Do you have any idea what OS's used to cost before MS came out?
ProDOS cost me nothing to put on as many Apple IIs as I wanted (though I only had one back in the day because pretty much all hardware was expensive). Hell, it's still a free download today. (You'll need an "old-world" Mac to unpack it and write it to a double-density 3.5" floppy.)
That's interesting. I didn't know that.
How can I use this program with other vendors, like NewEgg, or someone smaller like CoolDrives?
Just add it onto your order.
What hardware "counts"? If I buy a motherboard from one place, a case from another, memory from another, and drives from another, could I buy discounted Windows at any of them?
Any of them should work. When I've needed OEM WinXP to install on a machine, I go to Fry's and pick up an IDE cable or power-splitter cable or something like that with it. (Yes, a cable counts as hardware. I suppose if you asked Microsoft, they'd insist that you need some combination of motherboard, processor, memory, and/or disk. On a practical level, though, I suspect the relationship Fry's, Newegg, etc. have with Microsoft is "ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies.")
As others have stated before... this beer will suck because the bulk of its fermentable sugars come from... "4kg sugar" and not the malt listed in the first part of the recipe.
They're only getting about a fourth of the fermentables from sugar. That's about typical for a strong Belgian ale; a tripel I make gets 2 lbs. of turbinado sugar (cheaper than candi sugar and it works as well) in a 5-gallon batch.
In additon (as mentioned before) the mashing schedule is f'd to say the least.
True...at 130-140F, they probably won't convert anything. 150-155F would be better.
Plus... the hopping schedule is f'd too.
I didn't even see anything that looked like a hopping schedule. Maybe they assumed that you would just put in the bittering hops at the start of the boil and the aroma hops at or near the end. Their instructions to let it simmer for an hour are disturbing, though, as there will be little or no alpha-acid isomerization at a simmer.
~2 ounces of noble hops in a ~22.5-gallon batch won't exactly contribute a tremendous amount of bitterness, either, especially for the somewhat strong kind of beer they're making.
Maybe they made their beer open source in the hope that beer geeks would fix their recipe for them.:-)
Except that it helps us get drunk, and that's not a bad thing, is it?;D
When We Drink,
We Get Drunk.
When We Get Drunk,
We Fall Asleep.
When We Fall Asleep,
We Commit No Sin.
When We Commit No Sin,
We Go To Heaven.
So, Let's All Get Drunk,
And Go To Heaven.
I certainly hope so, since after you drink it you'll have a hard time not producing derivative works...
Miller, Anheuser-Busch, and/or Coors might come after you for infringement, though, with the uncanny similarity between those "derivative works" and their products.
Yeah, I've had a wireless phone for years, never a single problem during a blackout, it works fine. So tell me again why we need to reinvent the cell phone?
Try living in a part of town with poor coverage sometime and see if you still don't see the need for an alternative.
The difference between Eniac and an Athlon 64 PC are.. speed and storage..
There's quite a bit more difference than that. ENIAC wasn't a stored-program computer. Programming ENIAC involved a bit more work than just punching some keys; you had to basically rewire it (not the whole thing; just some cables between different functional units) to change what the computer did.
I watch movies on my PB anytime I have to fly back east. So far, I've probably caused quite a few of them to be sold, when people noticed that I was watching something decent, instead of whatever third-rate movie the airline sprung for.
I'd like to see the other passengers' reactions when you start playing something like Airplane!...or better yet, Airport.
In addition from the "Deauthorize All" wisdom of other responses, may I also suggest investing in a CD-RW disc for the purposes of converting your iTunes song purchases to CD-DA tracks, then rip the tracks to MP3s.
Yes, I am well aware of the "damage" that happens when converting between lossless [sic] formats
Um...the damage occurs when converting between lossy formats, not when converting to/between lossless formats.
That said, the better approach would be to deprotect your files with Hymn. You'll get the same sound quality as the original and the same filesize (not larger, as it would be if you burned to CD and ripped to FLAC or whatever), and it'll play in anything that handles AAC (not just iPods and iTunes).
I have an iriver h320 and I completely agree that it is much harder to use, however I would choose it any day over an iPod. While you may not treat your ipod as a fashion accessory I believe a lot of people do.
Who gives a rip what other people do with their iPods? You sound like those people who started using Linux because they thought it made them more 1337 than the "Windoze lamerz," but who then switched from Linux to *BSD because Linux was getting too popular. Whether some kid whose parents bought him his iPod thinks it makes him cool shouldn't have any bearing on your decision on whether to buy one. Either it does the job you want it to do or it doesn't. I eventually bought an iPod photo because it's a bit less of a one-trick pony than the older models (I can dump digital-camera pix into it and view them without going through a computer, which is nice when you're out and about and the card in the camera fills up). I was using a Palm with AeroPlayer before that, but was getting tired of shuffling music on and off of it. With 60 GB instead of 512 MB, I can fit all of my music on it and still have tons of space for pix or other stuff.
My only question is, what's up with the Friday slots? Aren't those slots where shows usually die?
The X-Files used to be on Fridays IIRC, and it did OK up until the last season (when it jumped the shark). Besides, when you have MythTV, when a show is on is pretty much irrelevant.
They use 220V AC and we use 110V AC. Where do you think you're going to find a charger? You need to get yourself a step down transformer, or you'll never be able to charge the equipment!
Then again, if your GPS receiver is bus-powered (like this one) and if your notebook comes with an auto-voltage power supply (99% of them do), all you'll need for it is an adapter to go from an American plug to whatever you need where you're going (like this, which is supposed to adapt to nearly anything).
(There's a fair chance you'll need transformers for some of the other gadgets you might bring along, but your computer and GPS receiver probably aren't among them.)
Seems like you'd be better off making a flat keyboard, a la ST:TNG. OLED is flexible, so you could actually produce a single sheet, with indentations behind it that give a "flex". So, you get around the 100+ tiny OLEDS problem by now using a single OLED, and you also get something out of your flat input device that no one has been able to accomplish: tactile feedback.
Something tells me you've never used a computer with a touch "keyboard," such as an Atari 400. You don't want to use such a keyboard for anything even approximating an extended length of time. Even something like what you describe doesn't sound like there'd be nearly enough feedback; at most, it'd be like the click wheel on an iPod (OK for navigating through the menus and selecting songs, but there's a reason the built-in organizer features are read-only).
I think you will find it a sad experience when you find half the disks won't read. I went away overseas for 10 years, leaving behind an old 386 and about 50 5.25" disks that had ancient games, all the stuff I did at uni, and other pet programming projects on them. When I finally returned about 3 years ago, I decided I'd try to ressurect some of my old code - mostly for laughs. Although the drive worked OK in a P4, unfortunately, many of the disks were unreadable - and some of the old games that did actually start to run had major issues - presumably because of lack of support foe CGA/EGA etc.
How did you store them? I have 5.25" floppies for my Apple IIs that are up to 20 years old, and they're still readable. They've always been stored in plastic disk boxes at room temperature, not stashed in an attic or storage facility.
So what do you do with floppy drives that you cannot do with a thumb drive?
Umm...update the BIOS, perhaps?
How about sticking a Linux bootloader on one?
Or loading Ghost to image a Windows box across the network?
Basically, you'd use a floppy when you need to boot your computer from something other than the hard drive and don't want to go to the hassle of making a bootable CD-ROM (which itself usually involves making a bootable floppy anyway). Try doing that with your thumb drive...most computers won't boot from them.
You're confusing HDMI with HDCP. HDMI is just DVI-D combined with audio. HDCP is a "copy-prevention" scheme that can be applied to either HDMI or DVI-D (or the digital part of DVI-I). If your monitor has a DVI-I or DVI-D input, you can get a dongle that will adapt HDMI to DVI. (Dongles are also available going the other way, to plug a device with DVI output into a monitor with an HDMI input.)
What is possible is that the player will only talk to a monitor that supports HDCP. TFA says nothing one way or the other about this, but it'd be something to bitch about if this is the case. Given the existence of large numbers of monitors with DVI and/or HDMI inputs that don't support HDCP (this is especially true for DVI), a DVD player that will only talk to the handful of monitors that support HDCP should be considered broken. Unfortunately, you can't determine from TFA if this is the case.
Wow, what an offensive sig. Do you want to nuke the Vatican as well? How about Jerusalem to show the JDL a lesson? Don't stop there, what about flattening Amritsar to get those Sikhs in line too?
Last time I checked, Catholics, Jews, and Sikhs weren't flying airliners into skyscrapers and blowing up buses and subways. They also weren't strapping on bomb belts and wandering into crowded shopping malls, nightclubs, and schools, or slicing off people's heads with rusty knives, or leaving bombs by the side of the road to kill whoever happens by.
They all have condemnations of the London bombings on their front pages.
Does the word "taqqiya" mean anything to you? The Koran basically allows Muslims to lie to non-Muslims if there's some tactical advantage in it for them. With the indictments/convictions brought against various members of CAIR and other such organizations for terrorism-related activities (mostly financial support for the headchoppers and homicide bombers, not direct action), I'm not so sure I'd recommend putting much stock in anything they say.
Personally I can't see why anyone would collect music in iTunes DRM, it has no real value, at least if you have a CD you can re-sell it and use it with whatever device you want.
It's easy enough to strip off the DRM. Hell, iTunes will burn a fully standards-compliant audio CD for you if you can't figure out Hymn. Either way, you can play your downloads on whatever device you want. I played my iTMS downloads on my Palm (transcoded to Ogg Vorbis at first, but now it'll play AAC) long before I bought an iPod.
True, but lets not include Iraq in "the war on terror". According to the U.S. state department, Iraq was the only county in the middle east which did NOT have any al Qaeda connections.
After the US and Britain's ruthless and unprovoked attack on Mussolini's Italy, anyway. There was no proof that Italy was in any way involved with either the invasion of Poland or the attack at Pearl Harbor.
This is not analogous. There was not, and has never been, any link between Al Qaeda, the perpitrators of 9/11, and Saddam Hussien's Baathist regime.
They're not being Islamic, and they're not Holy. Did you notice that every major Islamic organization so far has condemned and distanced themselves from those groups?
What organizations would those be? Their silence has been deafening.
