You guys (folk, people) are a bunch of whimps!
I solved this by editing all my fonts by hand until they were as sharp as physically possible with my display equipment... I honed them until....
One pixal per character achieved the maximum possible sharpness.

I was raised by a small businessman who was raised by a slightly larger small businessman. I quit the family business for technology thirty years ago.
My dad refused to hire a salesman saying "my customers are the only salesmen I need".
The best salesman in our large high tech company, that I ever had the pleasure of working with, had a large set of loyal customers. The customers were loyal because he never sold them anything that wasn't fit for there application. He also got to know them very well (including how there kids were progressing, by name). His customers trusted him and I loved supporting them.
It was quite strange how few other salesman really seemed to learn much from him.
Here's a url for a news item with one scientist claiming their research ignored numerious peer reviewed and published items not suportive of global warming!

Man if you covered the dessert in East California with solar panels, it would be bad news. Think about the rattle snakes, spiders cacti that would not be able to survive due to all the shade. The dessert gives up it's heat rapidly now but even faster when only the panels are getting solar heated (yes they get heated by the sun too!). Heck the weather would change. For all I know it might become more cloudy (just a wild guess as another example result).
In addition to the previous reply to this, the fact that heat rises isn't the whole story at all. Yes hot air rises (include yours which has rose to 2),
radient heat goes in all directions and I expect there was a plentiful supply, probably plenty to cause ignition of cumbustables below the hydrogen supply. In addition, a portion of baloon structure that contained hydrogen might actually fall under some conditions such as most has escaped and the weight of the remaining container pulls it downward.
Some years back I had the oportunity to borrow a copy of the Naval Observatory's "Explanatory Suppliment" to the "Astronomical Almanac", 1992
edition, I think (http://aa.usno.navy.mil/).
In there the description I recall was of an ensemble, as you call them, of cesium clocks in France. This is the "master clock", if you will, for the world.
The thing that fascinated me the most was the statement that the committee, from time to time, in secret session would decide to 'steer' the thing a bit. These corrections go largly without explaination to the rest of the world outside of the committee.
After poking around the web site and scoping out the two frequency plots, it appeared to me that the thing was almost as likely to find a second in a billion years as to loose it.
btw, The 1 sec in a billion years seems to reduce to
your nanosecond (per year)!
I did enjoy the analysis and, somehow, it did
seem to hit home, like reading the explainations
on a Chinese Restaurant place matt of the year you
were born, with just a smitherene of truth.
In my case I started with slackware (not mentioned), changed to redhat from 1.x to 7.2 (bought 8 but never installed it for real use) but
after buying a new nvidia chipset MB at home and being given a new intel chipset gateway at work to load, at the time Mandrake was the only distro that came close to working right and supporting the devices. So the newer kid on the block (mandrake) became the suave dominator and when redhat did it's turnaround in the big customer direction, I began to forget about them and fumora, well I tried it.
Of course Mandrake ain't perfect and all have a ways to go. But the real Truth is I carry a live linux cd, Knoppix or one of it's derivitives for various uses. Long live knoppix!!!
"Powered by Windows ME" ? If I gotta use windoz for
something, that is my preferred version! I mean it
is still supported and it ain't nt/2000/xp! Heck,
I did try xp on my ABIT Athalon mirrioring motherboard and it ran like cold black strap molassis, especially at booting (it occasionally actually got all the way up and was briefly useful).
Of course on that mb I am having trouble finding a Linux release that will work properly with the HPT-370A chipset, even with updated BIOS. Mandrake 9.2 tried to work and blew away all my partition table data (claiming all the while to be working with the HPT370!).
Sorry if I wandered off topic a bit, vote for BUSH!
That sounds impressive, how impressive is it?
Can it be made rechargable? Can it be stacked to be
a full cubic meter's worth? How many Kilo amphours
would such a battery yield?
I guess it is too early to tell these things.
It would be interesting to see the bm run again
with this 'de-optimization' and note size again
as well as speed.
It would also be interesting to optimize the gcc
for speed and less for size, again noting both
size and run times.
After both exercises, we would have a better feel
for the peanuts to peanuts comparison instead of
just nuts to nuts:-).
I can't say I understand the speed of G eather.
I do work with some PHD's who do precision orbital
dynamics and they assure me that the orbits that
can be observed (Earth for one) act to a great
precision as though gravity is instanious.
This is a rather strong observation and will
take some doing to overcome and show that G is only
dawdling along at light speed!
The quality of clock in the GPS receiver makes a big
difference in accuracy of the results. This is true
both for navigation and timekeeping types. In any
case, the time of the gps receiver must first be set
to the time from the sat's but with corrections both
for the delay to the receivers position and for the
true gps time offset (around 13 seconds, if my
memory is correct). Then based on the time held by
the receiver, the position can be determined by the
delay measurments of and position information in
the signals. In the case of the 'position hold'
mode used in timekeeping receivers, the time can
be more accurately derived and produced. This is
why some timekeeping receivers have options for
the oscilators ranging from cheap (Motorola Oncore)
to quartz to ovanized quartz to rubidium (cheap
atomic) and beyond.
I probably should not try to answer your question
since I haven't read Potter and only have second
hand knowledge. However I will give it a shot.
In C.S.Lewis work, for example, "The Lion the
Witch and the Wardrobe", the lion is patterned after
Jesus Christ and the story lines emphasise that
which is generally accepted as good while the witch
and witchery is depicted as both bad and weaker in
the end. Thus the work is 'uplifting'
Witchery, on the other hand, in Harry Potter is
presented (so I understand) as attractive thus it
is generally of no real worth and is possibly
capeable of leading some off course, so to speak.
At least there is (it would seem) little
'redeeming' value in Harry Potter.
A few thoughts on this:
The report on the research did not say if the
subject measured by the scan was also interviewed to
confirm his feelings at the time.
My parents taught me (for better I think) to not
be one to take revenge.
The Bible says revenge belongs to God, and gives
guidance to leave God that opportunity.
My wifes cats even have begun to learn some
small measure of restraint, can't we humans?
In the traffic instance, every act of sanity
and kindness can be multiplied down the road by
the recipients and witnesses as can every act of
selfishness and selfish revenge. What kind of
traffic conditions do you prefer?
Can a policeman enjoy his job? Does he derive
some of these benifits acting on bahalf of others?

As they described the intent: Raising (their) Price Of Service - RPOS Or is it another r command?

Near as I can find, 2.537505 cm is closer to one inch.
NoNo, would someone mod this up because I like foxnews too :-)
Vote for Bush on Tuesday :-)
In reference to your sig, Don't forget to build your garage with a high cealing and large enough garage doors.
Actually, I find it goes both ways :-)

You mean you want a contest that will elicit code from the best of the best for Diebold to use for free?
You give them a one way ticket to India and tell them they have to earn there way back :-)
