In all seriousness, I have been waiting too long for blender to include one -- I know it must have taken a good bit of programming to implement, so kudo's to all those involved with the project.
I second that; I have a laserjet 5m, and the thing is a champ -- stats say that its done something like 50,000 pages(!) (I got it from a company getting rid of them).
Ive had it for 2 years now w/o replacing the 2nd hand toner cartridge yet:)
I can understand how articles now and again get duped -- but how does a seven year old patent get mentioned within a week twice? I find it highly coincidental two people were browsing for seven year old MS patents and happened to stumble upon the same patent.
" to other ppl that need to render stuff. Im sure they could figure out some reasonable pricing vs CPU time etc."
OOO! I've got an even better idea - why don't they rent it out to other companies and stuff? That way, when they're not using it, it isn't going to waste; I mean, tihnk how useful that could be.
We should start a petition asking them to do that.
If terrorists figure out the pattern of outages, they could attack during a peak collapsing the cell networks, and that would be bad, IMHO. Chaos would ensue. For once, I don't believe it, I'm in agreement with Homeland Security.
Lets think about this. In your opinion it seems that the most heinous thing a terrost organization could do to a country would be to cause its cell phone network to be overloaded. So in order to do this they have to create a disaster large enough that people are going to overload it. Is it just me, or wouldn't the disaster itself be far more important than the fact that cell coverage for an area became overloaded?

It is also worth noting that apart from the version of gcc you are running, there doesn't need to be anything else common about the machines: they needn't share a filesystem, header files, or libraries, or even be running the same Linux kernel or distribution.
If this helps the 911 guys find my house better in case of an emergency, good for them. If it never happens, they've got a picture of a blue house with tan trim.
Well, they'll have a convincing case for governmental intervention in the next home decorating decision you make:)
I've been using Netstumbler for a while; Windows ZeroConfig wifi intergration removed some of its perks, but I still find it useful for marking GPS locations of hotspots.
On a side note - has anyone figured out a reasonably easy way to bond to two AP's using two wifi cards? Linux / Windows solutions both welcome:)
I dunno about that; If one thinks back to Windows 95, which came with IE; thats about 1994; its 2004 now, so its much closer to tens years as well. Still, point made.
This is an idea ive done in a fashion; I used a reasonably crappy 640x480 19 inch LCD-TV board, and constructed a wooden frame for it; I had the good fortune to get a bunch of LCD's of different types from a company clearance - most of them the bare lcd's and drivers.
I have in my possesion at the moment 5 of the bare lcd's that Apple used/uses in their 22 inch cineman display's; unfortunately I haven't got the plug and play logic boards for them, so they don't work too well:). The closest I can get to them working in a fashion under WinXP is to plug in a dvi LCD panel that works, let it be detected, then swap to the bare lcd. Unfortunately any change of resolution etc screws it up. Perhaps someone can advise me on where to get these boards / make them; Ive had these LCD's kicking around for nealy a year now, and it seems like a real waste not to use them.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for being slightly OT:) Stewart
Heh, I agree - I wish that the two sequel's were never created. The icing on the cake in the original matrix movie was its use of ground breaking special effect; the lobby / helicopter being two of the standouts in this respect. The sequels forgot the cake as it were in their rush to smother everything in SFX icing.
As for this movie, I know I'm gonna walk out of the theater disapointed - It's simply a matrix wannabe / Terminator 3.5 / generic combat movie from what I can see. It seems hollywood has one idea in 5 years and then proceeds to milk it until watching even the original groundbreaking films leave a bad taste in the mouth. There's only so much "artistic" combat one can swallow before it starts to sicken.
Im rambling - watching KDE compile from source on a PIII has that effect I guess:)
This is Slashdot. You don't have to read the article.
See?
I totally disagree with every point you've just made, will go into great detail about why I think you're wrong, and as an aside cast inferances on your lineage.
The highest bidders name at this time is a guy called Unicks - judging from his name, I wonder how much trouble he's goiong to have to go through in order to play it:)
"....announced that as of October 15 third-party software, such as Trillian..."
I know that most slashdotters don't RTFA, but this is bordering on the ridiculous! It's one thing not to read the artcile before replying, quite another not to read the blurb.:P
Ahh its the old "violent games make people do violent things" argument. Its FUD of course; I would venture to say that the ratio of people that play violent video games to people who play violent games and kill people is probably the same as the general population v. killers. I think that we will always have mentally dearanged people, and that they will use something to channel their anger - I mean - did jack the ripper play violent video games? Of course not - he was also a loonie, just a different time period and object of hate.
"I thought you'd like to know that I am a warrior, I am fighting for mankind's freedom. Freedom from this society," said the letter, which was signed "Sincerely, Me. Matthew. The One, the Neo, the Anti-Christ, etc. etc. etc."
Seriously - this is why we NEED to have open source to these machines. This is currently a "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" situation - we're supposed to believe that our vote counts, but the WAY that its counted we're not allowed to know. Why? What I think they should have on these machines is a roll of ticker tape that records each vote, and allows you to see it being recorded (behind a class window or something).
Except for the fact that if you speed and don't hit anyone, then no-one is affected. If you DO hit someone, there is proof, and you are then punished for it. Rigging the voting though will affect people anyway you cut it, however the PROOF that you rigged it is a lot harder to find.
Thats kinds of interesting, and especially timely for me, since at the moment im leeching off my neigbors wifi connections. I am getting DSL installed, since I moved to a new house, but the aren't able to get here for at least a week, so I had to find an alternate source of net for that time. I did a bit of war driving - on my block there were *12* AP's, and only two of them were encrypted. Get this though - one off the had the WEP key as the AP's name:). Nearly all the others had "default" "linksys", etc as the names, showing me that the people hadn't really bothered to take the 5 minutes to set it up properly. Oh well, good for me.
Besides, somehow I don't see how someone buying a copy of paintshop is going to affect adobe. After all, they're not making a sale, so why should they care whether someone buys their competitors product or nothing at all? In fact, for the high-end company, you pirating their software is probably better then you buying their competitors software - after all they don't want a profitable enemy.
At my H.S, starting a club is easy - you have to write a constitution, and the "student Body Council" accepts / rejects it. Im part of an autonamous submarine project club that got started a few years ago, but each year you have to get the club "re-accepted." One thing I hate about our school is that you have to do community service in order to be the club. The carrot at the end of the stick is that you get $100 / year if you do. Big Deal! in 3 years we've blown through about $40,000. We still have to do community service though. Damn Nazi's.
In terms of flicker it doesn't matter, as once you tell an lcd pixel to turn on it stays on - so an lcd panel running at 60hz will look a lot better then a crt running at 60hz. However, since the update rate of the lcd is a lot lower, you'll get "trails" whenever something moves quickly on the screen, which is due to the refresh / screen update speed.

So you see, when being a dick on slashdot, make sure you've done your homework.
