I wouls also say acceleration is very good for avoiding accidents. If you're in the path of an incoming vehicle, you don't want to hit the brakes like everyone does, you want to slam the gas. Even if you hit something in front of you, as long as it isn't an oncoming car, the accident will be far less life threatening.
My point was just that it isn't a standard. Since you can't count on any random ATX power supply in the field to have that feature, you just have to make sure the main power is off (any way you want to do it, I usually just yank the main molex connector from the motherboard) before you dick around with the motherboard. The switch is just a nice addition.
You can do MAC Address filtering. You would have to write some custom scripts probably, but you could check to see that the MAC address form the laptop is a known laptop address, and disallow it access until it was scanned by the network virus scanner. An internal firewall for just laptops would need to be set up too, all in all, probably too much work...
One of mine does, but that's exactly like pulling the plug (aside from the physical action of removing the plug). You lose some settings if you do that on some BIOSes, and that wasn't the way ATX was designed anyhow. The motherboard of an ATX computer is 'technically' always live, barring an open power circuit (like the rocker switch or the removal of the plug).
All ATX power supplies have a continuous power output, that button you use to turn the computer on isn't a toggle, it's a microswitch, and goes through the mobo. The current is very small, but it can take care of a motherboard in short order if you cross the traces.
Grow up.
Truth be told, you are technically a glutton: you eat for recreation rather than to survive, you kill for your pleasure. Not a personal attack but rather a statement of fact.
Also self-deifying as you are pretty much giving yourself god-like qualities by asserting that your way is the only way. I'm tired of your blatant disregard for any ideas but your own. You probably think you are some sort of superman because you are marginally more intelligent than your peers, well sorry to burst your bubble but you aren't.
Next, that you are trying to tell people that a solid conscious choice that they have made to better themselves, is wrong via a Public Forum that is more intended for "News for Nerds, Stuff that Matters." The only reason I replied is because your comment was unnecessary and offensive.
If this is so important to you, you should really learn how to write a coherent argument that didn't take you 5 minutes to concoct because you think I'm trying to make fun of you.
Maddox did not sum it up perfectly because there are BILLIONS of people who think the exact opposite way as you and him. One guy's website on why he thinks eating meat is a great idea means absolutely nothing to me plus a hell of a lot of other people. His arguments only defeat mine when you disregard any sort of higher-consciousness, which is outright retarded.
And yes, your example did sound "pretty fucking stupid", because you don't quite grasp the process of reincarnation. It's not just some random number generator in the sky.
All in all, you are hopeless, have a good day and do not anticipate a response from me unless you stop touting your "Maddox said" this and "Veggie people do" that.
Do not attack what you do not know. "Don't purport to..." is a figure of speech. And the definition of purport doesn't contain the word pretend:
1 - To have or present the often false appearance of being or intending; profess (I will concede here that it does have similarities to pretending but only "often", but onward to definition 2).
2 - To have the intention of doing; purpose (here we have the "intention of doing" or what you DID do, by telling someone what to eat).
To continue: You are replacing accident (the combine killing field mice on ACCIDENT) with intent (someone goes and INTENTIONALLY kills a cow so that you can eat (a small part of, I might add) it). Now it is none of my business that you eat animals; preferrably animals would receive the same treatment as humans, I just don't see that happening in my lifetime.
But don't be a jerk to people who want to minimize the suffering of other life (To quote: "Veggie people may draw [the line] at bacteria", give me a fucking break. Do you realize how uneducated you sound saying that? You are assuming far more than you realize there). It isn't about making every form of life immortal by any means, but you don't have to murder to eat, so then why do it? Because there are predators and they can, so why not you?
Yeah, well, you must not belive you are much more spiritually/mentally advanced than they are too.
Also, you cannot say what is right or wrong; how long have you soul-searched? Have you spent time even thinking about what is right or wrong? Or do you just eat meat and think it's right because your parents fed it to you and they must be right? It seems you have not grasped the concept that there may be more out there than just the life you lead, here and now.
What if YOU'RE wrong and it ISN'T ok to eat animals? Then what? Maybe you will reincarnate as some sort of lower carnivore, to fulfill your gluttonous lifestyle that you so desire...
Or maybe we're both wrong and we should start eating humans. Why is that so much different than cows? Becaues we have personalities? I'm sure cows do to. Meat is meat, so what arbitrary line have you defined to justify eating cows and not humans? Because it's illegal? Please...
I draw the line at what is necessary. Beef is nowhere near as healthy or nutritive as soy, weight for weight. It also requires a shit load of resources to feed ONE cow, compared to soy/corn/you name it. And I doubt one cow can feed more than 3-4 people for more than a day or so on it's own (with small rations).
I never like telling anyone what to do, and you are right, I should not tell you what to do, but the ignorance of your post needed to be addressed. You were incorrect (or perhaps misguided is a better term) in your response and I took offence to it. Only take this as an opportunity to better yourself, I actually hope you will see that it is unnecessary to kill another being to do something as simple as eat. I will feel much better if that is the case than if you just respond in an even more inflamatory manner. Please take the time to read and process what I say, instead of burning through it and finding small flaws and trying to personally attack me on them. I spent a good amount of time presenting myself in a non-inflammatory manner, if you expect my end of the converstion to continue, you should do the same.
And no, I'm not some unrealistic greenpeace hippie moron, I just respect life and I care more for the well-being of other animals than I do for my convenience. I will not eat animals because some self-deifying fool on Slashdot says it's ok.
I think it's a bad design too, but I believe you can change the shell executable to whatever you want, so if you made your own shell, you could put it in Explorer's place. I realize that this isn't probably "allowed" but the OS will still run without it. In fact, if you hate explorer, you can run everything from Task Manager, just kill explorer's process, then run the programs you want from File->Run. IE may not work after you do that though:)
I know that, I mean that they should directly operate only a RISC-like architecture, then force the less used opcodes into microcode, basically using the RISC architecture to run the other opcodes.
Like we all know Enter is
push ebp
mov ebp, esp
So then let's say push and mov are both opcodes directly run, when the processor encounters Enter the decode unit will break it down into its RISC equivalent for the execution unit.
I said this same thing a while ago, but instead of dropping the useless instructions for an emulator, (and correct me if they already do this), but put the shit like AAA (ASCII Adjust after Addition) or Enter, that no one uses and put those into an execution unit that executes a small program using the standard ops (like MOV, LEA, etc...) to create the effect of those less useful opcodes. That way the more commonly used opcodes are executed faster (as they don't have to be broken down into sub-programs), and backwards compatibility is retained (albeit at a price).
Just because it's older doesn't mean they have to concoct the streets as retardedly as they did. New York is very old and the streets are anything but insane. And as the original poster said New Orleans, which isn't that much younger, has a very easy grid pattern to become accostumed to. Boston was just designed poorly, like an odd game of pick-up sitcks determined the map.
Or Chicago and Boston. Those are probably better examples.
All 35x20 miles of Chicago is a giant grid, you cannot get lost, all lighted intersections have numbers letting you know what direction you are travelling in (based on the street number of the cross-street).
Boston, on the other hand, is a slopped together mess, granted it has been around a lot longer then Chicago, but still, the big dig isn't gonna help shit, if you get off of Mass Ave and are new there you are screwed. I had never seen a street dead end into 3 one ways all coming to the same place until I started driving around Boston.
There's a difference between collateral death and purposeful death. There is flawed logic at work here, it should be painfully obvious. Just because something dies from the GATHERING of food, does not mean you can make the jump to "it's now ok to bash a cow on the head and feast on the goo inside, since something has to die anyhow."
Eat what you will, but don't purport to tell anyone else what to do.
Mods, come on, mod this thing into oblivion, no one deserves their information posted on the internet like this. The ump called no interference and regardless, I doubt it made the difference in the Cubs losing.
An easy way to make sure people understand the difference is to take the root word of each "theist" and "gnostic".
then have them look those up in the dictionary.
Theist == Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world.
Gnostic == Of, relating to, or possessing intellectual or spiritual knowledge
That way Gnostic and Theist are very different looking, as opposed to Atheist and Agnostic, which look so similar that they can be confused. As you can see, Agnostic would be anti-possesing spiritual knowledge. Meaning we can never truly hav eall the knowledge of a divine source.
Atheist would be the non-belief in a god.
Sounds a lot like the "Cell" architecture that the next PlayStation will have. IIRC they wanted an order of magnitude or two speed increase before releasing it.
You're generalizing what he said. It's all about the experiences you have as an employee that really taint your view on management, or give it a boost. Perhaps you have had good managers. I, most definitely, have not. From the tech manager who attempted his own repairs of CUSTOMER MACHINES and caused over $1,000 in damage before we made sure he never did that again, to the HR guy who was the boss's brother (the boss was smart though, which is why he was my favorite, he had a good head on his shoulders and he knew when to listen and when to give suggestions) and only got the job through his blood-line and proceeded to fuck that place up royally, I have seen many bad managers. I would say that the lion's share of management is not up to par with getting their job done properly. The same could be said of IT as well.
And you're right, having social skills is huge in the private sector. But as the great-great-grandparent (or wherever this started) said "That's why I like research" (or something similar to that), maybe he doesn't give a shit about people. That's fine, leave him to his work. I don't like a lot of people because they are false. I play their games because at the end of the day, I have to eat. But that's just me.
Parsec man, Parsec...
I just bought one from a Goodwill for $12.99. I have no idea if it works (it looks like it does), but since I have no TV it's hard to tell.
Heads not parking, not flushing the write buffer, whatever... Same effect, and not allowing the heads to park won't wreck the disk, just the data under the head.
I have mod points, but won't use them because you are making an ass of yourself. It could be said that you are the weenie, and are just trying to start trouble for some odd reason.
First, in both posts I have looked at of yours, I noticed the use of the word "dummy". I doubt that either parties you are arguing with are dumb, let alone wrong in this instance. Calling someone a dummy because you made a mistake does not make your point any more valid.
Also, a kernel is not an operating system. Let's see you run just vmlinuz by itself. Or just load Kernel32.exe into RAM and see what happens. An operating system has a far broader reach than just the core (kernel) subroutines.
Next, I've seen Windows 2000 Adv Server corrupt it's permissions so badly that the only recourse was to reinstall the OS.
Finally, Windows 98SE had a similar bug where it shut down too quickly without allowing the heads to park and would ultimately self corrupt. I have a similar problem in Windows XP with my RAID system, I doubt I am wrong about why it happens.
Face it, you are defending an operating system, of all things, for reasons that aren't even valid, and getting all heated up for no good cause.
I definitely understand the reasoning behind denying ICMP, but they other services they deny are amazing. He cannot receive incoming port requests, nor can he send data on most "service" ports. It's just a little if not a lot overzealous to me.
