The artefacts on digital terrestrial, viz. Freeview in the UK, seem to be particularly bad with grass pitches and crowds (focus pulls are also a problem). This spoils my enjoyment of the highlights programmes of football and cricket, and I don't watch very much else. I can't justify the cost of HD/satellite/cable, because I only watch a very few hours a week as it is. Even so, live HD football at the pub has the same problems to a lesser extent. With analogue TV, I get ghosting on some channels, which is also very noticable on a grass pitch. C'est la vie.
That said, I'd rather LaTeX used single/double spaces to tell whether or not it's a sentence end, because then I wouldn't have to go back and put backslashes in front of all the spaces where it made a mistake. LaTeX is perfectly happy to have me type various numbers of hyphens to get the right sort of dash, but tries to be too clever for its own good when it comes to sentence spacing.
Does it matter? If you start off with beer which wouldn't make you go blind, then remove some of the water, there isn't going to be more methanol in it than you started off with.
So why don't they ban books on takeoff and landing? Someone reading a book is just as distracted as someone using a computer (though less distracted than listening to music), and if it's a hardback it's just as dangerous a potential projectile.
To offer some perspective, here in the UK we have monthly limits that are most commonly in the 15-30Gb range, with a premium limit of 50Gb being offered by a minority of service providers.
I'm in the UK, pay £16 a month, and get an 80GB limit. Overnight usage doesn't count to that total, so I can set a large download going before going to sleep.
Yes, but while I like the PDFs to open in a separate window, I don't like being left with a pointless tab showing a blank page, which seems to happen quite often (but not all the time) on Chrome.
They depicted Muhammed in Super Best Friends in season 5 (which is what your screengrab shows). In season 10's Cartoon Wars (which is about the fictional controversy of depicting him in Family Guy) he appears covered by a black censorship screen.
I've been wondering if one can beat the average speed cameras that enforce 50 mph on motorway roadworks (which take photos from the front of the car) by tailgating an HGV extremely close as you pass them. I can't see Top Gear trying that though because it's probably both feasible and ridiculously dangerous.
So many posts bragging about being able to do a million different things at once. I don't think I can do two things at once. Once I get going I need a hardware interrupt to stop me. Usually it's the "desperately need to piss" interrupt.
They adjust brake bias on the straights. The straight at the current Grand Prix at Shanghai is so long they'd have time to swap CDs if they only had a stereo in the car.
Yeah, I thought online poker would appeal more to the Slashdot crowd too. The main poker site is the Two Plus Two forums, and there's a lot of good strategy advice to be found amongst a fair amount of childish rants.
I play micro-stakes cash games. Last night I played 1000 hands and lost six buy-ins, but I think I played reasonably well nonetheless. Statistics backs me up as I turned a small profit according to "all-in expected value" (a calculation that removes the luck factor from hands where all the chips went in with cards still to come). It's just a bit annoying as I was hoping to move up stakes soon, and it will probably take me several thousand hands longer now.
I didn't know the taxpayer funded homoeopathy (since this is an article about the UK, I'm bloody well using the British spelling). When and by whom was this started?
But that's because sales tax is really complicated in the USA. In the EU there's only VAT (the rates vary between the countries, but it's one tax at one rate within each country). You can't get out of paying it just by buying online.
Yup. And the guy who put the spikes in the road was crazy lucky. Even clearly marked booby traps are against the law pretty much across the US, and if the guy riding the 4-wheeler fell on a spike and was injured or killed, the owner could expect some fun jail time as well as a most excellent lawsuit.
What's the legality of the "severe tire damage" spikes you have in car parks to stop people going the wrong way?
Don't think that's quite right. As I said in my other reply, I had to look up CWD in the Instruction Set Reference:
The CWD instruction copies the sign (bit 15) of the value in the AX register into every bit position in the DX register.
So this means if AX was originally positive, nothing happens, and if AX was originally negative the XOR flips the bits of AX, then the SUB subtracts minus one from it (which is the same as adding one). This is the same as the two's complement unary minus operation. So the snippet computes the absolute value of AX, and stores the result in AX.
WPA2 can't be cracked other than by brute force. The only problem is you only need to capture a successful handshake, and you can do the rest offline. Just make sure there's enough entropy in your passphrase.
Assignment followed by Unary Plus. Tokenization is greedy and left-to-right. The precedence rules may take a bit of thinking, but tokenization is pretty simple.

You need to hold a gun to his head and have a girl suck him off to get the best results.
That was two days ago. Give us some pancake science!

That's a bit cruel. I had to look up CWD, but I presume there's not much need for it or it's CDQ/CQO brethren since the 16-bit days.

There isn't enough room on the screen for all the icons in a complex program to be written out in English.
I don't think H.264 is patented in the UK. Why can't we have a version of Firefox that supports it?
SLIME is for developing in Common Lisp. Emacs is written in its own Lisp dialect (called Emacs Lisp).
If you want a more IDE-like environment in Emacs, have a look at CEDET and ECB.
The closest thing to screen for X11 that I know about: xpra. A bit rough around the edges, but usable.
