That's where the difference between a computer programmer and a software engineer comes in. You can call yourself the former after even a self-taught course or one of those 6-month technical schools, but it takes plenty of time, work, determination, etc to receive a software engineering degree.
because Valknut still kinda sucks)
I hear this on hubs all the time. Just out of curiousity, what's wrong with Valknut? I haven't gotten a straight answer from anybody yet, other than the fact that its interface is not like DC++'s.
I've gotten really comfortable with it and have worked out the little kinks, and I must say, I absolutely love it. I've booted into Windows once in a while and revved up DC++, and I can't find anything so great about it. Sure, the interface is different. but I'd go as far as saying that Valknut might even be more functional.
I'd just like to point out that not buying something because an ad told you to is just as illogical as buying something because an ad told you to.
No, not exactly. When I see an ad for a product, I know the company must have spent some portion of their budget to purchase the ad. Thus, if I were to buy their product, some portion of my money would go towards paying for ads, as opposed to that money going to other things such as buying better raw materials or paying their workers slightly more. I would rather the company do these things rather than pay for ads.
"The process is analogous to stretching a slingshot from Earth to the nearest star, our sun, thereby building up a huge amount of energy when released," Taleyarkhan said.
I sure hope their process can be done easier than their analogy!
Since it is 'Live action' though would be good to come up with a way to get away from the 'turn based' concept of the board game and move towards a more real-time based game.
Would also be interresting to incorporate clues as to mr. X's whereabouts instead of completely revealing the location.
Would also be good to reduce the person at HQ to one or two people who relay the clues to the detectives to alow more people to be out in the field.
Yee's final comment is strident: "Clearly the ESRB has a conflict of interest in rating these games, plain and simple, parents cannot trust the ESRB to rate games appropriately or the industry to look out for our children's best interests."
Gee, I've got an idea, maybe parents should look out for their children's best interests!
Ok, so what you're trying to say is that somehow, there exists a hypothetical slashdotter who in addition to being geeky and liking geeky movies, has enough time/motivation to read geeky books about aforementioned movies, yet was somehow able to gain a significant other?
Yes, that was true up to a few years ago. However, recently, they've moved to variable length network identifiers using CIDR, Classless Inter-domain Routing, precisely because of the ever so close shortage of IP address. This technique and NAT are to blame for the delay in getting IPv6 out there on a mass scale.
Of course, one of the redeeming properties of the movie is that Douglas Adams wrote the script himself, before he passed away.
Unless he personally wrote out the additional scripts, or at least laid out an extensive outline (plot/characters, etc), I don't think any more movies would be as successfull as the first, which couldn't really be considered a blockbuster per se.
And where does it say anything about MAME? Did you read the article?
This is a private company with full access to legit games and presumable game system internals, I am sure their code would not necessarily have to be based on MAME.
Wait, where was the article?
The linked page contained pretty much the same information as the blurb.
I think this is one of those times when RTFA won't help
The Spitzer Space Telescope (formerly SIRTF, the Space Infrared Telescope Facility) was launched into space by a Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on 25 August 2003. During its 2.5-year mission, Spitzer will obtain images and spectra by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in space between wavelengths of 3 and 180 microns (1 micron is one-millionth of a meter). Most of this infrared radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground.
Consisting of a 0.85-meter telescope and three cryogenically-cooled science instruments, Spitzer is the largest infrared telescope ever launched into space

The best part is that the company is trying to get the final versions out for $100. I doubt that it will end up that low, but I appreciate the effort

Step 1) Figure out how to get clock to stop blinking 12AM
Step 2) ???
Step 3) Profit!

Blasphemy!

Sure, see it here, now
As an exception, the kpilotDaemon does polling. it listens regularly until the device initiates hotsync, then procedes to sync when it gets something.
My USB Sony Clie SJ-20 works with the several versions of Mandrake [Mandriva, whatever] and SuSE that I've used it with, with both jpilot and kpilot.

And just recently, when Adobe aquired Macromedia, slashdotters everywhere had to ask: why?
One of Adobe's flagship products (bonus points for naming the other), will now be directly threatened by M$, and so it must do its best and diversify.
Man, 4 comments and already slashdotted. I gotta click faster next time; maybe I'll do mouse-clicking exercises, 1 2 1 2 1 2...

Is anyone else interested in the techical specifications of the Spitzer? I hadn't heard of it till today...
