they portrayed him the way he wanted to be remembered => the report was not biased
This is a terrible logical argument. I don't know if it's true that he was honest and kind as a president but his desire to be remembered as such does not make him so.
Regardless of his merit, may he rest in peace. Simply to serve in that position without going insane is an accomplishment in my mind.
These people have done no research and have no idea of what's good in every category. How could they mention point and shoot cameras without even touching on Leica's entry into the market. This is Leica people, as in best lenses in the world. They talk about speakers as if all that's important is a subwoofer, this list is not for slashdot, it's for suckers.
how about reading the article and noticing that this issue is covered in it? how about posting on livejournal if you don't really care about what other people think and just want to have a monologue? how about clicking to resize a window is teh suxors and simply pressing a key while moving your mouse in a direction should resize the window in that direction? how about I stop being dry and rhetoric and an asshole? fine!
whereas I agree that the lower level situations arise, I would say your ability to think outside whatever box you are in is more valuable than the size of the box. I mean, if the problem is not in the assembler, maybe it's in the operating system. If not there, maybe it's in the drivers for the hardware you're working with, etc. You can't know everything, as the OP (star trek funny guy:) was alluding to. So the most valuable thing I think is when you come across a problem and your instinct says "compilers don't do that" you have to say, wtf, maybe they do.
But another approach of course is to have lots of different people on a project that have different boxes, some lower level and some higher. And as a matter of fact most enterprises have just that approach.
You point out something subtly - the "purists" said the same thing when people stopped learning machine language and went straight to fancy languages like java and c#. Do you need to know how assembly is compiled into machine code then put into memory and fetched by the CPU (with lots of nop in the case of x86:)? If you're working on your typical enterprise system no, you don't need to know that. It's nice because it gives you a big picture and something to talk about at the water cooler but I don't see anyone around that knows how to take square roots by hand and use abacuses.
Yeah, I don't see them (I didn't look too hard) Trust me on this, I know you may be opposed to it at first but this is the reason I love VLC:
f - toggle full screen s - stop [spacebar] - play/pause [alt]+[left arrow] - go back 10 seconds [alt]+[right arrow] - go forward 10 seconds [ctrl]+[left arrow] - go back 1 minute [ctrl]+[right arrow] - go forward 1 minute [ctrl]+[up arrow] - volume up [ctrl]+[down arrow] - volume down
there's more and you can customize everything from the preferences. Though, as someone else said, the preferences menu is a little unintuitive. If I worked on it, I wouldn't change the organization I would add documentation built into the app itself.

oh, bummer man Actually I remember the wireless just wouldn't work on my dad's router (microsoft 710). But it worked right away when I changed to channel 11 on my D-Link 624+
I'm sure you know about the usb LAN adapter on nintendo's online store. If you're forced to use no encryption, you can turn on MAC filtering and reduce the power of the wireless radio. I've got mine set to 50% power and it still works great in my apartment but can't be picked up outside.
I have a projector, panasonic somethin 900. It's a 720p projector, excellent image even on my stucco beige wall! It was a little tough to get the wii hooked up to it and positioned so I don't step in front of the projector, but it's so worth it to play tennis like that. It's like playing in real life man, unfreakinbelievable.
First off, I love the Wii and I got really into it. Wii Tennis actually helped me discover a bad motion I had in my backhand and I've been playing tennis since I was 8. In response to the parent and a few other posts,
7. Wireless connection troubles...the only way I can get my Wii to connect consistently is to turn off WEP and WPA/WPA2. I have to make my WAP open (and I've tried two different access points/routers) for it to work consistently and reliably...again, that seems just wrong to me.
enable WEP, WAP, mac filtering, whatever you like on your AP or router, but make sure that you set the Wireless Channel to either Channel 11 or 1. They tell you this in the documentation and the website will help you troubleshoot any error codes you might have. http://www.nintendo.com/wii
1.... None of us are very good at golf.
heh, yeah that happened to me too. Until I stood up and swung the remote as if it was a real live golf club. Most important is putting, you gotta square up and really get a pendulum action going with your arms. It takes a little practice but it works great once you get used to it. What you have to remember with the golf club is it takes both the speed of the swing and the length of the swing into account for the power of the swing.
The ecological system would be affected by this. If the sun's energy is being converted to electricity it can't do its usual job of heating the planet. Then again, the electricity being used up often involves generation of heat. I wonder if either of these transfers are significant enough to cause a problem for our pretty blue planet.
This guy is a menace - positively malicious. What is he defending? Copyright? YouTube already has a way to do that, the offended parties can just flag their own videos. Anything more than that and it wouldn't be the brilliant communication medium that has brought so many people the world over together for debate and discussion. I personally think YouTube and the Internet are the culminations of incredible advancements in technology made by giants of history. It is what many men of vision have dreamed of since the beginning of time.
So fuck you Cuban, with your fucked up ignorant mentality.
There are lots of algorithms that would benefit a programmer's training. Lots of math behind those algorithms. So if you're training a programmer, have them pick the area they'd like to go into (networking, graphics, etc.) and teach them the math that pertains to those algorithms.
I don't think anyone should train programmers though, I think people should train software architects who will have to do programming early in their career. For them, teach math that deals with abstraction. Linear Algebra, automata and computability, graph theory, set theory, relational calculus. Then go into some nitty gritty stuff like differential equations (yuck!!!) just to show them that the world is not as fluffy as modeling concepts lead you to believe. But please, max 1 semester of this horrible math stuff, it rots the heart IMHO
Here's what I'd do in your situation. I'd climb up the ladder at this.net company and convince them to do business with the perl people. Then you can work in that group and you have the best of both worlds:)
If not that, consider that a lot of people are telling you to take the perl job as if the.net job is going to be hell. This is possible, but every situation is what you make it. You're a developer, not a congress librarian. Take the.net job and make it fun. As an example, the job I'm at right now required business casual dress and 8 to 6 hours everyday. I come in around 10 and wear jeans and don't tuck my shirt in and I shave on mondays. I do whatever I feel like because I'm valuable to the project and the people I work with love me. Do the same thing, make yourself irreplaceable and make your managers want to keep you around forever.
The reason I lean towards.net is that large software makes money, not small software. And you don't see many IT managers choosing perl for big projects simply because having Microsoft or Sun behind your project is just looked upon as more stable than having OSS behind it. I personally would much rather code in Haskell than either of these languages.
I'm thoroughly impressed with Google services. That being said, Google "software" sucks. Only Google Desktop and Google Earth stand out, and Google Earth was acquired from Keyhole. Furthermore, compared to X1 or spotlight or even good old slocate, Google Desktop sucks. It took up 2 gigabytes of hard drive space to index a 40 gig drive, that's really really bad.
So I don't really care that Google would partner with any specific OS vendor, because their value is in their services which can be accessed with a browser.
Your mentality is great for a bugfixer, and you make excellent points about the community you're trying to build. But as of 6.06, Ubuntu is promising to be a user friendly, supported, complete operating system. If this is the case, the user should in the *worst* case have to run an update to get fixes and/or click ok to a "send bug" dialog box. They should not have to submit any bug reports, read any newsgroups, apply any manual fixes, or do anything that they don't currently do in their operating systems of choice (mac ox, windows). I will personally try to submit bug reports every time I need to, but don't expect my grandma to.
That's a good analogy, but you're forgetting one thing. The FCC and his wife being gone has not stopped him from being popular. I thought it would, but 5 million people signed up for Sirius and proved me wrong. It's these very people that make him relevant. He's someone that people enjoy listening to, no matter what he talks about. I think it's his hypnotic voice and his sexual awareness that makes him interesting. But above all I find him interesting because he's a great way for me to find out what a lot of people are interested in, so it lets me see the world in a truer light.
I agree with the sibling poster that said you should run this on a stripped down version of linux. However, computers fail, linux or not. Power goes out, mice chew network cables, etc. In addition to keeping the host stable, what you can do with VMWare (which is touched very lightly upon in the article) is to take the virtual disk storage off the physical host. This allows many hosts to have access to the virtual machines. So if one host all of a sudden bites the dust, just boot up your VMs from another host and up you go - almost no downtime compared to restoring from backups on a different physical machine.
I love speakeasy, I wish they made sense for me financially but they just don't. As far as your problem with port 80, maybe you know this maybe you don't:
Open up an account with dyndns (it's very inexpensive for a year and well worth it) From dyndns, set up your domain to point to port 90. Like set up a mask for www.domain.com to www.domain.com:90 Then from your home router, set up port 90 to point to port 80 on the computer you wish to host.
You can use this trick to host different subdomains on different computers and all sorts of other tricks. I have apache and iis running on the same system hosting different subdomains.
I'm sure others have pointed out, lol, but 13.5 * 29 = 391.5 That's pretty far from 500 and that's when you end up on Red. That'll probably take you around 350 miles before you refuel. With Electricity there's always the option of a crank to get you a couple more miles (or is that dumb).
