There is a happy medium. Even a 16Mhz ARMv4 processor would be cheap enough and provide a hell-of-alot-more than a 8-bit MCU [with tacked on 16-bit register pairs].
Re: Gameboy Advanced:-)
Also the 6800 series are 8-bit not 16-bit as the site claims. Maybe the 8086 was a 32-bit processor because it could pair DX:AX in certain instructions [and DS:SI]:-)
It's called an index. My god are people really this stupid? I want to know what euclids algorithhm is, I flip to the back, look for euclid and goto the page.
I mean honestly how do you think people read texts before computers? Read every page looking for one particular element?
As for convenience, with a laptop you have to worry about batteries dying, software working properly and generally a laptop is hella bigger than a few paper back books.
As for your comment about researchers. I'd think most don't just scan paper anymore. LaTeX is fairly popular for academic submissions. LaTeX documents can be converted to many popular formats such as html, PS and PDF.
Doesn't sound right to me. Maybe because I finished my skoolin?
The only time you use "were" as a singular is for "you" e.g. "you were" not "you was". Otherwise it's "was". e.g. "I was..." and "He was" [or "(name) was"].
You obviously haven't listened to the calibre of people on say 10 meters lately have you?
That's a big 10-4, and how's that new 10-20 coming along "LazyRock"?
Some emergency service.
Plus I doubt the rigs are intering with all amateur bands. If 10/11 meters disappeared I would be super happy. Keep 70cm and 2m for the rest of civilized society.
I think it's mostly nostalgia for most people though quite a few "new" games don't offer much in the actual gaming department.
Like I just spent a few hours playing mechassault for xbox. It's a decently eyecandied game but honestly it gets really boring after the first couple levels. It's all the same shit and it's fairly hard [e.g. you die, do the whole level over!].
Games like SMB1 [my circa] had different levels and obstacles.
I think a clear distinction [which clearly I won't take credit for] is that back in the "day" games had to rely on some form "fun factor" to sell. I mean SMB1 had piss-poor graphics but was hella fun to play. Whereas by contrast Mechassault [and halo] have very nice graphics but get hella boring quickly.
I think part of what made those games "so much fun" was that they were new.
Sure PacMan is fairly limited and graphically inept but think about it. Before that there weren't really any arcade games [yes I know it wasn't the first but it was among the first].
So you had a choice between real physical games like baseball, soccer, cards, checkers, etc, or new "techy" flashy video games.
I imagine when "DirectBrain Video" systems become a reality the first few games will be "hits" even if 20 years later we look back and laugh at their quality.
"freedom". And what do you guys do with freedom that is so great?
American culture is by far the sickest of the world. If you're not some elite 300ft yacht sailing biggot you're some white trash idiot watching friends. All in the name of the "American Dream" which has nothing todo with an enlighten society and everything todo with being selfish and greedy.
Personally I love watching the turmoil on CNN. It's better than my stories!
I did it yesterday. You just plugged it in and it worked (*). No special modules, no kernel recompile, no boot parameters. Apparently, the whole ide-scsi mess isn't necessary anymore. Just plug in and launch xcdroast. Dead simple
I dunno about ide-scsi [I use it] but you have to have ATAPI SCSI stuff builtin not as a module. Specifcally
"Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support"
I think the problem is if you don't have that in the kernel [but as a module instead] the CDROM is identified as an IDE and not a SCSI device. Which means you can't burn shit.
Anyways, after a fresh gentoo install I added "hdb=ide-scsi" to my lilo append thingy, then I rebuilt the kernel with the ATAPI support built in. Boom it worked.
up2date is slow, only really for paying customers.
apt-get is buggy, it likes uninstalling say all of KDE at a whim, it also cannot easily cope with manual updates/changes.
emerge likes older versions of software [tetex v1 instead of v2, etc].
None of them are perfect. Definitely emerge is my favourite since it gives the most control and you don't hve to wait for people to make binaries for ya. Though apt-get is sufficient for 99% of linux users who don't need bleeding edge new stuff.
The jist of my post is that smokers are evil, they're everywhere and they have the social majority it seems [more like most are just pushovers when it comes to dealing with smokers].
And when rent comes due you take whatever job you can find which often may include working with smokers. Not by choice but because they're seemingly allowed to smoke on premises of public places and work environments.
Smokers are just plain mean people who really ought to have their heads thoroughly examined.
I'll take it either you have no empathy or you yourself are smoker.
From my personal experience being around smokers is never about choice. They at my school, bus stops, malls, heck my parents are smokers. I can't really go two steps outside without walking into a smoker.
The fact that smoking is legal at any workplace is purely discrimination. There isn't any way around it. To a anti-smoker as myself [and I'm not half as nuts as the "The Truth" guys] smoking is as offensive as say sexual harassment is to females. We banned sexual misconduct legally why cannot we ban smoking?
Also again you're wrong. Currently I live at home with my parents so I do have a choice about not working with smokers. That choice may lead me to unemployement [though in all honestly I can't say that I've been looking that hard]. The point is if I didn't live at home I would be *forced* to take the first job that was offered and if that involved smokers at work I would be forced to accept it or live on the streets.
Besides that most anti-anti-smoking rhetoric is just plain false. In Ottawa they outlawed indoor smoking and bars are still open. Restaurants still booming [in fact in Kanata where I live most restaurants are packed 7 days a week].
Also as an employer banning smoking serves other purposes. It may get employees to smoke less which means they work more [or at least aren't outside every 10 mins to smoke], they're healthier, more productive and take less time off for illnesses [n.b. a free gym is also handy].
As a human being it's simple empathy to not subject other people to possibly the dumbest habit anyone could pick up. Smoking smells bad, tastes awful, looks stupid, costs money and injurs those that are around.
So unless you are going to personally drive me to school, do my shopping and give me a job I don't see how you can say otherwise w.r.t. "options".
That's just like saying Black people don't HAVE to drink from the same foutain. Those Jews don't HAVE to live in the same neighbourhood. Those Chinks don't HAVE to goto our schools...
You seem to live a sheltered and poor life. I pity thee.
That's just plain fucking stupid. You don't need to smoke to survive. So why should I be denied a working environment because my boss wants clients to smoke inside?
And "simply decide" is not that simple. If that were the case then unemployment would be close to 0%.
I'd like to point out that second hand smoke is very dangerous for children who have parents who smoke.
I should know I had various lung related illnesses all throughout my childhood. How many kids do you know who has had pneumonia like 6 times and bronchitis 4 times?
Slashdot Mirror
you didn't define your variables. Obviously you haven't passed grade 9 math yet.
YOU FAIL IT.
Another form of proof [from positional number systems] is this
10 in base three is equal to
1 * 3^1 + 0 * 3^0 == 3 + 0 == 3
So yes, 10 in base 3 is equal to 3 in base 10.

that's the wrong word for the phrase than.
... in a past tense.
In that context it means I was a
E.g. "that was so funny while you were making a scene".
You meant to say

Here's a legitimate question. How many of these frivilous patents are sitting out there like landmines that people just don't know about?
How can you willfully infringe a patent you wouldn't reasonably expect to exist?

Go fuck yourselves!
Again your argument has no merit.
I mean, I imagine society would be cool if we all shared and didn't have money. I have no idea how to make that a reality.
I'm writing a book but I don't know how a press works. I write software but I don't know how a processor works.
So what?
I'm not sure that the government adopting OSS is such a good idea. I mean when something doesn't work who is held accountable? Linus? Alan? ...?
At least with proprietary technology there is the promise of accoutability [*] in the product.
[*] Yes I know this would mean Microsoft. DA damnit!
Tom
Because I know how to ue google? I'm sorry I was educated in the ways of doing research. It's so hard to be humble when I'm just so darn superior!
