I think capsela, with one 'l' and an 'e,' but I'm no more sure than most other people. I still have all my stuff from capsel(l)a, and it all works except for the battery holder that comes with it. I've had to take another standard type battery kit and just manually connect the red and blue wires. Other than that, it still works and does neat stuff.
What are zoids? I may have seen them, but what I'm thinking of is more of a geometrical set, with different shapes and lengths of plastic rods.
As far as I can tell, they've never gone away. I got a couple sets when I was younger (late 80s, early 90s). Thye came with the normal stuff of the older kits, according to my Dad. In addition, they had some fancy add-ons, like a battery powered wrench/misc. tool that is basically a lot like a child-size version of the cordless drills that are available today. I still have my kit in the closet, and I get it out and tinker once in a while. It's in a bright red and yellow plastic suitcase type box, that has holes for all the different types. I wonder what the real meaning of Brio's reintroduction is. Is it merely a more intensive advertising campaign, to make them more popular?
Well, back at least with AOL 3, the software could automatically install updates. They could probably add a lockout feature with no more than a few hundred KB of updates to existing clients. If they release a binary patch, it could be rather hard to figure out what they did, and they could just keep changing it every time it's cracked.
While it may not be illegal under the DMCA, I'd be surprised if it didn't violate AOL's licensing and terms of service. In order to effectively reverse engineer the protocol, you'd have to have an account to try connecting to, and to have an account, you need to have agreed to their license. Has anybody seen the AOL license recently and looked for a clause like this?
Sorry, I don't think and write together all the time. I realize that the MPs are the only ones certified for dual-procs, and the others should work. Sorry about that.
Unfortunately, I doubt that you'll be able to do SMP with these. The only Athlons that AMD has released that are compatible with the Dual-processor boards are those in the Athlon MP line, which, if I'm not mistaken, goes up to 1.2GHz right now.
Their success hasn't stopped, so it is still more appropriate to use present perfect. Using the past perfect generally implies that the condition no longer exists, as in "Mark McGwire had been the home run record holder until Barry Bonds broke the record."

As an American, I use imperial measurements, and don't particularly have any strong preference to one or the other. As for your comment about fractions...if one doesn't need to use them at all, then what's the point in learning them?
But then Joe User takes his.wma file, renames it to.ram, and expects it to work in Real Audio.:) The problem is not the file extensions, it is what is configured to handle those file types. Even then, this isn't much of a problem. If someone is intelligent enough to make a decision that they want to use RealJukebox to open mp3s rather than WMP, then they're intelligent enough to click the little checkbox during installation that says "Associate this program with.mp3 files"
Oh no! Somebody accidentally embedded the auto-nuke-self-destruct macro into their powerpoint presentation. Now it's launching without a warning. Take cover...Bill's finally defeated the U.S. government.
I'm convinced he is guilty. But kill him, and 3 new ones will step into his shoes.
That is racism. Every Islamic Arab is NOT a potential terrorist. That's like saying in 1939 (or whenever): "Why kill Nazis? For every one you kill, you just create 3 more of them." It wasn't true then, and it's not true now.
Only, it very nearly may be true. If the US kills bin Laden, then his child(ren), friends, etc. begin to hate the US with an even greater passion for killing their father/friend/whatever. Then when one or more of them goes off and does something radical, we kill him and his friends get pissed off. Such might actually work.
As far as the Nazis go, that may have been even more true. Some Germans may not have been supportive of the Nazis until the Allied Forces slaughtered their neighbors. While those Germans may not have been sympathetic with genocide as a goal, they'd at least enter the armed forces to avenge the deaths of their friends.
I think that financial support of the Northern alliance so that they can depose the Taliban would have been a much better option.
The only thing to be afraid of with this is the possibility of the Northern Alliance taking control of the country, and then still not supporting America. America gave bin Laden, among others, aid to fight off the Russians, and they have since turned against the US. In order to ensure stability and prevent future incidents, the US either has to control Afghanistan itself, be it through military rule, or some weak puppet, or become such a good ally to them that we view Afghanistan as a reliable ally, as much as we do Great Britain. In my opinion, the latter is not particularly likely in the near future, so I'd assume that Bush and co. are leaning towards something closer to the former.
Well, that's because JPG is a compression format, while BMPs are exact data, with a color specified for each pixel. (There are multiple color depths for bitmaps, so one could make it much larger or mush smaller, and with correspondingly many shades and tints.)
Unrealistically, only one person chose to return to the Matrix.
I think this was realistic, actually. The people who left the matrix were chosen for their purpose, and did so knowingly,for the purpose of stopping it. If everyone in the matrix were instantly removed, and had the option to go back, I'd agree with you, and say many would. But only a select group was removed.
Tell your boss to use it if he likes it. I'm not quite sure what you mean by production-ready. A browser isn't exactly a mission-critical application, and I can deal with it failing once in a while. Under linux right now, mozilla seems to be the best solution for me. It has better readability than Netscape 4.7, even though it's not as stable and robust. Most of what I want to see in a browser is readability, having it render pages fairly well, and being able to read text.
Hmm...sorry if it passed you by, but I mentioned "That would be hilarious" at the beginning of the sentence, saying it would be funny. This is if it were done by MS, and them using the exploit, rather than downloading and installing a patch through normal update mechanisms. (Though, in fact, it may be automatically installed anyway if their normal update patches for macintosh are.hqx's)
That would be hilarious. Even if it weren't in X-10 pop-up banners, but just some site at microsoft where they used the exploit to patch the exploit...genius.
Well, considering that Mozilla is still in pre-release stage (hence the 1 version numbers), and IE is now at version 5-6, I can accept this. At a pre-release stage, there ought to be many bug reports, and I'm sure if you find a list of bug reports for IE betas, you'll find just as many.

A couple years ago, my school switched from the Linux webserver that I had been administrating to a Mac server. Our site is now running on an iMac, I believe, using AppleShareIP. Naturally I did not support this change, as they've jumped years backwards in technology (and made a new site that's horrible to boot). However, I suppose one advantage of this is a little bit of security for obscurity. Because nobody's stupid enough to run a website off of an iMac, nobody wastes his time trying to find exploits for such a small target audience.
