I personally know someone who tried repeatedly to quit smoking using various methods. Acupuncture did the trick - permanently. I also know more than one person who benefited from a chiropractor. My sample size is tiny, and even if it's just placebo that's good enough for me.
I used to cut out BC and save them in a shoebox when he did Charles and Dianna. Then some time around 198x I threw them all out. I was shocked none of those ever surfaced after she died. The only words I remember are the baby calling her a "saucy wench". That was great stuff.
There are very inexpensive 32bit system on chip architectures (including MIPS - Lexra) in that price range that can at least run embedded Linux (uClinux)
And one of those will likely be running a 6502 emulator for this project. $12 should be enough to include the PCB and connectors to hook up a TV, keyboard and standard Apple disk drive. Or serially connect a PC with a floppy drive emulator to run from images.
For making "real" parts. Check out www.emachineshop.com. They provide a free downloadable program for designing parts. You can get help optimizing cost and even order right from the software. OTOH, a one-off is probably still more expensive and I don't think they have SLA.
So where is SVG animation? Canvas is HTML 5, which I don't think is final yet. SVG animation has been a W3C standard for some time now. What's the problem? And yes, I'm going to ask this on slashdot every time a new Firefox is released until it's fixed.
That patch has been available for a while (and has improved) and was there prior to Firefox 3.0. It was "too late" for 3.0 so was to be postponed until 3.1. And now history repeats...
I'm glad Firefox has SVG and is improving it. I really want to see SVG animation. It sucks to use java script just to cause a diagram to have a few moving parts when animate transform would do the trick.
Assuming it has the same density as earth it works out to 2.92 G.
Not suitable for people, but totally possible for life as we know it - especially undersea stuff.
Back at MOT (now freescale) I hear they called him Hector the Sector Director. People were happy to see him go. After his time at AMD, I'd call him "Hector Ruinz".
Didn't Boeing say they won't be testing carbon fiber wings to the point of failure because they'd need to call in the hazmat team? Is this the same type of problem we'll see when carbon fiber vehicles crash? I'm just asking.
Can Gnome 3.0 allow programs to render to the root window? Try running xplanet in gnome - you might catch a glimpse of something when you shut down. Try playing video on root with VLC - no uh uh. There are hacks to get screen savers and things to run on the background. This seems to be a fundamental design "feature" of gnome - the kind of thing you'd want to change in a major version bump. Or are they calling it 3.0 because 2.30 sounds too much like some really old software being patched over and over?
Populations of fruitfly have been bread to live quite a bit longer simply by destroying eggs laid prior to a certain (gradually increasing) age of each generation. I belive this took 50 generations or so. What would be the effect if say China (where couples are only supposed to have one child) allowed couples to have 2 or more children only if all 4 grandparents live to at least a certain age - gradually increaseing. Could we simply select for longevity? What biological dangers would be present in such an approach? Yes, this would be huge social issue, but 1/5 of the human population is already having reproduction regulated.
Let's all adopt the word "libre" which apparently means 'having freedom' and call it "libre software" (or would it be "software libre"?). The issue is that the english language does not have an unambiguous word for this. Let's just fix the language by borrowing a word from another. BSD and GPL camps will still argue about who's more libre, but at least the confusion about "zero cost" might be resolved.
Bill doesn't get that sending an email isn't going to fix the problem. He's sending email to people that don't know how to build these things and expecting they're suddenly going to figure it out. He needed to find people on the teams who have expressed similar frustrations and replace the team management with those people. "Hey, I heard you think this sucks. Got any better ideas? Yeah? Here's your new job." The trick is to find these people before Bill expresses his opinion - else everyone will agree that things suck. As THE Bill Gates, he could have made this happen, but instead he just decided to send an email....
Google for rtChess. (you'll probably need to replace the SDL.dll that comes with to avoid a crash on windows) It's got the best chess set models I've ever seen in a game. Of course I'm biased. They're mostly CSG with real curved surfaces. I made them by sketching on some graph paper and reading off 3 points on each curve and making a primitive that took that as a definition. On the performance side, the download is still using a horribly old ray tracer. The newer one (not available yet) is 2-4x faster per core, and also supports multicore. So when we update the game, it won't have to get all low-res when you drag the board around:-)
I can see it now. "We have to use methodology X because this smart PhD guy researched it and concluded this is the way...." Little does the boss know he was soliciting information from slashdot:-) Please just use this investigation for your own personal education and do your dissertation on something else:-)
Plowing up new land creates *lots* of CO2 via soil oxidation too, and quite possibly at a faster rate than the fossil fuels they are "replacing."
Conservation of matter is important here. Causing more churn of the carbon in the biosphere should be preferable to adding more carbon to it by pumping it out of deep rock formations or the ocean floor.
Since the biological things in the biosphere are made of mostly of Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen (the old COHN thing) in that order... Why should anyone be suprised that massive pumping of hydrocarbons out of the ground and conversion (burning) to CO2 - which plants like - is increasing biomass? Let me rephrase that - we're adding mass to the biosphere, why shouldn't we expect an increase in biomass? It's so like "Duh"... If a "scientist" didn't see this comming, they're not much of a scientist.
Since all those messages trying to "coerce" me into buying penis pills will be illegal. And if that doesn't fit, then the quantity should certainly qualify as harassment which will also be outlawed. Cool!
Ever since I started using SVG with Firefox 1.5, I've been waiting for animation capability. The SMIL patch is apparently working reasonably well, but it's just not getting applied to 3.0. This is really sad. I appreciate all the bug fixes and performance improvements, but it's really frustrating that plugins always seem to get higher priority than web standards. Just apply the patch guys. Thanks.

Great, so now if anyone can get a picture of the US landing site we can put that whole conspiracy theory to rest.

Why does this statement make me think of quaternions?

Where is Bluetooth? I want to get an Eee to replace my N800 due to the larger screen, but I need it to work with my bluetooth GPS.

Yeah, that's what I assumed the pronunciation is. OTOH, you could end it like that common Canadian word "eh".

You know, because it'd be nice to know if life can be built on a different set of elements.
