed with cancer I remembered a friend had gone to Germany for hip replacement. In his case (back in the early 90's) it would have cost him 20K in SoCal, cost, including travel, in Germany was 5K, for the same Swiss artificial hip.
So, I looked into it and ended up going to Germany for the two surgeries required. Cost, including travel, was 20.5K versus at least 50K in the states. 50K would have bankrupted my one person corporation. Of course for an American Germany does have some limitations such as lack of air conditioning and they apparently have never heard of ice:)
you must have constructed a very elaborate little fantasy world in your head
Much of bush's support is from the religous sector, especially "born-again christians". Religion is essentially a little fantasy world in your head, so this fits right in.
A friend of mine has come up with the only working definition that seems to apply. Child pornography is whatever gives a particular judge in a particular case a hardon.
That would explain the judge in Oklahoma City who sent his goons out to confiscate copies of academy award winning "The Tin Drum" from video rental stores.
It's even worse than you think:) My roundtrip ping time runs 1.2 to 1.3 seconds through a Tachyon satellite link. On the other hand, satellite was the only option here other than dial-up, and for web browsing or downloads it works just fine.
I found it interesting that the patent was issued in 1952, but the meeting to determine whether to go ahead with the technology in retailing wasn't until 1970. In other words, they waited until the patent expired, coincidence?
All I get is one (The Oregon PBS affiliate) through a local translator. Many people around here don't get any unless they go satellite. I wonder what will happen when analog TV transmission goes away. I have doubts that OPB will spend the money for a digital translator, I suspect they will just pull the plug on our area.
100mw is not permitted for FM unlicensed radio transmissions per part 15 of the FCC regs. For part 15 they go only by field strength at a certain distance from the antenna. 100mw into anything better than a dummy load will be way over the limits. Even the 25mw transmitters sold by Ramsey Electronics will exceed the limits in most cases.
SWTPC's UniFlex, Microware's OS-9, Cromemco's Cromix, etc.
Of those, I know that Microware's OS-9 was, and still is, found in many embedded systems. Even though Microware really doesn't exist anymore (it was bought by some other company), that doesn't stop companies from cranking out systems year after year using code written in the 80's and 90's.
One market for PDA's is Infrared links to embedded systems, typical uses are configuration and state of health inspection. These often use very simple protocols instead of actual IRDA frames. A common problem that has come up in the last year or so is Palm's use of the TI OMAP processors. These processors have a design defect that prevents them from properly handling anything other than IRDA frames. Devices using OMAP processors:
PalmOne Tungsten T, T2 (OMAP 1510, 144 MHz)
PalmOne Treo 600 (OMAP 310, 144 MHz)
PalmOne Zire 21, 71, Tungsten E (OMAP 311, 126 MHz)
So why the *hell* not just use paper votes in the first place? Empty boxes, you mark an X.
That's pretty much what we do in Oregon. They mail you a ballot (we don't waste our time with polling places), you fill in the little bubbles, and mail it back in. There's about two weeks between when you get the ballot and when it's due. And if you don't like the results we have the doctor assisted suicide to take care of that too:)
Well, this was in an academic setting with generic pascal
By "generic" you probably mean Jenson and Wirth, which nobody actually uses for anything useful.
It is not as clear unless you are familiar with inc() what inc() does
Of course the same thing could be said about "writeln":)
The other arguement is that if inc() is a call to a function then you have the overhead that involves
Inc is built into the language, it will generate the same code as a:= a + 1; or as a C compiler generates for a++; given the same competency level of the compiler writer.
Why not give Pascal all the operators of Perl then?
That's one of the things I like about Pascal versus many other languages (including C and it's spawns), the lack of a million and one punctuation mark combinations.
AMEX said - we will see what we can do but AOL is hard to deal with. That is the story so far - see how well your CC takes care of fraudulant charges for you!
That sounds like the AMEX I've had experience with. Many years ago they wanted to charge me twice for the same airline tickets. I eventually had to have an attorney beat them into submission, needless to say I will never do business with them again.
You can also get "sorta Part 15 compliant" transmitters if you only want to cover a 1/4 mile radius or less. I put together one of these kits: FM100B and it works well.
As for subversive news, the article mentioned Democracy Now, I've never heard that one, but I often catch Free Speach Radio News on Pacifica Radio's streaming audio, or if I miss it, download it from FSRN
Photovoltaic cells actually take more energy to produce than they will output over their lifetime. This makes them little more than a large, wasteful battery.
Hard to imagine people are still spreading this dis-information. Modern solar panels start producing more energy than they consumed for their manufacture within 2-4 years depending on where they are installed.

I only scored 46 points on the skilled worker test. I lost a lot of points because I am self taught even though I have almost 30 years experience.

I sure hope they actually mean soldering.

If he's a viewer of FOX news then he's hopelessly misinformed.
My Kyocera KC120 panels produce 12 watts per square foot, 3.8 doesn't sound above average to me.
Laugh, it's funny.

I think there is a time range where profanity is allowed. I know I've heard "fuck" used on PBS late night, and that's a broadcast, not cable, station.

Most Pascal/Object Pascal programmers would use inc(a); which isn't quite as short as a++; but not too bad.

Ummm, that would be a comet, not an asteroid.
