Yeah, because losing a video game is like seeing your loved one destroyed by a horrible disease... If leveling changes are the worst thing that happens to you this year, count yourself lucky. Wow...
Well, Bush said he wouldn't sign an extension. Maybe they think they can sneak it past him if they spell it differently. "No, Mr. President. An extention is totally different from an extension. It's a good thing. Sign it and you'll get a cookie and then naptime!"
http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml - it's a freeware app that tells you each time something tries to register itself to run at startup. Those damn on-startup apps are what slow the machine down the most, especially for non-technical home users. You'll be amazed at how many things believe they must run every time you start your computer.
for a situation just a bit bigger than what you described: http://www.getcozy.com/fff.html. We like it. Here in Seattle we get quite a bit of condensation that needs to be emptied (or pumped if you want). This place also has other options you may wish to look at. Nice guys too.
The old version required you to be admin in order to run, which makes it tantalizing but ultimately useless in a business environment. Did they fix this?
...splintering the first 100 and causing the transntaionals to crack down. And don't get me started on the great Earth flood. I think stressed out plants on Red Mars (or Green Mars or Blue Mars) is the least of our worries...
I still pine for this shell in a BBS, DOS 3.3, Mac-still-sucked way. Amazingly powerful for its day. It should be open-sourced and truly, we would be faced with a Windows killer. http://www.geos-infobase.de/GEOS1/GEOS1_01.GIF
No, it doesn't. That's why it's a tool designed for those who would know that the +C needed to be there, and why it's not good for students. Especially on tests...
Introducing computers into schools is a bad idea in general (other than say computer science courses). History courses with computers are all about getting them running and then watching videos. Math courses with computers - or even calculators - are all about learning how to use them. English courses with computers... god, I can't even imagine. They just take time away from good, old-fashioned studying and leave the kids unprepared for the amount of research and booktime they'll need in college. But the sure look neat in pictures of the ultramodern classrooms, don't they? (Disclaimer: I went to school with lots of computers and suffered verily from it)
True to a point, but the TI-89 and TI-92 do symbolic algebra, so that you can ask for the integral of x^3 and it spits out x^4/4. These calculators are sold along with all the other graphing calculators. They do not help students, however. Math is like any other skill, you have to do it over and over again, and these calculators keep you from doing that. Moreover, the answers they spit out are often either in a different, but equivalent form than what the question asked. Plus, they certainly do not show work.
However, once you're done with integral and differential calculus, they're very handy, just like a graphing or symbolic calculator is very handy after algebra. They're just tools, designed to let skilled users work more quickly. The problem is we're putting the tools into the hands of those who won't benefit from them yet. Here's your lightsaber, young padawan; now go slice people with it, don't worry about that force-factoring thing.
Not likely. With the red states regressing more and more to the middle ages, the blue states will just get blue-er. Rossi didn't come out looking very statemans-like, a bit but not much. Sure, the GOP faithful are pissed. But the moderates and independents just wanted it over with. I think you're engaging in some seriously wishful thinking. WA is the bluest state in the union right now, with a Dem governor, Dem control of both houses of the legislature, and two Dem senators.
And then that whole destruction of the earth thing by Skynet that we'd prevented last time around, we totally copped out on and had it happen anyway... our bad, sorry.
Me too. But many people still want to be able to talk about the movie the next morning, but still aren't willing to brave the lines. We're talking about the 30-50 year olds who don't have the stamina anymore. They'd probably even pay more to be able to be in on the buzz without the three hours in the cold (or hot or rain or whatever).
How many people would have paid to see SW:III on opening night if they could download it, in order to avoid the lines? How many then would have paid again to see it in the theater to see in in full special effects glory? How many people now just buy their music from iTunes rather than pirate it, simply because it's easier? The huge gains media companies can reap from modern distribution would substantially lessen and offset the losses from piracy.
... The RIAA and MPAA heads can sleep easy tonight on their piles of money with their many beautiful women. Seriously, spend money on fixing the outdated media distribution channels and piracy will stop being worth it.

But I'd rather if you didn't copy it. http://www.jakobhoman.com/2007/09/she-married-geek-my-binary-wedding-ring.html The studio where I had it made (linked in post) can certainly do something unique for you too.
That's a fine way to start the day. Log on to the computer and find out Captain America is being killed off? Why don't you shoot my dog too?
Question: How did you get a second ethernet interface on there? USB dongle?

I just wanna scare 'em, not kill 'em
Perl. We don't need any more competition! Perl should just about scare the living daylights out of them.

First you give me sea bass, mutated sea bass and now these? I asked for sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads, people!
This is true. Unfortunately, it's also a good way for unmotivated students to avoid doing the work at all.
No, it doesn't. That's why it's a tool designed for those who would know that the +C needed to be there, and why it's not good for students. Especially on tests...
That's why I said until they're done with diff. and integral calculus. Multivariate would come after that...
