hmm if you want to receive a call someone has to have the number.
i guess you could give every contact a seperate list of numbers each to the used once only but that would mean carrying a lot of cellphones if you had a lot of contacts
well there is ofc the possibility that he didn't really purchase it.
There is also the possibility he has kids who cause a dramatic increase in the proportion of the collection backed up
then there is the possibility he just thinks like an archivist and doesn't want to lose anything (its all very well saying get it again if that happens but sometimes that could be easier said than done. Less so in the internet age but it could still be hard).
there is one method that i can think of though telcos and cablecos would hate it
require all providers of last mile ip communitcations to accept voip requests on a special reserved ip and send those to the appropriate 911 department.
then require that the voip providers provide equipment that supports using it
i see rendering issues in firefox over on wikipedia from time to time its a known bug with the rendering system. (its some kind of race condition with the way firefox incrementally renders the page afaict)
yeah the thing is that the eye is FAR less sensitive to resoloution of the color than it is to resoloution of the intensity.
a conventional 3 megapixel RGBG CCD has less resoloution in the color (0.75 megapixel in red and blue 1.5 megapixel in green) than in the intensity (3 megapixel) a stacked 3x3megapixel sensor has the same resoloution in all 3 color channels and in the intensity.
i can't see it being much use to the DOE or the military because they usually aren't anywhere near as concerned about things like weight as nasa.
for nasa weight is FAR more important than parts cost. Every gram you save is a gram that could go on improving functionaility elsewhere (assuming your payload weight is pretty much fixed which it is unless you change launcher)
for example the solar panels used in space are far more costly (in both financial and energy terms) to produce than anything we would dream of using for normal power generation on earth but the power to weight ratio makes them worth it for nasa.
yeah but there are reliability issues, issues integrating with the unfolding systems issues regarding scratching the pannels (especilly if you don't use water and water in space is expensive++ because you have to take it with you).
theese aren't cars you can just drive them to the local garage when something breaks you have to live with it broken for the rest of the mission and if its really serious it may end the mission
nasa decided on a design lifetime and sized the pannels to provide enough power during that lifetime. Its great that the rovers are still going but lets not forget that they were not designed to last this long.
but then you need to make a patch to send back to the original coder. I think diff and patch have an ignore whitespace option but i still think the result of such a patch process (makeing a patch against reprocessed code to use against the original) would leave quite a mess when the patch was applied.
afaict IE does not support internationalised domain names at all
Mozilla does support them but i belive they now have the feature off by default due to the behaviour of the registries (ie no restrictions whatsoever therefore making it very easy to take a name that renders identically to someone elses)
so a plugin is the only option for ie users and may be the best way for mozilla users
the original 8086 was a 16 bit cpu. The 8088 which was a cut down version used in the early pcs only had an 8 bit external bus but it still had a 16 bit core and instruction set.
the dropping of support for win16 is going to be a pita though. Hopefully we will see some third party soloution to let us keep running tetris,rattlerrace etc
from what i can gather the most likely explanation is that fermat had a false proof which did not survive but he didn't get rid of the margin note for whatever reason
if he had a real proof of the general case why would he have done a proof of the n=4 special case later?
if you are going to do this you may as well go the whole hog and use a lossless format like png
scanning your photo library into jpeg is like ripping your cd collection into mp3. You can't change from one lossy format to another without losing even more quality.
i highly doubt they are dumpster diving for kit that actually goes into space (i belive they have been known to do it for fixing old ground support systems though)
a 486 that goes into space isn't going to be a normal 486 its going to be a version with rad hardening and possiblly other changes
yes its possible to put multiple frames in a gif and specify no delay and therefore get truecolor but most browsers seem to put in a delay anyway (and its exactly the same delay in every browser i've tried go figure) also there is a pretty large filesize penalty (its hard to tell exactly how high because the only thing i could find capable of creating such images doesn't support compression)

i seem to remember reading that ms provide an upsizing wizard to move the backend data to sql server whilst keeping the front end in access
is this still the case?

yeah iirc microsoft provides a migration path for access soloutions though.
i belive its known as the upsizing wizard and lets you move the backend to sql server whilst keeping the frontend in access.
hmm excel? isn't that what everyone here complains about leading to a huge mess of macros backed onto a spreadsheet that was never intended for it.
if you think something will grow beyond a triviality a database is a much better idea

did you keep quiet about the affair that you found an email about or did you tell the wife of the employee in question or what?
its what 4 billion possible ips?
4 billion possibilities is WELL within the brute forceable range
well lets see

don't ms oem licenses force the oem to take the entire support burden?

big row of portrait form factor infoboards (presuamblly some sort of plasma displays)
;)
one of them had on it SIDEWAYS! disk boot failure. Insert system disk into drive A press any key to continue
this was a few years back but its one that sticks in my memory
i could be mistaken but i think for official channel attempts even wetsuits are not permitted let alone drysuits.
i'd imagine a drysuit would deal with most of those issues though it may have problems of its own (boyancy springs to mind)
a wetsuit would alleviate the cold problem you mention but some of the others may still be issues.

not really all that means is that others can make derivitive works and claim copyright on them.
if there is no copyright and therefore no sale value in code then what incentive is there to keep stuff secret?
got any sources to back that up?
not that it would surprise me if they used it as part of a carpet bomb tactic on sco.

the next step is probablly a multiple serial setup
ie more than one line but they aren't forced to run in precise lock-step
