The pads are so tiny that they actually cling to the surface at the molecular level, due to van der Waal forces. A gecko using all of its setae and pads at the same time could support 280 pounds.
So all I have to do is collect a few gecko feet, and I'm Spiderman. Ooh, sorry about that little lizard guy. Got AFLAC?
When I buy diskwashing detergent, I am most likely to simply buy the one that seems most familiar and isn't too much more expensive than the ones I've never heard of. In short, the one that has advertised the most.
I don't normally wash my disks, but I do wash dishes on occasion, and when I buy dishwashing detergent, I buy the one rated best buy by Consumer Reports. All the advertising on TV has had zero effect.
No, someone's been watching too much Farscape. And Crichton's hanging in space above the Earth because of a poorly executed trip through a worm hole, and he'll be there until JANUARY when the new season starts. Don't ask me how I know.
If they can get these to display choices in a color-coded 36-point typeface, it might fly in West Palm Beach. (Of course the voters would still need their lawyer to drag their finger to the screen.)
I was having a good chuckle as I read the post, waiting for the punch line. It never came. You have obviously never voted. The long wait in line is already bad enough. You want to encourage people who are too stupid to study the issues before election day to vote??!! And spend HOURS in the booth reading about 26 initiatives??!! Go away. And please DON'T VOTE. Leave that to the people who are willing to think about their choices.
You might argue that IBM ended up losing out to its competition in the PC market and shouldn't have done this. I believe, however, that the open nature of the PC eventually resulted in a total market sized hundreds of times larger than what would have resulted under IBM's total proprietary control. They probably made more profit in PCs, PC-based servers and PC software over the last 20 years than they ever would have if the system weren't open.
IBM didn't lose big-time until they tried to close the standard with the PS/2 and the public refused to go for it. Like their buddy MicroSoft, IBM wanted the whole pie, not just a large piece. They suffered for their short-sighted greed^H^H^H^H^Hmarketing.
Around the top of this gray hole is a specially designed water proof plug. The plug simply tightens down very hard on the power cable so that no water can escape.
Let's all hope he's mistaken about running water through the power cable.
I poured in about a half a cup of antifreeze to help the algae down, and I also used distilled water.
Well, of course, and you don't want the computer refusing to start on those cold mornings.
Would you PLEASE stop posting this stuff? When you've got an alcohol (preferably gin and dry vermouth, shaken, not stirred) cooled sytem, then I'll be interested.
Is nothing sacred? Now, you commie OSS degenerates have committed font abuse. How disgusting. We should have a group of concerned organizations look into this. How about the Font Anti-Abuse Alliance (FAAA)?
I can agree with your point (to a point). London in the 1800's was, for most it appears, a tough, gritty, numbing, and often short-lived existence. Life was cheap, and death was plentiful.
However, the harsh life in 19th century London did not come with a full stomach, an adrenaline-pumping sound track, and bonus points for dismembering everything in sight in the most gruesome manner possible. Just a thought.
I stand corrected, I think. That memory has gone quite a while without a refresh. It still seems to me that someone, if not Motorola then Zilog, had a processor with more address lines. Maybe not. I don't feel up to evicting all the spiders in the garage to search for the antique data books. You win.:)
Also for those people attacking the 640K limit, what would they do instead? Realistically there was no choice.
It was IBM's choice to use a reduced number of address lines (and cheaper components) and to select the OS provider (although they did offer a choice of OS initially).
They could have selected a different CPU and a different OS, and who knows, we could have avoided the whole sordid Wintel history and been entitled to excellent karma as a birthright. No... that's utopia.
By using a smallest algorithm you get no benefit over random or largest, except for the option of negating the purpose of dual rolls.
I normally don't get into the scatalogical stuff, but the above asumption is wrong for places where the people using the article are not the ones who replace the article.
I work in a place where the men's restroom in the software section (can't vouch for the women's restroom) has 3 stalls, two have the "forcing function" dispensers, and one has the dual roll dispenser.
The "forcing function" dispensers have long since been severely damaged as a result of (I'm assuming) lack of fulfillment during a moment of need.
The rolls in the recently installed "dual roll" stall were initially subject to the algorithm large. Once the sight of two nearly empty rolls greeted the visitors, the popular usage quickly became algorithm small.

Get off your high horses and do what the rest of us have to do. Make software that works dammit! Be pragmatic for once. Geez.
Translation: I'm a Windows programmer. Don't try to confuse me with standards or good software practices, and don't pee in my rice bowl.

Why did the Roman Empire collapse? What is the Latin for office automation?

The unmodified Xbox has Halo and many more dollars and hours. Any questions yet?
Yeah. You have an unmodded Xbox that has "many more dollars and hours"? Your Xbox has a load of cash and lot of uptime? Well, interesting, I guess.
An unmodified Xbox has Halo. Any questions?
The modded Xbox has Halo, too. Any questions?
AC posts are designed to protect the ignorant as well as the guilty.
You were trolling for something else?
You really don't want to know. Trust me.

I don't know if it's justice, but after looking at the second pic, all I could think was: so the monsters in Doom III aren't circumcised...
Okay, NOW I get it - I'm just running at 8MHz today. :)

You can have my watercooling kit when you can pry it out of my cold dead computer.
I think that sig should be: You can have my watercooling kit when you can pry it out of my steaming, dead computer. :)
Yawn. Not nearly as cool as Pigs in Spaaaaace!
Good clarification. Now I don't have to try it. 3-of-9 barcodes tend to be more forgiving though when printed on less than perfect equipment.

Yeah, you're a woman. Nice try, posting AC.
