I'm pretty sure I dont need the bird & bees talk with my 14 year old daughter. They have sex-ed at school and she told be about it.
All I need to impress on her is that boys will say and do almost anything to get their end away. "I love you" is not some un-utterable incantation as perceived by Hollywood, but trips off the tongue of any hormonal teen boy. When the time comes, knowing which boys are more likely to be be respectful about it afterwards, as well as being "hot" is important.
But right now, openDNS + Google safe search + AdBlock has been fine for me
This also isn't anything to do with any supposed race vs. culture distinction - it's still reasonable to stereotype in the way you describe based on race (or sex, come to that), but again crosses the line when you force others to do so.
I agree, Stereotying is an important behaviour *in the absence of other information*. Once we are in a situation long enough, we should be refining our initial assesment according to the situation. The line is crossed when people choose not to update/discard their stereotype assessment in a given situation, when it is warranted. (ie the stereotype is wrong)

Well bear in mind it was the oldest in the world though not by much. Easy to criticise with hindsight.
Though I did never understand why there are so many points failures.
Why not suggest to your IT Security people that they can just disable the USB drivers.
Also I hope that the guys training/induction mentioned that unauthorised USB sticks are prohibited and ninjas will smash through the office partitions if you try to use one.
I wasn't saying "NAT" is wrong. Thats why I deliberately added the word (just).
Def pedantic : overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching.
The word 'Pedantic' does not imply negation nor disagreement.
So, to be pedantic, if you can't give me a definition from an RFC that states NAT shall not be used to describe PAT, then I will presume your correction to be in error.
To be *pedantic* at NO point did I say NAT was wrong.
Sometimes I wonder how much of this damage comes from them seeing the adults completely freaking out around them, even though the 'porn people' looked fairly happy. Most kids shouldn't be too traumatised by "normal sex"
Having said that the 'Gag Me' titles , with running mascara, I can understand how that can be damaging. It can make young boys more sexually aware too early, and make young girls insecure. I guess.
So if you lose the pack you have no idea what the requirements are to replace it yourself.
Thankfully sometimes one can often ask on Usenet or Web Forums, or even sneak a look at the online PDFs.
As an aside If I buy USB based devices I like to make sure they use one of the standard connectors. Had to bin a 2.5" HD Caddy because I lost the cable. Never again!
I remember doing prolog at uni. It seemed extremely weird and difficult until gradually you have a Damascus/light-bulb moment(ie stop thinking procedurally) and then all the power is revealed.
Oh man I didn't even know what 2girls1cup was unto I saw your comment and looked it up. The initial feeling of loss is more than compensated by watching the reactions on YouTube:)
I suspect all of the Western Business World is aware, but that it's not really an issue. After all China "won" the Olympics just as business is looking to get a piece of the pie..
Cheers. I also found these Acidrip patches.
PS In case anyone missed it, I really meant to ask about the front end GUI/script tools rather than the engines.
PPS I'm actually using Mandriva.
A lot of the GUI front ends dont seem to have obvious options to pass the flag through to the engine. Devede mentioned below is one that does, and the kind of thing I was looking for.
I simply dont have the time to grok video encoding AND efficient SMP alogrithms, and do my day job, but I do want to use them.
And FWIW I have contributed patches in the past to both the avidemux AND nzbget prejects , and they have been accepted, but these have addressed more trivial aspects of the software.
Darn, I forgot a minor detail in my question. I was really asking about the various front-end apps (dvd::rip, k9copy, acidrip etc), I got the impression that none seem to notice they are running on an SMP platform and pass the necessary switches by default to the backend.
Some may argue this is a good thing, but for the time being SMP is the way forward for faster processing as MHz has maxed out, in consumer PCS. So when they start buying octo-core CPUs they dont expect it to run at 1/8th speed by default.
I was also being a bit lazy. I could have checked up on each app in turn, but I asked/. instead.
There are times when discreet config files make sense and there are times when the registry makes sense.
The registry is good when programs need to find out what other programs do certain tasks. eg. A Mail Client wants to know what your web browser is, without your interaction. The Desktop Environments all have a registry of sorts to make this easier.
Discreet files are good when you want to run multiple versions or instances of the same or similar application without them interfering with one another.
There are probably other pros and cons, but there are times when the registry idea is damn cool, but sometimes the implementation leaves a lot to be desired (eg class ids?)

Unrelated to the point being made but IIRC it's "The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." Not of all evil. But do carry on :)

"Actually NAT DOES provide some sort of security"
I agree, though being pedantic it's PAT and not (just) NAT

Great and now youtube has lead me to 2girls1finger and something called "BME Pain Olympics" which I dont think I'll be able to watch at all.

Excellent. Just the type of thing I was looking for. A gui frontend that sensibly passes the thread options to the engine!

Tandem just got a mention over at DailyWFT
