  1. Geometry. on Beauty In The Eye Of The Android · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is trivial. It's all geometry. Most noteably a semetrical face, but there's more to it than that. Width of mouth to width of nose, hips to waist, almost anything you can think of. The most common prefrences are well documented, and they are surprisingly exact. There has been a lot of work on this, it was only a matter of hooking up the specs to a camera and writing an algo to compare the two.
    I really doubt hair/eye color and such mean a damn thing to it.

  2. Re:O'Reilly series of books... on Technical Books for a High School Library? · · Score: 0

    Is 'Practical C Programming' still in print?
    I've found 'Practical C++ Programming', but C isn't at any of the bookstores here and they can't order it. I just assumed it was out of print :/ I'll go check I suppose, I'll be rather ticked if it has been available all this time.

    Anyway, to resemble being on topic, the FreeBSD handbook. It's wonderfull, it's free. I'm not sure if it's ok to just print and bind it yourself, but you can order copies.
    'Special Edition Using Linux' was of infinit help when I was getting familiar with Slack 4.0
    It's full of how to config without relying on front ends. Particularly learning my way around printcap, it made it painfully obvious.

    I've read plenty of Shakesphere, and it looks nothing like how people write/speak today.
    So, is Shakesphere what you want me to look at?
    Sorry, you'll have to do better.

    Yey, that's nice and all, but I asked for material from the time period, not about the time period. I'm not intrested in a likelihood, I want to see material.
    Even if it could be proven it was pronounced the same, it just makes the post that started this look even more idiotic at a loss of part of my argument.
    I'll take either and as such, I'm done here.

  5. Re:IPv6 on IPv6 Application Competition - win $10,000 · · Score: 1

    Like Net/Open/FreeBSD, Linux kernel and by extention most distros that throw in IPv6 apps, Windows, and all the hardware they support? Hell, probably MacOS too.

    I'll shoot myself the day a troll bothers to log in.

  6. Re:James Gleick? on NYTimes: Tangled Up in Spam · · Score: 1

    That was a great book. Got it several years ago at a thrift shop, havn't let go of it yet.
    It's what got me into mathmatics, and by extention C.S.

  7. Re:in English on Pyromaniac Cosplay · · Score: 1

    Funny, I've read quite a few books that are 200-500 years old and I don't see how this isn't out of your ass. Please give me some titles that havn't been translated from the time.

    "good old USofA"? Try:
    "good old USofA's [i]gas stations[/i]".
    Find a real smoke shop. You'll have a heart attack at the selections. Or roll your own. There is _nothing_ anywhere prepackaged like a quality hand-rolled with a fine, fresh tobacco.
    Let these 'gauloises' and 'players' smokers have there dry, crunchy, smoke flavored air.

    puts() and gets() is unloved, but eh.

  11. Re:Duh? on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1

    Oh, and by the way.
    If you actually bother to log in and check,
    at least the 642M has access control lists too.

    It really is a nifty piece of equipment, it's just crappy defaults and accepting masses.

  12. Duh? on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1

    I changed the password the first day I got my 642M, a little over a year ago. A quick search on google provided the password.
    And this may be of intrest. Not too long ago I switched to a static IP, but it wouldn't work.
    Trying the provided software, and updates, on a Windows box, and it *still* wouldn't work.
    After days of talking to the tech support monkeys one finally suggested removing all the software are simply setting it as the proxy.
    This didn't work, either.
    What I had to do was log in, and access a *hidden* menu, to set up a static bridge.
    When you start off with a static, it's pre configed would be my best guess.
    I couldn't find anything about on Sprints site, Earthlinks, or Zyxels, and the tech support drones didn't believe me. Thank goodness I had been curious beforehand.
    Just log in, and try random menu numbers, there's 4-5 IIRC.
