Comments are a part of the fabric of the culture of slashdot, and unless you expect them to be worth something, why do you feel it necessary to reserve all rights? Not to mention that putting something on a website that needs to be copied many times in order to be seen by anyone and then 'reserving all rights' is ridiculous.
Imagine distributed.net being a CPU co-op. They take problems from clients in need of a ton of CPU, farm it out to distributed.net members, and at the end of the month/year you get a small check for all the CPU cycles you spent helping solve problems.
You didn't read my post. I didn't say the linksys was better, I said his P2 box wasn't _more_ flexible. That was stretching it, since I assume he had empty slots, but the Linksys is ~$80, has 6 interfaces (one wireless), is silent, consumes 10watts, is smaller and simpler. And it runs linux. That was my point. It runs linux, so how is it worse than the P2? It's just as flexible. (Well, up to the 5 ethernet and 1 wireless interfaces). The only point that I would take to heart is that the P2 can boot directly of CDROM, where as you'd have to make a hardware mod to make it impossible for a hacker to reflash the boot code on your linksys. Then again, for the truely paranoid, you'd better make sure you can't reflash your P2's bios just using software...
but if the counting machine isn't the checking machine, it leaves open the possibility that differences in calibration lead to miscounted votes. I suppose that holes could also be counted differently on different machines, but that seems much less likely.
And if you want to bring it into the new millenium, then put a touch screen kiosk in there with a 'printer' which after you make your selections, it punches the holes for you and spits the ballot out. You then review it, put it in the privacy sleeve and walk it to the ballot box. Or you feed it back into the 'printer', where it's destroyed and you try again.
Now that the price differenece isn't so great, the quality difference between the Apple/OS-X experience and the PC/Windows experience is what will bring people back to Apple. Remember, for lots of people, especially people with money to burn, Quality is very important, and worth paying for. Sure, no one would buy BMW or Mercedes if you couldn't drive on the same roads, but the Apple/PC situation is more akin to driving an electric car or diesel. Sure it can be more of a hassle to fill up, but the other benefits are worth it.
Exactly. and the other reply pointed me at fltk.org, which is also way more that I need, but may be modular enough that when I just link in the routines I need it may be small enough.
What sort of neighborhood do you live in that you pull out the 50-cal when the power goes out? When the power goes out around here, all the neighbors get together out in the street to talk and usually cook up a BBQ!
From the FAQ: Qt/Embedded can be configured to for ROM requirements between 800k and 3M, depending on what features are enabled.
I'm working on a new software load for the Ceiva (ver 2), and 800k ROM just for the graphics is way to heavyweight.
Every DNS server doesn't have to know all the root servers, if every root server knows about every TLD.
You really only need to know one top-level server that responds. It needs to know about the requested TLD, or be able to refer you to another top-level server that _may_ know about the requested TLD, or be able to refer you to another top-level server that has a higher priority of knowing about the requested TLD. Eventually, you'll find the record you are looking for. Obviously, if the first server knows the record, you're better off.
way back when in college, the most interesting thing was that the program couldn't do I/O during the execution, only as an exit value. That makes useful daily programs difficult to write in a 'purely functional' language. The review talks about monads being a solution, but I can't see that putting something on the screen our worse a printer is something that can be undone. Therefore, I/O must be a side-effect, so how can a real 'purely functional' language like haskel do I/O?
At/near top speed, the total amount of force the engine can generate isn't going to accelerate the car, but it is going to counteract air resistance. So, if you have a car with 200HP going at top speed (not rev/speed limited), your tires are taking all the force of those 200HP and applying it to the pavement. The difference between that situation and accelerating from a stop is that the potential differential in velocity between the road and the tire surface when at top speed is very low, but when starting from a stop that potential differential in velocity can be large.
That's so bizarre. I swear I've seen that before, but I can't find that now (I'm still at 10.3.2 right now). But I'm sure I saw that in an older release (OS 9 maybe?)
Well, when the economy is a mess and children of the poor who joined up because it was that or flipping burgers are sent off to war so the rich can drive their Hummers without taking it in the neck on gas prices, people see even a volunteer army as a social injustice.
Best example I had of this was watching 'Flash Gordon' the second time. The first time, when I was nine or whatever, it was amazing. The second time I was so embarassed that I told my friends it was good!

Well, according to Meriam Webster.com, it's both, an Acronym and an abbreviation, like FBI.
Um, no. Minidisc uses ATRAC, a Sony proprietary codec, not AAC.
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) _is_ an acronym. Please capitalize :-)
Slashdot was a social network site! I've even got friends here! :-)

...customized Linux firewall distro...Much more customizable than a Linksys box.
Well, this site seems to disagree that your old pentium II box is more flexible than at least some linksys routers.
Bring my your receipt from the last vote showing that you voted for who I told you to vote for or I'll {break your legs, fire you, ...}
There's a reason why voting is anonymous. It's so your vote can't be used against you.
But an empty ballot isn't necessarily an invalid one.

While I've got a OC-192!
Oh wait, the servers I want to get to should be on fast connections too!

Is that something like... /dev/random | grep `cat troll samples` :-)

I run qmail, I love it. But doing things like using rsync to backup my home directory with 165,000+ files just under ~/Maildir is getting painful!
