I have three children, (7, 4, and 1 month). The 7 year old and 4 year old love these games. The like the way they have to think (read out-think dad). Nothing gives them greater joy than knowing they figured something out that they did not know before or that someone else did not notice when they were looking at the board.

Because extreme cycling to the exclusion of all impact related excercise can promote early osteoporosis. Bicycling magazine had an article on it earlier this year. It was a fairly informative article. I believe it was in the january or february issue.
I agree. I have a cold and got light headed and nearly unconcious when I read the above post. Then I read your sig..... And my ability to breathe departed.
Certain posts should ome with health warnings. Just imagine what would have happend if some on a vetilator had read that. They would be dead by now.
James P. Hogan wrote in his Giants series of novels of a race that once they had achieved immortality they became a race of mental geriatrics. This caused inovation to cease because the race KNEW what was possible and impossible. Lack of mortality gave no one a reason to try and do that which the elders said was impossible, they ceased to dream and inovate. I would not be surprised if that were what would happen to us. The ancient humans would stiffle the young humans desire for research and discovery due to apathy.
I think that mortallity gives us a reason to struggle and achieve, because we know time is limited.
The First class action lawsuit here is for ALL developers who have ever had a patch accepted into the Kernel to sue SCO for not sharing the money with them when thier work makes up most of the Kernel.
The Second class action lawsuit is from ALL of the users who are being extorted by SCO through this licensing scheme.
I am ready to contribute funds to support these two counter suits.
A debugger that will allow you to capture the value of a variable and log it's state with respect to time and code execution. That way you can step through a log side by side with a log of the code excuted line by line. That would be my wish.
I know the same could be achieved with lots of printfs,couts or System.err.println,( I use this technique myself, in conjunction with JAVAs logging API ) but those are a pain to add and remove from code, especially in JAVA.
As a professional who writes software for phone systems and switches, I'm telling you compliance with that date is impossible as are the other CALEA requirements. There is too much old telecomunications equipment that cannot be upgraded by then. The Original rules written after the 1996 Telecommunications Act was passed was going to give us a few more years. This date is completely irrational.
If we are trying to defend the DeCSS code on the grounds that Code is Speech and therefore protected by the first amdenment then we cannot say that distributing virus source code should not be allowed. That would restrict one form of speech but not another. That would play into the RIAA and MPAA's hands.
This is just going to make it harder for Java to proliferate. They have basically done what they claim the are trying to avoid. By limiting the ability of Open Source developers to develop/test/validate there solution implementations Sun is locking itself into a situation where the Java implementation will be come a fragmented mess of proprietary implemenetations that all differ from specifications just a little bit because it is a feature that the vendor thought would be neat!
Becuase in some cases it is just barely coming alive. If you look at the source code for most of the Open Source Projects you can see that a vast majority of them are still written in C. C++ still does not have as much of an installed base as C.
Predictions that the.NET technology is going to knock off a language base over night is just plain false when one considers just how many technologies are all ready implemented in that langauge and how important it is that those technologies be maintained.
It is more likely that.NET will be a short lived fad than the likelyhood that an established technology will just disapear in the night.
The article says they are California State Senators not U.S. Senators. It is still a clear example of government try to regulate one more thing though.
It is not totally false. It is a simple fact of Wireless communication design that is illustrated by Satelite communication frequncies. The uplink is always the higher frequency due to easily obtainable power. The downlink from the satelite to the earth is at the lower frequency due to power availability limits. Proof of this is available in any standard wireless communications text book. While comparing Geo-synchronus communications to terestrial communications may be different in scale, the principles of their design are the same.
The reason Sprint probably wanted the band at a higher frequency is because higher frequency = high power needed to transmit, higher power needed = higher power batteries (AKA higher cost batteries for mobile devices), power supplies etc. With high cost of implementation comes slower adoption and therefore less new comers to the market place to compete with their existing infrastructure, services, etc.
Has any thought it bizarre that Sony a producer of electronics that drive the RIAA and the MPAA up the wall also supports their activities.
I mean you can buy Sony TIVOs, sony CD-ROM burners, and a host of other devices that allow copyrighted content to copied or stored.
They also produce the content (TV programs, Movies, and music) that the MPAA and RIAA are suing to "protect". The MPAA and the RIAA get their money from the copyright holders, i.e. Sony and the like.
It seems to me that that perhaps the RIAA and the MPAA who get their money from Sony and the like should not bite the hand that feeds them. If they successfully out law or curb the use of the devies we enjoy this will directly affect Sony's bottom line and therefore the RIAA and MPAA's.

Working for a small company run by liars is the worst environment I have experienced so far.
What made it so bad is that they did not realize they were liars.

How about a Suliban head? They claim their code (read DNA) made it into Linux, seems a perfect corallary to me.
I know the same could be achieved with lots of printfs,couts or System.err.println,( I use this technique myself, in conjunction with JAVAs logging API ) but those are a pain to add and remove from code, especially in JAVA.
Just my two cents.

It is just much harder. Get some lobyists and have Congress change the law again. If they changed the law retroactively once they can do it again.
I will be a trully happy man when HP can give tech support to those of us who insist on putting Linux on their Laptops.
