The measurements are reliable and the web site is fully functional. However, the web site is run on development hardware which is old, slow and not monitored for availability.
OK, the FIRST thing they need to do is dump the large picture on the main page. 140K seems just a bit on the large size for a main page, especially on "old, slow" hardware.
Just in case anybody's curious, Using 16.5 feet = 5 rods and 63 gallons = 1 hog's head, I come up with 4032 gallons per mile for Grandpa Simpson's car.
Close... there is actually a rather large-nosed penguin riding Spirit around, trying to make his way back to the good ole US of A. Too bad it's not "bigger n' a *@#?!!* Abrams tank"...

Between it, abcde, audacity and gnuphonograph, your sound needs are covered.
What is gnuphonograph? I did a quick search on Sourceforge, Freshmeat, and Google, and didn't come up with anything. I'm guessing it is something to help record audio from vinyl? If so, could be handy for me. I'm looking for software that can help remove the pops and similar from such recordings.
All arguements about the existence of evolution aside, I agree completely. I've been saying that forever. After I say that, they look at me like "a chicken egg you dope!" To which I respond, "how do you define a chicken egg? An egg containing a chicken, or laid by a chicken?" Naturally, it is quite easy to determine which came first, once that is defined.
On a similar vein, it is either 1/2 full or 1/2 empty, depending on whether it in the process of being filled or emptied, although getting to the original reason for THAT question, I'm generally of the "1/2 full" croud.
My brother used to do something along the lines of letter c. He'd take the call, be polite listening to the spiel for a bit, then "have" to go let the dog in/out. He'd excuse himself to go take care of this, put the phone down and walk away. He may actually have let the dog out, but that was irrelevent. He'd come back 5-10 minutes later, and hang up.
You know, I had almost forgotten that you could get TV without cable or satellite. Silly luddites and their airwave TV.
Hello:) My name is Joe and I'm an airwave TV luddite. I do have cable coming into the apartment, but only for internet. My wife and I were checking out a new apartment yesterday, and asked about access to our present Internet/cable company (Wide Open West) since we would rather not change email addresses. She said probably not to them, but that they had Comcast, and barring that satellite. This is after I explained that we only needed ISP services, and didn't care about cable TV. We get plenty of channels off the air, including CBC (Detroit area). I don't think she could grasp the concept. And no, she wasn't thinking about using the satellite ISP services, either.
That's an extremely cruel thing to be doing to cars! I mean, jeesh, the next thing you know we'll be enslaving the poor things, and making them do our bidding: driving us places, being forced to stay outside in the weather... oh, wait. nevermind.
Did somebody read something that I didn't? I didn't see Linus mentioned anywhere in the article. Nor did I see anything specifically saying that Transmeta was going under. Yes, these are both posibilities, but not it seems that some of us are kinda jumping to conclusions.

Um, no. On the whole, they were not terrorists. As a group, they were fighting against England, specifically, the British army. The Colonists did not attack the public in general, or private citizens. Terrorism is "the unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence to intimidate or coerce societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons" (American Heritage College Dictionary). Today it seems to have become a way to simply terrorize a group of people. Yes, certain people may have been doing this, but it was not the whole purpose of the war.
I'm trying to figure out why this is news. I mean, find a contact switch and throw it on the connector. Why does this take 3 different formats of 'documentation' to say that?
I figured there would be something more interesting, like creating a whole subsystem that could figure out what more than just "case open". I figured there'd be something like using the serial port to talk to this system, and perhaps using the mb connection to let it know that there was an event to look into. HOW disappointing!
What I can't understand in all this is that I'm sharing these from other gnutella users. Sure, they are injected through malice (or avarice), but what is wrong in the heads of users that they don't understand that this is our network, and our responsibility to clean up the file naming? Nobody is going to step in and do it for us. It's only going to get worse over time, and I'd rather download three different but accurately named versions of the same file than one misnamed version that turns out to be another badly encoded asian lipstick lesbian popup spawning commercial.
Looks like it's already working on at least one person
I used to work at a RS up by the Twin Cities. They had an interesting Frankenstien's moster setup. It was some sort of a DOS based system, which was run in Win95. It also used a weird network protocol to talk to the 'server' in back. I can't remember just what type it was. The best part was, this RS also rented videos, so you had to go into a different DOS program to take care of that. Thankfully, we had 3 POS machines, so 2 of them could stay on the video program (we got more business on that side). I remeber thinking how ugly the system was, and great it would be to have something like Linux on them.
OK, I was looking at the JPL site, and I must say that
this picture is just amazing. The brick is 2.5 Kg, and the aerogel holding it up is 2 g. Just completely amazing, even if the basic technology is years old. Actually, especially because it is so old.
Eh, even if you forgot it's tax day, you can at least file for an extension which will buy you some more time. So all is not lost.
I actually just did this... quite painless. Note, however, that if you end up owing taxes, you will at least have to pay interest on them, if you don't pay them now. Kinda weird: "I don't know how much I'll finally need to pay, but here is what I owe." At any rate, for those who need to do so, go here

My first thought was "What does .Net have to do with 'programming' little memory cards for Digital cams/PDAs/Apple // computers?"

But firearm acquisition and use ought to be at least as closely monitored as library book usage.
"closely montored" as in many libraries deciding to not keep any record of who borrowed what?
