The only thing I've noticed with my 171P is that stipple effects (like in Win2k when you hit shutdown) seem to flicker pretty bad, so that's another thing to check. Luckily, now that we have 16, and 24-bit graphics, we don't need stippling so much, so it rarely comes up.
That's what the "Pixel Clock" and "Phase" settings on your monitor are for. Adjust pixel clock until the shimmering is gone. Then you'll likely see vertical darker and lighter stripes. Use phase until those are gone too. Stippled images, as obtained by xsetroot -grey are the perfect test screen for adjusting phase and clock settings.
That's why there's 'economy class' and 'first class', but you'll never get 'first class' service at economy price, or else the first class will cease to exist.
Not true. Free upgrades do happen. If (due to overbooking or other SNAFU) Economy class is full, and there are still a couple of seats left in Business, they'll gladly give you Business without additional cost. And during the flight, you are treated the same way as those passengers that actually paid for Business.
No, it's 100% legal to post that on Slashdot. Check again in a week if you don't believe me. It'll still be there. The reason: it is legal to violate any intellectual property on Slashdot, except the Church of Scientology's. Just remember how quickly the
OT VIII postings (Fishman affidavits) disappeared... Yes, I know. That page shows no comments for lazarus142. The reason: they disappeared. D'oh.
Conclusion: Dave Miscavige is mightier than Bill Gates
Would the lawyers be able to do much if you said "it's the ascii equivalent of the numbers between the xth and yth digits of pi"?
No, unless they were from the Church of Scientology. Only the Church of Scientology is powerful enough to get comments pulled from Slashdot. Bow to Xenu!
Actually, the random number generator is the math coprocessor. And they are not even the first to think about this: such techniques were pioneered by Intel in the
first Pentiums

Videos must be a minimum of 10 seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds in length, and must be in one of the following formats: VHS, miniDV, or CD (MPEG, WMW, AVI, REAL, or QuickTtime).
Photos: Digital photos must be in.jpg format, must consist of a minimum of 240x180 and maximum of 480x360 pixels, and have a maximum file size of 60K.
Anybody else thinking about the same thing that I am thinking about? Write a credible essay. Then attach an incredible picture of your... you know what I mean.
With two telescopes separated by about 110 degrees longitude, the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) will have one of the most continuous records of this explosion.
Fortunately, they didn't call their telescope network the Global Optical Automatic Transient Search Experiment, whose headquarter are in the Christmas Islands.
Chief Judge Michael B. Mukasey, said detaining witnesses to compel testimony was a legitimate investigative tool.
What's next? Applying hot irons to witnesses to compel testimony? Looks like these detentions are just a form of "slow torture", which is a very questionable action for a country which wants to be labeled as democratic.
Am I missing something? How are these unique to Windows? Last time I checked both Linux and OS X have screen savers, play MP3's, and have desktop sounds.
Just extrapolate from presentations software. Even if a powerpoint presentation is run full screen it gives itself away not only through its cheesy stickfigures, but also through random menues that pop in, virus warnings (seen during an HP presentation...), screen saver popping up, speakers beeping, belching or making other funny noises, computer freezing and needing a reboot. It just doesn't look professional.
You rarely see such things happening with magicpoint, nor OpenOffice, nor LaTeX's seminar document class.
From there, it's only a small step to extrapolate to movie players.
Different people have different sense of humor. You are not a true slashgeek if you don't find these intentional quadrupes funny... kinda like a self-parody of Slash...;-)
Personnally, I find this year's April fool's much better then previous years', when most stories were just senseless drivel. This year's stories are believable enough that people could fall for them (just watch some of the comments that think this quadrupe was unintentional. In my book, that's falling for it. Of course some of these comments might just have pretended to be falling for it, in order to take in people like me;-). And there's still enough serious stories there that people cannot just blindly assume everything is a hoax either.
If you can calculate a sine, you can calculate pi much faster than the buffoon. So, if you want to show off an algorithm calculating pi, better avoid usage of any trigonometric functions (or worse: their inverse), or else it will look like an exercise in triviality.
The only way Buffoon's algorithm makes sense is if you actually physically throw the needle. If you just simulate the throw, it becomes ridiculous, as the simulation itself needs knowledge of pi, or of one of its derivatives.
Ok, so they were two years and two days off, and Dubya hit the trifecta.
Dude, that's MCSE, not MSCE. (Microsoft Certified Software Engineer, rather than MicroSoft Certified Engineer). So, the guy would not be confused with a Civil Engineer, or a Chemical Engineer, but rather with a Sandcastle Engineer or a Sewer Engineer, hehe...
The difference with your examples (well, most of them...) is that ISP's in general are flat rate, i.e. don't charge per bandwidth consumed, whereas the water co charges by cubic meter consumed, the electricity co charges by kilowatthour consumed, and the phone co charges per communication (in many parts of the world, at least. Free local communications as in the US is the exception).
If you pay for what you consume, there is no reason to restrict how many outlets you have (on the contrary...). If you pay flat rate, the provider has interest to not make it too easy to consume excessively.
If its that its being patented - can someone explain why it isn't a valid patent?
Or more importantly: why it isn't a desirable patent? Indeed, this patent means that AMD won't be able to pull similar stunts, which in my opinion is a good thing;-)
Especially if the police phrase it as "you WILL allow us to call him."
Why can't the police simply go to the phone co, and find out on whose name the subscription runs, and then go and arrest the guy? The phone co must have that info somewhere, or how would they know where to send the bill?

Yeah, so Bush's son too will have an excuse to invade Iraq: stop spam!

Now Dubya has an excuse to invade Turkey as well!

The difference, however, is that the global high-technology community can count...
Quoting from the source code of the applet:
Anybody still amazed that the result of the algorithm is pi?
Reminds me of the old strings -a /proc/kcore | fgrep "weapons of mass destruction" joke, let's call it Bush's grep command.
If you pay for what you consume, there is no reason to restrict how many outlets you have (on the contrary...). If you pay flat rate, the provider has interest to not make it too easy to consume excessively.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, it may no longer be a joke. Hopefully Bush won't decide to invade Europe, once he's done with Iraq.
Indeed. Just look at the calendar...
And, at the same time, it could use its giant clue-bat on those PhB that absolutely want to stick to their windows...
And now look at the other player of the game: must Pretzels obey the three laws of robotics? And do they know about the zeroth?
