I know, I was thrilled that my new macbook still had some cool factor a month later! Although I do sometimes wish I could have waited for merom processors or had a reason to pay the extra $200 for the black paint job...Still, i love my new toy and other people drool over it
Except you will eventually get to n+k flips. The king may never flip the chalice but as long as the prisoners keep being called you can reach any number. It isn't the most efficient way to escape, which would require n flips, but it will work.
As others pointed out there is a big difference between farenheit and celsius, however 10^9 celsius vs 10^9 kelvin is a difference of 293 degrees (ugh, my physics professors will hunt me down if I got that wrong but I'm too lazy to check at the moment)
So the difference between celsius and kelvin is trivial in the plasma ranges, celsius and farenheit still has a difference, but no one in their right mind uses farenheit to measure plasma temperatures anyway.
I hear stories from friends who do in house development of web apps that use.NET. I have never seen one out in the open but apparently they are pretty popular in some industries because they are easy and quick to create and also powerful. Especially medical and insurance industries from what I am told.
Is that other's experience that these things are currently just used in house where.NET is widely deployed? Can we expect to see them being exported to the unwashed masses in the future?
Actually I researched this point recently, what has been cracked is genuine advantage. If you have one legitimate system you can run the genuine advantage program on it to get a passing number, then you feed that into microsoft's web form and it lets you download. It isn't a way to make a an illegal system be legitimate, it will just let you pass the check once and must be rerun each time you want to download something that requires the check.
Some more hints. Create a strong privacy policy that says you won't sell your customer list for any reason.
You are running a mailing list, so having people forget to unselect that option while signing up for your web site is sort of expected. I wouldn't class that as spam.
Also for images in emails. None of those 1x1 pixel images that are just for tracking, but if you are selling a product and want to show a large image, that's acceptable to link back to the web. Again, annoying, but acceptable. A better solution is just to encourage people to click through, but that will be a smaller percentage.
A lot of how you craft emails depends on your customers and products, so I can't speak to that. However with a strong policy about what you will and won't do, you have a good start.
Look at what mailing lists you are subscribed to do. They are a bit of a pain to get on, easy to get off, they announce the volume of messages, they don't use any spam filter tricks. They are simply messages that you are putting out there for the recipient to use or abuse, no attempts to trick people into seeing them.
I've been playing http://barrenrealmsmud.com/ (a Merc based MUD) since 1996. It is a very different experience from a MMORPG. There you visualize the places you are in instead of someone else defining them. Its the difference between reading a book and watching a movie. No matter how well acted, the movie is always lacking that little bit that your imagination gave the book.
Also, since MUDs are a smaller community and you know everyone, you play for different reasons. I stopped actively trying to level a few years ago and now I go to hang out with my friends and talk. We have large discussions and really echo the chat nature fo the medium. These kind of group interactions I haven't seen in MMORPGs.
Someone else mentioned how joining a clan can help your MMORPG experience and that is true, just finding a group of people to interact with. I have made my friends over years so it isn't just about playing the game anymore. Most i have never met in person but we sometimes talk on the phone and sometimes there are real world gatherings. Sure, you can go out and grind levels if that is your thing, but that gets boring very quickly. I like to socialize and have fun and be mentally stimulated. When I want mindless entertainment I switch to some video game (currently GTA 3)
I have no idea what would be useful here although I would like to know, but I really just want to claim a first post since I have never done that before:)
Yeah, they were just trying to spare your feelings. Really, it is all about the magnitude, with use being completely secondary. In fact, sometimes they will just sit and admire an extremely small UID for hours, but no one ever marvels at how cleverly nicknamed you are.
(apologies for the many bad double entendres)
Up front, IANAL. However, you haven't paid Blizzard any money and they have the right (in most areas) to refuse you service for any reason.
Obviously this is them just being stupid, however, they don't have to give you an account and take your money. You haven't purchased anything from them yet.
The original owner needs to transfer the account to you, then, once the terms that the actual purchaser of the CD agreed to have been fulfilled, you can call and make as big a stink as you want.
Depending on what action on WMP 10 you like (i have never installed it so i can't say exactly how it behaves) but core media player makes me very happy. Controls from beside the clock, although it doesn't show the scrolling song title on the task bar like I remember winamp doing, but it shows it when minimized to the task bar.
Ok, i think I'm not making much sense I am very sick, but if you can decypher this, then enjoy.
We had an article recently about someone ?Belkin? releasing wi-max equipment. Since you are a geek, you should naturally go to the cutting edge to get away from the rabble of interference.
Failing that, stealing someone's connection, changing all of their channels to something else, setting up a co-op and centralizing the wireless, running wires, or building a faraday cage are all options of increasing annoyance.
I personally favor the wi-max route since it lets you play with something new and 802.11a just isn't that thrilling, although it would be perfectly viable if you just want it to work.
I do PGP sign my mail, at least whenever http://enigmail.mozdev.com/enigmail is updated for the latest version of http://mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/thunderbir d. I have found that it causes problems. AOL has classified some of my mails as spam because of the PGP signiture. Apparently they can't differentiate between a PGP sig and random characters to fool filters. It hasn't been reported that other mails have been lost for the same reason, but it seems like a valid assumption.
While I didn't get around to it the first time, I did just send my request for a linux version. Personally I use microsoft mappoint. its overpowerful as a trip planner, but it works. I'd love an open source one where I could fix the few problems that annoy me.
Drat, you beat me to it. I rushed in here to make that joke only to find it taken. How frustrating. Well, back to drilling holes in my skull. If I can't out type you, I can certainly out talk you. And if that fails, a slight boost and I will show you my impression of Emperor Pallpatine from Star Wars...
A rather short article: Removed
This article has been removed at the request of the news provider, Business Wire.
If I'd known/. links were so short I might have started reading the articles long ago. Well, live and learn
Also, I went to Business Wire and didn't immediately find the article there. Anyone found it? While I am not overly interested in hostile takeovers of companies I don't use, I am not a bit more interested because of the conspiracy to keep the knowledge hidden.
There is nothing saying an OTP HAS to be random, it just has to be used only once. You can use any series of characters, including 'aaaaaaa'. Of course if you do that then you are a fool, but chess experts are often considered fools, just highly intelligent fools, which are the best kind.
This has made me want a good game of chess, i was never as good as I'd like, but I did enjoy it. If only the computer would let me win occassionally, it is very hard on my ego.
I looked but could not find any screenshots of the preview release. The old versions are nice for their age, but I would like to see what has changed in 5 years. If any of you have screenshots, please post them, or if I just missed a link, post that too. Help the graphically challenged!
That said, what WMs do the rest of you use? I personally try to avoid Gnome or KDE because they are copies of windows, and I find that interface clunky. I like windowmaker, but I have strange taste in OSs, I also like gentoo:)
Last Wednesday I broke down and purchased Gentoo instead of trying to get the 1.5G to do a GRP install, so naturally, today, when I expect the disks to arrive, they release a new version. It must be monday...
Something disgustingly similar happened to me about 13 years ago, I was in the big train station in London, England with my family and what seemed like hundreds, but was probably just dozens, of pigeons swarmed around us, pooping. Looking back it is amusing, but I was not laughing at the time. Since then I am always leary of looking up at birds. I think I was hit about 10 times, but who knows how time has messed with my memory.
You, as a public citizen, have no duty to fight crimes against others. In this case, you are fighting the crime by using the blacklist, if the criminals are locked away from you and yours, then you have successfully fought the crime, what does it matter to you that innocents are also locked away?
This is effectively an embargo, although it is more selective than an entire country, refuse to trade with a group until it solves a problem, you are not hurting the group directly, you are just refusing to help them. Sure, it sucks to be innocently trapped by a blacklist, but you should take that as a message that there is a problem that needs solving and petition whomever has power to solve it, the rest of the world is doing exactly what it is supposed to, protecting itself.

Except that he cleaned the wall, he didn't add anything to it, it just so happened that he cleaned in a pattern and then stopped, if you don't like it, you can keep cleaning the wall, since by definition, a clean wall can not be "disfigured" by the addition of more cleaning.
I don't consider it vandalism or graffiti, it is an ad, but it is also a public service and unique. He should patent the idea and then sue the city whenever they try to clean a wall.

I assume it was just a typo, but you did say you bought an Intel core 2 duo and then ran AMD64 on it. That could be the source of the problems...

As a frequent mod, I have to ask. Who supplies this crack and why haven't I received my shipment?
