Use Foxit, free and fast PDF reader. And when I say fast, I mean really fast. Adobe (with removed plugin dir and various other tuneups) isn't even in the same class, by far. Try it and you'll see.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Microwave technology has been in our household for what has to be more than 20 years now. The potential of using it for other things than heating food should be in plain view.
If everyone swaps their conventional heater with a powersaving microwave heater though, the electricity companies will see a lot less demand for electricity since they obviously consume less power.
Maybe there's some fertile ground for a conspiracy theory here. Gentlemen - fetch your tinfoil hats.
Well my question is an honest one. I have never ever seen a webhost with PostgreSQL, and the ones I know all say it's because it's hard to set it up in a multiuser environment. The support for user rights in the database is only part of the problem, you also need frontends and administration tools for both the webhost and the users. I've never seen any such solutions. And if they exist, why aren't webhosts using them?
From what I've heard from my webhosts, MySQL is easy to get up and running in a multiuser environment, whereas PostgreSQL is not quite that easy. I have not explored the multiuser capabilities of PostgreSQL myself, but I guess it may as well have to do with the available admin tools (phpMyAdmin vs ???).
"[..] May I ask, what features do you need that aren't in SQLite [..]"
Proper administration tools? Being the industry standard for half a man-age? Real professional support? I know, these aren't features. Then again, your question was stupid, so this answer serves you just right:)
I am very enthusiastic about this kind of collaboration, the wild "everything goes" approach is very appealing as it invites anyone to do anything since "breaking something doesn't matter because it can be fixed in a few keystrokes".
However, my personal experience is that there will at some point arise conflicts, arguments and general disagreements, often leading to one or more developers to just pack up and leave. Or worse, fork!
Anyone else had any experience with this very loose development collaboration model?
Your rather lengthy and agressive post ("complete, utter bullshit"? how dramatic) is flawed in several aspects. I will point out a few of them.
A.222 is a varmit gun, used for shooting praire dogs out west and not much else.
A.222 (I don't know why you are mentioning.222 specifically, I've been using.223 in my examples) is used for both varmint AND medium sized game, including roe deer, fallow deer, and the like. Not to mention big birds and seals. This round might be low calibre, but the muzzle velocity can make up for it with a good bullet.
The.30-06 is a deer rifle, typically used with hard pointed rounds for accuracy. Soft lead rounds have a flat nose to assist in slowing the bullet, but has the unfortunate side-effect of making it less accurate.
As the flat-point bullets are slower, they are more accurate and less prone to be affected by leaves, wind, and so forth. So no, flat-pointed bullets are not less accurate than hard-pointed bullets. In fact, it's the other way around.
So why aren't all bullets flat-pointed? Because it isn't always practical, especially for long ranges. You can either have a heavy and slow bullet, or a fast and light bullet. Both work very well under their own certain conditions.
Here in Norway, the flat-points are usually used for close-range situations, namely dog-assited moose hunting.
Entry and exit wounds tend to be larger with the.30-30 than with the.30-06 due to the mushrooming.
What are you saying here, you're using FMJ rounds when hunting deer? No wonder you don't seen a deer drop dead on impact.
Most.30-30 rifles are lever action with a tubular magazine in which the bullets are alid end to end in a spring loaded tube. This is highly dangerous with.30-06 and similar rounds as the possibility of the pointed tip detonating the next bullet's primer is great.
Are we still living in the wild, wild west? I will just settle with "no" here and encourage you to take a look at what's offered at todays rifle market.
So, as some one speaking who's used both of these rounds to feel whitetail deer, it's bullshit that a shot in the chest will down game instantly. Most hunters go for a chest shot and seek to take out both lungs with one bullet. This causes mortal trama to the game and it dies soon, but not immediately.
Whoops, wrong again. With a proper round (for example.308,.30-06 or similar with lead point) and a hit to the heart region, the shock effect could easily kill the animal immediately. This doesn't happen often, but it definently happens on a regular basis.
In fact, I've used both of these rounds to kill hogs and coyotes as well. Shots in the chest on these animals never cause immediate death unless you're lucky enough to hit the heart with enough trauma. The only reasonably sure way to down anything instantly is to shoot it in the neck, which is my prefered way of killing as the game almost always collapses immediately.
I don't know what kind of bullets you have been using on your rounds when torturing these animals, but I certainly hope you learned something
Aiming for the neck is one of the least recommended areas to aim unless you're at point blank range. The chance of only mildly wounding an animal by neckshot is *very* high. Neckshots sometimes strokes the neck spine and causes temporary paralyzation of the animal. Who said "drop dead"?
I back up those statements with real life experience the likes of which most/.'ers simply can't.
The rugged paws and the thick furry tail coupled with black color makes it fairly obvious that this is a puma. This is also plausible because pumas has a history of being used as pets.
I can't see anything wrong with the picture. You can see both the left and right front paws, and a severed head. The anatomy seems correct to me.
The head looks like that because when you're hunting, you don't use full metal jacket, nor do you usually use hollow point. You use very heavy and expanding lead-point bullets.
These bullets has a thin metal jacket and a hole in the nose, and they are filled with lead. On impact with an animal the nose of the bullet expands voilently and creates something similar to an explosion (way more powerful than any hollow point). As mentioned, the lead makes these bullets very heavy and they sport a massive amount of energy. They are made for two purposes: to kill and to kill as fast as possible.
After the impact and immediate expansion the bullet remains partly intact and can easily travel through the rest of the animal, creating even more damage.
Lead point bullets creates awfully lot of damage to tissue, and it doesn't surprise me one bit that the head was so severed. Even with a.222/3/* you can get that kind damage with the right bullet. I assume the hunter was using.308 or.30-06 or larger ammunition, which can effectively cut a small sized human in two when hit from the right angle with the right bullet.
If you watch hunting videos where they have zoomed in on the animals they shoot, you can often see a thick red mist at the impact of the bullet. In most cases, if it was a hit in the lung/heart region, the animals drops dead on the spot. That would *never* have happened with FMJ or hollow point.
I've been using Apache2 on windows machines for several years now. Disregarding the occational crash under very special circumstances, it has worked like a charm for me. It's been just as stable as the servers running on my FreeBSD and Linux boxes.
From the Apache2 features doc: "With the introduction of platform-specific multi-processing modules (MPMs) and the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), these platforms are now implemented in their native API, avoiding the often buggy and poorly performing POSIX-emulation layers."
Maybe there's a problem with whatever modules they're using?
Is KDE a window manager or a collection of applications, or both? In case of the latter, which one of those is it the most? And when will they remove all those games that no-one really plays?
No wonder you got into troubles if you didn't drop into single user mode before installing the kernel and the userland binaries. It might be worth reading the handbook too, not just UPDATING.
And where does the FreeBSD organization strongly discourage upgrading from 4.x to 5.x?
The price is so high partly because of currency. Remember, the money that would buy you a car in Norway would buy you two cars, a house, and a pretty wife in the US.
I'd just like to note that nothing has been decided yet. But most likely licensing issues will be overcome and Harmony will use existing projects to build the J2SE implementation. If so, that will be a win-win-win situation for alot of projects and people.
I'd like to add that the actual cause of this is Norways association with EU and their directives, specifically the "InfoSoc" (mentioned in a previous comment). However, reading various articles (like this one) indicates that this is indeed a law that has been practically forced upon Norway, and the actual enforcement of it is not likely to happen on any substansial scale.

SIM-IM doesn't support multiple monitors.
Agree, cross referencing is painful. Now I just use Hyperlink->Document, which is really not good enough.
I use Sleep, a perl-like scripting language for java which is extremely easy (and fun) to embed and extend.
The screencast is probably the funniest thing I've seen all day. It has lots of amusing little details that made me smile. This mirror seems pretty fast: http://screencast17.sqlonrails.org/video/screencas t2_lq.mov
