OQO Examined
·
· Score: 1
No, no, no. The letter O can also be pronounced the same as in "on" (I believe it's called a schwa sound), so OQO is pronounced "ah-kwa", like Aqua. Hmm... it's another iConspiracy!:)
Oh, no doubt about that, but actually, I was just making an example. I don't care for Bush, but I don't keep up with the latest mudslinging to have a basis to call him a crook or a cheat. I just think this whole war situation is a load of crap. But that is a discussion not to be had, because everyone's got their own views on that, and it won't do any good to argue...
Just a side note - not all 'religious folk' are anti-evolutionists, as you seem to imply. In fact, if you understand the ideas, and the fact that many (if not most) of the Bible is best taken as allegory/metaphor/etc., evolution and creation are no different. Though in Genesis it states it took 7 days to "create" everything, it also states elsewhere that A) he works within the rules he created for the system (i.e. when was the last time an animal went POOF! and appeared?), and B) a thousand years here is but a day there (to him).
And no, I'm not even a religious zealot... I can't stand mos religious folk. But just because you find yourself to be scientific minded, don't throw out something because it walked in under the heading "religion" instead of "science". It may be the same anyhow.
...this isn't the first time I've seen this. I've had the same problem with a few different Linux distros. I'm not sure myself exactly what the problem is, but until it gets sorted out, I just have to keep my Linux and my Windows on separate machines, just to avoid the headaches...
Of course, I've always had headaches installing and configuring Linux. Maybe it's just me.
By the way, if anyone knows how to get Linux to support my Logitech "Cordless Click! Plus" cordless USB 6 button mouse, PLEASE let me know...
This is absolutely hilarious. On the one hand, we have people who don't like Moore and his films, and they cry "YOU"RE ALL WACKO LEFTIES!", and on the other hand, we have people who do like Moore and his films, crying "YOU"RE ALL WACKO RIGHT-WINGERS!". What's the deal with this? Can't we have a discussion about something without throwing political buzzwords into the mix? How 'bout I say "I think Bush is a crook and a cheat" rather than saying "I'm an extreme ". It makes much more sense to run a debate or discussion with real words rather than directions, unless you're debating over which way is west on the map.
This is just... beyond words. As a geek with a decent sized figure collection (mostly Spawn and Anime figures), I might consider adding this for novelty. Then again, last time I bought a figure I couldn't see in person, I heavily regretted it...
The ability to code superbly? Hmm...
I have nothing else to add, except AMEN. Close the doors, bring our jobs back, and boot out the clout. If they won't run the country for minimum wage, screw em!:) I loved Schwarzenegger's comment that nobody would buy his vote because he had more money than anyone that would try.
Oh, I think maybe you got me a little wrong there - I love god jokes as much as the next slashdotter... but 8 soviet-russia "jokes" in the past 5 articles? Eep!
Also, we're not talking (last I checked) about strictly using these PCs to put on the kids desks. ANYTHING that would benefit charity - and I know quite a feq schools that could use more hardware firewalling, etc. Also, there's the possibility to donate to a community college for use in the A) networking labs, B) assembly programming / c programming labs, C) Linux labs (yes, there actually are some), or whatever.
We don't always have to dumb things down to the lowest common denominator.
What I would recommend would be the Girder "remote control" app, coupled with a good plugin or IR reciever of some sort - set up the hotkeys as you like, and just use a nice wireless trackball for the mousing. Don't know how much typing you'll do on a HTPC, but they have already mentioned the mini wireless keyboards from Gyration.
Um, hi, hello, bonjour... ground control to majordomo... I'm not sure if you're familiar with the concept, but it's something called a command line. People these days are too spoiled on GUIs - if it won't run the pretty buttons and cute icons, it's not worth it, right? Bah. Donate your old machines to me. I'll put them to good use...
Well, in Soviet Russia... wait, no, I refuse to make such a stupid comment...:)
Seriously though, this sounds like it might be a decent idea. There's nothing wrong with using old systems for something... how many people out there run their old 486DXs as firewalls or NATs, honestly? Probably quite a few...
And, if ANYthing can turn an old system into something new and useful, it would have to be Linux. For all the griping about it, it's far superior to any Microsoft product when it comes to custom built applications (not the program types, thats another story) for hardware... way to go!
Oh, and I think this MIGHT be a FP... not sure:)
Well, since I put my threshold on -1 and formatted to flat, I've noticed a lot more of these soviet-russia comments. It was amusing at best to begin with, but come on folks, enough is enough...
I think you missed the point of what I was saying entirely. I wasn't saying that Democrats have gun control or don't, or are liberal, or whatever. I'm saying that we're adhering to party lines that were established at a time when they MEANT something, but they clearly don't anymore, as you've just pointed out. You call yourself a democrat, yet follow what you say is a more non-democrat format for your choices. Point made.
I think it's a mistake, and a very grave one at that, for everyone to assume that the citizen is made by the state. Now, there may be discrepancies, but try to follow me here. The state is made by the citizens. Granted, murder is illegal. However, if every last citizen of any given country rose up and decimated the government and the military (unlikely, but this is just a theory), then what would that state be? The USA would not be the USA if not for the complacency of the populace thereof NOT to destroy the government.
Granted, it'll probably never happen, but I think it's a realization people need to start making. The only reason the government is in power is because A) we (or our ancestors, or another country even) put them there, and B) because we haven't the motivation to remove them.
Statements like that should get people smacked. How long will it be before people honestly realize that there's no practical difference between "republicans" and "democrats"? They're ALL politicians, which means they throw their weight where it'll get them the most money and/or clout.
Open your eyes, for the good of everyone around you.
Wow... that REALLY sounds a lot like a dirty hippie dud I attended college with. The guy always ran around campus singing and dancing, and making a general nuisance of himself. And he was a hippie, too. I can definately see him pullinga stunt like that.
What's a "Pogramm"? Just wondering...
Anyhow, I think this project is interesting. Granted, I'm not going to run out and get a PocketPC just so I can run 98se, but the fullspeed PSX emu mentioned catches my eye...
Pocket sized Final Fantasy? Better yet, pocket sized Symphony of the Night! NOW we're talking! Woo-hah!
For $2000, I'd take a shot. The logic can't be THAT difficult - for every frame, find the nearest 'bot. If it can't get to you in less than 2 or so turns, move. If you're cornered, teleport (if that's still part of the game, that may have been an offshoot of the original). Avoiding 'bots takes priority over killing bots, which is above getting apples. The only slightly difficult part would be to make the 'bots crash. Considering some of the programming tasks we got in second-level college C++, this excercise seems like 2-day cake. Good enough for $2000, if you ask me.

If we ever created warring autonomous sentient robots, we wouldn't accept surrender as an option anyway. We barely do as it is.
It has already been mentioned that Mandrake 10.0 suffers the same problem.

And make sure to use a slide-rule instead of wasting batteries on a calculator. Pfft.
