Lovely place, I lived there for about a year as a kid, nice sea air, lots of slugs and lots of rain. It was better then where I am at now. Dull boring western wisconsin, where on a good day you can only have a faint scent of manure. I should get a segway and cruise on out of this joint.
Very good point, they do mention in the article about the potential of the virus getting out of hand and they do mention in the story " One fear is that the immune system will recognize them and either overreact, causing illness, or kill the virus before it can do any good." Also they mention the potential for mutating. That I think really is a major concern . If the virus could mutate and start attacking normal cells it could become our own epidemic. Someone above commented that they wondered if China has been working on something like this and that is how SARS came about. Kinda scary.
I'm not taking a defeatest attitude. I think that using viruses for medical purposes like this and gene therapy are our future. I'm just saying that it will take time for us to further our understanding of how to build and modify viruses and our technological advancement of tools to do just that. One day in the not too distant future I believe we will have a virus programming language of sorts(like the one previously mentioned on slashdot). Where scientists can write down what they want the virus to do and hopefully find a way to build in a self-destruct sequence to help prevent it from spreading
Grow up? how about not posting as an AC? Talk about cowardly. Why should you be afraid to reveal who you really are?
I just felt like I should show people how lucky I am to have her. Give a visual aid to whom I was talking about. She's the light of my world. She is a guys dream girl in more ways then one. Also a shameless plug to get some hits on my site;)
I'm not trying to prove manhood at all. If you knew the full story...
Lighten up a bit. It was a serious topic and some levity was needed. Dont you think it's better to have something good to look at when discussing dark topics?
My girlfriends uncle has glioma and it also runs in her family. Her mother is in remission and her aunt survived it. My gf and I are also starting to get worried, she's been seeing signs(one eye totally losing sight for a few hours, seeing lights and headaches) that something may be wrong. She's going in for a MRI once her HMO approves it. We are hoping this treatment becomes available in the near future, but most likely it will be too late for her Uncle. He's been given till november at the latest.
I feel really lucky to have the only thing passed down in my family is a beer belly, no cancer on either side of my family. All strong heathly polish-americans people. My great grandma died last august at the age of 99 and my other great grandma is 95.
Probably cause there is no second season. There are 6 episodes that were never released before Nick cancelled it. We all wait for them to be shown in some medium, ripped and posted on the net.
I've been using Dreamweaver since 2.0 and I dont understand why people think it' creates bloated code? It's HTML as simple as you can get. It's javascript is rather bloated but you dont have to use that at all. I write my own javascript and just use those snippets. MX is highly customizable and very powerful. I use it everyday for my job. I've yet to find something that can replace it. I do alot of hand coding in it too and I do know quite a bit.
Well I've been using Dreamweaver since 2.0 and it does almost everything I need it to do and most of the time if it cant I can get it to with some xml editing and extension building. The Syntax highlighting is enough for me and yes it would be nice to have a tighter PHP integration but it wasn't designed to do that in the first place(they gotta try to push their crappy cold fusion). I do use Zend's PHP IDE also to do some more advanced PHP coding. Most of the time I dont need to do advanced coding when I'm designing sites for people. Just throw in some code to handle databases and logins and that's about it. Mostly I use dreameaver for the HTML creation.
Another reason I like it is because I got it for free. My company buys it for me. Compared to Frontpage and GoLive there is no choice to me.
To each their own. I just dont think Dreamweaver is at all bad. It's got some faults but no program is perfect.
:p
yeah, I messed it up. English used to be one of my strong points and now that most of what I do is programming and chatting in IRC it seems to be slipping from me. I really have to get some time to start reading again and rediscover this language that I use daily.
Dreamweaver is a great program and I have been able to get good HTML done fast. Have you even tried MX?
The reason I want it to run is that it's the only reason I still use windows. My development time for webpages has halved since I started using MX. It's easily customizable and I was able to add alot more PHP support.
I write my own javascript thank you very much. Ya know you dont have to use any of Dreamweaver's built in Javascript and that you can overwrite it with your own functions. It's really not that hard.
Guess I was in too much of a hurry and didn't even notice I bungled the links.
here are the right ones

MIDI -- gotta spend a bit now
on
Legacy-Free PCs
·
· Score: 1
Well my only problem with legacy free is no more old game port for MIDI purposes. Nowadays ya gotta buy a USB based MIDI unit that costs more then a bit more then the old gameport to midi cables. I play keyboards in a band and use Acid Music Pro 4 to control the keyboards from a laptop. Works rather nice. It just sux for most of the half starving musicians to have to put alot of money into what used to be really cheap. I'm at the moment saving up to get a USB based one just so I can upgrade my laptop to a modern set up.
I wouldn't be surprised that down the road some major car manufacturers start using this open source code for onboard computer systems. It would save them money, help create a standard for onboard computers and probably bring about a new revolution in the modern society(ok, a bit of hyperbole).
Dunno, never thought about it. Damn thing is way up high ontop of a silo. My work is in a barn that has been converted into an office building. Really interesting but we are miles from civilization. I'll mention the idea to the boss.
We have Starband here at work. I hate it. Ping times average around 1.5 seconds. It is hell to work in SSH or even FTP anything. Things time-out all the time and it disconnects if a bird lands on the dish. As soon as we can get DSL we are switching. I don't even use it anymore. I forced them to get a dial up account so I can do my work. I was spending a 3rd of my time waiting for things to upload. I pick dial-up any day over sattelite.
The only thing that I use windows for is Macromedia Studio MX, primarily Dreamweaver and Flash. Once they run better on wine/crossover office I will be a full convert. I can't wait till then. I have done what I can to contribute to wine to make it happen.
American Head Charge and Smilin Liar do it for me.
My longest session is only a lowly 16 hours. I value my sleep when I can get it. It has been proven over and over again that even small naps can help you tackle problems and keep you code a wee bit neater.
I was driving my friend home in eastern minnesoata after a concert and saw it streaking down the sky. I have been wondering what it could have been to set off that blue color. Well at least now I know I am not crazy and did see it.
My HS chem teacher does that for the 4th of July at his cabin. He was the kind of teacher that did any experiment that made something blow up. Now he is in college again to become a pharmacist. I am very afraid for the world now.
Squaresoft Not in it.

High Score
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
I have had the book since it first came out. The one big thing I noticed was that SquareSoft was not in it at their request. Square being one of the main reasons the Playstation succeeded, yet not wanting to be including in a book about gaming history. They are,to me, one of the most influental gaming software comapanies.
We are having tons of problems up here. I had to do some driving around with floppy disks to get needed files today from some of our remote people. I guess I can't complain. Got out of the office and sped around the countryside. But then again that means no DSL when I get home.
Well I guess having Satelite internet at work has it's advantages
