I snake the XLR cables down the hallway from the computer room into a bedroom:) You wait till everyone leaves, turn off everything that makes noise (TV's, AC's, fans, computers), hope the next-doors arent building something or working on their hick-cars and reving the engine. Hope no cars drive by with loud stereo's, no garbage trucks, sweet sweepers, hope that the marching band at the highschool down the street (that you used to play in) isn't practicing either... You hope no kids come selling candy, the phone dosent ring (because you forgot to turn it off), you hope for no mormons, no fedex, no ups, no mailman, you need an hour of silence!
Then you start recording, you can't get a good take because its 90 degrees, this is california and its sweltering inside cuz you had to turn off the AC, you're sweating and out of breath... on the 25th take you remember those albums you played on in highschool and the freezing studio you recorded in... god what you would give... on the 30th take you squeak out something you can live with, you can fix the nasty bits in auto-tune right?:)
It's not glorious, but its all worth in when the track comes together:)
I dont know sparc asm (if thats what they call it even), so I cant comment on the presence or absense of stack instructions. However, thats really a non-issue because no matter how the stack is implemented the stack still exists:)
Heres directions how to enable stack-protection on solaris 2.6:D

hehe your activism is poorly used here. Memory protection is a critical OS concept and has been built into every intel cpu since the 386. The only mechanism needed to keep the CPU from running code on the stack is a list of stack areas:) The same concept keeps programs from accessing other programs memory space in modern OS's (linux, NT/XP, BSD etc). The problem is it protects a program from being overwritten by other programs, not itself:D
Almost all OS's do that but for another reason entirely -- if you know what memory is code and what memory is data then when you need to start clearing memory by writing it to the pagefile, you can just throw away the executable data and re-read it from the binary if its needed. This is why you can't modify/move an EXE (to borrow a windows term) while it is running.
When you make a function call, the last thing that goes on the stack (think of the stack as scratch space for a running program) should be the address to return to after that function is done... so you overwrite *that* address to execute additional instructions you've placed on the stack.
The fix is to design the CPU so it refuses to run code in an area designated as stack space, pretty much what you've said but most CPU's differentiate between code and data only (because code has different cacheing rules then data). I'm pretty sure sun/sparcs can keep track of stack space as well if you supply some weird option in the bios. I would imagine other cpus are capable of this as well.
hey 100 is *sooo* much better then the first generation CD-RW's (which I was foolish enough to buy). They lasted between 2 and 4 burns, and the way you found out they were broken was by loosing your data. Also those first disks seemed to degrade over time, they would verify correctly a few minutes after the burn, but then after a few days/weeks they were worthless and full of errors (with no abuse).
That scared me off using them for 3 or 4 years, but I recently started using them again and they dont seem to have these problems now.
Don't worry about your SAT score -- *everyone GETS IN* to UCR; few get out. The graduation rate for UCR as a whole is 60%, and the engineering college -- 30%.
That being said, Randall Hyde's antics are legendary. He screams, throws tantrums, is belligerent to student, staff and faculty. He has flunked entire classes delaying their graduation, instead of teaching course materials he teaches languages *he* invented. Linking to him is kind of like saying, here's a link to the devils website, he's the devil, but he's got some good points.
But I didn't expect you to know any of that, was just making an observation:) If you'd like to discuss it privately you can shoot an email to my address above.
Obviously you are/have not [been] a UCR student otherwise you would know that Randall Hyde is a capital asshole:) His dishonor is so great that even linking to him is shamefull.
Disney sends free "shwag" to my mother (a 3rd grade teacher) -- whatever piece of crap movie they are hyping she gets a care package -- *lots of* disney themed learning software (pocahontas, dalmations, etc), complete sets of mc donalds affiliate toys to give to the kids, books, etc.
Of course because the school shes at has an equiptment budget of 1000$ a year (for *all* of your expenses), shes happy to have software and toys to give the kids.
But of course the kids rush right out and see the movie -- exactly what disney wants...
So my question to you is -- Is disneys manipulation more, less, or equally evil compared to apple ?
My brother and I are always amazed at the parts they find in the junkyard that are perfect for the described task. Also it seems to us that most of the time one or both of the teams would fail to create a working machine in the time alotted. Most of my friends can't manage to pick their nose and scratch their ass on the same day.
Ive written dos mouse drivers before... its really pretty trivial. The hardest part at the time (long ago) was getting documentation on the mouse but a copy of pc secrets cleared that up.
yes! They also have "optional segments" which are sub plots that don't alter the story significantly and thus can be edited out. Star Trek TNG had them, some episode guides even go over them.
I'm an Andy Griffith show fan, and Vie seen each of them 10x at least on the local fox affiliate in my area... Later an affiliate picked up the episodes and low and behold, they left the optional segments in! (Usually a joke at the end of the show that wrapped everything up -- its important to note I don't know if they were actually optional segments or fox was just being bastardly). I was *uber* pissed to learn that in 10 years of watching the show I had missed 60 seconds of each of them.
Motherboards can take a surprising ammount of abuse. My water cooling case had a massive failure (resiviour and radiator cracked at the same time!!) and just soaked my motherboard and about half the carpet while it was running.
The machine shut off about 30 seconds after the ordeal when it overheated but, for that 30 seconds she was running wet...
I dried everything off, replaced the parts that blew, and she runs like a trooper!

The openbios on sparcs is pretty tightly integrated with the OS I thought it was in there:)

Dosen't the url he gave have a referal code?

Cool, I was an admin for EE :)

That is way closer then the y-23 that also looked damn close :) thanks

Do you have over 1600 [slashdot.org] comments? Why Not?
I wouldn't brag about those 1600 posts if they are all of simliar quality to this one.
it dosen't but eudora restores the directory
are you sure? my registered version still tripped ad-aware
Eudora is full of spyware my friend. I switched from eudora to evolution for that reason.

NO!! NOT FUNNY! ARRRRRRRRRR
Yep. I know some application developers here in southern california making *9* dollars/hour.
I cant even tell you how sick that makes me :)
I never understood that one ... couldn't I tile pentagons and break the therom ?
I guess the hadn't discovered more then 256 colors in the 1500's
