I actually am a prereader at EqD (kits).
I don't consider anything that posts as much fanfiction as we do an introduction to the fandom. I mean, fanfics turn a lot of people off of a lot of things. Plus we have way too many inside references and memes of our own to be a good intro. There is very little in the way of discourse since it's a blog.
Maybe the EqD irc channels. I'd hang out in there more but I'm too busy with the rest of my pony life.

Nope./co/ is a cesspit. It's far worse than/b/ ever was. Youtube 'pony thread simulator'. That's/co/.
I'm not sure WHERE to go for a lightweight introduction, but 4chan ain't it. I'd say either http://www.synchtube.com/r/Yaridovich or maybe chat.freenode.com #flankbook-np or #flankbook-pr. All three places love newfoals. http://www.synchtube.com/r/Filly is a 'cleaner' mlp channel, but sometimes, the mods are still asleep.
If a java class locks some resource (FileInputStream locks the actual file referred to by a java.io.File object) then it will contain a close() or disconnect() etc function that releases the lock. FileInputStream will call close() during finalization if the programmer hasn't yet.
The idiom is:
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(myFile); ...
} catch(IOException e) { ...
} finally {
if(fis!=null) fis.close();
}
I proposed that a company would obtain the GPL source code for MySQL, compile it, and then SELL the resulting binaries. That clearly is illegal, both a violation of the GPL and MySQL's trademarks. No it's not. As long as the package they sell also contains the source and all files needed to build the application, they are still adhering to the GPL.
GPL doesn't preclude selling binaries. It just mandates that the user be able to easily obtain the source from the distributer.
few other language groups will praise someone for their broken sentences as they make their first attempts Every German I interacted with in my five year deployment (Stuttgart and Hoehenfells) was HAPPY that I had bothered to make an attempt to speak their language. They were not insulted, they did not "look ddown at me" as I attempt to master their language. That didn't stop most of them from trying to practice their English. It's a funny situation when a each person is speaking a language they are still learning.
However I believe that spamming should not be a crime.
...charges of identity theft, money laundering, and mail, wire [fraud], and e-mail fraud... At least RTFS. He is being charged with a multitude of crimes, none of which are spamming. Spam was his vehicle for committing fraud, not a crime in and of itself.
Quaternions have no singularities. Euler angles have a singularity at +/-90 deg elevation. EG. The vector (assuming Z is vertical axis) can be formed by an arbitrary yaw, arbitrary roll and a pitch of +/-90. Attempting to the resolve the vector back into euler angles become impossible as there are infinite solutions.
Lead prevents tin whiskers. A phenomenon that can short out micro-circuitry. The amount of lead in electronics is miniscule and really poses no threat.
This is exactly how the TVA stores extra generated power. They pump it back uphill above a dam. While hard for a small business to do, it is one of the most efficient power storage mechanisms used by the power industry.
A thought that crossed my mind: Power Factor
The power you actually benefit from is not what you are charged for. If the magnitude of real power (550 kwatts etc) is one side of a right triangle and reactive power (measured in VARS where 1 VAR= sqrt(-1) watts) is the other, you are charged based on the hypotenuse. (eg sqrt(Real^2 + Reactv^2) = Billed power. The angle between the hypotenuse and real power is controlled by the amount of impedance (reactance) in your system. This is called your power factor. To bring this towards unity in industry, special variable capacitance motors are used to counteract the inductive effect of normal motors (and PSUs and fans, and wires, etc.) Your power company should be able to tell you all about it, including if it is worth it for you to do. Just ask about power factor correcting.
The motor DOES use real power but it helps eliminate reactive power. Power companies typically charge a lot for an overabundance of reactive power consumption(ie too muich inductance) because this can seriously wear on generators.
Another thing. Make sure you have good switching power supplies. Cheapass supplies are both noisy and inefficient. ANything quoted as having Active-PFC or A-PFC already does power factor correction and the above can be ignored for it.
Even the semi-computer illerteate people I know use google and nothing else.
Exactly. My whole familiy uses Google. Hell, they use it as a verb. This shows that even non-tech savvy people know that Google is THE search engine. I mean, just look at http://justfuckinggoogleit.com/. No one made a justfuckingyahooit or justfuckingaskjeeves.
Wasn't there that 'firebird' exploit that added a toolbar to IE? Or was that something else. I remember someone saying something to the effect that IE is so insecure it has vulnerabilities in other programs. I can't find the comment, but it was funny at the time.

Comcast did the same thing. Instead of calling them, I just cloned the MAC of the machine they had setup to connect to their network. Worked fine.

I can confirm that allowing scripts/plugin on this site crashed firefox and nuked my history file. So NoScript saves the day again!
I did not have a crash.
/. who hasn't installed noscript deserves it.
However. I run with NoScript set to block all plugins.
So that may be it.
Frankly anyone reading
