I was wondering about this. I have been a member for almost two years, and I am very efficient about sending the movies back quickly (thus maximizing the total number of movies I can see.) I have been wondering for a long time why I never seem to get any of the "Short Wait" movies, much less the "Long Wait" ones. Well anyway, I'm thinking about cancelling Netflix anyway. The post office has lost (or stolen) a number of movies I've sent back anyway. I'll probably just get a PVR instead.
imagine the ultimate cellphone - one that charges the battery every time it rings/vibrates
Have you ever heard of the Second Law? How do you think you would get the energy to vibrate the phone in the first place? Do you think you could possibly recover MORE energy from this than you put in in the first place?
Not only that, but Germany actually made the initial declaration of war against the United States shortly after Pearl Harbor. The US responded in kind 3 days later (I believe.)
Once you try gas cooking you won't go back to an electric stove willingly, no matter how fancy an electric stove it is.
My one problem with gas cooking, and maybe this is just my crappy builder-supplied GE stove, but it seems the available temperatures range from "Really , Really Hot" to "Fiery Chasm of Doom". I have noticed this on other stoves as well, but maybe they were just crappy too.
Austin population growth was about 6-7% per year since about 1997. Growth for 2002 was about 1%. We may be lucky to not lose people in 2003. I hope it picks up, though. I don't mind new residents as long as they know how to act civilized. Their money is definitely green.
Yet everytime I go for a bike ride through agricultural regions near where I live, my legs are covered with welts for days afterwards (likely due to the chemicals used in farming).
Are you sure these aren't bug bites?
Anyway, my mother developed a sensitivity (in her eyes) to the cheap ink used in most newspapers when she was in her late 30's. (A doctor told her this, she didn't just make it up.)
They have no idea where it came from; it just came on within a period of a few months. A newspaper in the vicinity caused her eyes to basically dry up and itch. She has special prescription eye drops to help soothe her eyes.
I believe the symptoms have reduced somewhat over the last few years, but it's something she still has to deal with. No one seems to know why this would happen.
It's probably the local newspaper companies switching to a newer, cheaper ink, which for some reason she is sensitive to.
Even in 1967 only a quack fake MD would actually recommend (tobacco) cigarette smoke as a treatment for asthma! Even then, they knew it constricts your airways.
BTW, cannabis used to be a common treatment for asthma, because unlike tobacco, it does tend to open up your airways (and also increase phglem production.) It was sold as an asthma treatment in most pharmacies over the counter until the late 1930's, when it was made illegal in the USA (for unrelated reasons.)
Whether or not you personally can dig their thing, the fact is that the Beatles directly influenced and informed 90% of the musicians growing up in that generation. And their influences and homages can of course be felt in a vast number of 'modern' artists. You don't like the Beatles? Fine. Understand that they were essentially the most popular artists of their generation in the English speaking world.
If only you could get SOCTUS to agree with your opinion.
Unfortunately for Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Jeffersonian Democrats, etc., the wonderful Ninth and Tenth Amendments are routinely ignored, or rather, have been 'reinterpreted' or 'adapted to modern times' so much as to be utterly meaningless.
After that, he did quite well on his own without any help from his father, including turning $100k into over $15 million in his Texas Rangers Baseball investment.
Puhleaze. You think that little AWOL-goin' coke- snortin' little shit would have been in a position to have been given such a sure-fire "investment" opportunity had his pater been anyone else? (i.e., not the sinister nexus of the shadow elite that he is?)
Yes, but this is so routinely ignored as to be utterly meaningless. (And it makes me wonder; if this part of the Constitution is meaningless, what about the rest of it?)
The Fibonacci sequence is "the most complex math ever understood?" Now I'm really confused. But then, perhaps a poor cretin such as myself can never possibly hope to exist on your elevated plane of existence.
I personally think that if anything, it's guided by the Fibonacci sequence (i.e., the Golden Ratio.)
I've read only a little bit of ANKOS so far, but the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence is that it is, as far as I can tell, among the simplest of all "programs" that produces interesting results that are found so widespread in our universe.
Although, I think the major problem with ideas like these is that they are ultimately unprovable and possibly unfalsifiable.
Yes, you can copy FROM (X) Emacs. All you have to do is select the text with the mouse (which automatically copies it to the clipboard.) In Emacs, using "marks/yanks" is not the same as the X copy-n-paste.
Unfortunately, "brief Perl OO training" is a contradiction in terms. Now I like Perl, I work with Perl, but something else, probably Python, is far more suitable for a quickie "OOP on Unix" tutorial.

What else?? Laziness.
They all pop. It's their nature. The only question is exactly how long.
Then even fewer people would look at using Java than do now.

Nice post.

I was talking about the 'bare minimum'. My mortgage is about $160k for a very nice 2000 sq ft house in suburban Austin, built in 1999.
So, I guess you've just got about $100,000 cash just lying around, in case you need to buy a house?

Ahh.. the word "mate" (especially as spelled "m8") originated with Black people in London? Mmmmmmmm....

And if we actually do own some VA stock, what do should we do? Run around screaming and blubbering until passing out?
Eagerly awaiting instructions.
Thx.
Your calculator is still a binary computer. It's just doing some behind-the-scenes magic so your brain doesn't explode.
The Fibonacci sequence is "the most complex math ever understood?" Now I'm really confused. But then, perhaps a poor cretin such as myself can never possibly hope to exist on your elevated plane of existence.
I think that's fairly accurate.
I personally think that if anything, it's guided by the Fibonacci sequence (i.e., the Golden Ratio.)

But what the hell do I know?
