Ok... now say you invest those dollars at 6% APR for those 80 years... investments at that rate are still very low risk. At 6% the value of your investment will double every 12 years (Rule of 72). This means that you will have more than 64 times as many dollars at the end of those 80 years. Even if they are each only worth 1/20th as much, you still have three times as much wealth.
Why would you think that he didn't mean felicitous? His opinion is that OpenBSD is a great operating system; therefore, the event that lead to its creation is an event marked by good fortune. So, from his point of view, the squabble was indeed felicitous.
IAAL, and I am strongly biased towards a descriptivist methodology. However, even perfectly fluent native speakers make mistakes in the things they way. People don't always utter exactly what it is they intended to utter. Even the most staunch descriptivist linguist is well aware of the high rate of errors that occur in natural speech. Add to this the fact that a child may grow up being exposed to several different dialects/styles/registers of a given language, and will likely be able to learn the subtleties of each. The task of separating this data into the related chunks is a quite difficult task (recognizing that a particular person was utilizing a particular speech style at a particular time, etc.)
So, in the end, we must still confront the problem of dealing with noisy data.
People who are running Linux machines have very little use for pirated windows applications... because they can't run them... except very crappily under WINE. If you want to run pirated windows apps, the easiest way is to buy a windows machine......not a Linux-box or a macintosh.
But (unless I misunderstand the term and it's specificially excluded) the dictionary missed yaw: Nose-righty/nose-lefty.
I think that yaw does not count as attitude, because it does not change the relationship between the wings of a plane and the plane of the Earth. This relationship stays the same when the plane spins around its vertical axis.
Donkey was a fun little program... it fascinated me because I was about 4 years old when we got our 4.5Mhz (9Mhz turbo!) IBM 8088 machine.
There was a two-lane highway running from the bottom of the screen from the top and you were driving along it. The spacebar was used to switch lanes. Your car moved up the screen and the donkey moved down the screen. The objective of the game was to avoid a collision with the donkey. It got harder as the game went because each time the donkey appeared you were a little bit closer to the top of the screen, and therefore had less time to react.
The cursors are transparent, yes, but work by taking a snapshot of what's underneath and laying out a shadow manually. If what's underneath changes, the shadow's fakeness will be revealed...
Not true... I can watch the digital clock applet in my panel run under my mouse cursor and the redglass cursor maintains the look of transparency flawlessly. Of course, until we get monitors with multiple physical layers, NOTHING will have TRUE TRANSPARENCY, but I'm okay with that.
I'm having the same problem, also under Gentoo. I've found that the problem is a little more bearable with the low-latency patch and _without_ the preempt patch, but it still jerks my system around pretty hard.
It just depends on what numbers you say correspond to what quantity. It's not entirely unnatural (for humans) to say that the first configuration (i.e., all fingers up) corresponds to "1" and the final configuration corresponds to "32". That said, I developed my binary finger counting skills in biology class to count things like the heartbeats of small animals under a microscope and I always let the first configuration correspond to zero.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One nation, indivisible,
With liberty and justice for all

If you compile Mozilla with g++ from 3.1 then you will be incompatible with plugins compiled by other copmilers... Does Gentoo 1.3 make the older compilers available?
Those hand cuffs are high-tensile steel. With this saw you can hack through them in ten minutes; you can probably cut through your ankle in five. </movie scene>
MTV2 is actually much better than MTV. If you watch MTV2 you can see videos from bands like Fleetwood MAC and their ilk. Good stuff. And they only repeat videos, like, every eight hours or so. You shouldn't watch for that long, anyway. What's more, you only rarely see Carson Daly there.
You seem to have misunderstood Mr. Carmack. He doesn't deny that money is a motivation for him, but that "more money" is a "major motivator". His claim is more like this: "I have sufficient money that I'm not motivated to do something purely for the purpose of getting more money."
He obviously wants other things more than he wants to get richer than he already is. I'm not a mind reader, but I'm guessing those things include personal satisfaction, public recognition, love, health, and probably the ability to maintain his current standard of living. This is just an example of how money can only take you so far on the road towards happiness.

Allegro is a cross platform API. If it uses directx for some things, it only does that on Windows, and not DOS, Linux, Mac, etc.

Except they DO make money of my paper. They sell access to a database. Part of the reason that database has value is that it includes my paper.
