I guess something that would help could be to include, in the picture, some little notice like "If you see this picture on a non-yahoo webpage, please report to blah@blah".
Could perhaps be countered by removing that notice before presenting it to the eager-to-see-porn target. Though it would at least make the entire procedure more trickier.
So hydrogen is a good energy source. How does collecting hydrogen compare to oil pumping in terms of energy return on energy investment? (I admit, I didn't read the article)
I work at a game development company (small one), three of us (out of 7) are left handed, including me.
Though I did not inherit it, at least not to my knowledge, and it was definitely not a conscious choice:)
I tried for a while to learn guitar right-handed, but I decided to restring my guitar and play it left handed instead. Much more comfortable and now I can play both ways!
But they aren't distributing SoundForge, are they?
AFAICT they are not distributing pirated material. I am just guessing, but I don't think it would be illegal to distribute those wave files just because they were saved by a pirated program.
Which encoder you choose greatly impacts the quality of the resulting MP3s. My favourite general-purpose is LAME. When going for high bitrates i choose BladeEnc.
IMHO around 128 kbps with lame is where it gets diffcult to tell the difference in an ABX test.
The 5.25 inch floppy disk drives are great because they contain nice stepper motors and they are very sturdily built. They also contain some a rotating platters which you can use to build interesting stuff with.
By gluing a jar to the rotating platter you have a nice mixer (if you tilt the contraption slightly). We did exactly that back in school to mix gunpowder (teachers not knowing).
Visiting the library once in a while is useful. It is quite a mistake to believe that the internet is a good source for all information you need. Sure, it can provide a lot of useful information but often in low quantities and very spread out (and what about peer-review?).
Finding good and useful information in a library is way more efficient than searching the web, if you compare time spend vs. amount of found (and good) information, IMHO.
A google image search shows some beautiful pictures. I am not sure I used the correct spelling (Cherenkov vs Cerenkov) though "Cerenkov" returns nicer images.
...is as interesting site found when researching these scams, Scam-o-rama. It contains lots of e-mail conversations with scammers and also some funny pictures. They also have an interesting case when somebody actually scammed the scammers (see the stories marked in red)
A more reasonable comparison would perhaps be if someone goes to a library, borrows the book and makes a copy of it at home. Just reading a book at the library does not automatically multiply the book.
I didn't RTFA, but a calculation using just the "number of installed pirated copies" must give the wrong answer (and hence be meaningless), because certainly not everyone can afford the software they're using. Everyone can afford free (as in beer) software though:)
Any idea where one can find liquid-proof keyboards?
I've ruined way too many keyboards by spilling various types of drinks in them:(
One thing I've learnt though is that coke is many times worse than (sugar-free) coffee. Coke in a keyboard almost surely means instant death whereas coffee is not as harmful.
I repaired a coke-attacked Microsoft Natural keyboard once (it was a pain!), and it seems to me that it shouldn't be too difficult to design a fairly liquid-safe keyboard.
Oops! I did not mean the entire iostreams library (even though i typed that)!
The brokenness is about ifstream/ofstream. Try building a program which opens a file and prints the contents (using iostreams). File operations give you unresolved externals:(
They don't seem to have released any newer version of the toolkit and I've tried everything I could come up with.
After downloading the VC++ Toolkit 2003 it was sad to see that the C++ standard library implementation appears to lack iostreams..
I've managed to build STLPort and Boost with it though (but not without hacking the source!). Gave me working iostreams at least, but i dont think it was worth it.
I rather use MinGW but it has broken support for wide-char strings:(.

At least it is an interesting read. Actually, I like OOP somewhat. When it is not overdone.

both ways are ugly

If you want to learn speed cubing This is a good site.
At least that's the site I learnt from.

Why can't you give your OEM rescue CD away?

I use OGG a lot, too. It is pretty good.
