Tool - Lateralus
79 minutes, 53 seconds of nothing but pure, unadulterated bliss. enjoyed WAY more than 10-40+ hours, something like 200-300 by now, by my estimate. That's a lot of entertainment for 20$CDN. Coincidentally, it's the second CD i've actually paid money for since '96. the other was the Salival box set, which i've enjoyed equally as much. Record companies can spend all the time they want trying to be evil, but unless I get some damn good music out of it, i'm not paying the money.
While studying for my Knowledge Engineering degree, I did some work with genetic algorithms, but was far more confused/interested in neural networks. If a group (this will NEVER be a one person endeavor) ever does a good job on a neural network, then maybe AI will move beyond the rut it's been in for about 15 years...

"maybe she should have investigated a Free Software solution or submitted it as a bug report to the development teams that work for the same company she does."
Yeah, and maybe she should just get her work done instead of trying to figure out how to compile software on her machine, or report a bug to the development team. What good would a bug report have done anyway? "Yeah, my spell checker for applixware doesn't work right, it gives me stupid suggestions for words i've spelled correctly" 10$ says she'd get an email back saying she's a luser, or something to that effect. Some people can't waste all this time, and have some work to do.
Also, I think the writer was mainly insulting the tech based on his reaction of just smirking like he's a big superstar linux guru, rather than the shirt, though if you're wearing a wife-beater shirt to work in IT, you deserve to be insulted.
Before there are enough people who even KNOW that this is a possiblity, there will be some better technology that gives more range/reliability. It's silly to think that people are going to put up enough access points to create this kind of network, if damn near every house on the street needs one.
If the 1.0 release turns out to be something with rock solid stability/compliance, would it be possible that ISP's would start suggesting their customers use Mozilla, instead of IE? This would cut down on support costs associated with the bugs in IE, which i'm sure any ISP would be happy to do.
I fail to see how this is a good thing for Mozilla, or Bugzilla. How many bugs are in the latest version of IE? It seems kind of silly to be proclaiming this as a great proof of the scalability of Mozilla. If MS were proclaiming, "We just fixed the 10,000th bug in IE 6.0!", people would do nothing but talk about how the software should have been thoroughly tested, and there should have been NO bugs! Sorry, i'm just bitter against everything linux now that i've wasted 80$ on Mandrake 8.0 only to find out linux is a big waste of my time on the computer. Maybe when I have 2 years to waste learning a non-intuitive OS, i'll give it a shot again. And maybe every few days, I can go download the latest version of every piece of software I use. Including the most basic of them, the browser. Then, I guess i'd also get to recompile it, to make sure it works with my specific version of linux, and hopefully work with my specific processor. Of course, it will still have about 10,000 of those 100,000 bugs that have been reported, but not yet fixed. Great. Talk about your mainstream-ready OS.
I bought the iFeel mouse, and my roommate bought the iFeel mouseman about 6 months ago. They had just come out, and we saw them at the store, with nothing else to spend our money on that day. We both think they are the best mice we've ever used. He prefers the bigger mouse (envy?), while i prefer the smaller one. I'm not sure what you mean by saying saying it's a simple/flat mouse. The iFeel Mouseman is quite an advanced looking piece of machinery, just a little too big for me. I preferred the standard iFeel Mouse. I was moving from a standard wheel mouse, so i was totally blown away with the optical AND iFeel capabilities. It just seems to make it easier to "know" i'm on a button, because the mouse vibrates just slightly while i'm moving over a button. There is definitely a lot of potential there that still needs to be realized though. Someone mentioned that it hurt their wrist, but mine are fine after 8-10 hour diablo 2 super-fast-clicking sessions. can't say I use it much for work, since I am stuck with the plain old IBMer at work. It's really nice though, hopefully people will do more to make it useful for other applications.
I believe Opera is totally free now. at least, that was the case about 4 months ago when I gave it a try. They said something like "due to popular demand."
Has anyone read his book, "Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how things are"? A very interesting, thought provoking book which describes, among other things, the ways that aliens built the pyramids. Very new-age, with discussions about the next level of human consciousness (46&2) and other exploits of those pesky aliens. Definitely worth a read, and a must-read for any fan of those sultans of free thought, Tool.
Now you're just being ridiculous. I would use much stronger words than bitter to describe the posts you've made, but it would be in poor taste. Feminism is a great thing until it becomes Femininazism.
I started reading this story with the idea that Java is completely useless when compared with C++. Basically out of ignorance, and laziness. I started the one required Java course for my Knowledge Engineering degree. I dropped out of the course, because it seemed totally worthless to me after taking 6(!) courses in C/C++. I lost a couple points in my average, but this was my final year, and I wasn't concerned with going from 89 to 86-87. In the end, I suppose, I should probably give Java a little more of a chance. Thanks to you folks for shaking me into spend some hours learning something new, and probably making more money.
NBA Jam isn't exactly 80's I guess, but we got it for 1200$ CDN. There is a HUGE warehouse in Nova Scotia, Canada. The owner was a friend of a friend who let 3 of us come in and have a look around. I still get goosebumps thinking about all the stuff they have in there. I'm quite certain these types of warehouses are all around. Ebay is cluttered with the machines, as well as the Jamma boards. It's not a hard hobby to get in to at all. I can't really compile all the links, etc. that he has into this post, but if you're really interested in getting into this, email me. There's lots of cool stuff to learn about them.

well, XP requires 64 megs RAM minimum, and the install is about 1.3 gigs...

hey, I didn't see it coming, and it made me laugh. if only I had some mod points...

"Besides, who wants to come into the office every morning, turn on their computer, and then have to log on to a VPN?"
You just described every day of my life. VPN my ass, all it does is make it take 15 minutes to load up notepad, and an hour to recieve a 300K email.

I'll give you 50 bucks. Canadian.
This is the first i've heard of this movie, and the main character looks like he'll be coo-razy to render.
That was a lot funnier than it should have been...
isn't this the same tech that John Carmack is working on? who wants to take bets he goes higher than the japanese?

My friend, read the cocakarma story mentioned above. If that doesn't win something, the world is as corrupt as the story tells you.
That was a good story, for sure. If I had the 50$, you'd be up for it. the pokecard, classic!
