I found Rogers to be "bursty". There would be times when it would be fast, but there would be a couple of seconds where the speed dropped to zero. Overall speed seemed slower than DSL (no hard numbers, just a general "feel"). Also, at my previous residence, it took around two weeks from installation to connection. Rogers charges an extra $10/Month if you don't get cable, and they do not give static IPs, nor do they allow you to run servers. My DSL provider gives me faster, smoother service, a static IP address, and I can run servers to my heart's content for $36.33/month. It was a no brainer.
It is apparent because someone has looked at the code and verified that sections of code are duplicated. This was mentioned on slashdot a week or two ago.
Sorry folks. I misread the post. Credit card machines may be TRON devices, but they're generally not in your home. As for in your home... Perhaps your TV, VCR, DVD, Microwave Oven, Regular Oven, Thermostat, Stereo, Smoke Detector, or remote control is a TRON device. Or maybe your doorbell, carbon monoxide detector, sprinkler controller, clock/radio, toaster, coffee maker, or even your bathroom scale is a TRON device.
My guess would be the credit card swipe machines used in bars, restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, hardware stores, movie theatres, tourist traps,...[thousands of examples snipped]... and of course, miniature golf courses.
Up here in the Great White North, the Canadian Value of Music Coalition (a group of music industry types) is running a series of ads. The ads promote the idea that buying music helps make more music. (Check out their site for more info (Warning: flash intensive site)).
So, by extension, buying DVDs provides money to produce more movies.
Personally, I'd like to see the RIAA, and the MPAA take this sort of stance, rather than the "load the thing up with content protection and prosecute people" tack that they are using.
No, it doesn't take hundreds of people and millions of dollars to turn out a decent movie. For example, "Blair Witch Project", and "My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding". Much of today's music is done with PC driven MIDI synths. A DJ buddy of mine puts together his own tunes using FruityLoops. Sure, you're going to get a lot of schluff, but you're also going to get the tools into the hands of people who know that plot and character, not visual effects, are what makes a movie great.
In a way, it is the Cathederal and the Bazaar all over again. Hollywood's star maker machinery vs small independants with powerful tools.
Umm... We use the same phone number format in Canada. It is also used in Bermuda, and many Caribbean nations, including Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks & Caicos. Since there is nothing in his post to indicate that Byron was in the States. You need to broaden your area code list, because it is missing a few:
242 Bahamas
902 Nova Scotia
also missing:
432 Texas
682 Texas
772 Florida
862 New Jersey
572 and 622 are reserved for future use, so don't bother with them.
I seem to recall that on the first shuttle flight, when missing tiles were a *huge* concern, that the astronauts had some sort of chemical foam, or gel that they could use. It would burn off like the Apollo heat shields.
I didn't. I didn't see any of those scenes in any of the multiple times I've seen the movie. Not on TV, not on videotape. Perhaps they'll be on the DVD.
Surely Cyberdyne would have offsite backups in case of disaster. (Like, say, the building blowing up?)
They just played T2 on TV the other night. There were a lot of scenes that I'd never seen before (must have been a director's cut). Scenes like John Conner teaching T101 how to smile. T1000 killing the dog. Removing the chip from T101's head when they were in the garage. T1000 having sampling glitches after being frozen and reliquified. That is how John Conner was able to tell the T1000 apart from his mom. The T1000's feet had cloned the industrial plating that it was standing on. Unfortunately, the whole thing was so cut with commercials. Now I'll have to go rent the director's cut to fully appreciate the film.
True, the hydrolics would work, but how would they be controlled? The EMP would ruin the electronics that read the yoke and pedal positions. You wind up with a dead stick plane.
The idea is that you raise the livestock on the island, so that it is fresh, rather than shipping the meat from overseas.

RFID Explained
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Um... The RFID devices are already being built into the products, not into the tags, but into the products themselves. Also, microwaving an RFID tag embedded in an article of clothing is a fire hazzard. Oh, and what do you do when the embedded RFID device is built into something that would be destroyed by microwaves, say an MP3 player?
Granted, RFID tagged items would be a boon to inventory systems. But it does create an potentially undesirable electronic trail (manufacturer->vendor->credit/debit card->person)
Ah! The Atari. I read through the OS listing in my youth. The Atari had what were called Player/Missile Graphics (PMGs). There four "players" that were one byte wide, and ran the height of the screen. There were also four "missiles" which were two bits wide and also ran the height of the screen. The four missiles could be grouped to become a fifth player. The images were placed on the screen by the ANTIC chip. Each of the four (or five) players was moved horizontally by setting a byte. Vertical motion was achieved by shifting the image bytes up or down in memory.
Didn't Daedelus have the greek soldiers polish their shields, and use them as reflectors to set the phonecian navy on fire? Sounds like some seriously prior art to me, like 2500+ years prior.
I find the Google Toolbar to be quite a usefull little add-on to IE. Any time I want to search, it's there. Plus, it has the ability to highlight the search terms on the webpage. In addition, clicking on the search term highlight moves you from one occurence of the search term to the next one on the page.
With the signal rates of computers getting faster and faster, we need to pay attention to the length of the wire that the signal travels. On a parallel bus, the leading edge of bit 0 may arrive a little before, or a little after the leading edge of bit 7 (or 15, or whatever) simply because the bits take different, but parallel, paths. It is possible that a parallel system could slip bits because of this signal lag.

Yes, Right. I did not mean to imply which was the original, and which was the copy, only that there was, in fact, duplicated lines of code.

Well... If it helps... Mars Polar Explorer crashed on Mars. So, your kids names are there... somewhere.

Hammurabi (aka Kingdom) was around since the sixties, a good ten to fifteen years before Intellivision.

That's what Alcan *wants* you to think.
Perhaps you could get your mom to write up a review. What was she thinking? What parts she found hard. What parts she found easy.

So, the US Government gets a fleet of nuclear subs, and the scientist gets a lollipop?
Lock the sales people in a room with a computer and a development system. When they have coded all the features they sold, they can come out...
...and spend the next few months taking tech support calls.
And more to the point, because they're in orbit they don't need to support their own weight.
