From my understanding, and my dad's, they also raise the noise floor so if you are trying to talk to people over radio (such as amateur radio) it is that much more noise you must contend with. Yes, DSPs can help to some extent, but UWB still raises the amount of noise one must deal with.
Commodore64 monitors are all good because they support S-Video input. Just build/buy a converter to go from the 4 pin s-video plug into 2 rcas, one for luminance and one for chromonance and you have s-video, at least a PS and PS2 work S-video in this way.
Juggling improves hand-eye coordination too. Try to launch 3 objects (2 in one hand, one in the other) into the air and catch them 20 times w/o dropping them. My 5th grade teacher would give 6 A's to anybody in his class that could do that. (That was about 1994-5, and my best is 428 tosses).
Reminds me of high school gradiation the past 2 years (I'm a junior and play in the band so I freeze while they run through the class of [12][09][09][09] because it will be cold).
My freshman year the 2nd best did a prayer as part of her little speech. I can handle this as she can blab on what ever she feels like. If she wants to do a little dance, be my guest. Last year, sophomore year, they stuck a prayer in between listed items, it was not listed, and it disturbed me as they could not get a 1st or 2nd best person to do it so they stuck it inbetween listed things. It just bugs me that the community (being mainly christin (My spelling stinks I know) and only 1 islam and 1 jewish in the last several years) doesn't seem to worry that this is happening.
All I can say is that the prayer thing in school has gotten out of hand. While I sould have yelled and brought this to media attention (unlikely since the local paper was threated when someone wrote an article (my sister, now in law school) showing what idiots some of the local h.s. graduates where because the were printing lousy contierfit $20s.) I didn't. Do I have a reason I didn't, no reason just that several years ago ( years 2 years 10 ) someone wrote a letter to the editor saying that it was awful that their wasn't going to be a prayer at graduation. (The editor of the paper, it changes every 2-3 years, the current one stinks, and the one who was editor (great guy and was the one that got threated (the articles just got dropped) started his own paper but went bankrupt, the paper he stated was better than the established the local paper and did more than cover the popular people).
All I'm really trying to say is that people can't blame anything but themselves. Do they, no they blame someone else. Have I ever been bullied, not really. The jocks give me some respect (I'm 6'2", 180 lbs, medium build and could kick some @$$ if pushed too far (unlikely because I just smile at them and go on with my life)) and can take the few jokes they toss at me, although a select (count on your hand numbers) people are just idiots, and they are not just the jocks and cheerleaders (although the cheerleader advisor on the other hand is a complete idiot that gives no respect to a person that has had to march a parade, 2 miles, in full millitary style uniform, with a hat that hurts their head everytime that it is worn more than 5 minutes (fixed now), and has been allowed to slack in band because the teacher is a 1st year teacher that is a child in their father's perfect image (strict and a math teacher) that doesn't know when to give us a break from working our @$$'s off in class(reverse weaves which meant: 1.5 months on corners that I know do nothing but have us march to the edge of the street, about face, march a pre-determined number of steps back, about face, follow the person in front of us, and do a right/left face 4 steps after they did)).
Students retaliate because they (as a single person or as a group) are mistreated by people, not just bullies but teachers and people that don't know what you have just gone through (or are just arrogant to the fact), to be where you are.
Just remember that just because the motivational speaker says, "Tell your self that you are special," you can remember/yell back:
"You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else." -- Tyler Durden. Fight Club.
Thank you for listening/reading/skimming/mooning my rant.
A friend of mine was trying to do a semster project where he was going to take some of the old macs (less than 5 yrs. old) and set them back on the network running through our linux server for file sharing and internet access. (Proxy pass to the school district proxy). It got ax'd because the district had removed the macs because "they slowed down the network." It is also due to the fact that the tech-help people (teachers that get slightly more pay) don't know squat about macs.
One of the higher muckity-mucks says that he realizes that I know more about computers then he does. Sit him on anything but windows/dos and he doesn't really know what's going on. Sit me down at almost anything and I can make it work (C64/128, Mac, Linux, Windows, HP48, Asembly on Aim65, ect.). To me the school district wants *eye candy*, not functionality. (And considering one school and about five teachers got Gate Grants I really doubt they will even think about using Linux (1 yearbook server (I maintain) and a student file sharing server (Linux has quota support) are the only 2 machines running linux all the time)
People have been linking to "questionable"/illegal things for years. How could this judge decide that the linking is now illegal?
"Computer code is not purely expressive any more than the assassination of a political figure is purely a political statement," Kaplan wrote in his opinion today.
Does this mean that people that write computer code kill people to make political statements?
For all I know copy machines are next on the list of devices that are helping people to break copyrights, and they will be ruled illegal.
I do a "class" at my high school where they basicly having us do this for a grade and hs credit (if I had done double english & history I could graduate at the end of this semester, I am a junior). I get some of the more intresting jobs because the advisor acknoledges that I know more than him (He was doing this 3 years ago).
All I can say is do the grunt work because sooner or later they will let you do the interesting stuff. Or expect it because you know more and they don't like reading what the error message is saying ("Another computer on the network already has this name" work ticket forwarded to me. They got around to fixing it before I got to the machine (I only "work" 1 day a week, I do yearbook for the advisor's wife the other 4 days, I maintain computers there also (the computers next to the trashcans make excellent X terminals off our dual pentium 200MMX server))
What kinds of activities/clubs do you participate in(sports, yearbook, drama, NHS, FFA, FBLA, Science Club, Math Team, ect.)?
I'm a 16 year old, Junior, who is does a computer class afterschool on days when I don't have yearbook afterschool. For me getting home before 4:30PM is a good day. (My Frosh yearI was at drivers ed @ 0655 and was yearbooking or computer classing until 1800 for 2 weeks solid. 11 hours a day @ school.)
I toured the LIGO at Hanford about 4 months ago. Very interesting. It was interesting to hear how while they were running some tests that the cars rumbling on the road, freshly graveled and about 10+ miles away, were showing up in their readings. Also saw the control room. I have never actually seen so many machines running solaris with my own eyes.
Looking at the Wall Steet Journal for March 20, 2000 Pg. A27 one of the little news clippings had that The Playstation 2 DVD bug, the ability to play othre region DVDs, may prompt the recall of the PS2. From the Article: "That [overriding regional coding] would violate an agreement that requires hadware makers to sell DVD players that can play only softare sold in the same market." Interesting huh?

Reminds me of a comercial (what for I don't know).
The kid had been sent to his room for explaining some tech thing.
Parent: How do you get the stupid kid lock off?
Kid (From Bed Room): Press channel up, 5, and volume down.
