yes i've run into it before. thank you for assuming i'm a moron. really appreciate that.
but i'm saying that this is probably a quote from someone that isn't authorized to mention a price saying something obvious. less than $465.
when someone asks me something that is covered under an NDA i always exaggerate and say its less than that. "how many networks do you peer with" was a question I got very often in previous jobs, and my answer was always "less than a thousand".
get it now? i'm betting that this quote is by someone that isn't authorized to say anything. if it is going to be $450, then i'm wrong. I'm not going to try to convince you that you're a moron in doing so.
programmers that worry about software perfection are programming for themselves. programmers that worry about the needs of users are programming for the user.
they each have an appropriate time in the spotlight, but when you're writing an app that others will use, you should write with the needs of the user in mind, in my opinion.
well the term "poofta" isn't very well known in America. When i lived in Australia it was widely known as a term for homosexuals. No one in America knows this that hasn't spent time overseas and in the real world, or that reads this slashdot post.:)
I don't think Flash's existence has anything to do with the non-existance of SVG content. I think the lack of content comes from the lack of viewing methods.
SVG is not just another vector-based image format, it is scriptable, patent-free, open source, and now built into Firefox. Yes, I know Flash is scriptable too...
with XMLHttp, SVG, and the latest nightlies of Firefox, I've been able to create dashboard programs very easily, with "guages", "warning lights", and all the stuff that my management wants to see in a simple easy to understand manner, all with open source software, and a little effort on my part.
It won't be that easy to get it implemented at my employer, but I was able to do it all in a couple hours without Flash.
I'm happy for Flash and SVG to coexist. I'm sure that they can live happily together.
The sun pushes them. when one side of the planet is hot, and the other is cold, the hot air tries to move into the cold air. hot air expands, and pushes itself into neighboring areas.
some locations on mars are different colors, so the sun gets converted to heat differently in different areas. eventually you get a lot of wind that seems to come from nowhere, because of turbulence. geography and other packets of high and low pressure cause turbulence.
so your answer to what pushes the wind on mars is the same thing that pushes the wind on the Earth. Sunlight.
... actually probably for BSD licensed code also, but my point is that even though the code is GPL, the copyright still belongs to the author. the GPL only allows anyone to copy/modify the code as if the copyright were their own. That is, the GPL gives non-copyright holders permissions that they would otherwise not have.
The copyright remains and the author can sell his copyright to someone who can then close the source. Whatever was already released will always be GPL, but the copyright holder always gets to determine the future openness.
the GPL does not apply to the copyright holder, remember. The author of the software does not have to obey the GPL - derivative works written by the copyright holder do not have to be licensed under the GPL because he actually owns the code. He can release a version under the GPL then turn around and close it if he wants to.
the Canon 1Ds does this. Not a Nikon but i think that's the point these days.
Canon's cameras are superior (I've owned many Nikons and many Canons) and everything Nikon does seems to be inferior. Current policies regarding their NEF format included.
turns out in real life my name is Jeremiah. My life is becoming more and more like the Biblical Jeremiah's life in that i'm right a hell of a lot more than anyone else and all they want to do it shut me up for it.
Nah man I loved Coop. I played coop over a modem without an ISP, if any of you can remember those days. Quake actually handled the dialing and the connections. good times.
yep linux supports all kinds of hardware. but what fraction of that hardware works well? what fraction of the supported peices of hardware work perfectly, without tweaking, every time?
THAT is why they tie the OS to the hardware. so you don't have to fiddle or hope that your video accelleration is detected.
because their profit margins on hardware are much greater than their profit margins on software. in other words they make a lot of money selling hardware.

that means LESS than $465. It is probably just someone saying the equivalent of "my car cost less than $100k." True statement, vague though.
I don't expect to see the PS3 come down at $450. If I were a betting man I'd say $299.

The kernel was built with SSE (intel-only) optimizations.

agreed. this is my primary source of joy in this matter as well. I'm serious.
I'll get to see SG-1 and Atlantis in HD in season two. Mmmm Torri Higginson... MMMmmmm.....
how long before we see lonovo machines at Best Buy?
yes, but did he copy the funniest department line every grace slashdot from the NYTimes article?
from the forgive-me-father-for-i-have-HADOKEN! dept.
(its even funnier than my suggestion of "from the stuff-that-antimatters dept" on a story relating to antimatter research)

double click the volume icon by the clock, or go to start | programs | accessories | volume control
click options, properties, recording, okay. then adjust the microphone volume to about 75% of max.
should do the trick. adjust the mic volume as necessary.
I saw that when it opened, and while I was walking out I heard a guy say "a sharp stick to the eye would have been better"
He was right. That movie sucked.

Besides you could get a 4Gb iPod Mini for about half what the 4Gb USB key cost, and they ARE solid state.
Yes they're harddrive based (not solid state) but unless you're in direct contact with a harshly vibrating surface, you have nothing to worry about.
holding the iPod with your hand offers more than enough shock absorbtion to protect the hard drive.

my iPod has 10x that amount of storage, and easily replaceable cable, and it only cost $399.
i know this doesn't solve his problem, but something to think about for all you would-be 4Gb USB key buyers.

you know that how?

His "reverse engineering" was this:

HELP
--seeing the list of available commands--
clone filename.c
seeing a bunch of garbage, then shortening it to:
echo "clone filename.c" | telnet bitkeepermachine > filename.c
wow that's what I call reverse engineering!

this hole was found like ... oh yeah only like a day ago. well that's pretty good i guess.

i wouldn't sell on anything else either.
You can use Linux and QoS fair queueing to restrict bandwidth to the three (or however many) computers to 1/3 of the available bandwidth. easy.

I just googled a bit and the latest stuff i can find is from 2001, but i know it can be done.
but i know its possible, so google it yourself.
