The voices seem rather smooth. I wonder how much time was spent tweeking the Ooos? I wish that I could use this software in my IVR. I think that it is important to remember that the software voices are not yet imperfect enough to be the lead vocals. Yet beeing a key word. I could have some fun with this.
Looks at the facts: Very high power. Portable. Limited firing time. Unlimited range. All you'd need is a big spinning mirror and you could vaporize a human target from space.
I am not sure when the pseudo little-endian mode optimizations were introduced into the VPC codebase. I guess the version of VPC your friends have must be rather old.
The biggest problem is that photoshop does a lot of things. In order to work with all these things and still be within two or three clicks, something has to give.
Adobe does an excellent job with their Classroom in a Book books. The people who work with photoshop are either professional graphics people or people aspiring to become professionsls.
Photoshop is a trade; a trade that has to be aquired through months or even years of hard work.
If there has to be something like a microsoft office assistant in photoshop, it should be able to be disabled.
That is why adobe rolled out Photoshop for the Usability Impaired (Elements). The users of Elements are the same people who spill hot coffee on themselves, in the McDonalds drive though.
The stupid statments still have to get passed to the server. Anyone with a profiler could see what the hell the connection is doing. As far as passwords go, you should be using hashes over an encrypted channel anyways. Why would anybody look at you applications SELECTs, UPDATEs, INSERTs or DELETEs? Most of those should be in stored procs, encrypted if nessessary.
Maybe I should start something like a neighborhood watch for web content. We could fix up low-fi content on the weekends. It could be fun... or anal...
I bet those guys have white shirts with yellow armpits. And, I'm sure that they don't flush the toilet.
One summer back, I worked with this guy who just smelled bad. At first I didn't do anything. I tried to be polite. After a while I was joking around with him and brought to his attention that he smelled bad. Of course heeee couldn't smell the stench. After that what can you do?
What is the difference between a job and a task? What is the difference between a machine and a robot? If someone was to cool me with a hand fan they would be performing a task. If that fan person was getting paid, they would be performing a job.
If I had an electric fan to cool me, would the fan be taking the job of the fan person? I do not think that a machine could take a job away from anyone. It could take their main task away from them, but not their job. The person paying for the service of the person would have to take away the fan person's job.
Do vending machines, washing machines or hand calculators take away jobs? Before the candy / soda dispensing robots came along, there were sales people behind candy / soda counters.
At any point there is an unlimited want for tasks to be completed. But, there are also a limited amount of resources...
I'm no longer sure where I am going with this.
I would have to say the Ars dropped the ball with this article.. I would have suggested using a DV bridge, then compressing the DV stream into something like ISO MPEG2 or ISO MPEG4.
Dazzle has a $99 Bridge that works great. Composite in, DV out or DV in, Composite!
Does anyone remember the HardCard? It was a hard drive + controller on a fullsized ISA card. I had one... I still might have it in my 286, I wonder where I put it?
From what I remember... Freenet was too complicated for it to reach significant mass. Im not sure how many nodes are out there, but i would not think that there where more than ~1000 nodes before this last build. Maybe, I'll take a look at this one...
"... believe that Humans started off perfect, and we have arrived at our current imperfect state simply due to bad mutations?
" I think snake dancers, and TV evangelists come from inbreeding. Either that or all those stupid people reproducing, while the smarter people, on average have less children.

My voice is my passport, verify.

You can get great trip ticks through AAA.com, if you are a paying member.

I guess you do not use Virtual PC.
Reading the headline, I would think that Michigan State (MSU.EDU) was buying all those laptops.
Jeeze.

How could some people be smart enough to crack GSM and not smart enough together a PDF that does not look like ass?
I don't know shit about dot products but I do know a shitty looking PDF when I see one.
Somebody give these folks some fonts!

PowerPC 970
SPECint2000 937 @ 1.8 GHz
SPECfp2000 1051 @ 1.8 GHz
Intel Itanium 2
SPECint2000 760 @ 1 GHz
SPECfp2000 1350 @ 1 GHz
I'm not sure why I stuck the Itanic2 up there.
I dont know if I would want to stick it in to anything that plugs directly into the wall.
Forget $99... I must have pulled that number out of my ass... sorry folks, try ~$250

And, no I do not work for Dazzle.
i dont get it.

I submitted this story a week ago... WAKEUP!
This is my before thought:
From what I remember... Freenet was too complicated for it to reach significant mass. Im not sure how many nodes are out there, but i would not think that there where more than ~1000 nodes before this last build. Maybe, I'll take a look at this one...
After thought comming soon!
Those images were sooo crappy. I do think it is rather quaint. Getting pictures off of AM radio it's soo ... retro?
This should not be a problem. From what I can tell, the US has lots of plastic sheeting and duct tape to fix this issue.
IMHO jesus was a trouble maker.
I think my Grandma would make an awesome web server. This reminds me of the CyborgRat.
