Back in Biblical times, all names had meaning. That's why you see things like, "She named her son $FOO because $BAR." David, as an example, is "the beloved," and I'm quite happy having it as my middle name.
They don't understand fluid instabilities and current oscillations...
...and you do. Wonderful. Now, why don't you publish a paper so we can all share your remarkable insight? I'm sure you'll be given a Nobel Prize for it.
One of the key things about Diablo II was the ability to play it online.
To be more accurate, Diablo II is an online game with a rather grudging single-player mode. As I like to play it alone, that means that it's almost impossible for me to get more than one item from a set. I've only once had a character get two from the same set in all the time I've played. Not only that, many of the Horadric cube recipies need things you're only likely to get together in a multi-player game. This is no accident, and Blizzard has no intention of changing it. It's their game, of course, and they've got the right to set things up however they want, but I do wish they'd take those of us who prefer single-player into account a bit more.
The character develop as a consequence of what action they happen to be ordered to repeat. Shoot a bow, become better at shooting a bow. Swing a sword, etc.
That's one of the things I liked about DS1. Shooting a bow should increase your ability to shoot, rather than giving you a point to spend on anything you want. Much more realistic. One thing I like to do is have spell-casters use their spell to open chests and so on because even that helps them level up in that type of spell.
A good friend of mine is a fan of the old radio shows. He downloads episodes of Jack Benny, Fibber Magee And Molly, Gunsmoke and so on regularly and listens to them. If he wanted, he could save them to disk and burn them to CDs, but he's not interested in amassing a collection. I'm sure there are many others doing this, because he gets them from a website devoted to the old shows, and it was up and running long before he found it. Were those shows copyrighted at the time? Sure. Are they still? In some cases, yes, in others the holders failed to renew so they're public domain.
It's a very open easy to read format... Why can't the technical forensic people read these files with a basic arsenol of tools?
For the same reason there are so many sites that only work properly in IE: the developers use it, and never bother to learn how to be compatable with anything else.
I regularly get emails from a site (I requested them, and want them, so it's not spam or anything.) that give me error messages because Eudora can't find the folder that Outlook hides certain things in. Why? Because I've never used Outlook on my computer. Of course, the emails are written by clueless lusers who think that MicroSnot Outhouse is the be-all and end-all of email clients, just like these soi disant computer forensic experts think InterSnot Exploiter is the only browser worth learning about. AFAIC, any crook using IE deserves to get caught, and the cops have no right to complain if the perps use something else.
Hopefully she not attentative enough to read your/. postings...
This reminds me of a true story from Usenet. A regular poster made some slighting comments about his wife. Somebody warned him that she might see them, but he replied that she never read this group. The first reply was, "What makes you think I don't?" That's right, she'd been lurking there for months and he never had a clue until too late.
The federal government is there, in part, to do things that no one state government can do, or that benefits more than one state. In this case, Louisiana couldn't possibly afford the needed disaster relief, so it's appropriate for the feds to step in. Rebuilding the city somewhere else may sound like a good idea, but in the short run, it's impractical. We need a place for those people to live and work, and we need it now, not in ten or fifteen years. The only place we can get that is on the current site of New Orleans, and that's where it's going to be.
I hope for your sake that when wherever you live has its disaster (Not if, when; they happen everywhere.) people are more charitable and generous than you are, although you clearly don't deserve it. I also hope that the metamoderators decide that the +1 Insightful point is Unfair, because what you wrote has no insight, just short-sighted greedy selfishness.
That wasn't exactly what I was thinking of, but it works. I was thinking more in terms of a masochistic husband never realizing that his wife has sadistic tendencies, or a submissive man who didn't know his wife had always wanted to be a dominatrix. You wouldn't think it would happen, but if both are a bit inhibited about their secret desires it could be.
Did you ever find one and have the wife respond, "If I'd known earlier he liked that, I'd have given him all the S&M he wants. No need for him to look elsewhere."
I stay away from oils because they can ruin your whole system...
Such as acting as transport mechanism for Vitamins A, D and E, which are fat soluble. You have to have some fats and oils in your diet daily, unless you don't care about proper nutrition.
The people who usually bitch about certifications are the ones who have met a person who is an MSCE and is an idiot.
In general, most I've met were. In most of the other cases, it meant no more than proof that they could pass a test that a nine-year-old girl could and did.
Chances are you imputing more value to the certification than is deserved!
That would require me to believe an MSCE has a value.
Although I admire the locked out reporters resourcefulness at getting their message out, I can hardly sympathize with this bunch of elitist, narrow minded idiots.
I take it, then, that you'd have more sympathy with a bunch of elitist, narrow minded idiots who's politics you agree with?
Well, for now you can use the de-weirdifier plugin if you run Windows;
Why shoud I need to? If the program's interface is so bad that you need a special plugin to make it usable, there's something badly wrong, and putting a bandaid like this over it is just ignoring the issue.
My big complaint about The GIMP starts with the huge number of overlapping windows it opens by default. Let's say you're just learning it and use it to view a.jpg. You get all those unneeded windows. Not being afraid to close a window, you close the extras. Next time you use it, you're planning to do some editing, and those windows are still gone. Not only that, it's hard at first to find out how to reopen them. There should be a place to specify which windows open every time, and which don't, and the menus or help system should make it clearer how to get more windows open when you need them. The GIMP suffers from the usual problem of a program tested only by its designers: an interface that makes sense only to the designers, without a long, hard learning curve.
Back during Prohibition, a number of gangsters were sent to prison for tax evasion. The Feds couldn't get any evidence about the really bad things like extortion, robbery and murder, so they used what they could get. This is just more of the same thing, and a great idea. Professional spammers are likely to be breaking a number of laws, so investigate them and charge them with whatever you can find. Selling drugs, tax evasion, fraud, whatever.
But Techno-Vampire cannot afford to be oblivious to what happened to him, he had to take a crash course in the school of hard knocks.
Say rather, a post-graduate course. At almost 56, I've been through that school more than once. Aside from that, yours is one of the most sensible posts on this subject I've ever seen. Keep up the good work, Friend.
No, I wasn't expecting the exact same job, I was looking for anything I was qualified for. Either they wanted specific certs I don't have (I prefer learning how to do things rather than learning just to pass a test.) or people with less than half my experience. As I also have programming experience, I've also looked for programming jobs, but I don't have as much recent experience there. There are many things I know how to do, but some of them require more heavy lifting than I can do at my age.
They may not be in your town, they may not be at the wage you used to get, whatever, but nobody *owes* you anything that they haven't committed to in a contract.
As far as you go, you're right. However, I can't afford to relocate, and most of those jobs won't even pay my current bills, let alone let me get caught up on my debts. I know, as the last job I had was tech support and only slowed down the rate at which I went broke. Granted, that's better than nothing and that's why I took it. I suspect my main difficulty now is that there's not that many jobs out there for techs with almost ten years experience.
Why do you think I hate people in India because they have the job I used to have? I don't. I just won't be sorry to hear they're in the same fix I am. What goes around comes around, and I see no reason to pretend feeling bad about it.
Believe me, I've been trying! I'd like nothing more than to get a new job doing tech support, because that's what I like doing and I'm good at it. Since I've been out of work, I've had three seperate hypoglycimic episodes (I'm Type II diabetic.) waking up in three different ERs. I've lost so much weight I've had to have my meds reduced because they're now too strong. Every time I check my email, I'm hoping some company I've sent a resume to is asking for an interview. I only hope you never have to go through what I have, although I won't be too unhappy to hear that the Indians who took my job are in the same boat.

Anybody besides me remember Chicken Boo? We now know he wasn't a giant chicken, but a smalish dinosaur!

If you did have a Beowulf cluster of these sharing a RAID, and the RAID got corrupted, would you end up with a Beowulf cluster fsck?
Enceladus was male, as you can tell by the name. A female would have been named "Encelada," making the mexican food joke even better.
