i cant see anythind youd find being too tough to break. i mean, you cant even secure a wireless lan yet. something would be better than nothing, i guess. at least massive white dudes would leave you alone to catch easier fish.
oh man, you just reminded me of the ford tempo aka the mercury... what was it... cant remember what the merc version was, but wow. that tempo sucked on so many levels. and it sucked new. there was a recall on teh ignition switch but ford refused to do it and thus it burned up two starters that they refused to pay for. and it was dangerously underpowered. i dont even know how people with autos in those things drove them
have you seen it??? i dont just throw around multiple question marks. that and the all-plastic avalanche are the ugliest cars to come out of the US is a long time, imo. holy crap, those things are ugly. at least the honda insight (almost as bad, aesthetically) if VERY functional.
id drive a pinto before id drive an aztec. then again, id probably have a efi302 in it, as well...
i read thru the article and still cant figure out why there appear to be three isos for this distro when only 1 is necessary and the third not even mentioned. anybody know what it does?
btw, the torrent should be moving along pretty well, im giving over 200k up
i think its alright. sure, would have been cooler to have a g4(or g5) in there, of course. and, sure, it would have been cooler to have dual vid cards and have one run to an lcd in that opening where the old crt was. granted, that all would have made it cooler. i still think its pretty cool. i dig the idea of having that thing turned into a usable case. thats a pretty sweet lan party box to lug around. not even that big, really.
ive been wanting to stick a pc in at least an old g3 case with the drop-down side. those are soooo cool. im endlessly fascinated (far more than i should be) by those things.
im no expert by any means, but dont you have addresses that are twice as long, too? surely looking up an address that is twice as long would take at least a little more time
the real problem lies in the amount of space they take up. you can clearly see that the length of the 1 is easily surpased by the circumference of the 0. they take more ink, more pixels, and clearly more cpu power to process. this isnt even taking into account the area they take up. the area covered by a 0 is far greater than that of a 1. on top of that, the area in the middle is simply wasted!
And then the moral of the story is that Linux PVRs are not ready for prime time?!
yes. regardless of his skill level, the point is that linux didnt work out of the box, but the windows stuff did. windows is crap, but more often than not, it works right away. your mileage may vary is the case with any linux project, in my opinion. any OS for that matter. ive been relatively pleased with XP, but i sure wish i didnt need it and could use my debian install at work more.
i love linux, i can deal with windows. the fact remains that in my experience (which i think is relatively common)most of the time windows is easier.
having said all that, i think im just gonna buy a pvr. this all looks like too much hassle. sure, i can make a chevy astro van relatively nice, but for the effort, another car might be a better choice.
ill stick a disclaimer in here first, as i am usually misunderstood as being pissed off and flaming. im not. there.
just the deep south in the US? where are you from? not the US, i would guess.
mr2's, 911's, ferraris, old beatles, sure. however, how many of these exist in the US? i'd bet a very small amount. id be surprised if more than.5% of the cars in the US were rear/mid engined. the hondas, chevy's, fords, mopars, and all the other cars that comprise 90%+ are front engined.
i have no doubt that europe has much higher numbers for the cars with frunks(front trunk), but that is not the case in the US. oh, and the new beatle is front now, tho they hardly outnumber the old ones, yet, ill admit.
i woudl assume the parent was joking, as well.
but to move closer to the topic, thats pretty impressive stuff in that car. it never ceases to amaze me how geeks like i hope to be can interface with engines and computers like that. anybody know where i can learn more about it?
you are entirely right. i usually fall on my hands when i skate, and i doubt that these would take very much abuse.
however, disregarding that even, i still dont see it. for one, skating park does a fair job at keeping you warm. not only that, but there are other reasons why you dont skate when its mad cold, like the wax just not riding properly. okay, maybe thats more of a concern with street skating, but still.
same here at oklahoma state, i work at the arts and sciences web lab and we run ultra 10's, a 2 and a 5 for the unwashed masses of web pages. the real stuff sits on real hardware, but we host a lot of pages on this "old" hardware.
*disclaimer: this is based on the modding of "insightful" to the post. if it was intended to be funny, none of this applies.
your soap box is rotting away it's so old, why dont you just step off of it and realize taht you arent superior just because you are old. you can have superior knowledge because of lots more experience, that is great. knowing about old hardware for the sheer joy of calling me a whippersnapper is just getting, well, old.
it is most likely that i should humbly bow in your presence, ill admit that, but you requiring me to do so pisses me off.
1. beta is superior, high-end cameras still use it
2. the pinto can quite easily be fitted with a turbo 4cyl to make it very fast (granted, that one is a little sketchy as to whether the car is still worthless or not)
id like to add one, tho, speaking of the pinto. aside from front suspension components, the mustang II was a worthless and ugly piece of crap.
having said all that, id still mod you way up for your suggestion of lifetime achievement award for AI. nothing i have ever seen even remotely resembles AI. the best i can say about any of it is that it is clever use of interesting prog languages and databases.
ok, tell me something that you like and it is likely something i dont care for. once you tell me what it is, i can ridicule you for liking it and get a superior attitude towards you for it.
i dont mean to sound like a prick, but i like this stuff and find it entertaining. just because you dont like it, doesnt mean its drivel.
i like fast, gas-guzzling, american muscle cars. you most likely do not. does that make whatever kind of car you like crap? probably not.
um... they give it away free. should i feel guilty for watching it for free? all this guy says is that he already feels like a mooch watching it for free (even tho they encourage it) and doesnt want to tie up their bandwidth. i see absolutely nothing wrong with this.
i prefer downloading linux distros via torrent for the same reason. i already feel like theyve given so much letting me have it for free, id just assume not have them have to pay even more for me to download it
i disagree. the stuff about the puma is classic,but the rest of the early dialoge is phonky. the acting is terrible in the first ones and gets much better as time goes on. id have to agree that the plot gets worse, but they relied on almost a Seinfeld-ish talk-about-nothing style early on that had no plot at all. not that that's a bad thing, i rather like some of it, but they at least had a story as time went on. keep in mind i didnt like the story any better than the lack thereof in the earlier ones, but at least it existed.
so i guess all that to say that the quality of production and acting got better, a bad plot emerged, and the humor got worse. overall a very good buy on DVD, i think.
not that its free or even meant for programming, but macromedia's dreamweaver syntax highlights php. with (from what im told, its free for me) expensive plugins for it (such as www.interakt.ro) its a very powerful php development tool. lots of wizards to knock out the stuff like db connections, querys, datasets, etc.
like i said, its not free, but it sure is easy, fast, and highlights syntax.
im sure links for those would get me more karma, but im too lazy this rainy friday morning.
agreed. most people (read: windows users) dont even understand how an operating system like linux can even have flavors, let alone the idea that any of those distributions can look completely different (a key difference in peoples minds) with any number of different desktops. my first time with linux (debian, that was not cool for a first-timer, hehe) i was having resolution trouble and a friend of mine asked what desktop i was using. i had no idea what he was tlaking about.
i had even used linux before and was completely amazed when the very same operating system i installed looked completely different by just selecting a different desktop upon login.
im used to it now and enjoy the choice, but it is extremely confusing to the new user.
but to actually respond to your question, im not so sure gnome will be it, if anything like that happens. is redhat really oriented towards home use? debian sure isnt good for first-timers, that installer is allkinds of ugly(important, sadly). Isnt mandrake pro-kde? what about suse, they are kde as well, iirc. after using kde and gnome, i have the same opinion as most people in the middle. gnome is simpler, perhaps more intuitive, but ugly. kde is prettier, arguably faster, but has waaaaayyyyy too many (and poorly labeled) menu options.
*assumes perhaps incorrectly that that wasnt a joke* you seriously think they didnt just get rid of or hide them in the 12+ years they had to do so?
and for the on-topic part, mandrake 9.2 is getting darn close to useable for my mom. that is the measurement, my mother being able to use it. my wife can already use knoppix, so its getting close.

thanks, tho.
now watch, youll get modded up "informative" and this post will get modded down "offtopic" even if i were to add something ontopic below.
but there is free stuff out there to do mpeg2, so what gives?

of course, all in good fun, you old fart
