3. Saw the spines off the book and for God's sake use some C-clamps on each end of the book. Preferably sandwich them between two flat boards.
That worked great for those books from the 17th century that I put online and are now searchable. However, for some reason the library won't let me back in for more...?
... E.coli is not transmitted by air so even if some of the cells in a bacterial computer mutate into a more deadly type they are not going to harm you unless you eat the thing directly or your food comes into contact with it.
Could you explain, minus the marketing speak that seems to pervade the IBM site, what is Jazz, what makes it a community-oriented developer's site, why is it different from, say, sourceforge.net, and if Jazz is so community-oriented and yet apparently tied in to Rational, where are the community versions (not trials, not demos, not limited to the point of uselessness functionality) of Rational products?
I hate security theater as much as any of us. But what if this were the scenario:
TSA: Sorry, I need to check your bag. What's this? Hey, neat, a script! What're you writing about?
Sable: It's a story about how people like you are humiliating innocent travelers for your own petty power trips.
TSA:...
I mean, I'm willing to give Mr. Sable the benefit of the doubt. I think it's unprofessional to respond to snipes and jabs. But this is the TSA we're talking about. Did he poke the bear?

If you drew the benchmark results on an XY chart you could name the four corners. The fast but verbose languages would cluster at the top left. Let's call them system languages...
No, not searchable. At least, not like what someone used to Google, or heck, even grep, thinks of as searchable. Here's what I sent to Kindle 2 customer support a few months ago when I was having trouble searching through a text for a word that I knew the beginning, but not the end of:
In the Kindle 2 User's Guide, under Performing a Search, it states "You can use whole words or partial words..." However, when searching for a partial word, such as "occurr", no results are found, even though the word "occurrences" appears in the User's Guide ("The list is ordered by the number of occurrences of the search term in each item."
And here is their reply:
I have verified that the functionality of the partial search you are trying to complete doesn't exist on the Kindle. The device only supports basic partial search functionality, for example "dog" instead of "dogs".
I apologize about any inconvenience this may have caused to you.
Now, the description of the search function on the Kindle DX is the same as the description of the search function on the Kindle 2. So you will not be able to say, "Hey, I wonder which text had phlogi... phlogi... phlogi-something in it. I know! I'll search for phlogi!" It's not going to work.
The large form-factor is great for reading technical document, textbooks, and references, and the native PDF display makes it compelling (as long as I can view my own PDFs), but if the search capability is the same as on the Kindle 2... then forget it!

Wow, that sucks bigtime. Search is a critical function for me.
Isn't it true that a settlement introduces no new caselaw because, in effect, the case is cancelled? In which case the "outcome of the lawsuit" mentioned above does not become a "law we have to live by"?
We end up with a bloody Koala problem, where they are overpopulated...We knock them out, and cut their nuts off, and stick them back up a tree. All this because they are cute and fluffy.

I think they make it up with property taxes. Anywhere from 1% to 6% or so.

You may not drink from this fountain if you are black.
Some things are just morally repugnant and should not be allowed in a free society. I think your definition of free is anarchy.
Perhaps, but this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dragons_in_mythology_and_folklore is highly draconian.
I heard that IBM installed PawSense 2.0, which blocks output when "cat-like computation detected".
Can I talk into one part and hold the other part up to my ear?
Captain Watson, is that you?
All humans to one common female ancestor.
If so, perhaps he could tame them.
Some fava beans and a nice chianti?
I have written a truly marvelous bug-free operating system, however there is not enough space on this disk to include it here.
"Electronics Shanty" is too high-class. "Electrics Hovel" is more like it.
So... no food allowed in the computer center. :(

You want Homeland Security to be in charge of health care?
What a coincidence! I'm just now joining the thread, too!

This is from Dead Poets' Society, isn't it?

If we plug Skycat into the Internet, it will probably find icanhascheezburger.com. Then, and only then, will the human race be doomed.

I guess it shows how out of touch I am with fighting games that I thought Marvel vs. Capcom was a lawsuit :P

Well, yes, and that makes them good for tourism.
Also, fuck you.
