Youth camp/boarding school??????? Yes, a great way to educate a kid, keep them unground for several years without seeing the sunlight.
Ulead VideoStudio is about the best consumer grade DVD authoring application I've used on Windows. That's not saying much, but I think it's the best option. You can customize quite a few settings that more simplified programs don't have (such as bit rate, codec choices, etc). Roxio has DVD builder which is much simpler and you can't customize as much.
I've heard nothing but good things from my co-workers on DVD authoring on the Mac. I would consider buying one if I spent a lot of time doing DV video editing and such.
WHOAH, I don't know about you, but where I live (San Fransisco/Bay Area) NPR is the MOST liberal thing you can possible listen to.
For example, on one program they compared Arnold, the new gov. of California to Hitler, just because he wants to reduce spending on some health care programs. No, NPR is the most biased news program I have ever listed too. You will never hear anything conservative on their station.
As for intelligence? No, the use way more emotion. Almost everytime I pass the station they have something like: "grandmother in Iraq who is blind who lost her grandchild" because of a war or some other depressing story.
I've always asked my professor the first day of class if we need the textbook listed on the syllabus before buying it. At least 40% of the time they would say it's good to have, but not absolutely necessary. Or often they would say they hand out their own notes, and you don't need the text book, but official you "have" to buy it, which I didn't.
Does the average person have a TV that displays more resolution than NTSC yet? How much more powerful can the XBOX 2 system be without people upgrading their TV's and sound systems to take advantage of it?
Other than new games, how can they justify to the consumer that this new system is better?
How about backing up multiple DVD's to an H-DVDRW disk (when they are released?). It would be nice to have a backup of multi-disk movies on one disk. Of course, there is the encryption problem...
Make sure that the resolution of the scans of your alternate ID papers is good enough to recreate credible documents. With current 2400 DPI scanners selling for $100-$150 US, that shouldn't be a problem.
2400 DPI? You wouldn't actually scan an 8.5x11" paper at that would you? Unless you want to save a 500MB file for each document.
My System came with 8 USB ports. 4 on the montherboard, and 4 more via-USB bracket or front pannel. Currently I have way more than I can use.
Not all devices are USB powered either, but for those that are unpowered USB hubs work great. You could consider a powered USB hub too if you really need more ports.
From a software engineering point of view, pop-up "blocking" isn't something you have to "develop" software for. In fact, it simply means REMOVING an unwanted, uneeded feature that shouldn't have been in the original design of JavaScript anyway. The fact that it has taken Microsoft several years to remove a feature that could have been done in a few minutes just shows that the only point of it existing was as a marketing tool.
I guess most people don't understand that a website is simply a set of files and that your computer software renders it according to a set of instructions, unlike a TV commercial that comes in as a continous video stream.
By saying the software is 'blocking' pop-ups implies that they are somehow inherent to internet when they really are not.
They don't even carry capacitors, resistors, etc. at a lot of the stores anymore. Well, that or their selection is quite small from what I remember. Besides, I can order components online and get anything I need at a hundreth of the price radio shack would sell.
I bet a some of you have walked past a jewellery store and thought how wasteful it was to use gold as jewelery instead of in computer components because it's such a better conductor.
Apple II's and Mac's are not necessarily rare. You can find lots of them on ebay at pretty decent prices. It's not like only a few hundred of these computers were produced. If I were to keep every generation of PC I've purchased over my life I wouldn't have any storage space left, and I certainly wouldn't be using the old computers.
At 12 mega BITS per second, transfering a trillion bits would take 23 hours. Not very fast at all. I hope they discourage people from using this mode in the users manual.
My guess is that C++ will compile trig functions directly into assembly level instructions for trig, since these do exist in the FPU of the x86 class processors. I'm not sure if Java even has this capability, it may actually be calculating trig functions using java primitives. I guess that's part of the entire cross plaftorm aspect of it, being that some processors might not have a FPU with sin and cos functions? That's only my guess though.
It could also be the overhead of calling Math.sin() as a function instead of in C++ where it should correctly optimize it to a single assembly instruction without an unneccessary function call.
The easiest way to answer this to reverse engineer the compiled code into assembly and see the different stratagies the compilers use for optimization.
I'm downloading the TIFF right now. 150Kbytes/sec. Quite impressive. I wonder how long it took that little lander to transmit that much data accross space.
What? How much time it takes to get Linux to function? Take the time for Windows XP and multiple by about 10. That's my experience. I add a single CDROM drive to my system and Redhat fails to detect the network card. Yes, the network card.
Not to mention the time I've spent setting up a firewall, database server, web server, etc. Yes it takes a lot of time, but it's fun and that's the only reason I work with linux, not because I believe it will save me any time.

I would never have guessed U.S. Robotics would be go from making modems to killer robots.
Seriously, did they get permision to use this name in the movie?
and why would you need one anyway? You have the U.S. to defend you.

Could turbo codes be used with a 56K modem giving somewhere around 80kbps of bandwidth?

Why would you want to re-encode an AAC to an MP3? AAC already has superior quality. Just removing the encryption (for personal use) would be nice.
From what I remember, MySQL isn't GPL'd and requires a commercial license.
