I first read it as "Brian's cache memory found." and I thought 'hey, good for Brian.'
I'm at work right now. It's a good thing I don't need to be fully alert for my job.
"Wow! So on those smog alert days asthmatics should hook a gas mask up to a tail pipe! (I mean on a running car of course.)"
Cleaner does not imply contains oxygen.. It implies that there are actually less particles, and the output contains less carbon monoxide. The large catalytic convertor helps the residual 'incompletely' rendered output to finish their 'burn', leaving a lot more carbon dioxide.
I'm very curious about this as well, as I just bought a LinkSys 802.11-G Wireless Router. I don't see any answers. I'm pretty sure the reset button on the back doesn't change the coding of firmware...
The rain is incredibly acid and corrosive... why not just have a bar of zinc and a bar of copper sticking out?
The acid would power a rudimentary battery.
I don't think that's completely valid.
For example:
Assume if I am seeing flying penguins, then I am smoking crack.
Given that I am not seeing flying penguions,... Well, that has no real bearing on whether I'm completely stoned out of my gourd.
I inserted my joke, and it was the funniest damn "Belong to us" joke ever. But then I couldn't decide if I should mod your comment up because I had inserted my joke there, or if I should somehow mod myself up. I can't figure it out, so I'm commenting here explaining my dilemma. Curse you, space-time continuum!
But I haven't paid for it. I'm still using the demo account.
Sure, it doesn't act like "real" Linux for a lot of things, but it's very painless to install and very easy to run. It's almost to the point that a non-geek could run it.
And sure, they haven't directly contributed much in the way of new code, but they're been a big cash cow for a number of project developing groups.
Even the *simplest* system (assigning -1, 0 and +1 to certain cards) is hard enough to keep track of when you practice. Doing so at the casino is incredibly difficult. I can't imagine that the casino would frown upon one guy that can do it walking out with $1,000, when watching his winning streak will inspire 50 people to lose $100 each at the table.
It just doesn't make sense to kick an individual out. Any pit boss will see a table running up using card counting, and can (by casino rules) ask them to leave.
Long-distance lines are almost always AC power. Think of the 120V AC lines in your house, compared with automotive jumper cables. The jumper cables are several magnitudes thicker, yet they get much hotter.

I work in e-commerce. First, I'm sure a LOT of the issues that you're running into now have to do with the EU adopting their new Digital VAT (Value Added Tax) for all online orders as of July 1, 2003. Digital VAT has removed a lot of incentive to support online sales in Europe. The increased software costs retard sales, and the legal costs of figuring seperate tax rates for each country, paying the taxes to the country, etc., becomes a nightmare. To get better VAT rates, companies can maintain physical presence in a EU country and charge that country's VAT rate for all EU sales (Luxembourg offers the lowest VAT, but doesn't have the infrastructure to support large e-commerce, so my employer chose to locate a service center in the UK) There are also a number of other issues that we have worked to accomodate. The biggest issue for software (we deal mainly in software) sales abroad is piracy. My employer has developed/is developing solutions to solve this issue.
Another major issue is the fact that sites have to be developed in many languages to make sales in those countries possible. Sure, you speak English, but the majority of people in foreign countries prefer to place orders/order in their native language.
Finally, credit card processing to many countries (Russia, Philipines, China, Thailand, etc.) is very difficult because the authorization network is not 100% compatible with the US (Where most online stores are based.)
The views expressed here are not the opinion of nor authorized by my employer, Digital River, they are simply things that I have come across in dealing with the online stores that are run through their systems.
Unemployment isn't usually an option, unless you were making a LOT more money than I was. Minnesota unemployment typically pays about 1/3 of what you were making weekly at the job in question. When I got laid off, that worked out to less than minimum wage, to say nothing about being able to find food, shelter, etc.
I think the question of standards depends on where you're trying to go.
If you're trying to get somewhere, why not use the standards that are out there, and build off of them? Developing protocols/standards takes a lot of budget and planning. However, there's nothing preventing you from innovating beyond those standards.
Nobody says that you can't build your own protocols for your project, either. It will just take you longer to get from point A (beginning) to point B (end). Standards work because they're already planned out.

Yes, the linksys router I bought last week has a cisco logo on it. Thanks for playing!

Backwards. Most tin foil is actually aluminum. Aluminum is much easier to make into sheets than tin.
Spelling wasn't the first thing that came to my mind when I read this... Wouldn't the water get... umm.. embarassing as you carried it in your pocket?

That argument makes no sense to me. You've just described why people play the lottery, too.

One more try.
Developed the first actual computer cluster, and coined the term "Beowulf".
Why aren't there 5 or 6 preview screens? Or personal editors?
Pardon.
Invented the _term_ "Beowulf".
*cough*
If I'm not mistaken, NASA *invented* the bewulf cluster. And it ran Linux then, too.

Abbey Road was the second disc I ever turned into AAC format. The first was Revolver.
