At first, I was thinking there was a wider internet outage because Google was having problems this morning and so was MSN.. But I guess not.
If you look at this website it shows that there is some issue between SBC and Cogent. kidna sad.. that is the first thing i checked after slashdot and google didnt' respond but i could ping my house this morning..
value can start as an int/double/float your choice.
in the end newValue does not alwasy equal value.. even though it should.. i understand floating point errors but i first saw this cause a problem with value being a double 8.12
oddly it isn't consitant from one CPU to the next but all the cpu's i have tested will have error's at and all have been with less than 1k amounts..
it is odd as hell but it is the one reason i don't use java.. if i can't trust it to do basic math then i can't trust it at all
oh i know what you mean about it being an issue.. i can't tell you how many times (to screw with them) a local store here who asks to see id.. i show them the back of my license.. they glance at it and move right on..
now either A.. they have managed to get barly litterate minimum wage people that can read barcodes nativly OR they just don't give a shit..
because for now.. the CC companines don't lose the money.. if you stole my card and went and bought shit and i report it as fraud.. then i pay a fee (50$ i think) and the CC refunds me my money and then charges back to the company where you bought shit..
so in reality.. the CC has to do a few more transactions and alittle leg work.. (what my 50$ covers) and the company selling stuff gets nothing but lost inventory and the fraud guy makes off with the stuff..
untill the CC companies here in the US are held accountable for the transactions then they have zero incentive on putting together more expenisve and effective security into the cards/transactions.. because it doesn't effect their bottom line..
and the reatail places are screwed because their only option is to stop accepting CC's.. and if you do that in the US you might as well clsoe your doors as most of the population doesn't cary cash any more.. and sadly most of them don't have the cash to cary.
saddly they will make a return to the screen.. once they run out of money they will try to replay their lives.. and movie stuidos think people are stupid enough to watch them>>
refrence.. the new rocky.. why on hell's earth> wait.. think i just answered that..
i would say the slit would be as it is a method/design to transfer force/torque.. thing aboutit.. there is a flat head (single slit) phillips (cross pattern) star head (multi cross starting at 3 lines crossed and going up) and then you get start head with guide point (like on a telco box) each one requires a diffrent specific tool to do it.. the screw the driver and the connector should all be patentable..
but the action of transfering force/tourque should not be patentable.. as that would be too encomposing of other ways.
compare to protocals.. they are transfering data.. the act of transfering data shouldn't be patentable.. but the method/protocol should be.. but it should be specific to it.. and only to it..
example would be how bit torrent works.. how it is diffrent from http traffic.. thoughs diffrences should be able to be patentable as that is inovation which is what patents where ment for.
that is a problem with the patent office not requireing them to be specific to what the tool does AND how it does it.
alot of the crap ones cover what it does but doesn't cover how it is to be done..
turnning a screw/transfering data should not be patentable.. but how you do it should be.. there for a protocol should be patentable.. as it is a way of transfering data.. but it shouldn't cover all ways of doing it.
i would argue that a protocol is a tool that is used.. there for it would be patentable..
you use TCP/IP to transfer data.. you could use IPXSPX.. but TCP/IP is better suited for the net than IPXSPX..
like wise..
you use a flathead screwdriver to tighten a screw - you could use a penny.. but the screwdriver works better..
at one point in history a flathead screw driver would have been inovation and would have been patentable.. as it is an improvement over something else in doing a task.
i see no reason why a improved more effecient at the task protocol should not be patentable.
if you ver played with writing VXD's.. then you would better agree that that isn't exactly a myth.. no one person could posiably know what some of that shit did
hehe.. i remember having one a 15k disk have a head crash error.. (the head nicked the plater).. the force translated to the head and arm actualy through the arm through the side of the drive caseing... we had to send that drive off to ontrack to get the data back.. (happened about 8-9 years ago)
that was one of the loudest hard disk failures i have ever heard..
i love the orginal 10k drive.s. i have a 36gb IBM 10k SCSI drive.. and man it is like a jet engine.. but sadly it is quite comparied to the 9.1gb 15k SCSI drives i have in one of the rack boxes.. when that box turns off the room is silent.. even though there is the whole of the rack still going..
Innocence does have to do plot-wise.. while it is more than the other movies a single story line it falls between the end of the first and before the second series
Stand (meaning represent) Alone (as one) Complex (though)
almost all the episodes can be viewed by them self for a single understandable story - but all of them together creates one much larger far more developed overline plot which follows the Stand Alone Complex.
you really need to watch the movies and the series in order.. watching a random peice on tv is nice.. and it is good that each one is it's own self contained story (some thing alot of scifi stuff lacks).. but when you put them together you get one of the most complex and creative storylines i have ever seen.. i absolutly love it..
yeap yeap.. i didn't get the built in HSDPA beacuse i have teathering with my cell phone - so i jsut got the blue tooth.. and set that up..
so yea if i need net access i just open the con manager on the phone and say wireless modem and i am online.. very damn useful.. while the built in one would be nice.. at the time of ordering it was an extra 300$ and service for it around here is 60$ a month.. so i figured sence i already had it with the phone for 40$ a month and i would have to keep that anywyas.. i would just deal with that single extra step..
they all do suffer that problem.. just some suffer less than others.. also most modern flash has a built in ablility to move logical blocks around physiclay to cause even ware accross the whole flash media
Slashdot Mirror
If you look at this website it shows that there is some issue between SBC and Cogent. kidna sad.. that is the first thing i checked after slashdot and google didnt' respond but i could ping my house this morning..
induction.. they are already starting to do it in japan for cell phones and ipods.. without much effort they could do it with laptops
it isn't magic it is science
iPhone, for some inexcusable reason, can't tether via bluetooth. nore would you want to live with the dialup speed the current iphone gets..
without 3g support the net connection on the iphone is pointless
it isnt' a speed issue.. i mean every language has it's + and -'s i wouldn't want to dispute that..
what i can't stand is java's complete lack of accuracy in basic math such as
int upper = (int) (value * 100.0);
double newVal = ((double)upper) / 100.0;
value can start as an int/double/float your choice.
in the end newValue does not alwasy equal value.. even though it should.. i understand floating point errors but i first saw this cause a problem with value being a double 8.12
oddly it isn't consitant from one CPU to the next but all the cpu's i have tested will have error's at and all have been with less than 1k amounts..
it is odd as hell but it is the one reason i don't use java.. if i can't trust it to do basic math then i can't trust it at all
... and I code in Java by choice! saddly that should invalidate anything elsebut that aside.. i agree.. (not about the by choice)

ok all the EeePC's you can swap out the 512 or 1g with a 2gb stick of ram and it will accept it jsut fine
Innocence does have to do plot-wise.. while it is more than the other movies a single story line it falls between the end of the first and before the second series
use an external USB dvd-rom
the Stand Alone Complex is the story line..
Stand (meaning represent) Alone (as one) Complex (though)
almost all the episodes can be viewed by them self for a single understandable story - but all of them together creates one much larger far more developed overline plot which follows the Stand Alone Complex.
you really need to watch the movies and the series in order.. watching a random peice on tv is nice.. and it is good that each one is it's own self contained story (some thing alot of scifi stuff lacks).. but when you put them together you get one of the most complex and creative storylines i have ever seen.. i absolutly love it..

they all do suffer that problem.. just some suffer less than others.. also most modern flash has a built in ablility to move logical blocks around physiclay to cause even ware accross the whole flash media
yes i did turn the swap off.. no room for it.. he got the 2gb model..
