Yes, it took me twice as long only taking two night classes a semster. However, during this time I had other things happening (marriage, a house, etc...) I highly motivated individual that really wanted to sacrifice their social life could take 3+ classes and then take summer classes as well... and shorten things up...
So, at the end of it, I ended up with 8 years of work experience and no student loans.
I know that this won't work for everybody. Obviously, your not just going to walk into a ASIC job or something where you need some up front education...
Except after you take that picture of my car you can get into the picture and drive off in the car...
Granted it'll be a shitty, Cantonese dub over of my car that's slightly out of focus and has the backs of peoples heads in the way version of my car, but it's still my car;-)
Though it's been my experience that most knuckleheads lose their interest in bootlegs the moment they drop a couple of grand for a real TV and sound system.
Suddenly a grainy picture with mono sound isn't so cool anymore and their okay buying the THX certified DVD...
My neighbor has one of those 8' wide parasail kites. When we goto the beach he starts off by driving a stake a couple of feet into the ground with a hand winch at the end of it. He then gets the kite airbourne and unwinches a couple hundred feet worth of super thin steel cable. The kite itself (material wise) wieghs probably 25lbs. I can't imagine another 1lb worth of weight is going to make a significant difference.
Instead of a digital camera I'd rather use one of those X10 cameras and put a small antenna on the thing and use a modified pringles can to get the pics from it.
I'm not really sure. I think it was finite, but there were parts that looped so you could go into some areas endlessly. However, don't quote me on that last statement...
I don't know about you guys, but I generally find that my GPS is always off when it comes to my speed.
Firstly, I've got a 2003 honda civic. In my area they've got boxes on the side of the road that tell you your speed. I've tested it and as far as I can tell my speedometer is spot on. The box says I'm going 40 and my speedometer is right on 40. However, my GPS (Garmin Legend) is always over by about 7mph.
Also, I'm not sure how it calculates my max speed, but last time I checked it said something like 242mph. All I can figure is it got corrective data and applied it to recalculated my position and the error went down from 18ft to 6ft and in doing so I moved 12ft really fast (in the eyes of the GPS...)
If your car does have OnStar you can just disconnect the damn thing and use it as a regular GPS ala Tap into Onstar
Granted you won't the "Hello, did your airbag just deploy?" kind of reassurance... however you'll know they aren't tracking your location anymore.
My fear would be that the cop would pull me over and plug a unit into the side of my car and say "I'm giving you a ticket because your car tells me you were doing 157mph in a school zone..."
Think about the local knucklehead cop in your town... they are not trained to question the technology they work with... a radar gun just works. Trying to explain that a radar gun needs to be tuned regularly falls on deaf ears.
Yes there are cops who are not knuckleheads and do understand the short comings of the techonolgy, their just in the minority.
The rest point the radar/laser gun at your car and go "It says your doing 50, your in a 30 zone, you get a ticket".
Yeah, if that's one area that microsoft could take a good lesson from, it's the use of partitional swap space instead of relying on the filesystem to provide swap space.
Your already spending upwards of 100 dollars to watch a bunch of overpaid cry babies who have a poor appriecation of the term "team".
You might as well get a bunch of blaring, sex and violence filled advertisements as well!
The idea is to simulate the home viewing experience as much as possible.
Seriously, you wouldn't want to watch a video of the Coor's light girls mud wrestling in a box by the quarterbacks feet!
How about when a reciever is running for a touch down, you could have tag lines chasing him down the field! Or better, the MSN butterfly could randomly run across the field!!!
They could do tactical analysis on field using Madden 2XXX!!!
Every Shadow could be filled with Pepsi and Coke ads!!!
I seriously think your missing out on a great opportunity!!!!
Actually, he's giving to a charity just like the rest of us who have jobs.
Every paycheck, the government takes a percentage of your hard earned money and gives it to people who are too disinclined to go out and get jobs of their own and conribute to society.
Yes a percentage of our money does go to help truely needy people. However, there are plenty of people who do not deserve the money and are just here for the free ride.
If this guy wants to spend his own money putting up and lighting christmas lights, then let him have his fun.
I was wondering when someone would bring that funny commerical up...
I've got a pile of old pci voodoo2 card lying around. I should get a box with 10 PCI slots and use the libraries to build a box that'll smash 3des in about 5 minutes;-)
Actually, if your not a citizen of India, they won't let you work there....
Their okay with low balling all the jobs out of the rest of world, but their not interested in opening their own market place to foreign workers...
Luckily, my company tried outsourcing once, the outsourcing company fucked up the product so horribly that we gave up on them, write off the 5 million and bring it all back inhouse.
Well our currency (American Dollar) has always been metricised... 100 pennies = 1 US dollar.
Gasoline has been sold in 3.8 litre increments more than 10 years!
Metric units have been tought in school for 30+ years as well..
Our national mapping agency, the USGS, produces maps using that are in both square miles and square kilometers. Just make sure you order the right map...
The road signs in the US are inconsitent, (like my spelling mind you!) Some signs has just miles on it, others have both miles/kilometers.
I agree. I argued that if the machines were really that smart, they would have created a matrix that consisted of an endless fields of grass and instead of humans they would have had a matrix full of cows. <p> Firstly, cows even if they wake up from the matrix dream will just go "MOO!!!" <p> Secondly, their not going to stage some sort of revolt, they'll just graze and poop. This poop you can then compost into methane that you'll then use to power giant generators. <p> Thirdly, if you've even been near a cow, they produce way more BTU's then a human will ever make!
My idea for a space debris system would be completely different.
Debris breaks down into a couple of different types.
Also don't worry about the stuff in the lower decaying orbits. Go after the stuff that's in the higher stable orbits.
Firstly, go after the small stuff. Bolts, tools, screws and all that fun stuff. My idea would be to build a satelite that the front end would have a bunch of ablative octagional shields that would obsorb and hold onto small space junk. Then when the things got lots of space junk stuck in it. Pitch the thing downwards and put it in a decaying orbit.
For the big stuff, it gets more complicated. This is where the work on micro satelites will pay off.
Got an old booster stage that's in a stable orbit? Have a satelite that would cruise by, match velocity and then release a microsat that would move in and physicall grapple the object. Then it would use a ion engine to steady put it to higher orbit until it escaped earths gravity or bring it into a decaying orbit.
I'm going to print up a tshirt that says on the front back and sleeves
"By reading this shirt or walking within 3 feet of me, your obligated to play me 1 cent. I'll then just carry a small antenna that'll attempt to connect to the nearest smart card device and charge it 1 cent."
I know the figures in the high 80's for the number of people who now own cell phones. I can now quit my job and just walk around the mall collecting my "toll".

Never Winter Nights by Bioware. Multiplayer is great on this game (provided you've got ample bandwidth)
Unreal Tournament 2003 Umm, I think there's a linux client for this...
Quake[1/2/3] Yeah, the games old, but still amazingly playable, plus because of their age, there's lots of mods available and it'll fly on modern hardware

Being of Swiss/German ancestry, I've always wanted to learn German.
I'm just not sure where would be a logical place to start.
So far the Aussies have done stuff like let Cane toads loose to eat grubs (which they didn't)
;-)
Then they let some birds loose to eat the Cane toads (which they don't because it's toxic to the birds)
They should just hire Burt Gummer to take care of their Carp problem
Just remember: Every problem can be solved with well placed explosives...

Personally, I think SMB2 was the best and most unique of the mario brother games on NES.
Though my heart belongs to Metroid...
Excellent! I was wondering when a Dr. Strangelove reference was going to surface!
Yeah, if that's one area that microsoft could take a good lesson from, it's the use of partitional swap space instead of relying on the filesystem to provide swap space.
Oh come on... I don't see a problem?

I always wondered what software/hardwar was used to drive those wrap around displays. It's cool to know that it runs on linux.
Personally, I think it'll be cool, when they build a stadium that has a plastic membrane playing surface that they can use to display graphics on.

They might be LSB sponsered, but they also do lots of for profit work as a subcontractor for other firms.
Plus they sell the Proteus...

Playing video games all day long would get very old very quickly...
