I'll bet that these dates are much more boring than the one suggested, since they never occurred in many countries.
Look up Gregorian Calendar at wikipedia for more details.
Switching from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian one caused these days to be omitted to synchronize the calendar back to the seasons. The people went nuts about losing that many days from their lives, much like the furor over the switch to 2000,
The day of the week will depend on many factors, such as which calendar you are using, which may not even have a September, where you are from, and how accurately you have been marking off the days. Back then, there were many competing calenders, and it took a lot to get them aligned.
You know, if they are allowed to arm themselves with pencils, soon they will advance to rubber bands, then harder weapons. Soon the school will be destroyed by a carelessly handled nuclear warhead!
Since the only number of catches I've seen is zero, maybe we should change their budget to $xxx per terrorist caught. I bet they would become more interested in workable plans than in things that just make it look like they are doing something.
Actually, the dash-cam video of the Autonomous Audi speeding off the road, going over a cliff and crashing in a fiery explosion would be pretty damn awesome.
If you want the full Hollywood experience, the car needs to explode BEFORE it crashes into anything. And after it crashes, you need to have a burning wheel roll out of the flame-encrusted wreckage.
My memory may be dim, but I don't think that OS/2 even existed in the Windows 1.0 time frame. It wasn't until much later that OS/2 was even started as a project. You cannot compete if you don't exist. This article was about pre-existing projects that existed before Windows was dumped on the market.
I have always wondered why being on the Top500 list of supercomputers that important for those on the list.
I always choose my supercomputers from the Bottom500 list.
I will be better served by being told the advantage(s) or edge those who've been on that list have gotten since they got onto the list. Thanks.
At the price level these things cost, you can probably list your own requirements instead of accepting the vendors.
If you are purchasing a SuperComputer, you are looking for something to do raw number crunching. You aren't worrying about how well it will run MicroSoft Word, or how many frames/second you'll get out of doom.
The volume of traffic captured isn't as important as the actual traffic received.
According to the low volume making it ok, if someone could steal 100 bytes off your 600gb hard drive, you'd be ok with that because it is such a small percentage. If that 100 bytes contained everything needed to use your credit card, would you still feel the same? It's the data that is important, not the volume.
So, how much does it increase while a passenger is using the cell phone, because this nanny-state device will also block them. And, how much more risk is there when they are playing with a tricycle while driving? Shouldn't that be banned also? Don't we need laws to prevent any possible risk increase? How about sneezing, shouldn't we lock down the car if someone sneezes?
So, let's make a law demanding that a device that will require all knives to be locked into a sheave whenever you are in a car. You know, playing with knives while driving is dangerous. Playing with a tricycle while driving is also dangerous, so we need to have a law locking them down also.
In order to carry all the necessary chainsaws, shotguns, rocket launchers, ammo, etc. to scatter randomly across the environment for the soldiers to arm themselves with, you need as much cargo capacity as you can get. A low powered cargo vessel just cannot handle the mass.
Just make sure everyone starts out with a full set of weapons and ammo. Forcing everyone to fight over who gets the first BFG found would just cause a faster loss of personnel than just supplying them with the necessary equipment to survive the environment. Having to fight leageons of zombies with nothing but a chainsaw is not an easy situation to survive.
How often does this type of power theft cause the early demise of the thief? Many copper thieves kill themselves off every year, and they don't always target live power lines.
Slashdot Mirror
Instead of using this namby-pamby 48 volts, they should switch to 48,000 volts. That should reduce the repeat offenders by a large percentage.
My predictions are much more accurate than his, but then all my predictions are about the past.
Does that average out to $699 per Linux user?
How does this relate to any of the posters on slashdot, where an accidental bath once a year is more than enough?

Why would someone want to call you Shirley, Mr. Serious?
Isn't it amazing the number of computer innovations that have been created for the porn industry?

How many terrorists per year has the TSA caught?
Since the only number of catches I've seen is zero, maybe we should change their budget to $xxx per terrorist caught. I bet they would become more interested in workable plans than in things that just make it look like they are doing something.
Muslims kill more Muslims than the US does.
I guess we need to try harder, then.
Why would anyone spend so much time building a drone just to steal code? It's much easier to just wait for it to be released on wikilwaks.
If this follows lottery winners, the sad fact is they will probably blow through the entire thing in less than a year.

Well, I for one will not be impressed until it FLIES over Pike's peak.
I want my flying car, dammit!

I'm building one that runs on hydro power, but it's a little big with the swimming pool attached to it.

Just nuke it from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.
