The guy that used the "wanna be" was right on the money. The fact is that there are lots of folks who think the mob guys are a bunch of pussycats. Of course they don't break your kneecaps. They kill your girlfriend or something else truly frightening. If that doesn't do it, things get worse. Does he honestly think that the bad guys are going to frighten him till the work is done? Common, the Slashdotters have certainly had plenty of experiences with the small but evil of the world. Banks anyone?
WHAT RETARD Modded that crap to interesting? He sadi he could have been enjoying Longhorn! Didn't he read the part about non-existant? I have 28 Apple machines running 10.3 from one graphite (400 mhz 256 meg ram) to a bunch of new iMacs and dual processor G4s with a gig of ram each and one lonely G5 and one G4 laptop. Let's not even talk about what I don't like about the weird IP handler that returns the zero config address across the network on port 80. Whining about the lack of a registry or the directory browser is so . . . ugh! What kind of performance do they expect on a system that makes its display out of PDFs? How long does it take to render a complex page to PDF on his WIN machine? at this point it will take about a year and a half on longhorn.:))
an old program from the early 80's with NO MOUSE. Some things are perfect when they are invented. Like Fractal Design Painter and Oreos.

approach to the issue. Neither agression nor defense. Just do what needs to be done. I can't tell you how much the misuse of analogy in my industry affects me. People don't just go wrong. They do it spectacularly by thinking that life is an analog of *insert the name of a sport here*. Obviously things in life are similar, but they are separate and should stay that way. Men and women, stuff like that.:-)
Just do it . . .

Maybe people should concentrate on doing what they really have to do, and do it well. If it happens to use a computer, fine. Clay tablets might work jsut as well for some applications.
At dinner last night, my friend asked how I could justify spending a lot of time putting in massive amounts of information on a project. I told him that's what students are for! (wink wink, nudge)
think before they use a hammer. Using software to fix problems that exist within their human intelligence arena is soooo typical. The bit about subrogation is so idiotic, I can't believe it. Any idiot can check a box on the report if there is a basis for subrogation. If there is enough data in the report to determine a basis for subro. then the adjuster obviously knew that it should have been handed to the subro. dept. from the outset. There is obviously an issue here. The adjusters are reluctant to send claims to subrogation. Why? Maybe they got yelled at for making work for the lawyers who are paid much more than adjusters and they need to be able to blame it on the computers.
alumina and kaolin makes porcelin could put urinals all over the outside of the shuttle the other stuff was called Kao Wool, that's the batting like you would use in the attic. It would have an astronomical R value, ha ha. You could put your finger through the kaolin refractory paste even after heating to 1500 or 1800 F
in order to have a bona fide ceramic, it has to be vitreous. mineral components melt and crystalize. if the crystals are long enough, they are very durable because they interlock like crazy.
come to think of it, apetite which is tooth stuff doesn't get fired. ha ha boy woult that hurt
I think Fibrefax was made by Corning as a refractory that could be spread with a spatula. It was make with kaolin fibre. You could spread it an inch think inside a barrel and put a burner inside bringing it up to around 1500 F and the paint wouldn't burn on the outside of the barrel. We were doing raku and didn't need it higher. It isn't as good as batting though, and since it is kaolin, it melts at about 3000 (a faint memory.)
I know how hard to find which guy has the brain this week. You know, they take turns and nobody ever tells anybody else which floor or which shift the brain will turn up on.
First, collect the best information. That means a good camera and exact positioning. If you don't use a good camera, you won't get good edges. If you don't position it accurately, your edges won't end up in the right place. So I expect that webcam housings will be just too difficult to work with. ALSO, usb cables the length you will have to use are dodgy. All you are interested in is the luma channel, don't worry about colors. Maybe you ought to use super vhs cam output and capture only luma with several dedicated cards. As you know, the svhs cable carries luma separately. Also,, if you use this setup, you can vary the compression. If you use a DV setup, you are stuck with 3:1 Your project sounds awesome.
A surface treatment was discovered in Isreal last year that uses an arrangement of spheres. The REALLY cool thing about it is that by spacing the spheres the right way to tune the wavelength, you can change the color. V-cute
So he didn't stay in place. Somebody saw that he had no talent for his job and promoted him.
Once he was no longer in the position, did he need the knowledge that he was supposed to have had? Can I guess and say probably not? You need a different skill set for a different job. Maybe he's in charge of wireless squirrel networking now.
So once he got promoted, your issue should have been settled. Don't let it bother you. Since when did somebody in H R have a clue anyway?
What I hate is people who think that life is an analogy for baseball.:-))
How retarded are these people? I'll bet they all have cordless phones at home.
I just wish the wireless signal would even reach my classroom laptop. The walls are solid concrete with tons of rebar and the signal is soooooooo weak I will probably kill myself in frustration before I die from cancer.
How many current desktop OSs can run.exe files? ha ha ha ha ha ha It doesn't matter if you run as administrator since the machine can install the file without your permission.
really. If I recall, Science mentioned that a new technology would make a tricorder-like device to exist. I don't have my subscription anymore. (boo hoo) Perhaps somebody with one would do a search? It was a few months ago.
DTV isn't a pipe dream. Unfortunately, broadcast TV is suffering from years of declining income. They are deathly afraid of making a wrong move.
Several are thinking of distributing free DTV tuners. It is a big move for what amounts to a small local business. They have been dragging their feet on implementing the standard waiting for some leadership to emerge.

The great majority of users treat a computer as an appliance. Passive consumers of content. Meat.
