No you must be misunderstanding me. I'm usually a speed demon, but if I see a red light ahead I simply take my foot off the gas. The hope being that I will never have to come to a complete stop and byt the time I get to the light it will have changed to green and I can go right through, easily beating the people in the other lane who have to accelerate from zero since they were stopped at the light.
Overall travel time can be decreased in this way by avoiding stopping since acceleration takes time it is better to decelerate as little as possibly and to do it over a longer timespan.
I think its funny when some dumb ass stuck behind me passes me, speeds up and then stops at the red light, and if I'm lucky it turns green before I even get there and I can avoid using my brakes at all.
Why do people race to get to the stop light. Now if its a stop sign where you will have to stop no matter what, the incentive to coast is slightly less since you will stop no matter what. And reaching the stop sign faster actually decreases the time to your destination.
In fact, in general I try to use my brakes as little as possible. If I see a car ahead of me braking I just take my foot off the gas. Usually it was only a momentary application of the brakes to let some one in or some one who is anal about staying below the speed limit. If the brake stays on I will apply my brake but most of the time it is a very short brake burst that I see so I win by not pressing my brakes.
That actually sounds like a good compromise in that case. Allow compression routines to be patented, but not the decompression routine. Since the decompresser is useless without compressed content. the patent owner is guaranteed money from the compressor but does get to lock up content with licensing fees cus no one can pay to decompress their own stuff.
There is a rather simple and very strong solution. You make video games bootable DVDs (at least for tournament play). They build in the vendor supplied drivers,the needed directx/windows crap or linux/opengl crap. You have a game as OS type system that is much harder to hack cus the system simply cant run anything else. The programs themselves could be tampered with, but the server could request a hashes of certain portions of the program or what not. Much more secure than todays stuff, though still probably vulnerable to attack.
I assume tournaments with good money would just provide the PCs pre loaded and allow the gamer his choice of monitor and peripherals. with some ammount of time to configure any in game settings.
why not have a cable that is buoyant such that it floats just a few hundred feet (or whatever safety margin is wanted) or so off the sea floor. If you wanted to avoid the problems of the sea floor I imagine that at those depths there arent too many large things to run into it.. but who knows.
After the first ball breaks wouldn't you actually want to go up by 2 each time in the linear part of the algorithm since the break/non break at floor n and n+2 can tell you the answer at n + 1.
I know its just a constant factor but we are going for the absolute best answer.
I dont know if anyone has truly captured the complexity of going up and down the building to test, but I assume someone else can stay at the bottom to check if the ball broke.
There have been few occasions where someone yawned in my presence or even over the phone that didn't initiate a yawn for myself. Even as I finished that sentenced I just yawned! To me it seems very likely that the yawn reflex is communicable. It seems very easy to get some one to yawn... just yawned again... of course it is 8 am and I got only a few hours sleep last night.
actually you can. you just have to be hard core like the military. I work for a military contractor (a university research lab) we received an email telling us to not use word documents what so ever for a certain period of time. and if we didnt comply we lose our contracts. all attachments were being made in rich text format, some of the non techies were scrambling to figure out how to do it but life went on.
not trying to excuse microsoft for their shitty product, just saying you can tell people to stop using word for a few weeks if there are real consequences.
nuke(fission), geothermal(gravity/fission), tidal(moon gravity). I can't use regular hydro cus it took sunlight to evaporate the water so it would rain over land.
I was hoping for some idea like slapping an X gate FPGA onto the package of a regular processor, and then if in later testing it is deemed to have a bad cache line, or floating point unit. it could be reimplemented in the FPGA section and wired in, possibly increasing yields. Though these would certainly be lower quality parts they would atleast be functionally correct, if a bit slower.
But I dont know. Something tells me that if there is a hardware problem(not a hardware design problem) then it is likly that there will be others on the same chip, due too some non uniform distribution of impure silicon. and it wouldnt be long before there are too many corrections to fit in the fpga.
I don't believe its possible for a truly thoughtful paper to be written in ink on the first try in one hour. I'm a horrible writer, but isn't writing about introspective thought projection not speed script from your hand?
You left out perfect sim - This sim has a gun with perfect aim for your head every shot. Yeah he kicked my ass....except when I used the laptop sentry gun. lol

While the system may not be perfect, consoles games are still less "cheatable" than pc games so their methods should be used.

plugins->offline message emulation... I think you need gaim open for it to work though.
:-)
better than nothing though
Adium is the mac OS X native client.
There are plugins for OTR/encryption but I hear those are broken at the moment.
I agree on the voice/video, they promised it for 2.0 but I'm going to give them some slack their aol legal dispute excuse seems to be genuine
you mean libpurple ;-)

No state goes 90% even Utah only goes like 60-70% for bush. Most "land slides" are 55% to 45% votes

You RTFA?????? It doesn't appear in the summary is the point.
computer or console RPG according to wikipedia. I had to look it up too. I've never heard that one before.

There are no links to the actual news story... surely this was covered in the local paper or something???
This one convinced me a long time ago!
