Consider the prism apprach in particular. How much more is it going to cost to cool the office in the summer? How much more to heat in the winter? Plus how good is it going to be for light in the winter period if the winters are darker and cloudy.
There will not be a shutdown this year. Shut downs happen once every year or two. They tend to last about a month. Linac and booster come back up sooner. Shutdowns are a VERY busy time when everyone is scrambling to repair and prepare for the next run.
Yeah comcast broke a section of my fence when putting in cable a few years back. They did not put the cable in the right of way, it was to cross a stream in the backyard for a neighbor.
When I called about them fixing it they told me it was not them that did it but a contractor that buries the cable and gave me a phone number to call. I called the number and it was disconnected.
I just had to fix the fence myself, it was PVC so I have a few lengths spare, but at the time it really bugged me.
And on Apple/FreeBSD/Linux as well. Just make sure you get one that does pcl or postscript and has an ethernet jack. Plug it in to a switch port and off you go. Need to do something fancy, point your web browser at the embedded server.
Oh and on the Mac and Linux, the HP printer does bonjour so it just automatically works.
On Windows I had to install hundreds of megabytes of crapware from HP because the network print spooler included in XP was even more craptastic than the HP software.
I went, with my kids. If there is anything wrong it is a little long for kids. My oldest son had to "go pee so badly" but he just would not leave the theater because the movies was "so awesome." For me any film that makes me feel like I am 8 years old again is a good one. This morning my youngest son called me at work and basically his whole conversation was about the movie and how he was playing with little cars, one of which his older brother painted to look like the #5 car. With all the bvroom-brvooms over the phone I realized what a great movie that was. It is a family movie like no other before.
Except it does not work too well for Apple as well. I had a 6500 a long time back and eventually with some OS 8.x the built-in sub woofer and various audio outs stopped working right. It all just started working like in every other computer, plug something in and everything else goes silent. For a while I was able to copy back older versions of certain files but even that stopped working. So they did not test this in QA.
Recently the WOMP (wake on lan) stopped working reliably on my eMac with the install of Leopard. It works fine when I boot 10.4. Again Apple QA did not catch this.
With an old iMac, I stopped having the ability to watch DVDs when I went to OS X. I ended-up selling that one because of that issue alone.
With my G3 iBook, I was unable to burn CDs after an upgrade. Then suddenly after another software update, the feature came back.
So basically Apple stops being very careful with the older hardware and you see issues like this eventually somewhere in the 3-5 years range.
Maybe you do not know how/. used to be like, but very rarely should the person that created the 'article' be the one who submits it. Slashdot should work where 'news for nerds, stuff that matters' is 'discovered' and then posted. There was another recent article (rather video) that made the front page which you accepted and it was of questionable interest as well.
All the "non-religious" explanations of the origin of the universe start out with the universe already here.
Not all, for example the notion of a multiverse but that is getting to the point where it is not testable. I personally like the notion that there was nothing before since that instant was at t=0. Hard to have a time before the universe was created and time started.
The real answer is that we will probably never be able to test any hypothesis for anything before our universe was created. Science is all about creating and testing hypothesis, so yeah there never really will be 'non-religious' explanation.
Incidentally if you say a deity created everything, then the natural question is what created the deity and you get to the whole tortoises standing on the shells of tortoises issue.
The reason that they do not do this is that then they would need more of the heavy heat shielding for the now larger combined crew and reentry modules.
This is 'the right' way to bride a Chicago cop. In IL they take your DL as bond. You offer to pay the ticket at the police station saying you will follow the officer to the Police station to pay. If the officer is the kind that takes bribes he will accept. You will drive off for a bit and then he will stop and approach your car. And you hand him $40. A cop that will not take a bribe will not be willing to do the dance.
I second the Siemens modem and WRT54G AP. My subscription to AT&T came with a Siemens modem. It had really bad firmware on it. It would drop the connection all the time needing a reset. I flashed it with the newest firmware from Siemens and it has been rock solid since.
I got the WRT54G before there was an L edition. I have been running HypreWRT thiobor on it, but that project seems to have disappeared so I may need to go to OpenWRT at some point.
My folks have a 2Wire, I'll have to be on the look-out for a security update. I wonder if you can still get the Siemens modems from AT&T/SBC? I would recommend it if anyone can.
It's clear the driver needed to make a u-turn in the driveway. There should be an on-off button for the picture taking precisely for this. There should have been no pictures taken from the dirveway.
Frankly I am more concerned about all the info available in other ways. When I was looking into buying a distressed home from someone trying to flip it, I found the social security numbers in mortgage papers online with the county. They just scanned them and put them online. When we bought a different house, I made sure that lots of stuff was blacked-out before it was duplicated.
Well in WWDC 2006 they had sessions about how to port your apps for 64-bit Carbon. I decided to go with it for a new mac project at that time. The reason was simple, at the time it was a linux/windows app that was written in mostly C++ and I did not want to bother with a bunch of obj-C glue code. I simply could put the Carbon calls into the C++ classes. I'm still okay, 32-bit carbon is still around, but yeah now I have been working on those icky little.m files.
Had she registered to vote at the DMV, the first time she actually tried to vote they would ask for proof. This is how it works in IL. The DMV (here in IL the Secretary of State) is not allowed to examine most of these forms, regardlessly you will be marked in the role as needing to show proof when you go to the poll. Alternatively you can register to vote at the county clerks office and show proof of eligibility to vote and then the first time you vote you only need to sign. My wife did the first method, I the second.
"no interpreted code may be downloaded and used in an Application except for code that is interpreted and run by Apple's Published APIs and built-in interpreter(s)."
It's silly how so many comments are strange analogies to this, but I gave a weird true story of how I almost got into a lot of trouble for going to the wrong gym.
I signed-up for a morning exercise program with the park district was was held inthe high school. It was a weights and stationary cycles type of thing. The first day that I got there I went in the 'other' door into the gym and saw an exercise room with a lot of people my age working-out in there so I went in and got into it. Later the burly high school wrestling coach came in an put me in a hold and started yelling at me. Luckily when I could breathe I started talking about my wrestling coaches that I had in nearby schools and he let go of me. Then I explained my situation and he led me to another room where the program was on the other side of the main gym. It turned-out that this room was used by the coaches and teacher in the morning before work.
He was always really nice to me after that, and we talked a bunch of times after that about wrestling from 'back then'.
I used to develop software for Palm as well, back in the days around the Vizor. I used free compilers that I ran on FreeBSD and the emulators were free at that point as well. What I wrote I released under the GPL and BSD licenses so I never had to deal with distributors.
tamarin is only the ActionScript virtual machine. That is a part of Flash, not the whole. The nice thing about it is that it is a Just In Time (JIT) VM. In Mozilla it will be used for the javascript.
It's not a design flaw. There are a bunch of registers, some specific to the controller and others are a part of the spec, that allow various ways to protect memory. You could make it so that all DMA just used a particular range of addresses but nobody really thought this was a threat so these registers are set to not filter anything and make the ranges as large a part of the address space as possible.
I still have the 19 inch one my parents bought in 1981. It was the second 'new' thing my parents bought in the USA. Everything is phenomenal about it, not just the picture. My wife's aunt bought us a new RCA TV with a remote for the bedroom and it is miles worse in terms of picture quality.
The Sony survived tow falls, one off of the back of a moving truck and another being kicked by a friend as it was falling to try and prevent it from hitting the ground while being carried up stairs. The sound and the tuner were great as well. Nothing fancy like a remote or stereo, just it was great at picking-up distant stations and there was no hiss or cracking in the audio. Too bad about the coming digital, it feels like it has 50 pounds of lead in the screen.
Yeah the quality change from the PPC to Intel transition has been night and day. The Intel ones have been MUCH BETTER than their PPC counterparts. We got a bunch of the first version of the G5 iMacs and they had multiple problems. After replacing parts in all of them, Apple eventually simply replaced them all with rev 1.2. Every single iBook G3 to G4 from about 700 MHz on up failed here within it's first 18 months. There was an extended warrantee given on most of them. The MacBooks on the other hand have been almost trouble free. Count your blessings with the G5s, we have just run into a spate of failing SMU or PMUs.

People you are suggesting things like python, Java, OpenOffice, various SQL. What would Dennis M. Ritchie or W. Richard Stevens think?
To add a record:
cat >>db.txt
man cut
man paste
Then SELECT becomes grep or awk 1-liners piped into a cut command.
And on Apple/FreeBSD/Linux as well. Just make sure you get one that does pcl or postscript and has an ethernet jack. Plug it in to a switch port and off you go. Need to do something fancy, point your web browser at the embedded server.

Compare the difference between the street view and the picture from the road at the county assessors.

No I did not, my jaw just dropped, how could I have missed this!? man gcc explains a lot. Do you know when Apple added Objective-C++? Thanks
