In the time it took Bill Buzbee to create his homebrew CPU, I perfected the artificial vagina. Coincidently, it too is constructed out of 200 74-series TTL chips wired with thousands of individually wrapped wires. Now I ask: whose time was better spent?
Look over there! A pink wildebeest mating with a green giraffe! A blue moongoose mounting a purple elephant! Is that a lion under the zebra? Heavenly stripes galore!
I have Hardcore Pornstars issue 1 (Willamette on cover, Jan. 1970) in pristine condition and in its original shrinkwrap. I thought you might be interested.
Wait -- you said "dual core processors," not "Hardcore Pornstars." Nevermind.
The grandparent post used the expression incorrectly. The correct idiom is "the pot calling the kettle black." The poster thought the pot called the kettle "back", which makes no sense at all.
The idiom dates back to times when all cookingware was cast iron. It refers to a person finding a fault with someone else while the accuser is guilty of the same fault herself.
For example:
"You're calling her forgetful? That's a case of the pot calling the kettle black."
or
The case here, where someone submitting a story to Slashdot describing others as "lifelong virgins." Since everyone who reads Slashdot is clearly a lifelong virgin, that's like the pot calling the kettle black.
The graphics card performs the effects. Therefore, you would have to read back the framebuffer of the graphics card for each movie frame. On low-end hardware like they used, that cannot be done in real-time. That doesn't mean it can't be done; it was just simpler for this blog entry to set up the camcorder.
Roblimo: It seems to be part of the chronic open source question...
Ahh, open source chronic -- an unattainable panacea. I've search low and high, but what I've found is not exactly what I'm seeking. The obvious place to look returns a 404 error -- not the 420 I had hoped for. I've performed numerous searches, but haven't gotten many hits. Please help, I'm buggin'!
This is a rumour. The fact is that Microsoft has made no definitive statements about IE7. They have been very tight-lipped about it, even within their internal-only IE discussion lists. Let's not waste our breath propagating this rumour.
Please let me be the first to congratulate you on advancing one of your projects past the "beta" stage.

After Vol. 4 are you going to do some "prequels?" So 1-4 are actually, say, 3-6, and then the new Vols. 1 and 2 include new special effects capable only in LaTeX2e?
There's much debate about whether fingerprints are the primary keys to human identity. Law enforcement has based over 100 years of work on the premise that no two humans, anywhere, ever, have the same fingerprints. Some people say this is hogwash.
Let's leave out, for now, the fact that it's not possible to verify this claim at all: there's no way to test all living people and compare their prints. This is troubling, but a bit of a red herring.
More troubling is the way fingerprinting is practiced. There's a case in Philly right now where a federal judge has prohibited the prosecution from testifying that two fingerprints "match" -- and Tom Ridge wants fingerprints added to U.S. passports. From this article:
But in 1993, a Supreme Court decision required judges to take a more active role in deciding what scientific evidence to admit. In the case of fingerprints, the so-called "Daubert" guidelines would lead to questions such as: Has the practice of fingerprint identification been adequately tested? What's the error rate? Are there standards and controls?
The answers, respectively, are "no," "no one knows," and "no."

Good call. Now CmdrTaco will dump his landline, immediately have a heart attack, and won't be able to dial 911. Thanks, 99.4% uptime!

It's true that Amazon takes 15% of your selling price. But did you realize that they also make money on shipping?
The amount they reimburse sellers is less than they charge buyers for shipping.
Sneaky.

I work at an EA Games in Manhattan. We were told by management this morning to pull our copies of WoW from the shelves. Guess this is the reason.
Sad, really, that your system isn't scalable enough. Your loss!
