Dick had specifically requested in an e-mail that the MPAA not make copies of the movie.
Ahem, wouldn't that be considered a verbal contract? He submits the DVD and says "Do not copy, please." Or does he have to explicitly say, "DON'T FUCKING COPY THIS MOVIE YOU FUCKS!" and have them sign it for it to be a contract?
Once the board had booted to the flash program, I carefully pulled the good chip back out, and put in the bad chip. I then ran the flash program to overwrite the bad BIOS.
So, you basically made your own PROM programmer? Nice!
Too bad the you couldn't ship the bad boards back.
I'm trying to remember where I've seen this, but IIRC, this has been done by accident when someone falls into icy waters. I think it was a kid who fell into an incy pond and was eventually rescued. Because of the temperature, he was fine. Appearently, it slowed his metabolism down enough that it didn't deplete all of the O2 in hsi blood.
I'm sifting through all of the Google hits from my search terms now.
There are high-performance alternatives (which admittedly tend to vary from OS to OS) that are so far superior that I wouldn't even consider the default methods unless complete code portability were a crucial factor.
It's funny you should mention this. I was thinking of the class libraries or frameworks, if you will, included with Java, MFC (if it's still used these days), Visual Age, and so on. Does this mean, and are you saying, that the only way to get the best performance from TCP/IP is to roll your own?
Didn't we (shareholders/taxpayers/markets) already pay/subsidize for the massive install of 'dark-fiber' (unused fiber optics cables) in the dot.com runup?
This is the shareholders via the management that (technically) works for them trying to get a better return on investment on all of that money they spent.
hy are people who don't comprehend - or can't communicate - this employed in an IT organization??
You sir, need to accept the bureaucratic nature of large organizations. There have been a few times that I've had to do some really asinine things in order to keep my job. I knew it was bullshit, my coworkers knew it was BS, and the poor SOB on the other end really knew it was BS. But, if either strayed from policy it was our asses. Why was this policy in place? Because the higher ups didn't want to take the time for all of the inevitable exceptions that occur.
The solution? Acceptance - Zen practice. Or, start your own organizaton - if possible. Entrepreneurship!
There's a reason why small companies are the ones that are creating most of the jobs. There's a reason why small companies are the innovators. There's a reason... you get the idea.
FTFA:Many people actively involved with Debian development are working as system administrators themselves. Thus, they know very well what their own needs are, and in case Debian doesn't meet them, they are in the position to fix that. However, ideally, one should not have to be a Debian contributor to successfully deploy Debian in production environments.
I'm not an admin - outside of my own hacking at home. But, help me out here, is Debian more of an enterprise-admin friendly-scalable distro than, say, RedHat Enterprise?
From what I've seen between various distros(No Debian), there's their add-ons (desktop add-ins, installation software, etc...), and then there's just Linux, XFree86, and all of the GNU software stuff. Is Debian that much better whe it comes for day to day operations?
...I was charged somewhere about 8 USD for a "convience fee".
at least for my local ballet, symphony, and other fine arts stuff, when they do charge the convience fee, the tickets are mailed to you. Then they place you on the call list and every year they call me asking when I want to go to the ballet again.
I'm trying to find the article on Scientific American's website.
An Indian economist, IIRC, wrote an article explaining why the population in his home country is increasing like it is. In a nutshell, it's because there's no provision for retirement, or for that matter, taking care of people in their old age. So, folks rely on their kids to take care of them in their old age. The more kids you have, the better off you are in your old age. Of course, in the meantime, taking care of all of those kids is a strain.
As libertarian as I am (notice the small 'l'), I can see the wisdom for having some social programs. In this case, it helps reduce population explosions.
FTParent'sFA:The United States has shown keen interest in placing a payload aboard India's first spacecraft to the moon, Chandrayan-I.
AND why the US supports it: India considers its missile, space and nuclear programs to be closely interlinked, with nuclear deterrence against Pakistan and China and benefits to the people through satellite technology and nuclear energy being critical factors.
Oh, fuck, does this mean there's another Cold War starting? If so, I agree with my sig.
From the last paragraph section 1: As a special exception, the Complete Corresponding Source Code need
not include a particular subunit if (a) the identical subunit is
normally included as an adjunct in the distribution of either a major
essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs or a compiler used to
produce the executable or an object code interpreter used to run it,
and (b) the subunit (aside from possible incidental extensions) serves
only to enable use of the work with that system component or compiler
or interpreter, or to implement a widely used or standard interface,
the implementation of which requires no patent license not already
generally available for software under this License.
I'm reading this as (bold area): if I compile my code with GCC and link with a GNU library, my code will not fall under the GNU license unlese I sat it does.

Which makes me wonder: is math really that hard or is our notation making it more difficult than it really is?

Yikes!

I think the Administration and their "base" really need to start thinking about that.

Outsourcing a programming assignment would be a great assignment for the Project Manager and future CIO.
CIS 410: IT Managment and Outsourcing.
I'm not kiddding that much. I actually had a class in my CIS curriculum that had a mgt class that dealt with this issue.
Remeber, outsourcing can mean hiring IBM, EDS, or Joes Coding and Pizza to do your work.

Well, I overclocked my CPU by 12 inches! Yeah, that's right 12 inches ...a whole foot! So there!
Or better yet, "where can I download the list of video cards that have Linux, *BSD, etc.. drivers? MMMkay?"
I'm just pissed because I had to STILL use the NE2000 driver for my Linksys Ether 16 card.

That's short term. Long-term, it inspires kids to one day enter science, engineering, and other activities that will hopefully better the human race.
