I also saw a program on one of the Discover channels recently, describing methods of moving these large, cube-like stones for pyramids.
They tied a piece of wood to each of the four sides of the stone, and each piece of wood had a curved face on the outside, such that when you would look at the stone-surrounded-by-wood, it appeared as a square inscribed within a circle. Tilted on its side, it became a "wheel", which was much easier to move up the ramps. Brilliant stuff.
"Warn her Evan died sinning."
It seems to look like an anagram, since it is a sentence, yet a very odd one. Anybody care to dig up an efficient anagram generator and see if you come up with anything interesting?
Or maybe it's not an anagram of anything, and I'm just on crack.
Interesting how you get modded up for creating your own elaborate straw man, and then knocking it down.
I'm no hardcore Bible-thumper, but you've certainly taken a few passages out of context... read them with the surrounding lines, and you'll get the full picture. 1 Corinthians 7:1-12 in its full context is better understood when one should and should not marry.
More power to you if you can build a strong argument for your case, whatever that might be. I always look forward to intelligent discourse. But you stooped rather low to get your point across.
Will this wireless corridor allow someone driving by the campus to log into the campus network and the Internet undetected? To prevent such unauthorized access and hacking, OIT developed its own authentication program requiring wireless users to log in through a web browser before access to the Internet is granted.
So then a user can ONLY use the wireless LAN if they authenticate through a browser? What about people with devices (phones, PDAs) that can get email but not surf the www? They won't be allowed to connect and pop their mail? This sounds rather proprietary and sucky. Not to mention short-sighted and ignorant. Ick.
I'd like to first make this disclaimer: I know nothing about P2P programming, and I know only the very basics of how many P2P applications like Napster, Gnutella, Freenet can work. In addition, perhaps this has already been thought of, or is already in implementation. Oh yeah - and I'm not an avid IRC user.
What about the use of an existing network/infrastructure to facilitate P2P interaction, such as IRC servers? Make a custom P2P file-sharing client which connects to an IRC server, and joins a particular channel. Other users connect in a likewise fashion. File search requests are sent to the IRC server, clients read those requests, and reply in a private IRC channel if they've got a similar filematch...
The centralized server then becomes the IRC server/network. Is this really lame? Would the administrators of the said IRC networks ban certain client identifiers or something? Would this not scale? Just thinking out loud here...
The temperature scale is "Kelvin", not "Kalvin". And the measurements are known as "Kelvins", not "degrees Kelvin" (any physics student knows this). The proper phrase would be "to one millionth of one Kelvin".
Call me a pedant and mod this to "Offtopic" if you want - I guess it's what I expect. But...
The proper initialism is "ADSL" (not "ASDL"), which stands for "Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line". It's common for people to want to put the S before the D, as in "ISDN", but it's not correct. If anything, use that as a mnemonic device - it's the OPPOSITE order of "ISDN", it's "ADSL".
Not trying to sound condescending, but rather an attempt at being informative.

The first photo on his website, showing a monstrous badger sculpture and a log behind it, is located on Hwy 45. It used to be a gas station and tourist-oriented gift-shop at one time, if I recall correctly. Although in the recent past, it's been converted to an gentlemen's club.

Here's perhaps a really stupid question: I was talking to someone about linux and macs and so forth, and they mentioned "OS Ten", turns out they were pronouncing "OS X" as if "X == roman numeral ten". Is this silly or what? Or was this the original intent? I was always pronouncing each letter "O S X" in discussions.
Am I ignorant? Or was this person way off base? Ever heard of this before?
Well, the links will redirect to the static page, but you won't be able to go directly to the comment. I don't really keep up on slashcode updates and ideas, but here's a fairly simple fix:
make the comment titles anchors with respect to their cid. i.e.
<A NAME="cid33">Title of Article</A>
Then when the comments.pl redirects to the static, it also redirects with respect to that anchor #cid33
If/. did not post the story, they'd be accused of some editorial conspiracy or the like. What were they to do? Not post this story? I firmly believe that this story is worthy of attention from the Slashdot community. While we all know that RedHat Is Not Linux, it is still one popular distro (among many). So "whats [sic] the deal"? The deal is that Slashdot is posting a relevant story, and I don't see a problem with that.
Why don't they try to put common communication devices (namely, telephones) in ballpoint pens?
A friend of mine used to work at a convenience store, and one of the regular patrons often would be engaged in conversation with my friend and then suddenly interrupt, "hang on, I've got a call coming in". My friend would grin and say, "Okay, Hank." He'd then step back, click the top of his ballpoint pen, and begin muttering and arguing with it, for lengths of up to 5 minutes. He claimed that his boss contacted him regularly through his ballpoint pen.
Might be scarcely believable if the guy didn't spend his spare time collecting aluminum cans fromt the dumpsters outside. *grins*
Come on. I don't buy it. If you can get your foot in the door doing telemarketing, there are other opportunities, too. How much is "very very very little"? I don't feel sorry for these people who make a living this way. By accepting the job as a telemarketer, only the most ignorant aren't aware that they will deal with angry consumers who won't want to be bothered, and they've made a conscious decision to accept that by performing this job.
The only true way to stop telemarketing is to make it financially unfeasible for the company. REFUSE to buy anything that anyone tries to sell you over the phone. When the profits from these activities drop enough, this marketing method would surely be abandonded.

they remembered that Microsoft had filed a counter-suit against them (US Government).
