Not sure about where you live, but many places here will hold a 20 or 50 up to the light and look for the metallic strip. It's in a different place on each denomination, along with having the words 'twenty' or 'ten' on the strip.

Open Watcom 1.2 Released
·
· Score: 5, Informative
The Watcom compiler was a very popular DOS C/C++ compiler. Combined with DOS4GW from Tenberry (formerly Rational Systems), it was used to create many DOS games such as Doom. Traditional DOS compilers were only 16-bit tools whereas Watcom was 32-bit
SciTech scooped up Watcom's goods. They're also behind MGL, wxWindows, SNAP for Linux, Display Doctor, and GLDirect.
"What kind of pen is that?" "This pen?" "Yeah." "This is an astronaut pen. It writes upside down. They use this in space."
"Come on, take the pen!" "I can't take it." "Do me a personal favor!" "No, I'm not..." "Take the pen!" "I cannot take it!" "Take the pen!" "Are you sure?" "Positive! Take the pen!" "Okay. Thank you very much."
"If he likes it so much, he never should have offered it." "He didn't think you'd accept." "Well, he was wrong."
At best you get a 'install disk' that some 14 year old kid hacked up with Visual Basic. With AOL you get a CD with everything on it.
Mom and pop email = web mail accounts or attempting to configure Outlook Express or some random pop3 client. Ever use AOL mail? You just click on the MAIL Icon and it works.
We have a local mom and pop shop, they've actually got quite a few customers. $9.95 Internet! The only problem is trying to talk to a live person. And, don't let the internet connection crash in the middle of the night, your dialup account won't work until the next morning whenever they figure out something's gone wrong. What if you've gotta use that internet connection to do business at 5:30am and they don't get there until 9?
Now, if you're still in 1997, when you literally couldn't keep an AOL connection up, it was incredibly slow, and the software crashed every 10 minutes. They're nowhere near perfect now, but they've got their act running right.
What happens if you try to copy money with Photoshop CS?
The reason I ask is, we just bought a $25,000 Canon color printer. It might print some fairly realistic -looking- money, but it wouldn't fool anyone if they touched it, even if they had the right paper.
Our copier salesperson told us a story, that sounded like an urban legend, it went like this: "A few years back, we sold 5 color copiers to some Arab guys in the Detroit area. They paid for them in cash, didn't want a service contract, and wanted them delivered to some abandoned warehouse. At first our VP of sales didn't want to do it, but we stood to make so much money on the deal it wasn't funny. So we did it.
Apparently, they were using them to make counterfeit money! We talked to Canon and they have a anti-counterfeitting chip inside, where if you put a $20 bill on the glass, it will lock the machine up, and notify the local Secret Service office. A half an hour later, the feds are at your door!
In theory, wouldn't you be able to buy some real printing equipment for the price of a couple high-dollar color lasers?
Come to think of it, I can't think of a real position where this could be a problem. What would someone do, host protected.doc's on a public server, and hope no one hacks into the server putting back the password-modified.doc? Anyone have a real world example?
You've obviously never been in the real world.
To someone like your or I, Word is simply a word processing program. But, to office workers across the country....
Here's a list of things I've seen people use MS Word for:
Spreadsheet. Hit tab, enter a value, add them up by hand. Excel is 'too confusing'
Creating GIANT tables and using them for inventory, rather than an Access database
Creating a 3,000 page document and keeping time/attendance records for ~ 250 employees. And wonder why it takes 10 minutes to load, and 10 minutes to save, doesn't scroll right....
The number of sites on Cobalt has declined since August 2002, when it reached its peak of 3.1 million hostnames and 942K active sites. Our November hosting survey found Linux-Cobalt serving 871K hostnames and 527K active sites.

Actually...anyone remember the news stories about kids who used to play NES with their toes? They either were born without arms or lost them in accidents/illness.
One of the car parts catalogs would be a good place to start. If your car isn't a newer, computer controlled car, you'll have to get digital sending units for your oil pressure, etc. Then just wire them up to your PC through a serial controller.

I remember back in those days, doing one of two things to get past this:
downloaded a file from a local BBS that had an answer to all those questions
or, have a xeroxed copy of the instruction manual (or the required pages)
No crappy software required?

My VAIO FX210 works perfectly with Slackware. I have to use the 'linmodem' style drivers but everything else works great. Battery life sucks, though.
Reminds me of my 6th grade 'science fair' project.
I took a couple different compilers, languages, did some loops and math and such, timed them all.
"Which computer language is the fastest"
About half way through the project I realized how big of a waste of time it was.
What kinds of things should you be testing?
Speeds of function calls???
Implement various sorting algorithims?
Audio/Video compression/decompression?
When it comes down to it, it's all the same math, and any good compiler is going to come close to making the same darn code.
By now, we all know that you use one language for one thing, and another language for another. For various reasons.
A hammer is your only tool if all your problems are nails, isn't the cliche?
If you're not good enough to use rm correctly, then an old DOS command seems appropriate...
Then you might accidently delete it...by typing the name you're used to typing (if you're new to Linux)
How about calling it noseriouslydeletethis
Great. Now we can sick our robot dogs on Japans running robots.
Will WW3 take place at Robot Wars?

Real life tennis, that is.
Left handed people actually have an advantage in that sport.
Back to the topic at hand [pardon the pun]
The Left Hand doesn't carry video game controllers.
But, Lik-Sang carrys a left-handed PS2 controller
Imagine what 2 minutes of Googling for 'left handed playstation' could do for you
Come to think of it, I can't think of a real position where this could be a problem. What would someone do, host protected

I remember back in 2nd or 3rd grade, some kid got on the PA system and said something funny...can't remember what it was. Wasn't anything bad though.
There was a microphone in the office, speaker in every classroom.
He got suspended for like 3 days.
1/5 your 56k modem. Poor NASA.
A dell laptop is cheaper than a apple laptop. A ford is cheaper than a BMW. Whats your point
RCA universal remote. Small, works with DirectTV, my DVD player, my TV, and my VCR.
BigBangElectronics has a ton of remotes. Check em out.
It's rack-mountable. So if you're a hosting company you can stick a ton of them in a small place. Hence the name 'RAQ'

Looks like video games will all be Tetris and Pong from now on.
And just play DDR.
