You can do what you like on private property, but you can't control public roads. If the unexpected happens, the best possible outcome is ensured by travelling at slower speeds and maintaining maximum vehicle control, regardless of your baseline skill.
What happens if you're busy hooning around on your "empty" road and the "unexpected happens"? You'll be just as likely to have an accident as all the other "sheep", because you're closer to your own limits. I've lived in areas with lots of "empty" roads (think driving 10km without seeing another car), and most of the bad drivers in that area weren't honing their skills; they just drove badly. There were plenty of accidents; a surprisingly large number given the local population. You think they were caused by people travelling at the speed limit and taking the turns like a snail? Me neither...
Having read the paper, I wonder: why did they choose to do their calculations using molecular dynamics software and not a finite element package? I could be reading it wrong, but their approach seems to have been to implement a cable-element FEA inside the molecular dynamics software... Struck me as kind-of like using a spreadsheet for image manipulation; maybe it's what you're familiar with, but it sure isn't the easiest route.
Not to troll too much, but... Are you being sarcastic?
Blender's renderer is really nothing special (and I mean really nothing special). It's no more ethereal than any other renderer out there. If you're perhaps referring to the glow effect in Elephant's Dream, that was done in post; check out the production files at the bottom of this page.
I think the confusion here is that you are stating that there are quirks in the ABI. ABI = Application Binary Interface. Two completely different binary implementations can have the same binary interface. Implementations usually have the quirks, not the interface itself, whether it's binary (ABI) or a programmer-friendly format (API).
Has anyone been able to do a fresh checkout via SVN since the SlashDot posting? I keep getting the following error: svn: REPORT request failed on '/svn/fortress/!svn/vcc/default'
svn: REPORT of '/svn/fortress/!svn/vcc/default': 400 Bad Request (http://fortress.sunsource.net)
I even registered as an "observer" of the project in case that was blocking my SVN access.
I thought it'd be nice to play with it for a while... you know, before bashing it.:-)

Blender 2.40 Released

Blender broke on OSX so severely because its entire user interface is built using OpenGL. Most applications you're familiar with probably use OpenGL only for the 3D displays, not for buttons, list-boxes, etc. Blender is notorious for pushing the OpenGL implementation much further and requiring a much more complete coverage of The Standard than other applications (games, for example). Don't point fingers unless you've looked at the code!
Hehehe... you could then take the comments from your lecturer (or more likely the poor postgrad employed as a marking tutor - me for instance) to correct anything Wikipedia got wrong.:-)
Yeah... I was definitely using Linux in 2001. I've never had blue hair, or a pony-tail. Does that make me wierd?:-)
I guess all of us Open Source zealots are really just copying Microsoft (as usual). Heck, we've even gone and ripped-off a licensing method that they clearly originated. Big old Linus is beating-up poor little Billy and stealing his lunch money!
Ummm... How would a digital signature help?
The procedure is the following: Some FF dev builds the binary. The dev then signs it. End user still downloads the infected version.
Digital signatures assume that the source is trusted. If an MS employee built an infected binary and signed it, you'd still have no protection.
The difference here is that MS spend lots of money on anti-virus solutions. The poor guy who built the Korean version of FF probably doesn't. The ideology is Freedom.
... and without the book of tables, a slide rule, or any other physical aids?:-) C'mon, a major selling point of Rational Geometry is that you can work out a closed-form solution, down to a square root at worst. Try out some of the examples from the free chapter...
If you didn't have your pocket calculator, and you had to calculate the sines and cosines as series sums... well, I think rational geometry would be a lot easier don't you?

OK - this is one of those postings where I ask: which of the links is actually TFA?!

Interesting that the article puts such a positive spin on the ability of the cops to "nail" their suspects in this way.
OK, after several hours' trying, it's now checked out for me.

Indeed, it's a retro retrovirus. So out of fashion, it just had to be brought back. :-)

But... my cat already has an RFID microchip! Oh no... don't tell me he's cooler than me. I mean, he's already more popular with women.

Hold on, the question said:
Getting our versions of Office to 2003 is $65k+
So, you're recommending $65k+ the cost of Windows Server 2003?
