Trickflow makes a 10,000 RPM capable Ford 302 crank, and Romac makes a 10,000 RPM capable Ford 302 harmonic balancer, those both being huge limitations to getting up to 10K RPM. Put a set of 351C heads on a 302 with those plus roller rocker arms, chromoly pushrods, and upgraded valvesprings/lifters/cam, and you basically have an old BOSS engine that revs like a Honda B18C5 with just under 3 times the displacement. Slap a pair of turbos on THAT, and there isn't much of anything short of a top fuel that will really run you down.;)
I have a book on EGA/VGA programming, and it tells you basically how to ruin your CRT by writing the hardware registers. This is obviously before multisync and refresh rate protection appeared on monitors, but it was possible and I'm pretty sure a virus was written to take advantage of it.
Mildly offtopic, but OHC engines are not some magical super tech that is superior to OHV pushrod engines. Look at the LS1. That thing is a monster at 346cid, no one can touch it. Do some HCI work and that thing will drop down over 500HP to the wheels. Stock, they get about 28MPG on the highway. Pushrod engines also make more low end torque per unit displacement than an OHC engine. To make up for that, the OHC usually has a pretty steep final drive ratio (5:1, 4.1:1)
Pushrod engines can make it to 10,000 RPM, you just have to install hearened materials and upraded valve springs to combat lifter pumpup.
Also, I know that Ford has been making OHC engines since at least the 1960s, with their 427cid SOHC, so it's not "new" by any means.
I do agree with the rest of your statement though. The bean counters fuck up the engineering at every turn and it's sad to see American companies with egg on their face, knowing they're fully cappable of so much more, but when you have accountants design cars, that's what you get.
Sometimes flash ads in Opera will eat 100% CPU and drive Opera's memory usage up like crazy. If i close that tab (and it's usually slashdot, grr...) then the usage drops to 0% and memory slowly returns to normal. Macromedia Flash viewer seems to definitely have a problem.
Yup. Imagine you're running an e-commerce site. Every person that comes to your site is a potential sale, but not if you load your page with so much javascript that it will not function without it. A lot of people browse with it off/disabled (at least a lot of the clients to the place I work at) so you can't rely on it. I use AJAX as much as I can now, but the only thing I *rely* on is CSS 1.0 and HTML 4.01 (Which is unfortunate, I'd like to use CSS 2.1 and XHTML, but I can't change the world...) If the browser can't even handle that (like Netscape 4), we still have a really stripped down version, and you can still buy, but it's kind of a crap site that's unmaintained, but it's still a working, db-driven site.
If you wanted pulse, I think you could use ATDP####### (AT Dial Pulse instead of Dial Tone). ATM had 2 bits, or 0-3: 0:mute, 1:dial sound only, 2:dial and connection sounds, and 3: all sounds. 3 got annoying very fast. +++ usually hung up, IIRC.
I think it was called DriveSpace (DRVSPACE.EXE) and was a memory hog. I think it ate something like 30-40K of low mem. I don't even think you could put it into the UMB (I am possibly wrong on this as I didn't do too much experimenting with it, but without a lot of playing I couldn't get it up there), so it was a real waste of very valuable resources.
Please note I wasn't specifically looking for pros vs cons of the shit. I personally hate it, I can taste when it's in my food, and I have a sneaking suspicion it wrecked my digestive system. However, I don't know all there is to know about it so I really can't point fingers, but I can stop, and have stopped, eating it.
Um, the early 90's was technically 'latecomer' as well. The internet had been around for a long time before then. Most of it was just universities and researchers at science facilities like Bell Labs on Usenet, that functionality was around well before 1990. Some of the RFCs for the internet date well into the mid 1970's. (Might even be before as well, I only have a spotty history of the primitive internet before the mid 1980's).
A bit offtopic:
As long as you keep the bitrate high enough, you won't hear it. If you take a song encoded in 128Kbps MP3 (a slightly low, but not uncommon, rate) and convert it at 128Kbps to Ogg or WMA, it WILL sound like shit. I've had luck doing it from 256Kbps and below MP3 into 320Kbps (0.9q) Ogg and can't tell the difference.
When I *do* write code for windows, it's always in the Win32 API. It is certainly somewhat kludgy but it definitely isn't "terrible". This CLR bullshit is great for Business apps, but what about for things that require performance? (That is, when they DO decide to drop the Win32 API).
I suppose you are right... It's truly sad to see that, as you noted, the government already has at least 1/3 to 1/2 of parenting so intertwined in itself that it's difficult to argue why they shouldn't be liable in some of these cases, which means they are believed to need more power, which breeds more liability, ad nauseum.
Uh huh. Because precisely what we need are more laws, because we can't trust parents to be responsible enough to apply their moral values (which may not be the same as yours, by the way) to their little bastards.
I don't know what pisses me off more, the government sticking its dick in everyones proverbial ass, or the parents that expect laws to do their jobs for them.
Shit like this is proof positive that democracies and republics are goddamn shams, because damn near everyone is goddamn stupid and their combined ineptitude ends up fucking the whole thing up.
I was in Southern Illinois with some friends at one time in the not too distant past, and if those guys aren't rednecks, then there is no such thing.
Anyhow, this complete redneck just came over to where we were standing and of course the conversation took a turn towards politics. The redneck blurted out "I'd rather vote for a hispanic-speakin' nigger than Bush".
For that reason, I don't think it's the rednecks that voted for Bush so much as the hardcore fundamentalist Christians.
Um... you know my marital status, how? Also, I've applied for approximately zero mortgages, so again, baseless and retarded seems to be your game. And how are either a sign of trust? Logic 101. Go take some.
Now, about the bet:
You know damn well there is no authority that either of us can produce that the other will trust. So that basically throws this whole thing in the garbage from the get go. Add that to the fact that you have or will research airbag deployment on howstuffworks or wikipedia or whatever other resource you like before answering the bet. Unless you are a complete imbecile and can't copy and paste from one of the above sites, I'd lose the bet. No, I don't think I'd go through with obtaining an escrow service, finding some kind of impartial 3rd party, just to assuredly lose whatever money we agreed to bet. It would have had to be in-person, on the spot. The moment's gone.
Alright, if you want to play that card, we'll play it. I'm just sorta curious where all these retarded and baseless stabs are coming from, seeing as how you're supposedly educated (Medicated dad, pfft. Proving once again our educational system is only as good as the monkies it trains) and have had the time and resources to have accumulated a family. Aren't you a bit old to be playing these games? Or are you perhaps in the midst of some sort of midlife crisis where you need to act like your balls haven't dropped yet?
And yes, I do live with my parents, however I make only slightly less than my father. I'm also quite young, well below the age most people set out on their own, so, no, I'm not sponging, no matter how much you assert or insist otherwise. So, care to explain how an airbag deploys?

Doesn't matter, someone will take the output of the decrypted transmission from the DRM IC and release it on the internet.

Fuckin a, the analogy of the decade is right here.

"Caged ball" is sorta like a mercury switch, except with two contacts instead of one.

Depress the right mouse button, drag down, then right :)
Wait, they're getting rid of the Win32 API? In favor of what? .NET? May god have mercy on us all if that is true.

You're missing a zero. 00000-99999 is 100,000 different combinations.
