The reason why feminists are not attractive is becasue they don't want to be. Almost ANY woman can be physically attractive simply by TRYING. Body shapes don't matter whn confidence and effort are employed. I'm not saying they could be supermodels or sex goddesses, but they could be beutiful and physically attractive.
I ran into this same problem with SBC, until I checked the installation instructions for MacOSX. If you look there it tells you all the information you need to do it in Linux.
From the Apple menu (in the top-left corner of the screen), select System Preferences.
In the System Preferences window, select Network.
From the "Location" drop-down menu, select New Location. You will be asked to name your location. You should name it something simple that you will remember, like "SBCYahoo."
From the "Show" drop down menu, select Built-in Ethernet.
Next, click on the PPPoE tab and fill out the fields.
Check Connect Using PPPoE.
Under "Account Name," enter sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net.
In the "Password" field, enter sbcyahooreg (Please note that passwords are case sensitive. If you enter an incorrect password, OS X does not generate an error message.)
Click PPPoE Options.
Under "Session Options," make sure Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications is checked. The other Session Options choices are optional.
Under "Advanced Options," Send PPP echo packets should be checked.
Click OK.
Click Apply Now and close the window.
Open Internet Explorer (included with OS X) and type the following URL in the Address field: https://sbcreg.sbcglobal.net
Follow the directions on screen. When you are finished, write your new account information down and keep it in a safe place.
Once registration is complete, you'll need to enter your new account information in the "Network" settings under "System Preferences."
From the Apple menu, select System Preferences > Network.
Select the location that you created in Step 3.
From the "Show" drop down menu, select Built-in Ethernet.
Click on the PPPoE tab.
Make sure Connect using PPPoE is checked.
In the "Account Name" field, Delete sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net. Enter your SBC Yahoo! Member ID (your entire email address, e.g. YourMemberID@sbcglobal.net)
In the "Password" field, replace sbcyahooreg with your own SBC Yahoo! password. OS X saves your password by default. (Please note that passwords are case sensitive.)
Click Apply Now.
Close the window and open Internet Explorer to access the Internet. If your homepage doesn't automatically default to yahoo.sbc.com,you mayset it to do so at this time.
If you cannot access the Registration Site while following the procedure above, take these additional steps:
On your desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD icon.
Double-click the Applications folder.
Double-click the Internet Connect application.
In the "Configuration" drop-down menu, make sure that Built-in Ethernet is selected.
Ensure that sbcyahooreg@sbcglobal.net is displayed under the "Name" field.
Re-enter sbcyahooreg in the "Password" field (you must enter the password in lowercase).
Click Connect.
Once you are connected, open Internet Explorer and go to Step 9 above for registration instructions.
So, I see someone with Vista pride... It's not like Escondido, San Marcos or Valley Center are anything to write home about either. Encinitas and Carlsbad are nice, I guess... but that's mostly just because they were blessed with Coastlines. Now Oceanside... that's the real toilet now, isn't it?
In one of his books, Frank Herbert, author of Dune, told me how he had once been approached by a friend who claimed he (the friend) had a killer idea for a SF story, and offered to tell it to Herbert. In return, Herbert had to agree that if he used the idea in a story, he'd split the money from the story with this fellow. Herbert's response was that ideas were a dime a dozen; he had more story ideas than he could ever write in a lifetime. The hard part was the writing, not the ideas.
Edison put it best:
"Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration."
The lazy inventor is useless to society. A hard working person with one single good idea is worth infinitely more to the world as a whole than an unmotivated dreamer.
Most Americans who gripe about foreigners are not likely to be the same ones who have been foreigners themselves.
Almost anyone who has been in a situation will likely symapthize with others who are in the same situation. For instance: I do not complain about the strong accents of Mexicans here in Southern California where I now live, because I lived for two years in Germany where, for much of that time, I could not reproduce the "r" sound in the back of my throat or consistently produce the correct "ch" sound (hard, or soft) when I was supposed to (as in "echt" being soft, and "Acht" being hard).
For time attack and speedrun movies bisqwit's site is even better than http://speeddemosarchive.com/ in my opinion and is regularly updated. It focuses on console emulation, however, and doesn't include speedruns for computer games.
Some are more entertaining that others, but there is a best videos page for those who are first time visitors and just want the most interesting/entertaining videos to date.
Almost all of these speedruns use glitches in the games to achieve faster speeds. Speed isn't everything though, they also try not to be too boring. One of my favorites is Hitler no Fukkatsu (Bionic Commando) done in 14:06!
Meanwhile on X, we're still hand-editing x86config files and guessing what the optimum scan parameters should be.
Or just downloading the.inf files and reading them to find out what Windows thinks the optimal scan parameters should be. Seems to work pretty well for me.
After a year of living in Southern Germany and having gotten the basics down I was helped immensely by the book "A Practice Grammar of German" (ISBN 3-19-027255-7). This is the ISBN for my 1999 edition. The title's word choice may not indicate a grasp of the English language's grammar, but it sure was a great help in solidifying some of the more complex grammatical constructions used by Germans in more "official" dialogue.
Before I got ahold of this book I had a terrible time understanding news broadcasts, for instance. This book is also good if you intend to learn to write grammatically correct German.
How do they accomplish this? Is there any sort of conversion on the fly being done to the audio? Are they piping it through iTunes somehow or implementing this on their own? Does this involve encryption algorithms?
TFA shows steps in the right direction. So far most projects have tried to teach computers how to understand and produce natural language. The real solution lies in creating algorithms that allow computers to learn language. This is where studying how humans acquire language must be merged with computer science.
I can imagine the first successful computational linguist describing having a computer in his home for upwards of 10 years interacting with it and allowing it to interact with him and his family in order to learn the contects in which certain words carry specific meaning. Once the learning process is completed once the collected persistent memory could then theoretically be copied to other machines and devices so that they, too, may understand the language for which such training has been completed.
I rarely go to the movies anymore, and every time I go I'm reminded of why. I had tickets given to me as a gift so my Wife and I went to the movies last night. Here's what happened:
Arrived 25 minutes early to get our choice of seats.
As we were sitting down the soft background music stopped and a cartoon started playing. Nothing nefarious about this yet.
The short was a commercial to watch the full version on Cartoon Network and lasted five minutes.
I realized that we were stuck watching 20 minutes of commercials wile waiting to the movie. The commercials prevented casual conversation because they were loud and distracting.
Finally the showtime came and there were another 25 minutes of commercials!
After 45 minutes of straight commercials I was scolded for taking salaries away from Hollywood set builders because I download movies.
Let's just say that I'll keep watching movies but I'm probably not gonna be doing it in a movie theater again any time soon.
I don't have cable anything anymore. I'm on DSL now and I don't need cable anymore. A friend of mine who still has cable internet but who cancelled his cable TV still gets the Discovery Channel. I say of all the possibilities for a free channel to randomly be getting he got pretty lucky (it could have been Telemundo... or UPN *ducks*)
Any auctions or ads selling these items may be terminated at any time, along with the accounts linked to such sales.
When I first read this I thought they meant that the World of Warcraft accounts of those caught selling used copies would be terminated. I thought this might solve the problem: just tell them the serial number you have and then say you bought it off of someone. Blizzard in turn then terminates the seller's WoW account and everyone is happy.
Unfortunately upon closer inspection the termination is actually of the seller's auction account. What a shame.
You think it's hard today? I was trying to install a no-name ISA soundcard with Redhat 4.0 back in the day (1996). That was my first linux box, a P-100 16 megs of RAM. Man that was a sweet system! It took me a year to learn enough to get it working right. Part of the problem was an ISA video capture/TV-tuner card that was keeping the mouse from working properly. When I finally took that card out after 6 months of tinkering and the mouse magically worked I was simultaneously angry and exstatic!
It was quite a learning experience at the time trying to get that stuff working, but it also gave her a pretty negative opinion of Linux.
I've learned similar lessons. Don't let people that are afraid of the "dark place" (console) watch while you work on setting up something new in Linux. My wife felt the same way after watching me working on setting up a freevo box, but now that it "just works" she never complains anymore. I think she was just scared because I enjoy testing things out and used to break my sandbox install once a month or so until about a year ago when I'd finally learned enough to know how to fix most of the "have to reinstal Linux" errors most newbies run into.
Free software took over Unixes by replacing the components of the operating system piece by piece by piece... This was why these users were even able to consider a transition to Linux. They could replace their current systems, with additional value (or at much reduced cost). Virtually everything they used was free.
This is how my wife transitioned to Linux. Firefox, OO.o, Evolution, etc. was introduced to her one at a time until one day she realized my Linux desktop didn't look so different from her Win2000 desktop.
At her request I migrated all of her data over and wiped out Windows. She's just as happy now as she was before, and there was no shock. Crossover office picks up the slack on the one real showstopper, IE only website apps. Some financial institutions really need to get their acts together.
Lets win the app war, the middle ware war, the OS extensions war and then worry about the kernel.
That is one of the most succinct descriptions I have ever seen corresponding to my gut feeling about the future of Windows and Microsoft as a whole. Will history repeat itself? Only time will tell, but I am becoming increasingly confident that it will.
I actually doubt that any desktop effort based on an existing toolkit (Qt, Gtk+, etc.) will lead to significantly improved usability or functionality: those toolkits already encode a lot of assumptions and restrictions that any desktop effort based on them will be constrained by.
Projects like enlightenment are striving to innovate by creating new libraries and shunning the current crop of toolkits that assume too much and constrain design to a rather limited set of possibilities.
Judging by every apartment I've lived in, no matter how clean I've been and how vigilant I've been against them cockroaches have managed to become a daily occurance after about two years. (Part of it is that they don't all die in the Winter in California.)
In my experience, cockroaches really are the dominant species on earth.
I lived in Germany for two years and I always saw the Chevron tiger at gas stations and wondered why I never had seen such a thing in the USA where I grew up.
I never looked into it, but now I know.
For almost everything you can click on is a real link to a real html file with the flash embedded in it. In other words, you can bookmark whatever page you're on because each new "page" is really a new HTML file. It seems like the best of both worlds.

I checked this out a few weeks ago. It's really an interesting show depicting some of the greats that preceeded Einstein as well.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the same documentary as here.
It's a pretty interesting show.
It is very surprising to see someone with such a low number living in Escondido. Almost makes me proud to have been a resident.
