Dude, that sounds like browser-master elections to me.
When I worked at a major big corporation when W2K came out that hit us a few times.
A user with a brand-new spanking laptop with W2K on it would plug in, get IP and then would win the browsermaster elections (we only had NT servers back then).
Then they'd switch off and nobody would be able to connect to anything on WINS anymore....
But perhaps this is something else entirely. But we sure had fun with those browsermaster elections:)
>They can definitely make it hard for you to do it a second time.
If you do it right you don't need a second time.....
Everybody I know that works at financial institutions are always daydreaming about the perfect job.
And I don't mean a programming job....:)
Ah the beauty of the Market Economy that will take care of everything by itself.
Capitalism really is the only way to go, and stuff like this proves it.
By the way, can't remember who said it, but I think it's an excellent view on all of this:
Ten years from now we will need to feed people, not cars...
Actually I think it would work: the problem is that the sickness-inducing prions are wronlgy folded. By some strange magic, these wrongly folded prions can cause normal healthy prions to become wrongly-folded prions too. => Snowball effect.
If there's no normal prions to begin with I doubt the occasional ingestion of a 'bad prion' has any effect, because there is nothing to infect....
But it has been years since I last read anything on the subject, so maybe insights have changed.
The Barcelona Metro has book vending machines that sell you spanish translations of well known classic literature hits (thrillers, novels and I think I even spotted some poetry).
They use a typical candy-bar vending machine (of the rotating-spiral persuasion, not a roto-plooker unfortunately)
Price was about 7 Euros a pop if I remember right...
From TFA:
The firewall would've blocked all non-solicited traffic to the inside network, leaving only the telnet connections in, which could be turned off in a state of emergency.
Aww, how sweet, this kid's got a computer at home...and he allready knows how to turn on the firewall! Good thing telnet is a really secure way of doing things...
Dangerously Drifting Offtopic, _and_ this is probably not the place to ask, but anyway:
Do iPods support this?
Mine is a 10 gig 2nd gen (although I had to replace the battery it still works like a dream, I love it to death and will not replace it untill it breaks)
I'm pretty sure I've skipped songs (I always do) but no skips seem to have been counted. Too bad, because that's one thing I would really appriciate (I'd get rid of the stuff I keep skipping, with 10 gigs you have to be picky). But hey, I managed without it for nearly 4 years now...
It has nothing to do with culture and everything to do with physics.
I hope you arent' claiming that physics dictates what sounds good...:)
For instance: some of that ' le Mystere des voix Bulgares' stuff is both clearly dissonant yet very very pleasing (to my ears, at least)
Anyway, I'm just faking it: I'm a Bass Player. Here's a little joke for you
A Guitar player has a serious Car Crash. After a week he wakes up in Hospital. His Band is there, wainting for him to wake up.
The Singer says: we have good news and bad news. What would you like te hear first ?
The Guitar player says
Give me the bad news first!! I can take it!!
The singer says: well, the crash was very bad, they had to surgically remove two thirds of your brain!!
The guitar player thinks about this for a while and then asks, 'so, what is the good news then?'
.
.
.
. ....wait for it....
.
.
.
. ......drumroll........
and then the singer says:
The good news is we bought you a Bass Guitar!!!!!!
Now go listen to Kenny G NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! "Western" intonation, "Western" rhythm
I like a bit of flamenco or some rumanian folk music from time to time...but we're hopelessly drifting off topic here, could be that on my fretless when I play by ear I just play the right notes (sounds good to me, anyway, but I'm not even close to having absolute hearing)
But a pianist *cannot* play play a major third in perfect tune on an equal-tempered piano, period.
Yup, you re absolutely right. But my line of thinking is that we may be so used to the equal tempered tuning that we will intonate the same way on our 'fretless' anyway.
And the sense of 'perfect' seems to vary with culture as well....
the performers aren't stuck with whatever frequency the instrument gives them
Like I said: you have to leave it to Mr. Piano Tuner to pre-intonate your instrument for you. That's where he makes his money...
Ha, thanks for the tips. I'll see...
And tell you what: when I wrote 'man' I was thinking : what if this is one the 2 non-male users of slashdot? Ain't that something....
Draailier: something went upf*cked with that link. I probably made a mistake.
I meant this instrument : http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draailier
I meant _that_ sort of medieval music...
Second, I think your statement shows that you haven't listened to much medieval music.
You're right. I cant find the mp3's anywhere. I was referring to the stuff that i _did_ hear (the typical stuff with the draailier (sorry, can't think of the english word)
But don't take it personal man, lots of music drives me barking mad after 30 minutes. Charlie Parker, Frank Zappa, Phillip Glass, Milt Jackson, the Ramones, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Scott Joplin, Barry Manilow, Jimi Hendrix. Guess I have a short attention span.
That's only an issue for instruments with fixed intonations
No it's not. (?)...I remember that if you keep playing perfect fifths you end up half a note sharp when you get back to your starting note.
The trick is to spread that difference out without it becoming too annoying (granted: this way you are always playing slightly out of key).
Does it matter if you do this by ear on your fretless or leave it to mr. piano tuner? (BTW, on a bass it ain't all that critical, but on the high notes you'll notice immediately)
Slashdot Mirror
He's Australian.
He would have made a barbecue out of it. I guess.
But ther's lot's of other options
I'm an ATM Nerd. Atm's are way nerdier that ATM :)

I misread that one, thought it said "Free Wii" :)
Naturally my interest was immediately sparked
Ha, yes!
Wow, strong poem.
The people of he netherlands are forever in debt to the canadians, freed us in ww2....

That made me laugh. Great hack!
I sure hope the guys that made the website had nothing to do with the robotics...
