It's a 1/2 barrel. The ones shorter than that are the 1/4 barrels and the tall skinny ones are 1/6ths. Go into your local store and ask for a "full keg" and you will get a wierd look.
On the topic of tech support calls, I got a call from a ship in the IT-21 project. While we were going through the standard, "what's the IP address of..." I got a reply I didn't expect:
Me: Ok, now whats the loopback IP address on the other end? Navy Dude: Uh, that's classified.
There was one guy in our group that had the proper security clearances to work in both the classified and non classifed networks. I know of at least two multi-week trips he got to take on an aircraft carrier. Talk about actually wanting to go on-site for a change!
And I doubt that the wooden ship wheel is USB, NT doesn't support USB.
Probably better than a terrestrial link via satellite.
Ground Link w/satellite uplink: ground->satellite->ground (and back)
This service: plane->satellite->ground (and back)
Since the plane is already closer to the satellite, your first 'hop' will have a lower delay. Geostationary orbit= 36k meters, cruising altitude=10k meters, so you are 1 third closer = 1/3 less latency. Latency from earth to ground is about 500ms so RTT is at least a second, from the plane you get your RTT down to 834ms, not counting terrestrial network latency.
If you are looking to not get fragged, 834ms is a long time.:)
From the article: "The result was that within two weeks the new data centre was finished and helping prepare the battle for the big screen."
"Finding and moving the data for that sequence out of storage so it could be reworked for the second film took about three days."
They can coordinate with IBM to install 1,000 new PCs in a new datacenter with 10Gb from the telco in 2 weeks, but it takes them three days to find a few files?
Thus, instead of spending money on basic research, or even any research at all, they spend it on marketing campaigns, creative accounting, and themselves.
They also spend it on teams of Indian engineers because they have completely saturated the local developers with their brilliant planning, but everything that everyone is working on is not what the customer wants. Quick short term fix- outsource.
And I don't think it's public education to blame, nor funding. If you took all the kids that actually wanted or cared to go to my high school, you would have needed about two classrooms. I think parenting is a huge factor here.
Wrong. How the heck is linux gonna catch on mainstream you have to geek-babble phrases like GiMP, Konsole, Gnumeric, k3b, krec, kmix, KFloppy in your day to day conversations? "I clicked on KInternet so I could use KMail but a KPopup said my Qt was SOL so I used Kate then Klipper to paste it."
BAH. All these names might seem nice and neat to the propeller hat developers but they will never fly with your mom or dad or boss. What brought on the on surge of the internet? The phrase, "World Wide Web," or just "web" for short could have been a huge factor. Everyman could embrace that idea, a web, interconnected, I get it! Could everyman understand FTP or TELNET? Would there be TV commercials today with people saying, 'TELNET to Port 8667 on EggPeeler.com for more info?' No. Same goes with these tape-on-the-glasses application names. I don't care or should not have to know what the underlying technology is, the program should just work.
And, here's the one I really want to know about, will the open source community make their own sleek, efficient and free MMORPG that runs efficiently on a 286?
Sorry, Female Police Officer. You might attract one of those.
There is obstruction over both rear brakelights, those things are probably obstructing the license plate too much, and there is no front license plate. It also appears the rear view is completely obstructed with a metal plate.
U3D is actually just the Shockwave3D file format that Intel are trying to ram through a standards body somewhere.
VRML was based on SGI's Open Inventor file format. You could change the header line in a VRML file then get it to open in the fancy SGI apps. I believe VRML was a subset of the IV format. Still haven't seen link-a-tron in VRML though.
I think VRML failed because the browsers were too slow, too beta, or too buggy when it came to scripting. It's still very useful for ad hoc data visualizations though.
glad someone mentions/proc when discussing how to monitor performance. all your stats are there. and once you find out your performance can be better, you have to go into/proc to tune anyways.
one part of the problem is looking glass sites. they are great for admins, but they do tend to leak out some information that could be used to do just this sort of attack. go check these sites and look at the 'bgp summary' pages and you will see the source and destination IP pairs for the peering sessions. no source or destination tcp ports, but you know one is 179. That's still alot of combinations to try but NetSky-AJ.bis could have a field day with this type of DDoS. If the viruses have room for messages in 6 languages, you can bet they can store plenty of 4 byte IP addresses to lauch this kind of attack. You know how long it takes to flush 125k+ routes and reload them? Propagating all those updates to other peers would quickly make things worse, and dampening would exacerbate things further.
better double check those ingress and egress filters.:)
You are not crazy, I saw the same show, so this is not "an amazing new substance." I also recall they were able to do some kind of component fault checking with that liquid too. They dunked a PCB into a tub of this stuff and a small stream of bubbles rose from some failed component. Perhaps that component was excessively hot or something and that was the juice boiling on it.
And I disagree with my co-replyer about coming out wet or dry. If you put something in liquid, it will come out wet. If you put something in sand, it will come out sandy. There will always be pockets that will trap some of this substance. Even liquid mercury, which doesn't seem to get things wet, would find some little nook(s) to get stuck in.
Regarding your comment, there is another approach which is to see if the modification to the original function is useful and there is potential for more without breaking it's "genericalness". With one more argument to the function you can expand it so it's useful the next time around with less or no modification.
Regarding the article, I haven't taken code from one place to another cause they never use the same language.:) But that does tend to show you the strengths and weaknesses of different languages for different tasks.
that the us government already has all the info they need on americans, so now they are expanding their program to include the rest of the world. this is an incredible amount of biometric data these people are giving away. let's just pray the US can't run databases any better than say, their education system.
What are we to do? Ignore them. Don't steal their products. Don't buy their products. Don't even listen to or watch their products wherever they might be. In the end, maybe by ignoring them for long enough they'll all go broke and die.
or stop buying their music, and they will note the decline in cd sales, and assume piracy is becoming even more of a problem, and put more money into this crooked political system. next they will be passing laws saying that we either have to buy 3 CDs a year or we have to like a certain band. What you don't like music? Obviously you are a terrorist.
And can I just say here they need to stop naming bills like this? Go back to numbers, or something else. The PEACE Act sounded good until you found out it was the "Poison Everyone and Commence Executions Act." What? You don't support the PATRIOT act and the PIRATE act? Obviously you are a terrorist.

I can't wait to go throw down a million bucks on red then chain gun the whole casino when it comes up black.

Screw bikes, it's all about spraying bullets while busting a fat darkslide. There must have been some reason for all those empty pools in GTA VC.

never. next?

Rocketbelt or Time Travel Delorean? I've been pretty bad this year so I can't ask Santa for both.

DHCP... i'm sold. that shows Rio was really paying attention to the details.
Here's a rundown of the menu and a nice review.
I wouldn't trust a programmer with a screwdriver much less a soldering iron. Must be where the burns came from!

Sweet info.
and with the specs for the console cable no one has an excuse not to play with one or three.
In Soviet Russia, the console specs post you!
Go find me an American company that has 6000 people and you can pay $150Mil for.
They're getting people for $25k a pop.
(ok, $33k if they get $200Mil, still a BARGAIN)
that the us government already has all the info they need on americans, so now they are expanding their program to include the rest of the world. this is an incredible amount of biometric data these people are giving away. let's just pray the US can't run databases any better than say, their education system.
It's an optional deliverable after the "release" phase in the software development process. Usually obsolete, just read the code.
