I have no interest in a PDA phone and neither do the vast majority of people.
It's really disappointing, I would have loved to try to write some little apps for that thing, but due to its high price it no longer seems worth buying if there's not going to be an easy way to play around with it. Even my old and crippled cell phone from Cingular at least lets you download and install J2ME packages over the internet..
Hello skelter, you might get a few people who you dislike during interviews but the point of an interview is to find people who are qualified to work at your organization. If you don't like them then don't hire them, there's honestly no reason to be an ass about it.
Yeah, it's just you. There are a lot of variables that you have to worry about with fluorescent lights if you want to get something you can live with, namely the color temperature. I noticed that CFLs don't usually seem to list their color temperature directly, so you're probably looking for something around 3000K or "warm." Stay away from the higher temperatures ("daylight", 6000K+) if you don't want a really bright white.
What's worse is that they, last time I checked, don't have any useful information on the CFL packaging like color temperature or color rendering index.
Fluorescent lights contain mercury. Although one bulb breaking won't cause much damage, a lot of them will. I wouldn't drive to the dump for a single light, but rather store them in a box and take a whole bunch of them to your hazardous waste facility at one time.
I see a few problems with that CAPTCHA. First, it's one of the few CAPTCHAs that requires JavaScript to work, which is not its biggest problem. All of the images for the CAPTCHA are thrown out onto the page so it's just a matter of having a human identify each animal in each picture and an automated program can find "x" number of "y"s on the page. Not only that, but the CAPTCHA images themselves are easily accessible since they're put in the same directory with file names like 0.jpg, 1.jpg, etc.
On a side note, if one wants to add to the html tag collection, how about a universal close tag for the last opened tag, </>
I'm not sure why you would want this aside from not wanting to type a few extra characters. HTML is not a black box, and most modern editors make it easy to locate the opening tag if you need assistance. Plus, introducing something like this would make HTML harder to read by humans.
In fact, the only one recently is Zelda, which has music that transitions into other themes depending on the gameplay circumstances... that's not possible with acoustic recordings.
It is possible to do this without a MIDI-like setup. Some games that come to mind: Escape From Monkey Island and Phantasy Star Online. Both used prerecorded digital audio tracks but were able to make transitions in the music depending on the situation. It might be more difficult if you want to record a live performance and still have transitions, but I'm sure it's possible.
Hey, Linux absolutely kicks ass for servers. That is if you find writing backup scripts and writing traffic control rules fun (no sarcasm, sorry, it can be interesting.) I still personally use Windows on my desktop system though.
WTF? Is this a promotional site for a video game?!
Re:Reusable paper good idea but only in volume

That's an easy problem to work around. The reusable paper could, for example, have a colored border printed around the front. Or the paper itself could be a particular color to make it stand out.
This was an interesting article, but it got painful to read after a while. I would hope that SecuriTeam knows that PIN stands for Personal Identification Number.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to enter my Personal Identification Number Number into the Automatic Teller Machine Machine.
I use a randomly generated 32 character password for most sites and store all of them in text files inside an encrypted volume on my thumb drive. (Accessible from Windows immediately.) Of course, I also do backups regularly.
I always build my own systems. It's easy to save money when you don't need to buy things you already have. Plus, even in terms of playing games, you don't need *the best* (and often the most expensive) hardware to get a good experience.

I think creating the backronym is probably the most enjoyable part for them.

I'm pretty sure there used to be "Warning: Stop eating when full" printed on some snack bags..

The same limitations as other image-based CAPTCHAs
Five hundred and ninety nine US dollars wasn't enough?
Some of the older LucasArts games might interest you audio-wise.
Ever played The Dig? The ending of that adventure game made me cry.
Uh, you both missed the point. It should be "This just proves students will do anything for chocolate "
Um, they shoot themselves quite frequently, but it doesn't seem to be working..
Ha, I'd pay $50 for those 5 Metal Slug games!
dvdisaster does the same thing basically but is easier if you intend on making error correction codes for entire discs.
