I was at Best Buy one day when my friend shoplifted behind my back, and now I'm perma-banned from Best Buy, you know what, FUCK THEM! Circuit City is cheaper anyway, and nicer too, and you know what else? Fuck asshat cops, because they are fucktards who are DAMN PIECES OF SHIT. FUCK THE MOTHERFUCKING SYSTEM DAMNIT!! I didn't do anything wrong, fuck them to hell. I would like to state, I have applied for a JOB there only a short two weeks before! WHY THE FUCKING HELL WOULD I SCREW UP A CHANCE FOR A JOB?! I mean, I'm still unemployed...
For those with Linux searching for the most perfect RPN calculator, I have found it! Galculator, a free open-source GTK2 driven application fills the gap that is created by the absense of a HP calculator. I do hate that I own a TI-89 and not a nice new HP 49G+ due to extensive use of galculator I have come to love RPN during the conclusion of my high school junior year. So I say unto thee:
May your entity of lack thereof save RPN. (use galculator or if you use Debian, apt-get install galculator)
I love computers, I love tinkering, I'd love to get a part-time IT job while I'm still in my junior year of high-school, but most of all, I'd love to think there is a market for my skill. After observing what my father has done, I've decided that a degree in EE will suffice for a wide range of jobs. My dad's title has changed from Electrical Engineer to Senior Engineer, to Systems Engineer in the last 5 years. If you have a broad skill base, you should be able to find a job of some sort that you like.
I've noticed many retail stores (Sam's Club, Walmart, Lowes, and quite a few more) use TUIs for POS programs on more advanced cash registers that use DOS on sometime monochrome displays and sometimes... sometimes, are older than I. TUIs aren't gone, but with Windows, many advancements don't typically occur since DOS has extreme limitations placed on it. If bash was running on many computers, ncurses, aalib, and mnay other projects can well justify the use of a TUI. I have, in fact, used TUIs to do anything over SSH when I'm away from home, playing music with MP3blaster, programming with motor, IRC with irssi, Instant messaging with centericq, and many various TUI webbrowsers ass well as mutt for e-mail. With Linux, TUIs will probably never disappear since many projects are still advancing, and with mplayer compiled with the aalib, the Matrix lobby scene never looked so sweet.
Note how Nintendo made their controller, it was nice, ergonomic, and even quite comfy. The problem was that Nintendo designed it for a small hand, the result was a controller great for my little sister, but a little awkward for a person with larger hands. I'm saying that, "Does it really matter what the manufacturer makes?" Won't we all go buy better, more feature rich controllers from a third-party vendor anyway? Will we even care how much it costs to rent a crane to move the Xbox 2? We will just see.
Bad thing is that you didn't read the article you linked...
"Mr. Van Smith, editor of Van's Hardware, spoke with Mr. Damon Muzny of AMD after this issue became more widely discussed in various forums across the Internet in 2001. In Mr. Smiths article, "AMD Confirms JPEG Issue", July 21, 2001, AMD spokesman Damon Muzny confirmed this problem. According to Mr. Muzny "...the testing methods in past production cycles of the AMD-K6(R), AMD Athlon(TM) and AMD Duron(TM) processor families did not detect a small number of processors that exhibited a minor manufacturing issue that could potentially cause the distortion of JPEG images or MPEG audio/video. The issue is not design related and has been addressed through additional manufacturing tests AMD has implemented.""
By the way, I've used all of the listed processors there, and even ran a K6-2 233 in a laptop at 100% for 4 days without problems. I've also completed video encoding on a few videos on that processor too.
From the site listed, a manufacturing process, not the processor design was to fault for. AMDs still do the same as a faster Intel due to the processor design.
May I now list you as a dumbass, I never said that there weren't errors, but Intels screw up calculations all the time. The structure itself isn't is as efficient... dumbass
I've always liked the idea of replacing eyes with cameras that would support IR and zoom capabilities, most importantly, implants to let the blind see.
AMD's are only labeled like that because AMD has a more efficient processor. Intels can run the same data multiple times and not get the right output, but an AMD can nail it in one shot.
I did, I had over 50 days up, and when I ran SETI@home at 100% for 4 days, it overheated and crashed, the screen blanked and would not turn on, and the HDD was in a constant writing mode, overwriting most important things by the time I discovered the problem.
Spend the credit card limit, when they try to collect, sue Visa for millions, then sue the submitter, and Visa some more... only if revenge was that sweet...:(
Last time I had ran SETI@home on my AMD 233 MHz laptop, it overheated, crashed, detroyed the password file, corrupted the kernel, and erased a directory... I think RAM wrote itself to the HDD somehow when the CPU crashed... At anyrate, I had a reinstall to do after only 1 reply.
Ok, you win! But I'm still cheap and have no job... so pirating would be my only other option, but I prefer not to (although those huge business bastards need to learn simple economics of supply and demand)
Lexmark sucks... they have a ethernet driven printer that has a (quoting from lexmark e-mail) "It is a Lexmark
proprietary build that requires Lexmark's TCP port monitor for
communication". I call this crap, since for me to use it in linux I'd have to build a driver, and I don't even build complex programs!

VIM for life, syntax coloring makes everything easy enough for anyone who can do some scripting... GOD SAVE VIM.

Mmm... figs... .... .....
Meet you after I delve into this jar of fig preserves...
5 times 12 is equal to 60 + 7 = 67, meaning you are a short, 5 feet and 6 inches. Isn't the male national average about 5' 8"?
It has a fairly good fan, and it had been running for over 45 days at that time, so I tried SETI@home.
I did, I had over 50 days up, and when I ran SETI@home at 100% for 4 days, it overheated and crashed, the screen blanked and would not turn on, and the HDD was in a constant writing mode, overwriting most important things by the time I discovered the problem.
I used this on my laptop/server, and overheated it, and crashed it, and corrupted my HDD, and had to reinstall the operating system.

Closest power plant to me is nuclear. Figure how much radiation that would be.

I know it's a Clear Channel station, but they have good music. Their stations says they are a Clear Channel station high atop smoke tree tower :)
