So you just want to burn it again, after going through all that to get the carbon out of the air? Intriguing idea, you'd just have to keep up this cycle though to stay at the same level, unless you were considering burying the diesel somewhere instead of using it.
funny statistic I heard this morning on the radio driving into work. It's estimated that Americans will short change the IRS close to 400 billion dollars this year. Now what were you saying about the national debt?
Don't worry, only a few more years of this thin client, rich client stuff and we'll find ourselves all going back to the traditional n-tier client/server models.
Console applications in a Windows OS environment can just as easily do input and output redirect and pipe to another program. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say about searching through source files, Windows has command line and GUI tools for searching, as well as project/module/procedure level searching built into Visual Studio.
I prefer the phrase "mythical uninterrupted person hours" myself. It makes it clear that the estimates I give my bosses are just that, estimates, not hard deadlines.
having to work to get a reward, is inherently "communist" and "totalitarian"
Actually, working to get rewards is very capitalist. Volunteering for overtime to get more money, working harder to get a promotion, etc. We teach those principles to our children even, doing chores to earn an allowance.
IBM's army of consultants also cost a ton of money. When we evaluated Websphere, IBM was actually offering us free hardware and free software, if we used thier consultants, close to a million dollars worth of their consultants.
I also agree it's not that hard or expensive to build a very quiet computer. I used an Antec Lanboy case for under $100 and it came with quiet front intake fan and rear fan (rubber clip mounted fans), rubber grommits for the drive bays, and even a removable carrying strap for taking it to a lanparty or convention or something. The only mod I made to it was to take out the annoying blinking blue LEDs from the front fan, drove me nuts!
I suppose anything was better noisewise than my compact Cyang-Fun case, which looked cool and had a built in handle on the case, but sounded like a 747 taking off.
the funny thing is, PostgreSQL's triggers can be row level triggers or statement level triggers, while MS-SQL's triggers can only be statement level triggers, so in that way PostgreSQL is better!
This is starting to change with companies like Pervasive and EnterpriseDB building on the PostgreSQL database engine and providing affordable support options that businesses will find attractive over MS-SQL Server or Oracle licensing.
The good thing about Xvid or Divx encoded files, is that their Mpeg-4 compression is good enough so that you'd easily be able to fit multiple hours high definition video on a plain old one sided DVD media. Mpeg-4 based codecs have become popular because you can easily get 90 to 120 minutes of video at DVD resolution with miniscule or no noticable loss in quality on a 700mb CD. While there is some high quality stuff out there in these formats, there's some pretty ugly dreck too though from people who didn't want to take the time to encode it properly.
The problem with Starship Troopers, instead of doing the actual story, they did a remake of All Quiet on the Western Front, in space, with a happy ending. Not that AQotWF was a bad movie, it has it's place, but this just came across as peculiar.
I've noticed that they keep getting smaller too. The one I'm in now is 6'x6', good thing I'm not clausterphobic. What was even worse, I knew a place where they didn't have cubes as much so as triangles or indentations. The wall layout looked something like this:/\/\/\/\/\/\/ with each person having 2 walls.
This is also why user polls indicate that people want things like Adobe Photoshop on Linux, yet it hasn't materialized. Linux is much more widely supported by commercial software companies for server programs, because then they don't have to worry about dealing with the GUI situation, it just has to work. When the focus of the application is the user interface, not back end functionality, it doesn't make financial sense for them to pick and choose one GUI environment to support or have to support multiple GUI configurations. On Windows, they just use one set that will support 2000, XP, and 2003, and any visual customization of those standard widgets and controls is done through the standard control pannel and display properties by the users themselves.
I think part of that comes from the constant news about how we need to update our software because of virus X or worm Y or some other vulnerability Z. People have been conditioned to believe for example that weekly updates to Microsoft Windows is a normal and good thing.
There are people who do fall too easily to the marketing hype of a "new and improved" version though. Part of the marketing strategy of using the year in the name of a product is to make it feel old to a user, even if it hasn't necessarily outlived its usefullness.
I'm a computer programmer, and the last 2 years the company I worked for had me using an IBM G40 desktop replacement. Honestly it made sense for the number of times we took them with us to do presentations at meetings, for checking up on systems from home etc. Yes the P4 in it did generate alot of heat, but not that much that it was going to overheat, even with constant use durring the day.
I used to be in with some LAN party people, even 7 years ago before they were called that. Even with today's "desktop replacement" laptops you probably still need the extra umph that even a mid range graphics card can give over integrated graphics.

Voila - diesel fuel at your disposal!

Now if Comedy Central was still showing Battlebots, I predict this would be next season's champion!

is anyone out there using a WIPN stack? (Windows, IIS, PostgreSQL, .Net)

UNIX timestamps (seconds since 1970)
so does that mean that UNIX has a year 2106 problem like the infamous year 2000 problem for people who used 2 digit years?
I'm more concerned about the Italians... they won't get nearly as long of battery life the way they talk with their hands.

...but will the working class eventually rise up against the Czar and establish a socialist security union?
Actually I think it's just one of those words that people have fun saying.
considering TFA said the bacteria leave a form of plasic behind, if it solidified it would be rather difficult to unpack the box then.
