He said it worked great. I think he started out trying to look "cool."
It's funny how many places still use text-based systems. Autozone is one example. Blockbuster does it too.
The latter was an interesting discovery, because the clerk preferred to type in the commands, rather than hit the shortcut keys. And she was a pretty quick typer.
Run an X server on (insert your preferred platform), then run your X client apps on each of the platforms they're needed on. Be it Linux, Win32, OS X...whatever.
Data isn't transferred in ASCII...it's a compacted binary format that follows the structure of XML, not the actual character set.
As an example, think of replacing every possible tag with a three- or four-bit binary code. All data types are transferred in binary, not ASCII representations of the data.
But someone mentioned on Slashdot actually implemented what sounded to me like a pretty good idea. They used the structure of XML to transfer data between client and server.
It makes sense, if you think about how graphical elements are grouped and have properties...
...hoping to make a +5 funny comment with The Onion's "Bill Gates Grants Self 18 Dexterity, 20 Charisma"... You know, topical Gates bashing. (Even if Funny mods don't grant karma.)
So I write out the comment, click preview. Perfect!
Now to add the link...only to find out The Onion moved it to their Premium section.
I carry a cell phone, three USB flash drives, and a PDA every time I go in there. I get that little pink sticker on all of them. Once, the previous stickers were still on the devices when I went back the next day.
The "sanctioned" directions change every few years, so those directions will eventually be out of date. The directions I was trained under last year were updated from the ones I learned in high school.
I figured "biology" would cover both, and I wanted to be more specific. After all, a guy with a background in chemistry and physics at its deepest is likely to find a lot of the concepts of microbiology like protein folding and enzyme behavior more intuitive than the generalizations of species identification and classification.
It's all very funny until someone is seriously hurt by this type of hacking.
A very real threat. In the 80s, Cliff Stoll watched a guy relay from his system into a machine called PETVAX. At the time, that machine controlled the output of a radioactive particle emitter. Specifically, it controlled whether it was routed to a medical patient or a science experiment.
Not quite as sophisticated as VPN, but I use SSH port-forwarding all the time in order to get access to services behind my friend's firewall. Usually VNC, but I'm going to start tunneling FTP, too, since JEdit's edit-files-over-sftp-plugin stopped working after he updated his OpenSSH version.

So in order to create an ethical AI, you have to license the patent.
But to make it more difficult to build an ethical device is unethical, so the patent is unethical.
Which makes the device following it unethical, which leaves the patent free to become ethical again.
But that means the device is ethical, which makes the patent unethical.
Fortunately, each cycle gives the expression less and less value.
Therefore, if we take the limit of the expression, we end up with a completely pointless answer.
Your head may hurt, but it makes perfect mathematical sense to me.
...when it was funded and published by a company it harms.
Of course, we'll later learn it was just to bolster a less obvious plan.
s'OK. A little googling brings up a good reference.

He's talking about Pelor! But Pelor's not evil...he's Neutral-Good.
It usually gets slow at about 8:00PM ET, then picks up again about 12 hours later.
...that gives me an idea.

Hmm...that'd take some bowl of fruit...
I was at AutoZone today. (Er, yesterday. It's after midnight.) I asked the sales clerk what their computer system was.
He said, "It's an old piece of crap." (He works on a green dumb terminal)
I asked him if it did the job well enough...
But someone mentioned on Slashdot actually implemented what sounded to me like a pretty good idea. They used the structure of XML to transfer data between client and server.

Not gonna tell your arch nemesis about fresh fruit, huh?
Give him some. The yellow might go away...
Don't forget to "chattr +S /dev/uspto" first...otherwise half the overwrites will never reach the disk before getting re-overwritten in the buffer.
Anyone who mods that down shouldn't even be modding in this article...
But it leaves you with a nice, superior feeling.

I've been writing a column about role playing games. (See my sig.) It's been running for about four months, even if it only exists in my blog. :)
I'm also looking for people interested in trying an idea I had for an email-based D&D game. Check out the FAQ for it.
That guy is sad. So sad.

Oi. From the product description page:
"Molded from a 74-year-old patient, it looks and feels just like the real thing!"
Bummer.

Tells you how much I know about it, doesn't it?
