I'd recommend the Barcade in Brooklyn instead - same owners, but more games, more people, and better selection of beer. A word of warning though, show up before 8 or 9pm otherwise it gets too crowded.
While you're in Brooklyn, find the Way Station Bar, they have various Sci-Fi themes along with a Tardis WC (and yes, it is bigger on the inside).
Finally, we can restore my childhood memories and eviscerate Jar-Jar from the last batch of Star Wars movies.
Interim Solution: Use a USB Flash drive as Swap
on
Laptops with Big RAM?
·
· Score: 1
Buy yourself a fast USB flash drive with 8GB or so of ram. Then, plug it into to a fast USB port (some Dell laptops have one set of fast ports and another for slower devices, so YMMV). Run some sort of speed test, make sure the Flash really does transfer faster than the internal HD - you never know what your motherboard will do.
If it is faster by a big enough factor, then create a new or second swap disk in Windows (search MS's KBs). You can make this your primary disk and remove the C: swap to make sure you only go to the faster swap disk. Since reboots are required, you may have to make sure the drive is in the same port the machine each time you boot up.
I kept running out of ram and used this trick with XP and Linux. It worked for me and I hope it will for you. There is rumours that Vista will have the Flash-as-Swap(tm) ability built in.
i assume the client libraries are apache/bsd licensed. if they were GPL, then SunOne/Forte, Visual Studio, C++ Builder, and other systems could not include plugins for Subversion. So, we'd be stuck with either propritary solutions like source safe and clear case, or stuck with CVS access via fork() as many applications do now.
If you're really annoyed, write tirgis and tell them GPL with LGPL client.
download, ungz, run, open book mark window, search for something, crash!
at least they kept this crash in the code, i mean with 1.5 and 1.5.1, they added this great crashing feature and i'd hate for them to remove it. with 1.4.x, it only crashes every third time.
to make decafe, you essentially wash the caffeine out of the beans. during that process, you'd tend to also lose part of the antioxidants. thus, not quite as good.
but the title of this whole submission says caffeine - which is not the point of the study.
i remember playing "xbill" long before the X windows version was written. it was on a mac se, long ago. if you read the xbill history in the tarball (or help screens), you'll notice they pay homage to the original mac game. so, the game concept returns back to its source.
Schools for the blind have been doing this for years, especially with technical books. Many of my V.I. friends would remove the binding and feed them through a high-speed sheet feeder to a scanner. Then, the books are proofed by seeing people for OCR perfection. Contact your local school and ask if they already have some of your works in pdf/jpeg/tiff/WordPerfect (yes, lots of Word Perfect). They may be willing to give you some legal copies of your books in exchange for you converting some of the books you have that they don't into blind readable format (which means, you'd have to proof your own book for accuracy - but you're doing that anyway). Basically, you're donating your time for a good cause and bennifiting yourself.
many people suggested doxygen (or somesuch), but i'd like to recommend doc++. exact same syntax as javadoc (no learning curve). it will generate html or tex (and thus ps/pdf/etc). it works on c, c++, or java code.

there is a serious problem with royal and customer support not to mention their inability to write software. anyone who has purchased a davinci can attest to this. royal's sync program barely worked on windows 95/98 and failed to work on windows nt only giving uses duplicate records on the pda and the sync'd desktop with every docking. and now, they're telling us that this linux pda will work with linux and windows? they couldn't get their own custom pda to work with their custom sync software. and to think there was actually a small cut following.
i'm still waiting for the promised nt support on my davinci. any day now.
i have wizadry I (proving grounds of the mad overlord), in the box, along with with purchase receipt (1987-7-2). i keep it in a book case for chuckles. can you say 'tiltowait'. i knew you could.
i like the long beep that someone mentioned when you found wernda. i think i still have the maps i made sitting up late nights trying to beat it. and my play disk of my 3 level 53 ninjas.
you've worked on great, campy television shows with sam raimi over the past few years (hercules/xena). however, when you finally get your own staring role on 'jack of all trades', you're canceled after a season. can you make it in television as the lead role or are you destine to suffer a career as a grandiose movie star?
do you feel any resentment that the babes of cleopatra 2525 got to stay on the air another season while you were shown the door? would you have liked to moved over to that show and become some sort of evil supervillian that one of the girls fell in love? and which one would you have be your coital (or otherwise) playmate?
according to my copy of the oreilly catalogue (data march 1999), a new book, "using samba" by kelly, donham, & collier-brown, will be released in june 1999. the pre-review also mentions suff about "advanced topics in security and complex environments" (passwords encryption perhaps?). comes with a CD. the book also covers the v2.0 gui.
the last time this appeared on slashdot the biggest complaint was that it only worked on intel boxes. thus, it is not a solution for linux, since you'd leave out the ppc, sparc, alpha, c64, etc. if this is still true, then it must die or evolve into cross-platorm.
you know it's a sad day for linux when their web site looks better on IE4/Win95 than it does on NS4.5/Solaris and NS4.5/Linux. Wow, using the default font settins with netscape, some text on the redhat site in five pixels high. that's fun to read!
i always tell my clients to look at redhat.com if they want the lowdown on linux. it had various corporate announcement and link to redhat/linux articles in the press.
now, it has stuff about the new playstation 2 and some mozilla party at a bar in san francisco on the main page. how is this supposed to help my calls for linux? how does that benifit my corporate clients? slashdot scares non-techies and now redhat has decidedly put up a barrier of technobabble stolen from slashdot.
i will now remove that redcom.com bumper sticker from my bmw. i work in the same building as sco's kernel group. they're probably laughing at me now.
it's think that it funny that the people screaming that wavelets are a proprietary non-open source(tm) piece of shit are also the same people creaming in their pants over mp3's, another non-open source(tm) proprietary format. before someone calls me a loony, doesn't the mp3 format have a few patented aspect (ie, proprietory)? didn't the patent holders sue/beat/disembowel the people whom released a gpl mp3 player. if so, then no open-source version exists. funny, downloading a gpl'd program from a warez site.
i've used wavelets. i'd played with the "voodoo dejavu" technology out of at&t. they are cool. as to this "you need a plug in for them", yes, for now. also, the various formats are incompatable. i remember jpeg also going through the same thing. cshow and gws each couldn't reach some jpeg files that the other could read. then, the standards committe put down their foot and we finally had one format. wavelets will be the same way. maybe jpeg will incorporate wavelets in the v2000 spec?
also, wavelets are much better at video than mpeg/motion jpeg/avi files. this is one of the things we're dinking with right now. you can re-wind them, whereas you cannot rewind the *peg's! avi can possibly rewound, but the file is huge (and proprietary). wavelets are smaller than all the other.
is our dinking around using a proprietary format? yes. once some committee standardizes on something, we'll change our format to that. mpeg-4/5 would be cool if it had this.
if the source for v0.3beta were actually out there then this coveted 'bazaar' model might actually be helping slashdot's woes. same for adfu, it doesn't crash as much as it used to, but, everysooften, i do not see an ad, and instead see a 404 error overwritting the slashdot header.

wow, rated funny and flamebait in the same post. i was hoping for "sarcastic truth"
maybe my bookmark file is corrupt and crashes mozilla. it works fine except search, where the system crashes.
back to bugzilla, again...
download, ungz, run, open book mark window, search for something, crash!
at least they kept this crash in the code, i mean with 1.5 and 1.5.1, they added this great crashing feature and i'd hate for them to remove it. with 1.4.x, it only crashes every third time.
oh well, back to grep

it was the coffee, not the caffeine, that provided the benefits. decafe works too.
mentions of uucp, kermit, rcp/scp, but nobody has mentioned fsp. maybe i'm just being too obscure.
paraphrased and slightly modified from the mel brooks movie 'spaceballs'.
conversion between crewman asshole, darth helmet, and supreme evil ruler.
