Nonono, who cares about 6'4" elves. Have you ever seen Tom Baker? He's PERFECT as an elf, even has some of the mannerisms.
Go watch some of the older Doctor Who shows -- Tom played the fourth Doctor, just so you know as to the time frame -- short curly hair, wild looking eyes, and an impish grin. Perfect for an elf, I say!
Unf. Disregard last post; I figured enter would go to the next box;)
Like I was going to say... I'm suprised Red Hat hadn't trumpeted this yet, but Pirhana (part of a high availability package) is in this version -- has anyone experimented with it, and can anyone give me information on how well it works, advantages/disadvantages?
Granted, it's still 0.2.1 but... obviously, they think it's usable enough that it's worth shipping...
I have a simple solution to the "use of illegally obtained evidence" -- very simple.
Allow it in court.
Try the police officer for "violating the victim's civil rights".
The FBI used this in the south during the 60s to nail people who commited racial crimes. Nobody in the south would get convicted for killing a black man or a "nigger lover", so the FBI would come in, and prosecute them for civil rights violations. I know that at least a few people got 6-10 years and hefty fines to boot.
Ahem, as I was going to say... looking at the rules, I don't see anything prohibiting ECM. Most of the robots seem to be controlled by a hobbyist radio control type thing -- I'm suprised nobody has put a radio jammer or something in their robots -- imobilize the enemy by jamming their controller, then tear them up with an axe/rotary saw, whatever.

My understanding of "warp drive" (which many believe to be a possibility) is that it is not the object that is moving, but the space around the object. If it's just the space around the object that's moving, then might that object have no inertia? It's only the inertia that causes the above problem, yes?
>* No sonic boom? If it's the space that's moving, maybe there's no friction to create the sonic boom? (I think it's the friction that creates it, yes?)
I suggest a 3dfx Banshee -- you can get them for about $40 (if you know where to look) -- they have very nice 2d acceleration, acceptable (for my purposes) 3d, and a reasonably large amount of memory.
I went from my Stealth 3d 2000 with 4/megs of memory to my Banshee with 16, and the speed has skyrocketed. I'm not even sure that the X server runs in main memory anymore.
Believe it. I was given the opportunity to take the test a second time, and was indeed told that E*Trade didn't check anything, and it was indeed implied that I could lie, and E*Trade wouldn't know the difference
I was _NOT_ offered reassurances that I would pass the second time; the person who wrote the report did some interpretation of their own, and added their own spin.
In fact, I didn't pass the second time; I'm not going to lie just to get in on this. End of story.
Well, I was barred as well -- after bitching and moaning, they gave me a second chance -- so, all you guys out there -- if you complain enough, you can get them to give you a second chance on the indication of interest
I hate to rat out a guy who did me a favor, but he also indicated that I could very easily commit fraud, and lie on the application. E*Trade wouldn't check.
I don't know about you, but I'd take this as *encouragement* to lie (commit fraud? I think they take it as an affidavit, though I'm not sure) on my application.
Well, being the honest (stupid?) person that I am, I didn't do so the second time around -- and while my answers were different and spun a little more in my favor -- I still got denied.
At the very least, this is bullshit.
At the very most, I think the SEC needs to have a chat with E*Trade about its policies.
Now that we've taught the little ones to lie, cheat, and steal, perhaps we ought to teach them to rape, pillage and murder?
How about some integrity, Jon? Even if this was a sarcastic article, it was in terribly poor taste. I enjoyed the "Voices From the Hellmouth" series, but this is just foolishness.
I believe they got at least some of them from bugzilla on developer.redhat.com.
I'm not entirely sure, mind you, but the only place I can think of where I've been an open source contributer is bug 3701 there. (not that I don't want to be, mind you, I've just never coded anything useful)

To yank down $70 million in cash for the company, and untold millions for the executives and past investors?
That sounds like a good reason to me.

Nab a video card with a spiffy amount of memory.

Good job Katz,

I'd give them double-kudos for giving debian people the opportunity; debian is one of their competitors after all.
