The mag stripe contains only the 16 digits of the card. (I used to work for MasterCard).
I used to work for a company that wrote software for pc based cash registers. Unless things changed, we had to parse out all #s following the card # just to get # to populate by itself. There was no uniform layout of information. Some had the extra 4 digits you see on the back of the card, some had the expiration date, some had #s that I never figured out what they were. We even had access to the cool monthly # that would make it skip actually submitting card payments in the nightly batch so we could swipe real cards all day to test. That was a dangerous toy...grin...I resisted using it.
From here.
In November 1998, two different groups of scientists reported the successful isolation and culturing of human embryonic stem cells. Generally referred to as pluripotent stem cells, these cells have the ability to develop into most of the specialized cells or tissues in the human body and can divide for indefinite periods in culture.
What was it called before? I'm curious since 2 presidents before Bush would be around 1986.
Yeah but in the case of Lost or Battlestar Galactica, if you miss an episode in order, you miss quite a bit. I can always catch battlestar again on Monday nights but I can't find a rebroadcast of Lost on my ABC lineup.
Yeah that would be what I used to call the "cow" ship you start with. better ships have more visibility, speed, weapons, etc. you can turn off the cockpit in this version (I've been playing it a few months) but its pretty much cheating since that was the biggest reason to do your first upgrade.
Yes but if you have to advertise to the masses, it is much more. Otherwise you're only going to get people specifically searching for something in your content viewing your page. Odds are, if they are searching for something particular, they already know what they like or dislike.
For instance, its wording on motion estimation in patent number 5,692,063 could be used to describe the techniques in H.264 just as easily.
This refers to the technique whereby a processor can predict which pixels will be covered in the next few frames by an object that is moving.
Hmm...this technique is usually used by anyone in motion video or you will get screen flicker if you redraw the entire screen every frame.
Also, if these other companies are using WMV, wouldn't it be in their best interest to have their codec distributed with the huge marketshare of Windows users? I'm not sure if they were planning on selling a codec and what the market is to actually buy one. If I download something and it doesn't work with my standard codecs, I delete it.
You do know there are several alternatives for flashing a Dell, right? You can even push it remotely. They also have binaries for Linux on several of the systems I have flashed so you can just run it straight from the OS.
I have worked in a computer company which shall remain nameless. Any time a feature was disabled in the flash of any piece of hardware (including BIOS), it was for a very good reason. For instance, one test scenario showed a RAID5 completely failing when another feature involving HD access was changed. This failure only happened about 1% of the time so it was very hard to duplicate, but it was very real. That feature was disabled to keep you from losing all of your data.
Most of the problems involve applications that the average user wouldn't be using in their home. Anything widely used was coming down like a mudslide to Microsoft or the 3rd party app to make it work. I don't have any problems with the firewall on my Moms computer and haven't changed a thing.
have you actually read the bible? God and Jesus interacting on earth is very minimal. Physics or science can show how something works in the laws of our universe...but without the universe, none would apply. Imagine a universe where the big bang never popped. Just a big mass of matter of such imaginable pull that no light or matter would be outside of it. It would be a universe dark and void and there would be absolutely nothing.
Imagine a scientist comes up with a new breed of animal. It starts multiplying over several lifetimes, the scientist dies and all known knowledge of this event is lost. Further down the line you just say the new ones are perfectly explained by medical reasons of procreation. Yeah...but....they wouldn't be there if they hadn't had the first one created.
Maybe not lies but more like oversimplification. Trying to explain how the quantum physics and astrophysics work in a big bang would be much more difficult than just saying "I created the heavens and the earth". Explaining how a rainbow is formed with light defraction is more difficult than just doing it and showing the end result.
That site is pretty cool. Wouldn't it be funny if the "dead mans switch" malfunctions and it starts sending out the messages to ppl saying they are gone...heh.
I think its mainly ppl looking for a reason to hate religion that make that assumption though. Yes there are some that believe we are the only ones...but it did say God created the heavens AND the earth. Never said the heavens didn't have other civilizations or life. We have oceans separating continents on this planet...same as having space between planets for other areas for life. It all fits.
I know this is offtopic but I just wanted to reply. This is all true...except...the democratic party drifted away from its principal ideas and away from what the average American was voting for. That one democrat who spoke at the Bush preliminary said it best when he said he didn't leave the democratic party, the democratic party left him.
And dude..I am totally for a third moderate party. The electoral college is the only thing stopping them though...sigh. We need to just go for every vote counting rather than the majority of a state getting all of the electorals. That would stop so much of this nonsense of appealing only to the ones with the most votes.
reverse use for the beer fridge. expanded coils go on the inside to warm it up to a nice +1C. I'm just throwing that out off the top of my head. The rest could just leak to help with the global warming;)
The link to programs known to stop responding are all because of the firewall....which you can turn off. I don't see the problem here unless it is an incompetent sysadmin. Any software firewall is going to cause problems until you tell it what you can and can't allow for incoming connections. And the good of having a firewall far outweighs the bad of having to figure out how to point and click your way to turning it off or configuring things.
That is until they realize my plan will work. Weeds here in Texas will grow ANYWHERE and even during a drought. Lets cover Mars with weeds and that sucker will be green in no time. I wouldn't walk without shoes though....
Uhh...is this American football or that other football that is kinda like soccer? Here we go again...another measurement system with international differences.

You mean with a link we can click on easily? Oh the humanity! Don't click here!
I think it all started with the actual front article commentary that was approved by moderators with the little Bush bashing included.
What was it called before? I'm curious since 2 presidents before Bush would be around 1986.
The Clinton Administration published guidelines governing the use of human embryonic stem cells in the Federal Register on August 23, 2000.

It was a joke....grin....don't take me talking about pre existing oil wells on Mars seriously ;)
yep ;)

Water IS the next oil. Hydrogen gas station goes riiiiiight there next to the ice fishing on that lake.

Duh...we would have seen the oil wells sticking up out of the ground.
