The stability of WinXP is certainly impressive compared to earlier versions, but I'm constantly reminded of the weird things that happen with it autonomously on a weekly basis. For example, now, when I try to ping another machine, I get a dialog box saying "The procedure entry point could not be located in [...] KERNEL32.dll."
You have it the wong way around. The Internet as we know it was built by it's users, although admittedly, it was originally started by a bunch of scientists hired by the DoD.
If they magically release the bestest OS evah with Vista, outperforming OSX, IIS totally devastating LAMP, offering the best and easiest and fastest to use GUI ever, delivering an API that will make developers the world over dance for five days, boasting rock solid stability even on the most egregious hardware mismatches with nothing but beta-quality drivers, and offering enough tweakability to make even the most hardcore Gentoo ricer cry... then yes, I will personally eat my hat and make five prayers a day towards Redmond.
But the coders aren't happy, and the release date is getting pushed back again. We all already know exactly what it really will be.
Yes, but in the future when 10 million people watch the opening ceremony of the olympics in streaming HD quality on the net, a few of these pipes will come in handy. Besides, access times are limited by that damn speed of light anyway.
A byte has been 6 bytes on some systems in the distant past, and probably other variations too. If you want a guaranteed unambiguous term, use octet, as used in RFC's.
Yeah, it can get a bit boring after a while. I just did it as quickly as I could, so I'd get through it faster, before my attention would start to drift.
No really, all I need to do is look at the resulting forms that are sent to me and approve them by not doing anything at all with them, if they're correct.
So far so easy. What I don't get is how this simple circuit relates to processing an audio signal through a ring oscillator. In those, for every frequency f you feed in, you get an output f+a and f-a, where a is the frequency of the ring oscillator. In other words giving in a pure sine wave of 200Hz gives you an output of, say 220Hz and 180Hz, or any other pair of values centered on the original 200Hz.
<OT> While I'm at it, by discarding one of the signals, you get a strange-sounding frequency shifter, in that lower frequencies are shifted relatively more than higher (20+20=40Hz, one octave higher, but 1000+20=1020Hz, just barely out of tune).
In fact, this is how the radio voices in Star Wars were done in the old days, IIRC.

Resonably modern TV's (at least in Europe) can handle both 50Hz and 60Hz just fine. Even something considered an old TV can probably handle it. The problem is probably that the color information is transmitted on a different subfrequency.

I'd say the people who complain endlessly and needlessly about 1-3 have simply forgotten how to be a child.
For a Hollywoodization, I thought it was pretty good. Watered-down, perhaps, but I liked the general mood a lot.
Interesting...

So technically, it was the Japanese who liberated Europe?

No, it's tradition, it's always been like this: block device (hd, cd, dvd) = bytes, streams of bits (serial port, dsl, ethernet, mp3's)= bits.

I ween, I ween! :)
Aah, now that explains my confusion perfectly.
Yes, but ... with dashes?? I thought slashes were common for the American way, I've only seen dashes used in straightforward formats so far.
Please tell me no-one actually writes like that.
So, since when does Windows come with Sendmail by default? I mean, that's what the bug is all about.
But that's how it usually works in the simple case, with no deductions or weird incomes.

No, it's a 404: real linky
