>I am 15 and learning disabled because of a serious heart condition. I am having a difficult time in school.
Could someone with medical training let me know how a heart condition affects your ability to learn? Unless it's either not pumping enough blood to the brain now or didn't pump enough blood to the brain early in life.
My guesses: Easily fatigued, less energy, sleeps more then usual. Requirement to get up and move on a regular basis slowing productiveness. Risk of passing out regularly. Regular visits to the hospital due to emergencies small and large which take out a good chunk of time for learning.
Implying the author is brain damaged is not exactly a classy move, especially since (s)he is likely reading this. And it doesn't really relate to the question either.
It's a program that comes with Windows XP. It'll conveniently list all of the things you run at startup from all of the various locations they could be poked in. Look at them. See if they look suspicious. Something called winprocessor_update.exe? Or windowsup.exe? Or anything that claims to be Windows Update?
Many people I've helped out had issues because they didn't keep up to date with Windows Update. When they finally updates, they were already infected. Most commonly, I find people with SDBot variants. Unfortunately, the variants are coming out faster than Norton or Symantec are detecting them. The key is to have been smart a year ago and installed Windows critical patches when they came out.
I'm afraid you're doing what most users do. You're relaying the error message you thought you saw, and not the actual error message.
USB has negotiation built into it. Initially, a device gets a small amount of power, then it negotiates for more. If it requires more power than is available on the hub, it won't get it. The hub inside standard Mac keyboards doesn't have much power, so some flash drives won't work on it. I've used flash drives that worked on a mac keyboard and some that don't.
So your argument is partially correct. Some flash drives will not work on the hub in mac keyboards or potentially any other unpowered or overloaded hub. But this really is a problem with your drive, and not the USB standard.
I think you misread the grandparent. My impression was that he was about to mod the great grandparent up, but then saw the sig. He decided to respond instead of mod because he thought that the sig meritted a dialog. Obviously, the original poster had been up modded now anyhow.
Generally speaking, a Chapter 7 is forced by the creditors. The creditors who don't think the company will make it petition the court. The petitioning parties are most likely to receive money, along with those with preferred stock, if it's publicly held. Regardless, you'd send a petition to the court at this point, if you haven't already. The court will attempt to equitably divide the remaining assets, and potentially recover assets paid recently to creditors, so that a company doesn't pay off its chummy buddies, then go into bankrupcy with a pittance to pay off everyone else.
You're at least partially correct. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has a page on it. The $15,000 fee is intended to reduce the number of application to a reasonable number. The fee goes to a 503(c) non-profit. And application does not equal success. As near as I can tell, though a star added does not equal one old star removed. As such, the Walk of Fame must endlessly grow. Therefore, a selection process must be fairly careful, or they'd run out of sidewalk. Soon the skids would be overrun with stars no one would be brave enough to visit at night.
From the Chamber of Commerce site:
Nomination of an individual or group does not automatically equate to approval of a star in the Walk of Fame. Several hundred applications are reviewed annually, from which an undetermined number is selected.
So, console video games are distributed in hardware only form, yes? ROMs in fact, for the NES, SNES, Genesis, and many other early game consoles. But they're all emulated today. Further, it would seem that at least in development, some form of rapid prototyping would be necessary to prevent massive wastes of hardware. As such, this only seems to be a method of adding a great deal of complication which is unncessary. Some software today already require hardware dongles. How effective those are I haven't really researched. But they are apparently a pain in the butt enough to cause one of the few exceptions to the DMCA.
I'm not sure what use you think this is going to give people. All of Slashdot's subdomains all pass through one load balancer. If you go to warez.slashdot.org, 3dwww.slashdot.org, or plain old slashdot.org, the physical server you get directed to is based on distributed load on all of Slashdot.

It's amazing how many complaints people have about their favorite shells and editors which are actually already accounted for. One just needs to take the time to read the documentation once.
I'm no expert on cooling, but I've gotten the impression in the past that one of the large problems with freezers is that when something is taken out of them, water tends to condense on them. They would have to make sure the freezer temperature didn't drop below the dew point, I suppose, to be safe.
I, person you should listen to because I am confident, have made strong decision regarding Company which took vague actions and failed to take other vague actions. As such, you should make same strong decisions.
Please do not ask for references, being as I am so confident, you should clearly listen to and emulate me. Otherwise, what purpose would there be in my posting?
It's quite possible that this bug for Firefox 0.9 is the same problem. The one I linked to refers to OS X, but it appears to be the same thing -- something with the overlay. It's a known bug, but not the purview of the Mozilla project. But, oddly, the bug that is linked from there (a duplicate), claims to have been resolved as well. So perhaps it has been fixed.
Well, how about this: A lot of black people can trace their ancenstry to Niger, so no one should have an issue if you were to call a black man a...
That should give you an idea of the relative severity of this term.
And let's realize that, in the case of Buddhism, Buddha is both a specific person, and a person in general. A Buddhist would wish (or is that "would not wish"?) to become a Buddha. A Muslim does not strive to become Mohammed.
FYI, 'Mohammedan' is a potentially offensive term. It implies that the followers of Islam worship Mohammed, just as Christians worship Christ. Moslems worship Allah; Mohammed is His prophet.
Granted, there are those who would argue your callous word choice was the least offensive portion of your post.
Your link is valid and on topic, but a suggestion: Add more commentary. As you likely well know, some on Slashdot get their jollies by posting poorly commented or seemingly compelling links which ultimately lead to shock sites. Your post looks a tad like one of those sort of evil posts. Also, you failed to hotlink (http://cyberedge.com/3.html) which is very important for those of us who are quite lazy.
But he's leaving now. Any "up-to-date" is already gone.
The best way to have valuable knowledge is to gather it continuously and write it down in a consistent format. This way you both have documentation for your successor when you leave with advanced notice, and when you leave due to the 26 Speed Bus to Downtown doesn't notice you crossing the intersection. Not to rag on the good intentions of the original poster of this article, but isn't this a little late to start documenting?
Perhaps leaving a consistent documentation system to start from might be one of the most valuable assets he can leave the company -- for the gal after the guy after him.
But I have an external Sportster 28.8 that I've been using for, oh, 6 years now. It hooks up to a comm port and speaks ASCII. Granted, I need a comm driver that's just smart enough to do proper handshaking (and perferably hardware flow control) unless I wish to do a little soldering. But aside from that, ATZ, ATS0=55, ATDT5551010. It all works nicely and requires no drivers. Of course, I use {Commo} most of the time to talk to it, so this isn't terribly on topic either way.
You can still take advantage of the '++' in C++. Sometimes the slower execution of using cout instead of printf() is due to cin and cout being tied. If I/O has to be done in a tight loop, it should go to a buffered, untied stream or be written to a string first. Stringstreams are useful things.
It's important to know your language.
Then again, why would you ever have a huge amount of console I/O in a tight loop? Oh, what was that? 'Artificial benchmarks'? And I thought this was supposed to be meaningful.

Ok, so I was imagining a lizard viewed from above, crawling on its back, like in this article. But I was curious what it actually looked like. Turns out, the name was actually due in large part to a political cartoon. Pretty stuff, but wouldn't look like a salamander to me without the generous addition of artwork.

On July 9th of last year, Penny Arcade predicted this, perhaps in not as many words. And, they had the good class to make a cat catapult while they were at it. Is there anything Tycho and Gabe can't do?
