However, I find their news is often "What's going on in Iraq/Isreal" or "Social Security Woes." Their shows, on the other hand, rock. Car Talk, Prarie Home Companion, This American Life, they've helped me burn several hours in the car or working on my house. Skip the news, but listen to the shows.
For Joe Sixpack, real hard. Wrap it up in a nice GUI, give him one thing to click that does the dd for him, and he'll like it. Say "go to a shell and do a dd" and you'll get the deer-in-headlights look.
Wow, way to make a commodity out of pets. If you can go out and just get another exact copy Fluffy or Fido, then I don't see how people would find pets to be a part of the family, rather than just another object in the house. We're already a disposable culture, do we want to extend this to pets, too?
I have three cats at home, and I love them dearly. Being able to get another copy of them wouldn't make them as special.
No no, it's "Since the marketing drones have redefined nanotech to include anything that deals in nanometer scale structures, news stories have sounded more important, and venture capital has been pouring in!"
I have the internet on a floppy disk stuck to my fridge with a magnet. Let me get it for you. What is your e-mail address? I will attach the floppy to it.
You have it backwards, Mr. AC. It's "Buy a Secret SCO Decoder Ring (tm) (patent pending) (C 2004 SCO) for $14.95 and we'll include a SCOSource license to try it out on!"
That way, SCO can show sales of their licenses!.
My name is not Darl McBride, and SCO can get bent.
No one knows just yet, but I bet it does something. For a while I had a wireless card in my laptop, and it was awful nice to lay on the couch and surf. But after a while, my leg right under the antenna began feeling wierd. Like the muscles were being worked only in that area. I set the laptop down and moved away, and after five minutes or so it stopped. I put the laptop back on, and it started again.
I thought, "Hrmm, that radiation must be doing something then."
For the MOST of us, 128 kbit AAC -> CD -> 320 kbit MP3 is good enough to make complaints trivial.
For me AAC -> Speakers is just fine. And if the need presents itself, I may AAC->CD->MP3. I haven't burned any yet, but it is good that the DRM allows me to burn it to cd a few times.
You mean iTunes music files have DRM? I haven't noticed. I've been able to do everything I've wanted to with the music I've gotten from iTunes. I guess there is no pleasing some people.
I've started doing this at my house, and there is a reason - the bulbs won't fit into some fixtures. The bulbs may be too long to fit into fixtures with globes. My kitchen ceiling fan light is an example, and my bedroom fixture has a bowl that curves wrong. However, almost all of the rest are flourescent. I still look at my dining room fixture and think, "that entire thing takes less energy than 1 bulb." It's got 5 in it.
And to respond to another poster - check with your energy company. Mine offers rebates on the bulbs, making the cost only slightly higher.
Yes, like in december, watching ROTK - at the climax, Frodo was going to claim the ring, and the projector goes south. I thought there was going to be a riot! Good thing our theater is well staffed so this took 3 minutes to fix.
No way, learn a martial art. I've been in taekwondo for the past 6 years, and have learned many good techniques against a mugging. Not only that, the confidence I display when I walk probably makes me less of a target.
Having a gun would make you more likely to get hurt, or be on the wrong end of the law. Besides, not everyone is able to use a gun on another person. If someone felt threatened enough to draw a gun, but hesitated in following through, then the attacker would now have a gun. Guns aren't always the answer to saftey.
I wonder if this takes some of the smell out of the lagoons also. A big stink in Iowa has been hog factories and how much they smell. I wonder if this would help the smell. If not, it'd really help the farms save money.
I also wonder how much using the manure in this fashion affects its ability to fertilize. Manure is often used to help fertilize fields, so I wonder if it's methaned out, if it's still a good fertilizer.
With the practical lack of QA, ANY helps. I've seen the results of no QA, and I don't like it. I'm excited at the prospect of our beta site going, "Oooh! an update!" rather than, "Oh god, not another update." Our developers don't have time to do a full QA testing, so having a QA guy break the program before clients see it can only be a good thing.
1. Get an idea and start working on it immediately.
2. Stop work on it to fix a bug, release the bug fix immediately.
3. Work on the idea again, but slightly changed.
4. When about 80% done, switch to new idea or "gotta have" feature.
5. Code like hell on original idea because it was released in its incomplete form and has now killed puppies.
6. Rinse, repeat.
All the while there's very little documentation, most of it being whatever I do.
Great, isn't it? That's how it was. I've taken control and actually have implemented a release schedule and proper bugfix releasing. I've also just gotten a QA guy, things are looking up. The processes before I got here made me wake up at night. Lo and behold, with the new processes, the phones don't ring as much.
No no, they still use SCO unix in some ways. I can walk in the back room and kick a box running SCO if I wanted to, as I'm at a Chrysler dealership. Dealers used a SCO box attached to a sattelite dish to do factory communications. They're in the process of removing those boxes, yay, but they have used SCO in the past 7 years.
Maybe the shortage of helium will drive the fusion research market, pushing fusion technology to the forefront to drive the alternative source for helium market. But what will Big Helium think of that? Will Big Helium try to stop the development of alternative sources? Or do I just need more coffee to stop talking nonsense?
I remember a gal in high school who did a paper on D&D. Most of it was regurgitation of the ignorance born fear that was spread around. I read the paper and argued each point with her. She had no evidence other than a single "report" put out by the mother of the kid who committed suicide.
I'd rather have my kids play D&D than watch TV, there's less violence in D&D, it forces them to use their imagination, and there's no commercials.
'It senses when a speeder is approaching and metes out swift punishment' I thought, "YES! they put railguns or rocket launchers on them. Or something less deadly, like paintball guns!" Then i read that it just turns the light red. Lame. The only way to combat speeders is with high explosives, every one knows that.

McDonald's comes up with a new character to help promote a new burger line:
Soylent McGreen.
You have to watch out for the one who has "Cows with Guns" on her playlist.

That's easy. There's some loose language in the Act that can probably be used to equate standard crimes as terrorist acts.

No one gets any during the holidays -- all the coats are on the bed!

Yup, never underestimate a nerd. My Master is a math teacher, and at college there were plenty of CS/MIS people in taekwondo.
I think that's the point. They'd recycle things often, and use the Boof-o-Matic to erase previous memory of it, and they'd release it as "new."
Comming this summer, Frodo finds the ring. Boof
Coming this summber, Frodo finds the ring. Boof
See the PROFIT!! potential? I think Eison needs to go out and patent that idea before Boof!
