How did Kinder, Kuche, Kirche" (Children, kitchen, church) tie into it? And the church didn't take part in anything at all? Whether Hitler himself was a Christian or not, it seems to me that Christianity had a central part in swaying the German people. I have nothing against Christians BTW
I worked four summers at a convenience store, and informally agree with that observation. It's even more valid for elderly women. Additionally, they tend to steal a LOT more valuable stuff. While the teenagers and kids go for chocolate, bubble gum etc. (probably steal more because of the excitement than anything else), the women steal to save money, even if they're not particularly poor. They grab expensive, small items, like tobacco, caviar, truffles and the like, and hide them inside their coats. If you catch them they'll normally start crying (and be reported to the police by the manager nevertheless). Our store had a much greater loss due to them, than was caused by the kids shoplifting candy and yo-yos.
I'm certain it would work, just not sure for how long
Can you back this up with anything? I would think that you'll need pressure in order to avoid your blood literally boiling at body temperature. Assuming that blood has similar properties to water regarding its boiling point: Check the graph at the bottom.
I think that boiling blood would be a serious issue for your circulatory system:) So, if your definition of a "how long" is on the order of seconds, then yes.
I see your point, but after struggling through bug after bug (and patch after patch) of for instance Neverwinter Nights, I think I'd prefer paying $5 or so more for decent QA, though. I mean, they had something like twenty patches in the first few monts. It felt like a public beta more than a finished product.
I've heard that it is because of the ocean currents, winds, and basically anything that is accelerated by the coriolis force. That energy must come from somewhere, namely the earth's rotational energy.
Of course, I might be horribly wrong, and haven't checked for redundancy:)
The consensus seems to be that this is complete bullshit. I'll notify my friend, and well, you learn something new ( or correct something wrong:) every day:)
While I tend to agree with you, a friend of mine who is a shrink told me that in the very instant a person says 'I'm gonna kill that bastard' or something like it, he/she would actually be capable of performing the act. Of course, for most people it passes rapidly.
Scary. For the record, I *never* have used that phrase:)
This isn't really paranoia. A sideways-inserted bank statement shredded into relatively wide (non-crosscut) strips still has a worryingly high chance of containing lots of information intact, in context and *at a glance*.
As you said, cross-shred it:)
Acutally, it's not paranoia at all..
A quick ("advanced") google for software to reconstruct shredded documents will provide all the tools necessary for someone who wants to read your 1-dimensionally-shredded documents. I know for a fact that the Norwegian Economic Crime unit of the police (or whatever that translates to in English) have used it with success on several occations. That is for shredders that cuts into strips, not uncountable small squares.
One of their special investigators lectured at my college:)
Btw, cheers mates!:) (Disclaimer: Any inconsitency of this post is to blame solely on Glenfiddich, and lots of it)
For some reason I found the idea of tiny dreamy satellites careening off into space very funny:)
Your point is a good one, however. I wondered about that too. Maybe the idea is that these are so cheap to get into orbit that you can get away with fewer launches/year, so it doesn't matter if you lose them quicker? The article doesn't mention it at all.
You also have the problem of attitude control, if any of the instruments depends on it.
For Gods sake, why? Can't you just download the next one as you crossed out the previous as 'Read' on the list?
I hope the majority of those who read that post has more sense than you. Low UID and all. Sheez, abusing the bandwidth and resources of a praiseworthy FREE project like that... I bet you a beer that you won't look at even 1% of those at all.
Me: I have problem X, and have tried solution A, B, and C. Can you help me out with this problem?
As a customer of a Norwegian DSL company (NextGenTel), I've had to place a few support calls. As a computer engineer (almost finished education) I *know* the problem is not with my boxes, and as I call them as a last resort, I've applied normal problem isolating already.
Still, even though I outline what I've tried at the start of the call, they always want me to go through certain steps, even though I tell them that "Well, it can't be problem X, because I already tried solution Y which eliminates it as the cause". They just won't listen, or don't actually know enough about what they're supporting.
This one time the girl realised that I knew what I was talking about, and promptly responded "With the measures you've tried, it seems that the line must be down. We'll send a tech". Problem fixed within three hours. Oh, to have less "scripted support people" and more of her caliber...
I have a Compaq Armada 7800 acting as a gateway / various servers with a second-hand el-cheapo Realtek pcmcia card.
The card is 10/100, but I have to run it in 10 Mbit, or it takes down the net connection when the load increases.
I did some research, and it turns out that the 266 Mhz CPU in the old laptop couldn't drive the Realtek because of bad chip design requiring too much processing from the CPU.
I know that Realtek 8139 isn't exactly among the high quality cards, but I wonder to which degree this becomes an issue with 1 or even 10 GBit Ethernet cards...
I remember some choice quotes in the driver source on behalf of the frustrated driver coder:
+/* Note from BSD driver: + * Here's a totally undocumented fact for you. When the + * RealTek chip is in the process of copying a packet into + * RAM for you, the length will be 0xfff0. If you spot a + * packet header with this value, you need to stop. The + * datasheet makes absolutely no mention of this and + * RealTek should be shot for this. + */
Thanks! I will check those out. As I work closely connected to the university library in Oslo (Blindern), I have the opportunity:)
By the way, I would check it out... I'm going to:). Mentioning your PhD and references in your post would have helped a lot... In fact, you had no substantiation of your claim in your post. Only the claim.
I have no formal background in the field. I am interested, however.
On a side note, what do you think of the neural net approach to help computers understand natural language? I am intrigued by the advances in for instance macine translation with the help of NN's...

Probably a typo. $1195 + $18805 = $20000
HAHA, laughing my ass off, hilarious :)
People around are giving me strange looks...
Well, at least it was an un-elegant non-attack :)
:) *ducks*

The lack of QA makes me hate games
Man, that sig is priceless :)
How the hell do you infer that from what he said?
Your conclusion makes no sense. Oh, I see.
I've heard that it is because of the ocean currents, winds, and basically anything that is accelerated by the coriolis force.

Sorry, a glitch there. Only 110 million. Still, it boggles the mind almost just as much :)
The complexity of those calculations just boggles the mind. I mean, an n-body problem with 220 000 000 objects?

Oh DAMN, so that is the reason!
Here I have been literally tearing my hair out trying to configure mount_smbfs on FreeBSD to mount a W2k-share with Unicode chars.
I never figured the filenames were actually being mangled in the junction on the W2kPro box.
Well, FWIW, apart from that little feature the junctions themselves work reliably.
Yeah, I was happy with 2x2 MB
about:config > user.chromosome.autodetect Boolean, of course.
Boolean values:
0 = 46 chromosomes
1 = 47 chromosomes

References please...
A claim such as yours without documentation is like a lottery winner without a ticket. Irrelevant.
I think you mean the placenta?
If it was a joke, please ignore...
Maybe I misunderstood your question, but the silver package is available right here.
:) No Half Life 1 : Source, though...
You need to buy it through Steam, though. I got the game bundled with my GFX card (the ATI bundle), works fine
Enjoy!
