When I first started learning Linux I was using a generic ET4000 card and a multiple-fixed-frequency monitor. The big problem was that the video card was *also* multiple-fixed-frequency! And the parameters for the card and monitor (as listed in both of their manuals) didn't match up exactly, so X couldn't find a workable resolution. I never could get away from the VGA server with this setup. Now I've got a multi-synch monitor with a wide range of freqs. for both horizontal and vertical and a card that could handle much more than I could throw at it... everything's simple if you've got money to spend.
But it still bugs me that I couldn't get the old setup working.
The story I heard is that floating point routines aren't that hard to code, but it's considered 'drudge work.' Gates and Allen were in the library discussing how neither of them wanted to code it when a fellow student volunteered.
The idea of the plow is good, but it would never have been worth much without the collar that allowed the animal to use all of it's strength to pull it.
I agree. I like this idea. I started wondering what the limitations would be and pictured (in my head) how an 'about face' movement would work. Lift right foot and move it behind left foot, transfer weight to right toes letting up on left foot except for a little on left heel, introduce lateral force (to the right) on right toes swinging the body around, when body is completely rotated place feet flat on the ground.
If response time is fast enough I think it could work.
And as for response time, you might need to back away from one central processor controlling the whole aparatus, instead using seperate processors in each robot arm feeding results as high level messages to the central processor.
Patent office is the source of this, sue them.

IMO, the patent office is harming the public good by their actions. Maybe the 'information technology community of users' should sue them as a class.
It took three months to do the latter and the problem was only solved when I stumbled across an alsmost unrelated post on Deja informin me that my serial port should be given world read access.

A better way is to find what group your modem's serial port belongs to and add your username to that group in/etc/groups.
I see two ways to take this news... either pressure ISPs to 'quarantine' the 'bad' pages, or punish CyberPatrol for distributing a faulty product. I'd prefer the latter, so come on everybody... put some four letter words in every webpage you can reach... let's deny the entire internet to everyone who chooses to use CyberPatrol!;)
I recommend alt.binaries.multimedia.buffy-v-slayer Both the 'delayed' episodes are there...spend the time to get the higher quality version of Graduation Day Part 2, the smaller version is much too blurry.
Heinlein had a (minor) character in one of his books who could do at least two complex tasks at once...read a newspaper and follow a complicated political argument. Is this actually possible? Can any of you do something like this, or know someone who can?

Now they can show that they took the moral/ethical implications into account before doing what they were going to do anyway. ;)

Joss Whedon (the producer) didn't yank the finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the WB network did. Joss is on record saying "Bootleg that puppy!"
