Mod this up, that quote is serious. You DON'T want to get into the habit of using GOTOs and other crap like that. Start with Java or Python or something.
Hydgrogen fuel cells run on air eh? And it's all a big cover up by the corporations. Righhhhttt.
Actually, they run on hydrogen - it's not just a clever name. It takes a significant amount of energy to produce that hydrogen. (Whether it be from water electrolysis, methanol, etc). So where does this energy come from to make the hydrogen?
Hold on... I may be out to lunch here but I think the two frequncies you are talking about are different things. The human ear can hear somewhere in the range from 0 Hz to 20 kHz generally (depends how good your hearing is). The 44.1kHz is a different thing, it is the sampling rate. i.e. 44100 16-bit samples per second.
This attitude is very interesting. What you consistently imply in your posts is that anything that doesn't have physical substance doesn't have real value.
I'm interested, what do you do for a living? (Actually I think you are a student, but what will you be doing?) Is it like a labourer or carpenter or something? Or is it something that involves using your brain to produce something intangible? (E.g. programmer, research, author) Do you consider what those professions do to have any value or should everything they produce be freely available?
You think you had it bad with a TI-83? We would 'ave dreamed of having a TI-83! Our school had just one computer with only one bit of memory, and the only operation it could perform was XOR. We had to pass it around the class and hope that no one set the bit before it got to us!
Holy shit that was funny. Nice work, there are tears streaming down my face.
This is an interesting thread. I'm honestly not trolling here, but if no one actually resues code doesn't it make it seem like all of Object Oriented program is a sham? If no one even takes full chunks and use them then they certainly don't inherit from classes that other people wrote. (I know there is value in OO stuff in that your project can be well structured, even if there is no reuse). But reuse is a huge motivator behind OO, encapsulation, all that sort of stuff. Why don't we all just write everything in C/assembly. (Well, I guess lots of open source/linux stuff does).
It's good to know you considered it useful. I've been completely amazed at the uproar over U of C's virus course. (I'm considering taking it but it doesn't fit into my schedule well.:( ) All these threats like "don't apply for a job here if you took the course". And beautiful circular arguments like "Only bad programmers write viruses so if you take the course you are a bad programmer". Very interesting.
Cool link, thanks. It's hard to tell from the perspective but the Palm m505 does look thinner doesn't in? Thickness is the most important dimension to me. Interesting that the 1910 is not as wide. I'd like to hold it in my hand and see what it's like.
I'd assume they already have some sort of deal with the credit card companies who probably weren't wild about 3 million $1 transactions to start with - I believe lots of small charges is a theft warning sign.
Depends if you want to carry around a little computer or a PDA. No doubt that PPCs have more features, but they are considerably bigger and suck up the batteries much faster. I prefer PDAs as small as possible - I like the Palm V form factor.
First off, I really like his designs. I love my iPod and I very much want an iMac. I don't wanna sound like a whiny brat, BUTT.....
Why don't the engineers who fit the stuff into these designs get any credit? Sure he comes up with a neat good looking idea, but it takes a hell of a lot more than a good idea to make a sucessful product. Someone actually needs to implement it and make it possible. I really doubt it was easy to fit a full computer inside the iMac base w/o a fan. Kudos to the 'geers.

Selfishly? Wow. The man has probably donated more money to charity than any single person in the world. He has my respect for that.
Damn marketroids. Eight-oh-two-dot-elevent-gee is a perfectly memorable name AND it rolls off the tongue so nicely!
I will take this oppourtunity to gain easy karma and inform you that 0x539 is hexadecimal for "1337" which is hacker-speak for "elite".

Good thing you posted that anonymously when using the U word. You were sure to be sued.
I think it works on the same premise as a Flux Capacitor.
DVDA emoticon: :-O

Well, now you have a secret weapon when the terrorists have hijacked the plane. Just whip out your cell phone.

I love putting in a 20, getting a huge stream of quarters and just screaming "JACKPOT!" with tears running down my face.
Who can even find Canda on the map, being way down there and all. ;)

At which point you switched parents right?
Hahaha, the insightful moderation amuses me. I thought you were joking, and setting up the obvious joke - embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word!
Do you think this means that everyone gets to preview, not just subscribers? Or did someone accidentally release the wrong Slashcode?

Caffine interferes with programming!?!? FWHAT! My blood is 99% caffiene!
Good point. Why is this even under the Apple section. It has very little to do with Apple.
