You hit the nail on the head here. I played football and baseball in high school. I also took classes like AP Calculus, AP Physics, AP Physiology, Honors Trigonometry and Honors Biology. I dated a cheerleader. I also dated a member of the chess club. Which am I, a geek or jock?
You don't have to pigeonhole yourself and those that do tend to bring upon themselves the torment that is their life, whether a jock or a geek.
Windows 9x uses a timer with a resolution of 55 ms when using WM_TIMER messages. Windows NT uses a timer with a resolution of 10 ms as you correctly noted.
It should be noted that all 32 bit versions of Windows can access a high-resolution performance timer if one is available in hardware through the use of QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency which will vary in resolution depending on the hardware.
Well, considering the Visors can't be updated (no Flash ROM)
How quickly we forget. ..
Up until the most recent crop of Palm devices, no PalmOS based system had Flash ROM yet you were still able to update the PalmOS. It was merely a patch that was one hard reset away from being wiped from your system, not a permanent update like the Flash ROM upgrades of today.
I think the most salient point made is that Linux needs killer apps. I'll go on record as saying that Kylix* will be the next killer app for Linux, thus paving the way for a multitude of killer apps.
The common forms of color blindness do not refer to the inability to distinguish any color, merely certain colors and shades.
Take a color blindness test and see if you are a sufferer.
I'll concede that Thomas Jefferson has already made this argument for me so I'll let him do the talking:
"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation."
Maybe they arn't unionized. They should join the screen actors guild. Actors and atheletes arn't much different from each other these days. It would be pretty funny to see the atheletes striking too.
Try doing THAT with a junker from E-Machines or the other bottom-of-the-line PC makers.
What does this have to do with the manufacturer?
From your story, it appears that the only involvement Apple had was the production of a sub-standard computer. Beyond that, it's all a function of Tandy honoring the extended warranty that you purchased from ComputerCity.
Just because you annoy me with your so-called intellect.
Main Entry: kudo
Pronunciation: 'kü-(")dO, 'kyü-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural kudos/-(")dOz/
Etymology: back-formation from kudos (taken as a plural)
Date: 1926
1 : AWARD, HONOR
2 : COMPLIMENT, PRAISE
usage Some commentators hold that since kudos is a singular word it cannot be used as a plural and that the word kudo is impossible. But kudo does exist; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural. Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural. By the 1920s it began to appear as a plural, and about 25 years later kudo began to appear. It may have begun as a misunderstanding, but then so did cherry and pea.
Have you tried out some of the RPN calculators for the PalmOS? At least one has a drag-and-drop stack! Holy moly is that cool. It makes it hard to go back to my 48G sometimes.
The biggest stability problem for Windows, especially Windows NT, is device drivers. Video drivers in particular are renowned for their BSOD prowess. NT doesn't have a Safe Mode but you can boot up with just a VGA driver for exactly that reason.
Besides, they ripped someone's ear off. They RIPPED SOMEONE'S EAR OFF! Disfigurement is an extreme punishment for a misdemeanor.
I'll agree with your statement but I believe you are jumping to conclusions. I read your source and nowhere does it mention what the protestor was doing prior to the beating that partially tore his ear. Without that knowledge, there is no way to make a judgement on the actions of the police officer.
You forgot to mention the quotes from the defense attorney and ACLU legal director. Let me refresh your memory.
"I think it's highly unlikely, the kinds of things that have been described," Philadelphia ACLU legal director Stefan Presser said Thursday.
Philadelphia defense attorney Jules Epstein called the cells "Dickensian, but not unconstitutional."
And while we're at it, where did you get the info about being held more than 48 hours withoug a phone call? I saw nary a mention of it on the Salon.com story.

Hey Poindexter, Adobe is a little house of mud as well as the name of a software company. The gaffe was spelling it Abode.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. :)
You got it backwards. He was trying to point out that very was an overused and rarely appropriate adverb. In his words:

I also can use Visual C++ to quickly create W32 apps, and list them as shareware for hundreds of millions of "normal" computer users to use
Please, I beg you, do not create YAUSA (Yet Another Useless Shareware App). If not for us, then for the children. Please don't do it!Maybe they arn't unionized.

Once you learn it, RPM beats algebraic notation hands down. It is especially nifty for programmable calculators
Yeah, it beats the heck out of DEB when doing those nasty LaGrangian Multipliers.

Your subject is patently false. I defy you to show me where Oracle officially recommends against RAID.
