You can thank Ralph Nader for that one, But I guess Personal political gains are more important to him than the Environment and current energy crunch, If it wasn't for his turning the environmental groups against our one real hope for clean Energy, we would actually have clear skies, probably Electric cars, since an abundance of near-free Electricity would allow for Cars using higher density methods of storage even if recharging them required huge amounts of "wasted" energy.
The reason Morse code proficiency is required is HAM's are meant to be an ad-hoc communications network in the event the proverbial shit hits the fan, and after the thermonuclear EMP has fried all your microchips and shit, you need a way to communicate, and morse Code over radio is able to function without fancy electronics,
FGLRX has one flaw that I have found, it always picks your monitors highest possible refresh rate no matter how many times you set your config file to use one step down (at 75 hz my monitor loses the signal periodically, at 72 it works perfectly, guess which refresh rate FGLRX uses)
Note to self, Never purchase an EA title. I think Ill stick to Epic, Atari and Digital Extereams (the people behind UT) hell one of the official UT2K3 patches removed CD-check
especially when the "slightly less quality" performs better for a major portion of the market, Rambus sucks for gaming, alot of RAM is purchased for gaming (what you think I have a Gig of ram so i can open 250 copies of notepad with no swapfile?)
I liked Nokia's old phones, the 5185i is large and brick-like, but once you get used to the interface you can even memorize the number sequence for frequently used features (set alarm= Nav-7-1-1) the new phones with the damned icons/ side scroll menus suck.
Why the hell does updating anti-virus software require a reboot? hell Anti-vir doesn't even require a full restart of the application, after downloading the update the control program unloads the service, updates it, then reloads it. There have been times that Anti-vir failed to protect me, but that has been true of every virus scanner i have tried and so far. Anti-Vir uses minimal system resources unike certain scanners *cough* MacAffe *caugh* that result in ~20% performance loss due to dain bramaged config options (Anit-Vir lets you exclude processes from scanning, so i don't have to turn it off before playing games)
I don't like Kerry that much, I hope He does win and put Spitzer in the AG office, just as I don't mind Bush but will vote against him due to Ashcroft.
I never said the amount of power taken would be physically meaningful, the problem would be in the runners minds, they would either refuse to wear it or be discouraged thinking power will be taken to power the unit, now if they included a "battery" and a notice that the battery would probably last longer than the shoe, and thus not to worry about it, along with a piezio or kinetic system the shoe would be great.
no, the battery makes it active, if the system is powered and controlled by it's environment it is a passive system, if it does shit on it's own it is active
A serious runner would not use a shoe that absorbed any kinetic energy, doesn't matter if the amount is insignificant, the problem would be psychological, thinking that their shoe was taking power from their stride
I never said C(++) was faster than $LANGUAGE in fact I am always one of the first to object when people trash Java as slow. What is slow is when programmers are lazy. I referred to TI-86 Basic because often there are a few ways to get a task done, but one way significantly faster. On higher end machines the difference is more subtle, slow the machine by a fraction of a second, small enough that a single module isn't slower due to the poor design, but the whle system is alot slower.
You sound like you are wrapped up in the whole BS concept that all code should be made for reuse. Code should be written to accomplish a goal, If that goal is to easily included in other programs to save time of other coders (such as GTK+, etc.) then yes, make it interface well, If the goal of the program is to do accounting, write it to do the accounting functions required, and maybe build it so it can be updated easily, but for $DEITY's sake don't make it with the intent of replacing every accounting and spreadsheet app out there unless that was what whoever is paying you needs.
A well-designed program (such that doesn't exist) wouldn't feel like it had been programmed. It would feel like it had been shaped.
Well, I'm not a CS major, just program as a hobby sometimes, but I believe the solution is simple, though cruel, include a mandatory, two semester component on TI-86 programming. when every statement takes an appreciable amount of time to execute you quickly learn to program in ways that speed up interface response.
you mean your class didn't talk about it right after the test? we didn't discuss the details, mostly joking about parts, I wish i had access to the AP Fish Class, I SO wanted to include a predator class that ate other fish and got bigger.
Implementation is just picky details.
It's that sort of thinking that has led to the horribly bloated and slow apps we have today, loading applications and getting work done isn't any faster than it was in the 180mhz days
Slashdot Mirror
I think this would also make Chipped playstations/Xboxes fully legal, as running linux on the Xbox and playing backup copies of games is legal
64 8-bit cores each with it's own memory addressing
If slashdot starts a collection, everyone puts in $5 and OSDN buys the patent, then sue the RIAA for putting out fake files

Don't use additional skins, running fire* with a skin made it use twice as much RAM

nah i was just up all night and bored. wasn't particularly fast acting on it
web site is operating fine, they blocked /. referred loads, just go up to your navigation bar and type in the URL
MSDN comes with a 10 site license Key

easy, pull all decisions from /dev/rand

How is that new? I noticed that when i was 5 in the ripples while taking a leak.
