Yep, the linksys routers are crap, but Netgear is crap to, stick with D-link. I have a netgear and a linksys, I have to reset the netgear daily, and the linksys once a week... so I choose the linksys, but its still silly.
Yep, I still have my US Robotics Pilot 1000:) Of course the serial transciever blew out years ago.
US Robotics actually developed the first palms. But 3com was never interested in Palms, they bought US Robotics because they were the gold standard in modems and when you're a network company, modems are a goood business to be in.
I think that was lack of foresight on 3coms part. When I got my palm 1000 I knew I was gonna be using one for the rest of my life, why didn't 3com know?:)
That's because in the US we have a double standard for corporations vs. individuals.
If I wrote a trojan horse that installed itself unknowingly, stole personal information, and broke your computer in the proces I would go to jail right? if Claria does it, thats "business."
If I took near nude, hightly sexualized pictures of the 17 year old girl next door the police would nail my ass? But when esquire takes near nude pics of a 17 year old Britney Spears thats "business." I know a lawyer who defended a guy the government tried to convict as a SEX OFFENDER because he took a piss on the side of a highway (and thus exposed himself, and thus is a sex offender, logically). The guy would have had to register as a sex offender for the REST OF HIS LIFE for peeing on the side of the road?
Law enforcement in this country is out of control. They let corporations/government get away with murder, and they prosecute little crimes beyond reason.
There's also a tasty Boards of Canada song by that name. I doubt the author put that string in his code simple to remind us of the colors of the rainbow? Maybe he's a techno fan?:)
You are correct in theory. However, in practice the death penalty is unfairly applied to minorities... and I'm a white guy who hates race bullshit. Do you have any idea how many people have been put to death and later been proved innocent? The number is disturbing.
I have the same problem here in southern california, in the worst summers it gets to 120 degrees F, even well ventilated computers start acting strange at those temperatures.
ESRI is fucking evil and I hate them... Their salaries are *EXTREMELY* low, they treat their employees like shit... let me tell you how they treated me like shit:
I was just getting out of college, and sent their Redlands, CA office a resume, a few weeks later I get a call "Hello mr so and so, we recieved your resume and are EXTREMELY interested in you. Are you still avaliable? Great, can you call back in two weeks? The manager who needs to interview you is out of town."
I follow their instructions and call back in two weeks, the HR lady says flatly "we gave the job to someone else."
How about this for future predictions, you're a fanboy who doesn't know his ass from the whole in the ground?
I'm not even interested in the cell processor -- here's why. Here's SONY's shtick -- invent some technology that does something we can already do, polish it nicely and charge 2x as much as existing solutions while selling gear to fanboys such as yourself. Said technology integrates with other sony products, but is really an attempt create a proprietary standard that SONY can license. Admiral Akbar screams "i'ts a trap!" and because every company on the earth isn't fucktarded nobody is willing to use these technologies and they persist only in overpriced sony equipment.
Guess what, I don't want my TV to utilize my toasters processor power, or my PS3's, or anything else. Thats fucking stupid and you and I both know it. SONY's failure preceds the, and the cell processor will flounder just like all their other attempts to capture markets. Sony didn't force the minidisc on anyone, ATRAC is stupid, memory stick lost to CF/SD and this will be another looser to.
I had Verizon DSL and my DSLAM was hopelessly oversubscribed -- to make capacity it would drop individual TCP connections (seemingly chosen by round robin). So every once in awhile -- an image on a web page woudln't load or something. No big deal -- right? wrong... The longer you had a connection open the greater the chance it would be dropped. So if you played an online game for a few hours during the day the probability of being dropped converges on 100%.
Believe it or not I have actually been much better off with Adelphia cable >eek

Listen to this guy, He gets it. None of you got it, if there was a prize he just won it.
Surely it is Bayesian classification which brings my Athlon 1700 to a screeching halt (spam assassin) (takes about 1 second to classify an e-mail). There are FPGA and DSP based Bayesian classification systems, they should really look into them.
Unfortunately, its price is listed at about 10x the "few hundred dollars" the original submitter specified in his posting.
Well, the submitters boss is an idiot. Just because you have 200$ to spend on a project doesn't mean the project can be done for 200$. Undoubtedly whats going on is someone has made it his responsibility to do this project, without any real concern or the ammount of effort. This is pretty standard in just about any business/university:(. I worked for a university and every day the question was "how can we stretch our resources further?". My servers operated continually under a load AVERAGE of 4-5.
Yes and no... Q was used that way by the shitty writers, but if you'll remember Q was the quickly forgotten basis of TNG. The series began and ended with Q putting humanity on trial, and if you ask me the last episode of the series was by far the best episode of the entire series. It had an interesting plot, character development, intrigue, mystery; in short -- all the things they had avoided the entire series:)
Actually, thats happened. In San Diego there was a guy who killed some 5 or 6 year old girl, and when the cops arrested him, they surfed for some kiddy porn, then took the machine into evidence.
I've known a few cops in my day... you have to know something about their psychology. First of all, most of them are NOT that smart (the super geniuses of the world don't say to themselves "hey, I wanna make 30k a year and get shot at!"). Second of all, there are only two KINDS of people to cops, "good guys", and "bad guys." Cops become more and more jaded as they deal with human filth all day, and pretty soon in their minds everyone but their immediate family becomes the "bad guys." They then rationalize doing whatever is necessary to put you in jail because you're a "bad guy" and they're putting you away for something they know you did, but just didn't catch you. They also personalize everything -- I'm framing this guy to protect someones kids, to protect someones grandma.
If you sandwich 1 player in between the two traveling opposite directions and add some malsicious intent and poor sportsmanship, you have the malachi crunch.
Your Honor, I present Exhibit A, a posting from "Anonymous Coward." Here he asserts that he is an expert in the realm of internet policy, and that the following facts are indeed true...
I seem to have misplaced the URL right now, but a slashdot post I made was quoted in an Australian tech journal, with attribution to "Monkelectric".
I don't think its actually a huge leap to think that posts could be evidence .
oh GOD FUCKING DAMNIT. Who marked me a "troll" for a comment about 1984? I am so sick of the moderation on slashdot! If you don't get that joke, read 1984 and then get back to me and see if you think I'm still a "Troll".
The problem with the theme song is it's emotionally manipulative/dishonest, and thats what you sense as being terrible about it.
The Big Idea (tm) was to show man's struggle to expand himself and put a sappy but well produced pop song over it (the guy who sang it is actually quite famous in south america):) So from memory, the theme song starts with sea ships, then to actual space missions, then to imagined moments in the future which were pivatol to space flight. Thats where the idea breaks down, You feel the majesty of the old sea ships, you feel the pride of the NASA missions, but the synthetic future moments provide at best, synthetic emotions:)
