No burning black powder means no smoke drifting over the residential neighborhoods, plus a safer show. Best of all the new system is more precise and can launch shells higher than black powder, enabling spectacular new effects.
But I like watching the billows of smoke drifting across the river! And if the fireworks go any higher, I won't be able to watch them from my computer desk! They'll be blocked by the balcony of the apartment above mine!
The SHA-0 collision technique cannot be applied to SHA-1.
Way back in 1993, SHA-0 was published by one of the TLA government agencies. Less than a year later, they published SHA-1, which is SHA-0 with a modification they didn't bother to explain, and a note that SHA-0 was no longer recommended. It appears that the purpose of the modification was to block this exact attack.
I seem to remember SkyLab being two Saturn-V shots in the Apollo Applications program. In the 1970s.
Skylab was essentially the third stage of a Saturn V, put up in a single piece. This was followed up by four service flights launched on Saturn IB rockets. These service flights carried crew and supplies, and in the case of the first one, an umbrella to replace the Skylab insulation that had been damaged on liftoff.
It was calculating leap-years. I actually stared at it in shock, imagining how much time and energy this kid spent figuring out the worlds most assinine way to figure out if it's leapyear. I would have just wrote "if (year%4 == 0) { days_in_feb=29; }" or something of the sort. I wouldnt write "if (!(year%4)) {};" because perfoming boolean tests on integers is another pet peeve, it doesn't improve the code, just detracts slightly from its readability.
I'm currently borrowing a laptop with 98 installed, to write my dissertation. Open word, a few IEs, and a couple remote desktop windows, and the machine runs out of resources. Not memory, Resources, like file and window handles. Win98 has a limited number of these (64k?), while the NT line of kernels have, you know, 4 billion.
Games usually don't use much in the way of GDI or User resources -- they just pop up a fullscreen window to keep the window manager happy, and talk directly with DirectX or OpenGL. For non-gaming work, I dual-boot Gentoo.
I'm still running Win98 as well, but my incentive to upgrade has arrived: Doom 3 only runs on 2k or xp.
Is that the real limit, or are those just the "officialy supported" OSs? I know of (and play) several games that are supposedly 2K/XP only on my 98SE box.
you shouldn't, unless you plan to upgrade your hardware too.
Actually, my next computer will probably be running it too. There's a hack to get around the 768MB limit, and my understanding is that 98SE will simply ignore any CPUs beyond the first, so I shouldn't have any trouble.
The term Intel used was EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction-set Computing). The idea was to let the compiler select which instructions should be executed at the same time, rather than have the CPU decide. Supposedly, letting the compiler take all the time it needs to select the best packets gives a much faster CPU than having the CPU decide on the fly.
Given that the power output of a single-core Prescott is 100 watts or more, a dual-core with separate caches will put out 200+ watts. Clock up the speed a bit more, and you'll be at about 300 watts.
I figure that's probably enough to boil a cup of coffee.
A "John Doe" suit is filed when you don't know the name of the defendant, but you believe you do have sufficient other information to identify the person.
The heatsink supplied with the XP1800 was horrible. A tiny all-aluminum sink with a high-speed 60x15 fan just doesn't cut it for cooling that CPU. I've heard that the 2200+ and beyond have decent stock heatsinks, but I haven't verified that myself.
A six-meter rock, if it doesn't break up in the atmosphere, will make a respectable crater -- maybe even knock down a few buildings. If it does break up, the fragments won't be big enough to leave craters, but can still hit hard enough to damage buildings or kill people.
Rasterman has even given a glimpse of the power these libs will bring to the programmer with his own version of a DVD player, using the EFL, in just 17 lines of code!
That's nothing. I'm sure a Perl hacker could do it in one line.

It's a very shallow pyramid -- each layer only interacts with the ones immediately above and below it -- but even so, the bottom layer gets screwed.
Stick it to the advertisers and get a free ipod [freeipods.com]
So you're suggesting we should sign up for an advertiser-supported pyramid scheme, giving you a free iPod, as a way of "sticking it to the Man"?
I don't get it.
It's even better if the professor doesn't specify the thickness of the card. I once went in with a cheat sheet on a 3x5x1 card.
When's the last time you chose a toaster based on its technical specs?
About two months ago. I wanted one that would make a decent slab of toast -- there are very few toasters that can handle an inch-thick slice of bread.

"[W]hat is the incentive to upgrade?"
I want to know that too. I'm running Win98SE without any trouble. Why should I upgrade to Longhorn?
You could send a message to the Linux Kernel Mailing List.

But a hyperthreaded CPU reports to the OS as two CPUs, which caused the problems.
Winamp 5 is Winamp 2 + Winamp 3's skinning abilities. Hence the name.
I like skinning because it lets me turn whatever unusable monstrosity the developer thought was "cool" back into something usable.
I also like skinning because it's a suitable punishment for those developers.
I'm using Winamp 2 skins on XMMS. Am I vulnerable to this?
