PNG is not seldom used, and CSS is definitely seldom used. It would not take a long time to add these features so that their browser can actually work properly. It's broken, they cannot claim CSS compliance nor can they claim they properly render PNG images.
Naw, Chicago. I know a few people by the Mississippi river basin, which is very flood prone. And yeah, once a car is flooded, it's seriously done. I wouldn't even bother with it.
Well, when someone wants to steal your car for scrap, they usualy wreck a lot of things in the process in their haste. I've seen smash and grab jobs that are really worse than just taking the item, because they've severed wiring harnesses just enough to get them to cause problems, for example.
If you bought the car used, consider this: I've seen some *really* good deals come up (for others, I don't have the money to buy cars like candy like a lot of people I've met), someone buys the car, only to discover a month later it was in a flood. Floods do weird things to cars. You can make them shine again and look great, but the electricals are normally enriched with gremlins.
Compact Disks already have extra bits of redundancy built in to accomodate scratches. I think it's called Reed-Solomon error correction, but whatever it is, it's there. I'm sure something similar will be on this new media.
Well, Macro Assemblers were really the first "language", I guess you could say. A straight up Assembler is just a translator, so yeah, machine language.
I don't know man, I got a buddy who adjuncts at the local CC and he makes precisely dick. Masters in Bio and has a good rating on ratemyprofessor.com (no link 'cause it's not important). Some really do care, and spend summer teaching. They get nothing compared to the effort they put in. I work with them every day (IT at a High School). Sure, some are stupid and lazy. But some really get paid nothing for what they do.
Final Fantasy exists on the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance platforms. As a matter of fact, I've been sorta playing FF:Crystal Chronicles on the GC with a buddy and two GBA:SPs, it's pretty fun, but I wish they'd release an FF6-style game with multiplay support... Oh, and FF1 and FF2 for the GBA were a lifesaver during jury duty.
I think that's more the source site sending different style information based on user-agent strings than Opera having multiple rendering engines. The "Bork!" browser that Opera released was a play on this; MSN was specifically targeting Opera browsers and feeding them mangled CSS.
Yeah, here (http://martybugs.net/wireless/biquad/) is one very good site I refer to for biquad antenna construction. Another tip, when I was studying the NEETS guides that are available for free on the internet, they recommended a horizontal radiation pattern if you have to dodge through trees and urban landscape.
Don't bother with an omni if you're going to just link up with a friend. Get some used Primestar dishes and build a nice bi-quad antenna on the end where the focal point is. You'll bleed off a lot of power going the wrong direction, you may interfere with neighbors (if you don't care, then that's great), and lastly, you aren't exposing your wireless link to common passers-by with malicious intent.
Perhaps I wasn't specific enough. You make contacts outside your company through your customer contacts. ALWAYS have your feelers out looking for better work, because god knows your company is too.
Don't worry about the semi-troll. He obviously has a circumstance that is not common now-a-days in the corporate environment of the United States. You shouldn't rely on others to keep you afloat. EVER. It's a folly and so many people do it that it's amazing this country isn't melting down yet.
Regardless, just because you look out for number 1 doesn't mean you end up screwing over everyone else. You do a good job for your business's customers, word gets out that you're the guy who gets things done, you make contacts and become very desired as an employee. This makes your company's reputation shine, since you do good work for yourself.
I definitely agree on the tuning. I got new cylinder heads lined up with some other stuff (injectors, intake, headers, valve train and camshaft) and I'd be a retard to not get my ECU reprogrammed, even if it is capable of learning its operating parameters.
Monster Garage started letting me down. You watch these guys build a badass machine but then they skirt around all the cool tech stuff. What a bunch of pandering pussies.
And yeah, I'm not too big into the whole Mustang/Camaro/Civic/Insert Popular Car scene where every car does the exact same shit to get into the 9's (or for Hondas, 13s,:p). I do have a Mustang engine/trans, but it's in a Lincoln, so it's a sleeper and (to me) bad ass.
Well, it's all about where you make your power, and how your gearing is setup to harness that power. If you examine the torque band of a big block, you don't need to keep it up in the 5-6,000 range to make good power. At 1,800 RPM a BBF can make over 750 ft-lbs of torque. Not that I'm really particular about running huge engines, I like small block V8's with power adders myself, but you really can't argue with 2400HP.
As far as pig rich, small engined cars: The Nissan Skyline I mentioned, a Toyota Supra at Bowling Green, KY, almost any RX-7 you will see (since if they don't run rich they blow seals), Honda CRX turboed, Acura Legend something or another. Most tuners will run rich out of fear that they waste their head gaskets. Not that a larger engine is immune to tuning errors, but as far as who runs richest, it's the rednecks who don't know shit, followed by the import tuners. I don't know if there's a reason for that or not. I do think it's particularly telling that my 4,000lb V8 slushbox car (with driver) gets the same EPA rated gas mileage as a 3400-3500lb I6 manual Supra.
Don't get me wrong, I like Supras and Skylines and whatever. If it goes fast, it's good, but it's not like 1966 Mustangs grow on trees...
See, that's just an annoying comment. Ford BOSS 302 redlines somewhere in the upper 7000's. My Ford 5.0L HO redlines at 6250RPM. Besides, redlines are a stupid measure of power. A big block redlines at 4,000, but I guarantee no 10,000 RPM S2000 would touch one in a drag. If my car has a flat torque curve from 2000-4500 at about 300 ft lbs and your car has a redline at 9000 but a wimpy and peaky torque band (like the aforementioned S2000) you will not win a race.
Also, those small, windy engines hopped up with turbos usually run pig rich. Last Skyline I saw that could compete with a modded Corvette was running so rich you could see the soot on the rear bumper. Yeah it was fast, but it was dirty as shit. I don't think Supras are exactly known for their gas mileage either: in fact a 1998 Supra gets the same gas milage as my 1990 Lincoln according to the EPA, and I have a shitbox AOD while the Supra has a 6-speed.
It's not simply marketing though, Athlon ratings are multipliers against the performance of a Duron (I believe it's a Duron, but that's a minor detail) clocked at 1GHz. So a 2200 should be about 2.2x faster than a 1GHz Duron.
Also, the speed rating on any chip is fluff now that newer processor core design techniques have pretty much changed the entire way a processor works since the old 486 days. Only way to really tell anymore is benchmarking. Just like hitting the quarter in your car to see how it compares.
"It's kinda like putting a Toyota 2.5L VVT-i Twin Turbo into a 1966 Mustang and having Ford warranty it."

I don't know whether to be sad or amazed.
I just bought EV Nova from Ambrosia. Great friggin game, but there are a number of technical flaws and UI issues that you probably wouldn't find in a EA release. Mostly polish, but for example: when I die and have to reload my pilot, they didn't write a nice custom dialogue that matches the main opening menu theme, they just used the Win32 API's OpenFile() function. That's fine, it's a good function, but if I'm in fullscreen mode it will pop back out to windowed mode to load the pilot, then pop back into full screen after I made my selection. Not a showstopper, but it is iritating. Maybe I'm just a stickler when it comes to UI, but it would be a nice touch on a good game.
You can add Limbaugh and Bush's IQs together and it couldn't boil water
Celcius or Fahrenheit?
Seriously though, you're right. I've spent a non-trivial amount of time in San Antonio and the highway system was never really that bad. If you were concerned about taking I35 through the heart of the city, you could just take 410 around it. Adds about 10-15 miles (guesstimate, could be completely wrong) but then you really won't have to slow down ever.
But Texas has the largest cities I've ever seen, land wise. San Antonio was freaking HUGE, but harbored about a million people. The sprawl is insane compared to where I am (Chicago). Depending on luck and timing, you can have gridlock on Eastbound I88 up to Aurora from Chicago. That's about a 3 hour adventure to go about 30 miles. I90 and I94 can have you moving at a blistering average of 7 miles per hour on both sides (Indiana side and north side). I don't regularly travel I55, but when I do, it sucks - especially around Midway. I don't know how I57 works, but I doubt it's free of problems and I know I65 is no fun. I never once saw anything like this in Texas except on the 4th of July in Austin. I wish there were an easy solution to the mess, like just building a giant highway, but we don't have the luxury of giant stretches of clear land. Maybe this guy is accidentally smart and the future proofing this highway would setup would be good...
Wow, can you not travel past my original post to the parent and grandparent? The one who said "...so the deserve the death penalty..." I merely stated that these people died as an act of nature, not some "death penalty".
So in essence, you're a fucking moron. $10 says you wouldn't have the balls to act like such a bitch to my face, so what's the point of acting like one over the internet?
Never said I wasn't. But overanalyzing my statement makes you a prize retard. I never blamed anyone for anything. This is a disaster, it happened, people lived where it happened, they died, it happens.
Well, according to Suchetha, in post 11185178 - it seems like some agency or group was attempting to move them. I quote: "... refused all attempts to base them elsewhere." Maybe I misinterpreted, but I don't believe I did.

Yes. Once you're on the terminal, and if you have the proper rights to run this exploit, you got root.
