but the people putting on this contest (sorry, stunt) could have recognized they were in deep waters with a modicum of research. oh ha ha ha ha ha... funny...
The reason they blocked the website was because the union was posting pictures of every worker that crossed the picket line and advocating violence against them. Stop the SCABS!!! As soon as the union removed the pictures, the website had it's access restored.
Yes well you see, Victoria has a unique situation. Every city all around us is cold and wet. Vancouver rains non stop, and every other city has one nasty ass cold winter while victoria snows once every 5 years, and then the snow lasts two days max.
Because of our unique weather situation, the homeless from just about all of bc and probably from other provinces and washington too, all deside to move and take up residence on the streets. We have the highest homelessness rate in canada because they all emigrate to our mild climate.
I agree though about spending the money on toilets... 75000 for a single toilet? fuck, i could build and install tons of them for that much money.
Oh god, the presure chamber. That was the coolest effect ever. When your character blew up you actually felt like someone had put a blender in your head. Made me avoid that chamber at all costs, lol.
Anyways, Unreal Tournament should definitly be on that list.
I suppose then it's also impossible to prevent air from entering and leaving an enclosure with people in it because the air can fit through all the holes that people fit through to enter....
Oh wait... Air Locks......
Hmmmm, maybe a double door entry system to a building would work?
Actually, the tangential velocity relative to the axis is a function of cosine. So your velocity at 46 degrees is cos(46) of what it is at the equator.
cos(46) is 0.69465837045899728665640629942269, so the post above you is correct, when it mentions that the speed is aprox 70%, and you are wrong, when you say it is half.
Of course, energy is a function of the square of speed, 1/2 * mv^2 , so to make up for the resultant loss in speed, you'd have to spend 1/v^2 more energy, which is 2.0723230307791953476036712451503 more energy.
That looks like quite the nice piece of hardware, if only it had sd card or cf support.
I bought a DS Lite a couple of months ago, and decided to get one of the homebrew enabler devices for it.
This is how they work.
What you've got to have is basically three things. One, you need some memory. This memory can be flash, a harddrive, ram, it doesn't matter. Most solutions I've seen either use flash that can only be upgraded with a special usb interface, or they use a standard sd card / cf card / mmc card interface. Two, you need an application ( an OS if you will) that will read this memory and select files in the memory to run. Three, you need to trick the DS into thinking it's allowed to run DS code. If the ds doesn't authenticate itself for running ds code on startup, then you'll be stuck running GBA code only.
The solution I bought is two things, a mini-sd card memory interface and the OS built into a gba cartridge, and a seperate DS authenticator that goes into the DS slot. How does the authenticator work? Well you've got three choices. You either flash your ds so it doesn't do a security check, put in a piece of hardware that uses a seperate commercial cartridge to fake the security check, or you use a newer device that knows how to do the security check all on it's own. I bought the newer type of device, and it fits into the ds slot without protruding at all.
The gba cartridge i bought is from a company called SuperCard. There are other manufacturors, mainly the people who make the movie player, a company called m3. Supercard makes three different cartridges for sd type cards. One for SD, one for mini-sd, and one for micro-sd a.k.a. trans-flash. The sd version protrudes a little from a normal DS, while the mini-sd will fit perfectly into a normal DS. The micro-sd version wasn't available yet when I purchased mine, it fits perfectly into the DS-Lite without protruding. It came out a week after i bought mine. Since I have a DS-Lite, I was just a lil annoyed.
Anyways, it works great. Every commercial rom I've tried works, and as a result I bought mario and luigi partners in time (I didn't realize it was similar to SuperMario RPG), and a casino game, and decided super princess peach was garbage. I can also use my DS now to play mp3s, videos (after a lone encoding process that I do while I sleep), and tv shows. And of course, there's all the homebrew stuff as well. When I start school in september I'll be seeing if I can do some programming of it on my own.
It's actually wrong to say that time is the nth dimension. Dimensions have no specific order.
And according to string theory, there is actually 9 or 10 spatial dimensions, and one time dimension, but they're not really sure whether that 10th spatial dimension is actually a spatial dimension.
The Elegent Universe by Brian Greene is an excellent book about string theory if you're interested.
WELL DUH Ethereal neads root access.... cause that's the only way you're going to get raw socket access.
Linux was designed on purpose to only give raw socket access to root, because ordinary users do not need raw sockets. Linux has plenty of support for using the internet legit, and the only reason you need raw sockets is to spoof your ip address, log someone else's traffic, etc etc
So if you're going to give an example of a program that requires root access on linux, think of a logical one. Ethereal is an administrative application, and allows a user to perform administrative tasks.
Yes, students, spend your summer working in a greasy McDonalds getting the worlds largest pimple collection, instead of spending it doing something fun and challenging with flexible hours and working from home while doing something good for the state of humanity.
Yes, but the XBOX 360 uses the x86 architecture. Something that has been around for decades and is long overdue for an update. The revolution uses a completely different architecture, one that has been designed from scratch using modern information and methods.
Even comparing the cores or architectures of two processors is stupid though, take alook at the Athlon64 and the Opteron. About the only difference in a single core CPU is the cache and suport for ECC ram, they both have almost identical cores. But a 2Ghz Opteron will floor a 2 Ghz Athlon64
Too bad an embedded coffee mug wouldn't heat a cup of coffee.. A coffee maker uses around 1000 watts of energy, and a mug warmer about 100 or 200 watts.
An AMD Geode embedded processor uses 14 Watts for the fastest one, and 0.9 Watts for the "El Cheapo"
Assuming that all of the Watts is put towards heat, You'd need over 8 of the 'spensive ones to keep your coffee warm.

World's Slimmest Phone
·
· Score: 3, Informative
The thickness of the phone is not limited by the inclusion of a camera or mp3 player. A ccd and a lense are tiny compared to what limits the thickness, and that's the size of the antenna according to the article.
Phones aren't going to get any smaller until they use a different technology to transmit their radio waves, or until someone finds out how to make the antenna smaller. So if they can put in a camera and an mp3 player for a few extra bucks while not increasing the size, then they should go for it.
"I had put myself on/DND with the note that I was watching movies and was not paying much attention to the game, which i muted because of the movies I was watching"
Now afaik, the Blizzard GM's will whisper you if they think you are a bot. And what does dnd do? blocks all whispers and instead sends an automated reply telling them that he is watching movies.
So someone reports him as botting, gm checks it out, gm get's automated reply saying he's not at the computer while the character continues to attack a mob, he get's banned, end of story.
Regardless of what he was actually doing, he told a blizzard gm through his dnd message, that he was away from is machine, aka that he was botting.
Never mind the fact that whether or not he is violating a specific rule of the tos or not, he is clearly violating the spirit in which that rule was made.

I paid 170 CAD for mine a week ago, at WalMart. 150 before tax, and I got a DS Lite. 150 euros is 215 CAD, so I'm basically saving 45 bucks.

It's unfortunate that someone decided to call you a troll. Had I any moderator points I would have marked you insightful.
Your post is both polite and logical, if just a little cold. Unfortunatly, cold is warrented in this case.
So to the idiot who thinks it's wrong to tell someone when they're being stupid, well you just need life to teach you a few lessons.
To wowbagger, better luck on your next post.
So now everyone can have their own robot controled by their brain. But there's a catch! (omg) You only need your own billion dollar mri machine!
