By default the DS doesn't have a browser. There is a browser software cartridge that opera made for the DS and they have fixed the missing browser issue with the DSi by bundling a browser built into it. But the significantly larger, existing userbase will be using a DS without a browser that cannot get to the captive portal.
I don't see how this proves anything. Geometric progression doesn't mean crap when they A: don't have to suck you dry to get through a day, and B: being sucked dry doesn't automatically turn you into a vampire. With those 2 things in mind... The whole geometric progression seems completely Incorrect.
Well i have to agree... Model F is the only keyboard I could love more than a Model M, ( Im ignoring the model M2, which is keyboard crack, feels like model m, types like model m, sounds like model m, but is built completely different and is as small and light as a normal crappy $5 usb keyboard, only built better )
Anyone with more info on how these beasts interface? I want to park mine on my desk at work so very much.
it wasnt inbuilt/enabled by default last i heard. But have they realy removed it entirely ??? its using regular dvd format/size media now.. how on earth would switching to anything else make it cheaper for them... i dont think they can save anything by changing to a drive that wont read dvds...
heard of ebay... never heard of whats his name... hell i can hardly remember it for a minute before i get confused with the spelling of his last name and want to forget it.
id mod you up but instead ill further highlight my agreement.
WHY would you want to risk firther exposure of such sensitive details as your bank acount login by adding ANOTHER leg to its journey out to the bank. If you dont trust your lan, you can use a vpn or ssh tunnel to somewhere better (something i commonly do, especiauly when im using wireless networks, ssh to a wired box, then (for wireless at least) re-ssh again to another wired one from there (a little bit better incase anyone gets my auth over the wireless))
Using a tor server for your most confidential information that is so connected to you as to the level that the parties involved are in posetion of your bank details and phone number and address, is rediculous, unless your the kind of person that uses fake deails of the type above, is constantly moving, and realy doesnt want the bank to know where your using the computer from, WHY THE HELL would you anonymize your logins to these.
To the companies it raises massive red flags, as you experienced first hand what they do its clear they act on such behaviour. If you dont trust your bank, dont bank there.
And ill point out that placing a software routing point between you and your end point, you do increase the potential for man-in-the-middle attacks on your sensitive login information significantly.
This is where you point to the back catalouge of vintage 2d games and the way a sideways held pad is quite reminicient of the NES pad layout for classic 2d gaming:)
its simply Supporting the right of people not to be MADE to bother about such nonsence they dont wish
I personaly dont like how the fsf and rms are causing the same kind of stuffed up licence uncertainty and legal issues with this whole rewrite that sunk the bsds when linux was starting out. buisnesses were scared this stuff would make them a target of a big lawsuit by the old guard unix corps. Now its being forced to hand over your entire code base by this gpl3 thing...
Oh i agree completely that writting several million extra lines of code to do all the stuff in your own program is totaly pointless.
But conversly, Its Utterly Obtuse to be force fed a million libraries, as part of the language STANDARD. the JVM does not need to have so much extra Bloat, the smallest ive ever seen a java program on windows was a 25MB memory footprint, and that was less than a meg of compiled java code. and about a 5mb program (including pics etc) all up, the JVM should be a bytecode enviroment, and something else should be left responsible for all this library of spaghetti code. Nothing stops them defining and releasing a standard set of libraries, but why does every bloody program have to load so much more than it needs, its a perfectly decent language for what it does, but the standard libraries have got to be separated, segmented, and organised, if i need just 3 libraries for a program, i dont want to load the entire standard java package for them, i want the three libraries and the absolute minimum of core libraries, and thats something java seems pretty poor at doing.
i was taught in university to load entire segments of the standard java libraries, i need some math stuff, oh just import java.math.* etc... not the java.math.stat.normal_distribution or whatever.
in my case, this was way back when i was first learning, and to top it off was trying to be used with a database connecting JSP, so i couldnt use an Array, writing my own was and remains pointless, and overly difficult. But you remind me of the other thing i despise.
Whos says i hate it cause its not open source... I have technical and actualy relevent to the language itself, issues with the damn thing.
Orthogonality, the property of a programming language being built from a set of defined basic constructs. C is a quintisentialy orthogonal language, you dont need X billion extra libs to use C. Java practicaly force feeds you libraries and methods till they start oozing out your rear end. I understand java syntax, and im competent in using the languages basic constructs, but i cannot write anything seriously in java without reffering to the billion page documentation on the bloody thing... I want a date in my program, oh no i cant just use an array of ints, i cant override their methods, i cant even IGNORE them, i have to use the sql date format via the sql library, i cant even use the depreciated unix date format... and thats a reatively tame example. Im sure plenty of you have worse horror stories about the java libraries.
Java is a painfuly non-orthogonal language that thoroughly pisses me off to use. And being forced to learn it for practicaly everything at my university is a horror that i attempt to flee from at every turn. Thank god for languages like Python, and the C family (C C++ and Objective C) (not counting the bastard child of java, C#)
The presence of an established investment in scsi actualy is the reason it remains popular.
SataII is by far the best youll get in your desktop, massive drives, good prices, and if you realy need it, a solid hardware raid controler for them (at the moment my favourite is an 8 way sata2 raid controler that uses a PCI-e 4x slot:) ) to enable larger array sizes (2TB arrays for movies or whatever else) and delivers phenomenal performance.
In an enterprise situation though. these drives, havent been available long enough, sata2 has only JUST gotten close to catching up to scsi feature wise, with the NCQ and other features its definatly a worthwile interface for new servers. But If your filling a rack with hardware, You cant limit yourself the way sata does. Sata with its one drive per connector, prevents large scale connectivity needed in high throughput and reliablitity focused servers.
I have an old PCI SCSI controller and i could attach in the very least 14 drives on it, shared between internal and external connectors over 2 chains. scis still has major territory on sata in this regard, storage density and scalability.
Sata has improved and scsi is no longer an order of magnitude better than destkop drives in terms of performance. But scsi was never all about the drives, the other technology in scsi is what keeps it in the enterprise arena, external connect interfaces, higher drive per controler ratio, etc.
But beyond this, If you have a scsi datacenter, with hot swapable arrays of hard drives that have been running for the last 2 years... yould be mad to switch drive techs, thats why scsi remains entrenched in enterprise, cause its been there working quietly for this long that its a Known factor in large contingency, budgeting, and capacity calculations used by big buisness bean counters.
theres a reason theyre differently sized, to make it blindingly obvious what each one does, A is the primary action, B a secondary action, x and y providing extra actions or modifiers, Its quite simple and i find it highly effective.
Well theres ipod linux, but if this is technicaly (spec wise) superior, can be obtained cheaper, and eventualy gets linux, i think i might make some mod sales haha
I here by bitch slap your ass strait to wikipedia for you to discover for yourself just what the most Proffitable gaming franchise ever is... and ill give you a massive clue

And before you rant much longer about the best pad ever, tell me, have you played with a gamecube pad?
if theyre worried about stuff like THAT, its not hard to make better metal detectors, and its awfuly hard to make a detonator without some metal, either timer or remote/radio based.
I assume your reffering to Sarin, as im totaly unfamiliar with "Zarin" but i guess its perfectly possible he was such a cheap ass he could afford name brand nerve gas.

Thats the first really good math/algebra joke I have heard in a while, there arent so many of them around, i usually hear the same old 6 repeated.

the use of strong typing and name enforcement is a major hurdle to easy use of the language.
that and think logicaly.
You perform an action/method/operation ON an object in the normal world
fill $object with data
not $object.fill(data)
its just counter intuitive, especialy when a student is pushed through it.
and im pretty sure yould aggree learning a language improperly, is probably more detrimental than trying to code while drunk.
Whos says i hate it cause its not open source... I have technical and actualy relevent to the language itself, issues with the damn thing.
