You may think the keyboard is better because you can type with one hand, but I like the grafitti because I can write without looking at the palm at all. Useful when i'm taking notes from whiteboard, or while driving.
Um, people make a living by making themselves useful to other people. It's as simple as that. If you can't find someone with something (money, food) of value to give you in return for something you have (objects, work, information), then you're going to starve (or go on welfare). Sorry, but the world doesn't owe you anything, not even a job. If you want to be sure you won't be fired, work for yourself.
Well, if I wanted to forward a copy of an email someone sent me, I'd whip out my digital camera, take one (some) pictures of the screen if necessary, and forward them. Sure they could be doctored, but so could the original email be forged. Basically if I can see the information with my eyes, I can forward it with a large degree of fidelity.
Elliptic Curve Encription isn't 'owned' by Sun. Apple owns some pattent related to it that they got from NeXT (search for Richard Crandall). And it was invented by someone else entirely (see comments above).
First, scanning negatives with a film scanner will give you better results, but you state that you're poor, so that's out.
Second, you can split the image files from the scanner by size. This would require that you setup the photos that you scan groups of photos that are all the same size together, and get them placed in the same place on the scanner. Even then, you'd end up with either some white space around the photos, or they'd be cropped a tiny bit.
The third option (the one I think you had in mind) is image processing. pnmcrop (http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pnmcrop.html) will crop off the white or black border around a photo, but probably won't handle 4 photos at once. If you can fit your 4 photos within 4 static boxes, you can crop to those boxes by size, then use pnmcrop to chop off the extra white border.
When we moved, we got cable. But we also got a Tivo. You don't want one. I watch too much TV now, but at least it's 'good' TV (The West Wing, Simpsons, various outdoors programs).
What I don't understand is why OS-X is so slow. I've got a 33MHz 68040 with 64MB that's more responsive than a 233MHz G3 with 160, even when the G3 isn't swapping (which it does often). According to my RC5-64 crackers, the G3 is 30 _times_ faster than the NeXT. Sure, there's more eye candy in OS-X, but the NeXT UI is cleaner, more clear to understand, and _easier_to_use_! People complain about OS-X's UI being "NeXTified", but the NeXT UI was just as clean as Platinum. Yes it wasn't as spacially oriented (no Desktop stock, and Icon view was always in 'grid' mode), but that sure seemed to work better for large networked filesystems. Besides, the 'shelf' at the top of browser windows would give you a place to keep shortcuts to different file(s)/folders. So where did the OS-X UI nightmare come from? Where's Keith Olfs's when we need him?:-)
According to my geology classes, it's believed that the clathrates help to regulate the global temperature. When the seas are deep, and the amount of ice at the poles is low, then methane is sequested in the clathrates deep in the ocean. When an ice age comes and the ice at the poles grows so large as to lower the sea level and pressure enough the clathrates release the methane. Since methane is a greenhouse gas, it helps to end the ice age and start the cycle again.
Yeah, that's what it looks like from here at the new company I work for. We were a fairly well run, cohesive unit with respected products and a large market share. Then we merged. Large company politics now seem more important than either the customers or the products. And our stock price shows it!:-(
The first thing you should have done as Technical Contact for the porn site is to point at a web page that kept the porn sight from making money. They would have fixed the problem in a day, two at most.
You don't have to have displays with the same geometry and color-depth to do Monitor Spanning (at least not in MacOS, or NeXTStep). For mirroring, of course you do, since the fact that they are same requires the same resolution;-)
Definately. I would have just bought the $129 version and complained about the price and then installed it on 3 Macs, but felt guilty about it. I may still do that, but I'm probably going to get the $199 family pack to ease my guilty conscience:-)
It may be that developing the windows version is >>50% of the expenses (especially since marketing into the windows market can be so expensive), so that 35% of revenues costs too much.
However, I do care that when it is distributed, it is distributed in verbatum, and that I am not
bein misrepresented.
Can I at least fix the typos?

That site is at least partially wrong. They state that it's the IR and UV that damages your eyes, not the visible light. The IR won't damage your eye, it's even lower energy than visible light.
Well, that's part of the science _fiction_. Do you deny that in the future, with future technology that it will be impossible to get good estimates of a person's capabilities based, not on one gene, but by looking at their DNA as a whole?

"More then thought" should be "more _than_ thought".

Hey, we're looking at Randomness, not infinities here!

Garbage Collection and 'real' exceptions are things that I think Objective-C could use. But compared to C--, I'll take Objective-C any day.

Are you crazy? Apple would never start using some off the wall, 'open source' software with a BSD license!

Thank god it's CLI only. The java/X gui to install Oracle 9i on Solaris is a shit-hole dog! :-)

yeah, but in Japan you can buy 2 liter cans of beer on the street in vending machines.

Yeah, but networks go out of fashion, and to get our data from one side of the room to the other, we have to resort to sneeker-net.

We really need a +1 (ironic) moderation for this :-)
