Umm, ever been to austin? I take it you have. Nevertheless, the weather is very nice year round. The summers are mild compared to surrounding areas (Dallas, Houston). Usually there are only a handful of days where the temp goes above 100 degrees.
I lived there for five years, and I would like to move back.
Stupid, ugly people make for good henchmen.. Aren't those in a lot of books already?;)
If you want to read techno thrillers..

I recommend the James Bond books. Sure, they are dated, but the provide an interesting glimpse into spycraft as it was 50 years ago.
Some notes of interest: -the books have almost nothing to do with the movies -the books are short, about 150 pages -not much action in the books -Bond is not bulletproof like his movie counterpart
I get the feeling as reading these books that Ian Fleming writes about what he knows, and the material seems well reasearched, whether it be about rocket engines or toxic flora.
Anywho, just thought I'd toss in my $2E-2 while we're talking about what we're reading;)
This sounds like a natural extension of a lot of senior electrical engineering projects. Seems like every semester somebody is doing a DSP-based guitar tuner.
The middle class has always footed the bill. Income tax was originally only aimed at the upper class, but once the government got a taste of money, the tax was extended to the middle class. Ironic, since the middle and lower classes were the ones calling for the tax.
Historically speaking, the rich have had the resources and financial know-how to get out of paying a lot of tax. If you are going to play the game with the big boys, you better know the rules of the game well.
I couldn't tell from the article- is this going to be a left shift or right shift? Inquiring minds want to know to what power of 2 Intel is going to screw up:)
I've solved the towers of hanoi with 8 disks.. Curious if anyone has solved a more insane number without computer assistance.
Though it seems pretty pointless and boring to solve for a high number of disks as the learning curve drops sharply after you figure out how to solve for the basic three disks.
I dont think that is what the poster meant- I think what he is saying is that the *installation* of AOL has an embedded name. When ever anyone logs in from that copy of AOL software, it sends the embedded name and the login name of whoever... Or maybe i understand him wrong.. Which is likely:)

Padilla is getting it easy: he deserves the firing squad. That is what treason gets you.

I am an engineer, and I am possibly interested in working in Asia (Taiwan, Japan, or China).
Could anyone share their experiences? IE, was it a big hassle to get a working visa, etc.?

There goes getting sleep on a work night :D
Is this a general partnership or an LLP?
I suppose it is too late to put a lien on your assets and get out..
Searched and found porn links. thank you.
Though I must include the disclaimer: I am not an attornoy nor an accountant.
Where can i find this powered armor soccer? :)
I'm guessing that would have been a beneficial side effect.

To whom it may concern:
Get a life.
LOTR is way overhyped. I nearly fell asleep during Two Towers.
The fantasy genre is itself highly boring. Every fantasy plot revolves around the Magical Doodad.
And slashdot editors are paid for what? Seriously.
Looking at President Bush's resume, I wouldn't mind being that kind of "miserable failure."
They might as well wear jackets emblazoned with "Please kick my ass"
/. still links to that shit?

And if it does get cold, have your girlfriend perform 22-bit math :D

not to have read the story yet feel the need to comment on how dumb this story is :)
I'll try that next time i need to write technical documentation... Fortunately everyone who reads what i write speaks engrish. :D
