the altitude is not the issue, the speed is. gps is only used until they're within a couple kilometers of docking, then onboard sensors determine relative distances.
he fact that you don't care about those human beings or their loss of due process in the slightest demonstrates to me that our education system truly has failed as it has produced a nation of voting age adults who have no idea what the words "freedom", "liberty", "rights", or "critical thinking" mean. The government said it, you believed it.
Nice extrapolation.
So do you believe in the school of thought that when your hard drive crashes, you should buy/obtain another copy of your OS?
Or, why should people be allowed to install their OS, why not boot from disc? The parallel is real.
Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs? Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video. Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs. Ted: Right. Yes. OK, alright. I see where you're going. Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man? Ted: I would go for the 7. Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk. Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that? Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B". Ted: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses] Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel. Ted: That - good point. Hitchhiker: 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office. Ted: Why? Hitchhiker: 'Cause you're fuckin' fired!
Yeah, but I think he was right with the point he was trying to make (minus the name calling). If the house next to you is getting robbed, why get upset about it? I mean, it's not like you're losing anything.
I guess I'd agree - wireless for the sake for nerd cred is ok, just make sure you acknowledge that's why you're doing it. Otherwise, your plan of attack should be to get in good with the builder so that you can mega-wire your house to every conceivable configuration possible before the sheet rock gets put up. If that doesn't work, then some late evening undercover ops may be in order to do it yourself.
I'm in a different situation - my house is built, now I'm wondering how to reach the same end with the minimum amount of drilling/etc.
I think you missed the point of view of the original poster. Calling oneself a geek implies that you enjoy getting into the technical aspects, if not actually getting your hands dirty doing the tech stuff. There is a certain joy that geeks derive from this that usually isn't fulfilled once a move into management. So the shiny geek badge that was once worn so proudly grows faded and unused.
the NFL does it too. a head coaching job comes up, and you have to interview X number of black coaches. a running back slot is available - how many white guys get a shot at it?:) i guess it could be argued that running ability is a bit more tangible than coaching ability, but there's still a double standard.
Once someone has finished their degree and done 5-8years of real work, then they are no longer any more BETTER than someone who has equally worked in similar jobs for 5-8years also.
If a person with 8 yrs work experience with no degree is equivalent to one with 8 yrs and a degree, then can't ALL people with 8 yrs experience be expected to be equivalent? No. That's just not how it happens. There's no absolute, but the graduate can be expected to do better than the non-grad.
You either didn't go to school, or didn't learn anything when you were there. The most important thing you learn is school is not how to compile a program, or proper code formatting. It's the exposure to problems and thought processes that allows you to approach real world problems and apply a methodical problem solving technique.

I picked up the Lexar Jumpgear usb mp3 player in Nov (amazon for $40) with a 1GB mem stick for $40 from Dell. Plus the memory is removeable, so//when// the memory sticks go on sale again, I can pick up a couple more before I get to Apple's price point for their 1 GB model.
i think the patriots in gulf war I were gps equipped. actually, there was something goofy about if the launch site's position vector - it was either due to the earth's rotation or maybe a counter overflow in the software, if the vector was too stale, the targetting was no longer reliable, i'll look for a link.
Slashdot Mirror
any features that Opera would have that might distinguish it
they're installed by default in opera, easy to add on in ff.
very few people use
only because they haven't tried them. mouse gestures is one of the best features to come along in the last several years.
Cents, get it? I kill me.
That one didn't take, could you try again?
care to post your license plate number? someone will tell you the name of the street you live on...

yeah, i can't believe these students would have the audacity to do such a thing. they got what they deserved indeed.
[meanwhile, downloading another gig of mp3s...]
Sorry dude, I probably fired off a comment too quickly.
You're contradicting your own argument.
To stop drugs, we should not go after the source, but the end user.
To stop guns, we should go after the source, not the end user.
Should we go after the big 3? After all, their vehicles kill far more people each year than guns.
I'll leave you alone now, I gotta go burn down some trees.

and if i'm not mistaken, xm is launching it's 3rd this month, and a 4th later this year.
i wish i mod points - i'd try to find a way to give them all to you. very insightful!!
They've both got their advantages and disadvantages - what exactly are you trying to win here?
thank you! somebody needed to say it.

why not $7.10 per song? i thought that would be the new standard.

Holy crap!! Flashing high beams! I would've figured it to be a little too cold to do that this time of year?
