What, the Mario cartoons don't count as anime? As I recall there were also Zelda and Kirby cartoons. And who can forget Captain Nintendo? That stuff had to be made in Japan, right?
Or is it that they are going to do it in-house instead of licensing it out?
I don't think you are supposed to aim the pointer at the cat. Aim it at the wall. The cat will chase the light on the wall. Then move it around rapidly and see how many objects you can get the cat to run into. Works better with particularly stupid dogs.
Of course we had backups. The project wasn't big enough to bother with CVS, though. It worked as long as common sense was used. However, this fellow apparently didn't see anything wrong with writing functions into a two week old copy of the library and then dropping it into the working copy.
Over the summer I had to do an "extreme programming" project. The group had three members, including myself.
I was the 'code monkey' type. I took care of the libraries and helper functions and regular expressions and filesystem quirks.
The second member was the database guy and front-end guy.
Since both of us could to an extent do the job of the other while being primarily focused on separate components, this worked well. We sat down and worked on our own stuff. Occasionally we would request functions of each other, and rarely a problem would crop up that benefitted from combined knowledge. The most useful part of having someone sitting next to you was when you have those brain fart moments when you can't figure out why the thing doesn't compile or work properly. Then your buddy looks over and points at the spot where the close-brace should go and everything is rosy again. Despite having never worked together, we quickly came to trust each others work.
On the other hand, the third member was useless. No matter what work was assigned to him or requested by him, he could not accomplish it without major help. He did not make any deadlines until nearly the end of the project. Even then, everything he produced had to be rewritten or overhauled. He was eventually banned from putting functions in the libraries because he had a habit of working from old files and wiping out our good working copies. Despite his enthusiasm and willingness to make a great effort at trying to learn, I cringe at the thought of working with him again or using anything he produces. He will probably end up working for Microsoft. (Other than all that, I have nothing against him. Nice guy really.)
The Point: It all depends on who you work with.
When they start pricing their non-physical versions like Monte does his, I will buy more Wizards books. That isn't to say I don't buy Wizards books now, but I mostly limit it to books that I'm getting a lot of use out of. If I'm just browsing I grab a copy from P2P. Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed was only $5 (there was some sort of special because I bought some other PDFs) so I bought it. For $5 I support one of my favorite designers, avoid doing something illegal, and get much better quality.
Downloaded. Burned. Booted.
Starts up fine... gets to xinit, dies. Can't find mouse. Odd. ls/dev/wait a minute, no keyboard input. My USB keyboard isn't accepted? The friggin BIOS accepts input from my USB keyboard. Shouldn't this sort of thing accept standard configurations like USB input devices?
I'm a CS student, and thankfully our labs here at UF offer a bit of variety. In the main lab where the masses go to check their e-mail or whatever it is they do, you can choose between Windows, Unix, and eMacs. The "real" lab has Windows and Solaris machines, and Linux machines in the next room. The only time I can't avoid the Windows machines is when I'm programming my chip.
Oh, yeah, thats right... *change* in current will produce the opposite current. Which is one reason why alternating current is nice, you can build transformers fairly easy.
I believe what you are trying to do is induction. A current in one coil should produce an opposite current in another coil. For best effect, put an iron core inside, which should make the magnetic field stronger. Or something like that. Can't remember much else from physics 2.
My problem isn't so much the engine being inaccessible.
My problem is that someone thought magnetized seat covers were a good idea.
When I get in the car, where do I put my laptop?
Uh... you've got your units a bit off. 40 is "miles/hour", that g is "meters/second^2" (which is incorrect for Mars), and you somehow wind up with units of feet when you multiply them?
Neverwinter Nights, one of the first MMORPGs. This game was hosted by AOL. It ran in a DOS box and the server had a user limit of 500. It was almost always full. One day, AOL said "Ok, we're closing NWN down in X days". And everyone moaned and complained with good right. It was the only game of its kind out, and it was good. The next best thing was a MUD. But they closed it down anyway. The server was full to the end. And they replaced it with card games.
Look on Apple's website. There is a device for broadcasting your iPod (or other player, I would assume) via FM to nearby receivers. No in-jack required.
I know. But there is a thing called "eBay", upon which one might find ancienct obsolete hardware such as the 5 gig iPod for significantly less than what it originally sold for. And probably less than the current base model.
What if I wanted to get rid of my hair? The hair on my head is nice, but the hair everywhere else can be a bother. I'd rather just be smooth all over, like... like... an alien! Advanced lifeforms are hairless. I want to be advanced. And look good in nudey pictures.
I met a power supply once that didn't play nice. When we placed components into the case, the machine would boot and I could install NT or Mandrake, but neither would boot after. After trying just about everything else, I put all the parts into an identical case with an identical power supply. Magically, everything worked. I then put everything back into the other case. Bam. Nadda. I am guessing that it was supplying good enough power to run OS installers, but once it got to loading up the full OS and start up all the hardware and such it would run out of power or start supplying irregular voltages or something. Anyway, we disposed of it as though it were diseased.
Imagine a dog that likes to dig holes, bury stuff, destroy small flowering plants, and that sort of thing. The dog is confined to a fenced off yard. Your yard. You can't get rid of the dog (for unspecified reasons, just go with it), but you can train it or let it run around outside the fence, or possibly both. But the dog is difficult to train, and it would take months or years to get it to stop digging up your yard. So what do you do? Let it run about in the countryside and do as it will. Nobody lives out there to care about holes or poo or whatever. The important thing is that it is not tearing up your yard (as much). While it isn't out playing in the woods, you can train it at your leisure. Then, when it is an old dog not inclined to go running about the countryside, you will still have a nice yard for it to lounge about in, and it won't destroy everything.
I can't think of a decent way to continue the metaphor to include the "don't put all your eggs in one basket" purpose for colonization, but there is that too.

Someone will be paying for lots of bandwidth, but the SPITers won't be paying most of it. Viruses, trojans and zombies oh my!

GMail doesn't have folders.
Sensible? Well anyway, if you have a disk with sensitive information on it, you should encrypt that information anyway.

I'd say the large solar panels on top of the rovers (and most space equipment) might have something to do with this.

They are much more likely to remove the GPL'd code than they are to open up their product.

Thats a very small 30 gig drive. Hmmm... the 5 gig model might be in my price range now...

For any value of 2B. FYI.
Nope. Nair is not for use on pubic or nipple hair. Read the bottle. Don't ask why I know that...
