At a company that I used to work at, an guy got in trouble for downloading porn. So, a couple months after they caught him, one of my co-workers said that he saw him doing it again. So our superviser at lunch time went and took a look at his computer. There was a couple megs of videos on there. When we opened one of the drawers, there was 823 cds filled with porn. Thats over 534.95 gigs of porn!!!
Technically, the dumpster is on their property, and the property inside the dumpster is still theirs. Throwing away something doesn't exactly mean your giving your rights to the possesion away. The grabage is then turned into property of the city, or a municipality. At no point did I intened for anyone other than the garbage man to take my things from the grabage.
Then you should go with the best of both worlds! You get the power of a computer, with the ability to write like a note book, they call it a "Tablet PC". They are more expansenive than a regular notebook of equal power. Please don't hurt me for posting this link, Tablet PC
IMO they are kinda frustating to use, and since I am a geek and don't take a shower for a couple of weeks, the screen gets kinda greasy.

Neuros Review

· Score: 5, Informative
The best part about the Neuros is that it based on an open architecture. Basiclly gives you the option of making it into whatever you want.
My good friend has one, and he loves it. It is a really nice portable mp3 player. He was able to develop a program so that it automaticly sends his voice mail (in mp3 format) to his Neuros. The only thing that I didn't like about it is that it is bigger than most mp3 players. Especially when you add on the 20 gig backpack to it. Awsome features! Fm transmitter, ogg mp3 wma support, and good battery life.
SAP DB is pretty much equivalent to Oracle 7.3.4 which is to say that it's a solid product for many real-world applications, but lacks many of the features for truly high-end deployment, like clustering, complex replication, guaranteed messaging, etc. I'd take Sapdb over MySQL any day, and probably over Postgres too. Another nice thing about SAP DB is that it can emulate Oracle's system tables, so an Oracle DBA can administer a SAP DB system very easily.
Funny you mention that, but his handwriting does tell something about him, and you. My grandmother has been an handwriting anyalist for almost 40 years now, and I have been learning for a couple.
Einstien's handwriting is very interesting. Notice how he dots his i's and how small his writing is. This means that he has an exceptional eye for detail, and he has an unreal imgination. A quailty many scientists poses.
We already see this in the cable internet industry. There is NO competition. This would probly be the same. Power companies own the power lines for that city/district and would monopolize, leading to higher prices. Yeah! Cable internet v.2.0.4!
Well, it seems that Microsoft has been working on some pretty cool moble devices too. They call the techonology SPOT (Smart Personal Objects Technology).
They have devices, like watches, alarm clocks, toasters, key chains, that know where they are and what is around them.
So your next watch will be something that keeps acurate local time, updates you on sports scores, stock quotes, weather, instant messaging, traffic reports, and news. And they are actually kind of stylish!
Evolution of Programming Languages?

Does this mean that a new bread of modern inovative programming languages will be needed? I am sure that most expirenced programmers would definatily like to do something differently to make the development process more efficient, and faster.
Any suggestions on what you would like to see if a new language was developed for this platform?
I usually play CounterStrike. The servers that I will only play are on, are they ones with anti-cheat protection.
Most of them run HLGuard or Cheating Death. Both seem to work for the average cheaters. But once and a while, you get people who get through, that are either increadably good, or cheating. Sometimes it is very hard to tell apart.
The anti-cheat protection software that runs on the client/server will only block script kiddies. What happends when a smart player figures out how to make his own cheat, and keeps it to himself? There is possible no way to tell.
My question is, What motivates cheaters to keep playing? Cheating elimnates the challenges that make the game fun in the first place!
Well, we are gonna have to find some way to get a good ping for Doom3-Doom4!
As for 3d holographic projectors, I do not think that we will be seeing them in the next ten years. For that to happen, we would be hearing about it now, and it would be on the production line 8-10 years later.... hurray for technology.
Hmmmm...I get different hits than you. I got 11,800 while searching for 'ask slashdot correct answer' and only 100,000 hits for searching 'ask slashdot'.
Maybe I should write in to Ask Slashdot, and see what is going on.
Here is a couple good ones too:
Milhouse: "The Statue of Liberty? Where are we?"
Milhouse: "Everything is coming up Milhouse!"
Ralph: "Go Banana!"
Ralph: "My cat's breath smells like cat food."
Here is a good article from Bruce Schneier that describes how Biometrics can be easily fooled, $10 worth of household supplies. Just go read the article.

So your scribble can mean many different things. Might wanna check out The Complete Idiot's Guide to Handwriting Analysis which is a very good book to get started with.
SELECT * FROM table == bad
:)
Do you know what exactly MySQL returns? I don't know either. Anyone else try figure out your code won't know either.
Don't forget if you update or alter your table, you could be grabbing a couple hundred bytes you don't need.
So, you obiously you need a book for help, might wanna pick up PHP and MySQL Web Development 2nd Edition.

For a research mathematician, you might wanna go back to counting numbers:
:p
1 - a
2 - b
3 - c
4 - d
5 - e
So the answer is D all of the above!
