hate to break it to you, but in many applications it is the algorithms that are written in assembly and only the control code that is left in higher languages.
The term 2-D barcode is misleading. They are little squares. I know I have seen them used in store products in addition to the normal UPC barcode. I think better nomenclature would be "Pixelcode" or "Squarecode". A barcode is already 2-D, the information is just encoded in one dimension.
The problem with your arguement is that the relative amounts of resources are not equal. I'll submit that perhaps it costs double first class postage to mail a letter from NYC to LA. I'll even accept that it costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $2. Fine. Now think about the difference in resources between an average user downloading at 16 kbps for 2 hours per day versus an excessive user downloading at 512 kbps 24 hours per day. That is quite a few more orders of magnitude difference.
The unlimited local calling analogy breaks down in that even though I could physically talk on my phone for a whole month I would still only be tying up one circuit. Using a high speed internet account excessively is analogous to calling someone on your phone and then walking over to a few of your neighbors' houses and using their phones at the same time.
I did some googling for Orkut. Found out that the namesake of it, Orkut Whatevahislastnameis, went to Stanford, has some sort of music group, and now has a internet dating service run by google. Good grief. Reminds me just a little too much of that kid in high school trying to pack as much as possible on to his college applications.
no man. he is right. you are missing out on some higher level thought skills. think about this for a second: much of modern mathematical techniques and a good portion of engineering design was discovered before calculators existed.
I was seriously planning a quiet night at home compiling test 9 right before I read this. I was going to stop at the store on the way and pick up a nice bottle of wine, one of those claim jumper tv dinners that feeds a small army, maybe some candles.
release 11 - good grief, this changes everything.

Or the hackers/crackers have just given the individuals who worked on this camera a two year extension on their contracts so that they can develop reliable security. Its all about how you look at it.
Even without his armies and factories he is still a wizard and thats saying something. Gandalf has no factories nor armies but he is instrumental in the war against Sauron. Its slipshod to just end his role with the Ents tossing rocks at Isengard.
the point is that in general iPod is the best player, but if one of those five criteria the author pointed out to you is very important (ie you must have 15 hours of battery life on a single charge) you might want to consider getting a different player.
its like an engineering problem; there are choices which work most of the time, but situations vary and so should your choices.
Its a popup window. Its annoying yes. Its a feature that is being abused. To the best of my knowledge it cannot be used to damage your PC. Its not really a security hole.
As a student I have to deal with "intergenerational consistency" in teaching. One of the most noticeable trends I have seen is that lecturers who have been teaching the same course for several years begin to think of increasing amounts of the material as self evident. The most extreme case I saw of this was a one week review of "the basics" before going into 9 weeks of advanced material. This was in an Introductory course.
I am sure that more than a few slashdotters have had the experience of using a past exam for review material only to find the difficulty on the actual one substantially greater.
you took the words right out of my mouth. every comment made like that completely invalidates a few dozen articles relating to corporations are stripping us of our personal freedoms.
Of course height is a requirment for management positions. How are you supposed to get your lackeys, i mean subordinates, to work unless you are taller than them?
duh...

i like ascii art goatse. its like seeing an old friend in a new way.

you can buy MatLab for Linux. I think there is even a RedHat specific version.

as in Lotus Notes
as in the worst email client ever

Who do you think gets involved with the mob? I'll give you a clue: It's not the guys on the Dean's List at MIT.
read quicksilver. there are original gangsta geeks in it.

I think she was referring to 4H, local city council, PTA, that sort of thing, when she said "participating in the local community".

So they can find a virus which kills off cancer cells, but we still don't have a cure for cancer.
Oh wait...
Genetic experimentation? all he did was 1. cut tomato plant 2. cut tobacco plant 3. tape them together
I posting right now using lynx on my sliderule.

that hits sort of close to home as my driver side window doesn't roll up.
on the other hand it took me 5 minutes of googling to find out how to fix it.
The only time I have had a PC become infected by a virus is my work computer which runs on a vastly microsoft dominated network.
