As someone else as already said, you can put current 3D glasses they give in the cinema over your normal glassess (I do that as I wear glasses).
I find it a bit awkward to do. However, I am sure that when home 3D-TV are common, there will be lots o offers for better 3D glasses, of different prices and styles.
I am waiting to get 3D glasses of the "clip on" kind, like the sun clip-on glasses you can buy to put over your normal spectacles.
BTW has anyone noted that when you put a finger between the two lenses of the 3D glasses (in the cinema) the 3D effect is turned off?, can anyone explain why? =o)
I am currently living in ex-GDR where there are lots of "eastern bloc" countires. I've traveled to Bulgaria, Croatia and CZ and have good friends from Serbia and Syria.
From this experiences, I have to agree with the other AC wo stated that chicks over there look for RICH and CONFIDENT guys.
Oh yeah... I forgot to add that I have been using the same firefox session for over one week now (since the beginning of the year) as I do not close or turn off the computer but hibernate.
Firefox has come a long way from its leaky days. I was frustrated by the leaking but nowadays it feels OK for me.
Google Toolbar may be leaky. However I guess the initial amount of memory for Firefox is actually high (higher than say, Opera or IE).
Right now I am using Firefox 3.5.5 on Win XP. I have 3 windows open: Window 1 with 13 tabs including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Notebook and Slashdot. Window 2: 19 Tabs (some wikipedia, Eurostat sites, etc)
Window 3: 2 tabs Google search.
In addition I have the following extensions:Adblock Plus, Delicious bookmarks, DOM inspector, downthemall, fireftp, grasemonkey, pricedrop, sage, scrapbook stop-or-reload button, stylish, tab mix plus, tinymenu treestyle tab, xmarks.
All that makes 476,620K as measured by Process Explored "Private Bytes" field. I would not say it is a lot of memory =oP. This machine has 2 GB of RAM. and According to RAMPage I have 700 MB free. (and I've got a total of 25 windows opened including Word, Excel, Forefox, Outlook, Explorer, etc) distributed in 4 VirtuaWin virtual desktops.
No - all that hiring an expensive lawyer does is give you someone to sue if you follow their advice and still get sued into oblivion by the other party.
So your plan is to sue a lawyer??? you will need a lawyer for that I guess.... oh shit.
Good, then lets put a camera, mobile phone, GPS, clock and pager to the e-book rader!
I think this make sense because I usually am waiting for a call while reading and listening for music when I am on a trip. Sometimes I want to know where along the trip am I, what time is it and if I need to take my pills. Oh, and of course I like taking pictures of the places I go to read.
However, SDL does not provide a 3D graphics development API, for that you have amalgamate OpenGL code making it a bitch to maintain.
I am still suscribed to the SDL mailing list, IIRC SDL is a one or two man effort, I guess they moved on and nowadays they do not develop SDL full time.
What needs to happen is a company getting the SDL library and improving it... I won't hold my breath for that though.
Although it has been a while since I last programmed did 3D programming, I remember when I was into that, OpenGL had only a very limited standard instruction set and the more advanced things had to be done via "extensions" which where implemented as an ugly hack.
In addition to that, if you wanted to make a complete multimedia application using OpenGL you needed to glue togheter several independent technologies (OpenGL+ sound lib + network lib + inputdev lib, etc) while DirectX provided everything under API (with standard programming conventions) and a *great* API documentation (MSDN is the best documentation for any library...).
I remember there were efforts to release a next version of OpenGL, but the consortium companies where fighting against each other without agreeing on anything.
Thank God at least they put your whole user profile in the c:\users\ directory - wait, do they, or is user crap still sprinkled around in c:\program files\blah
Which incidentally, can not be moved to an alternative partition or drive (something that could be done in previous versions of Windows, at least until XP).
Why does Microsoft keeps disabling features with each new version of Windows?
During my Software Engineering major I had both types of math. Nowadays, I have forgot all of it, except whatever I am using. But at least, I know what to look for (and where to look for it...e.g. those big and expensive text books) if I need it.
University (bachellors degree) is meant to show it the breadth of your field. The more you know exists, the better for you.
Now, the submitter does not specify what degree is he/she studying... if it is CS I would incline more for the 'Selected math chapters' option, whereas if he is in Software Engineering (or the like) I would go for 'Discreet structures with graph theory'.
caution you that there are many other science professions which require math to varying degrees. The above statement could also be true of phycisists, chemists and maybe even biologists.
Or as someone has pictured it better... obligatory.
windows may display and communicate with each other
Could anyone explain me why does this happen? A web page is supposed to be an isolated html document. Granted, a javascript/html command may instruct to open a new window with X or Y URL but there is no need to have communication between them.
This is a good thing. Firefox desperately needs to modernize. About the only killer feature left in Firefox is customization. Other browsers have already caught up to Firefox in speed, features, and standards support.
Yeah... the *only* thing preventing me from leaving Firefox is... Sage, ScrapBook, TinyMenu, Zotero, Tree Style Tab, Xmarks, Greasemonkey, Downthemall, Adblockplus, Delicious, and refSpoof.
The moment a browser has all these features available *AND* is better to Firefox, I will install it to test if I *reaaaaaally* need to migrate.
And BTW: Had I wished to steal massive amounts of data, I could have still simply sent them via e-mail in a password-encrypted archive. It's a matter of trust, not only of making it difficult. So basically powerful and clueless management are equally effective as power-abusing admins.
Nah, that is to easy to detect. It is better to use some type of steganography.
I think you need to work 'little' more to understand why it is actually the other way around. And to get it why Java is more successful than C#.
I thought exactly the same, 1.5 years of working with a language?
Two years in the school does not count because you did not need to clean and correct your shitty program after it stops working in the production servers.
Alas, Mono is still a part of the default Gnome distribution, just so they can have a note taking applet which takes 189MB memory (counting libraries used by it and no other process) and takes several seconds to start on beefy hardware while the C++ port of that very same code uses 5MB and starts near-instantly.
So, at last Novel achieved the real objective of.NET? - to be a complete replacement of the Java technology! - even Microsoft could not do that! bah!
Okaaay. I so I guess you're pretty militantly pro-legalization on marijuana, but aren't you spinning things a little bit too much by calling drug possession your "right to grow plants and have the products in your possession?"
Ok, let me start by saying that I do not do any psycotropic substance... besides coffee. (alcohol is very bad for my IBS).
Having said that, thing about it, it is just a damn plant. It is stupid to make it illegal to grow a plant. I can grow tomato in my backyard and smoke their leaves. I can grow cumin and allucinate by consuming it. I can grow grapes, ferment them and get freaking crazy with the fermented juice.
Why not grow a simple green plant and get groovy with its smoke?
There is no *real* crime on donig that! the crime would be to attack a third person/place while under the influence. But that is the same with any substance.
Shit, even if you get hipercaffeinated in the morning and your boss pisses you off enough your caffeine concentration may make you shout stuff you won't say otherwise.
Yup, I agree with you. My country has internal corruption struggles, terrible drug violence and other insecurity problems.
In addition my country is one of the most important traders with the USA, exports a lot of workforce to the USA and maintains a very interlinked economy with them...
Given all that, my country still does not need to fear about being attacked by Al-qaida or other similar type of Middle-east terrorism. Why? because Mexico has been neutral during most of the struggles (except when Germans attacked a Mexican ship).
Slashdot Mirror
My problem with current RealD technology is that I always manage to get the most dirty or stained glasses in the cinema...
However that will be diffeent when I get my 3D TV at home... now talking about porn movies and dirty glasses uhmm...

Just a warning that the language on that blog post is NSFW but it does provide evidence.
So, do you by any chance work in a church?

Lol... looking at the conversation in Usenet I read the following snippet:
I forget the exact name of the ftp site, but you should be able to
archie for it.
.
Its 1993 and you want to get info about a new software... who u gonna call?
Well duh, you are supposed to contribute because you like to do it. Whatever they give you back is a plus.
As for who is going to judge what is a significat contribution... I guess whoever is giving you the free T-Shirt (Shuttleworth?)
I concur that it is a good idea to take both.

people being beaten and jailed by police in china. And how did they got discovered? Well, they used the LiveCD [...] that's not windows
So, in a way we can say that Microsoft is guilty of promoting government opression in China?
Yay! I am the ultimate Slashdot troll!
My Linux install is not compatible with every 1 of 2 hardware devices.
Yes it's probably drivers but that was always the case with Linux and is due to its development model. ;-) Double standard much?
