GCD is a nice library with an elegant API. Unfortunately it is not portable, because it requires a compiler which supports a non-standard extension to the C language.
How ironic. You too fail to understand basic physics, because you don't seem to know that tons is not a unit of weight (neither does the editor/submitter).
That's the general problem when you concentrate a lot of energy in little space. There are practical differences between fossil fuel, hydrogen, urane and batteries, but the concept of accidentally releasing (converting to pressure/temperature) much of this energy is pretty much the same.
Storing JAR files in SVN is wrong most of the time. Either the JAR file is built from the sources in this same repository, and build results should really not be stored in SVN. Or it is required to build the software - then it should be part of the local computer's software installation, and your ~/build.properties should point to the exact location.
I mean, when the sound is muted. When asking my friends (teenagers and up to 30), only very few can. I can (age 26), though I suffer from Tinnitus. At child's age I could hear when my sister secretly watched TV in the other room, doors closed, sound too silent to hear... Interestingly, I can also hear when you switch channels and what the quality of the picture is, and what kind of interferences there might be (diagonal stripes, snowy picture,...)... btw. I don't own a TV. Not only because I find the noise annoying, but also because it's boring...
Page is down for me, but for those curious there are more funny things you won't believe they can fly (German text, but some pics). I saw one of these 2 weeks ago, looks _very_ strange how they fly. The top rotor is not driven by an engine, only the rotor on the rear. The top rotor is then rotated by the wind, giving lift to the aircraft.
C sources are text files. Text files consist of text lines, terminated with a newline character. The last line is also a line, which should be terminated with a newline character (see above).
How can you say "it just doesn't compile anymore" when you're talking about a *warning* message, not an *error* message?
a glider moves relatively to the air surrounding it. if you turn into the wind, your speed does not change, relative to the air (wind). You get exactly the same ascending force, and the same vertical speed.
But due to the air moving relatively to the ground, you get a lower speed over ground. That makes you move slower, thus requiring more altitude for the same distance. Remember, that's not because the vertical speed increased, but the horizontal speed decreased.
people often mistake vertical wind for horizontal wind. TFA author even mixes them in one single sentence.
flightgear is a nice project, but it can't bear comparison with X-Plane, by far. X-Plane has its focus on a physically exact simulation of aerodynamics. when you design a new plane in "normal" flight simulators, you have to design both the visuals and give many many hints about its behaviour. in X-Plane, you define the shape, and X-Plane calculates the rest. I was surprised how exactly it simulates the gliders I have already piloted in RealLife(TM) (I'm glider pilot for 11 years now - glider pilots are the ones who really know how the plane works, because they need to)
X-Plane is the only good flight simulator I know of. MS FlightSim is good to train radio navigation (it used to focus mainly on navigation before it became "mainstream"), but it gives you a really bad idea of the behaviour of the simulated planes. flightgear isn't better. Flight Unlimited (about ten years ago) used to be one of the best, and there is the German "Segelflug-Simulator", but neither have the simulation quality of X-Plane.
I am really happy they've done the Linux port, torrenting at 40 kB/s currently:]
I own a Iiyama 21" TFT (1600x1200). I love it when working on code. Ok, it's not an ultra-low-latency display...
But when I play Enemy Territory, I put it away and connect my old CTX 19" CRT. I set it to 77 Hz and configure a maximum frame rate of 77 in ET. Every frame of the game is on my CRT nearly instantly, 1:1. No buffers, no DAC/ADC troubles, no refresh rate interferences etc.
My score is always better when I use the CRT. Aiming is so much harder on my TFT. It _is_ noticable.
in a glider, you can fly in zero-gravity for about 5 or 10 seconds. If you like the idea, go to the nearest airfield and ask them, it's fun. Price should be around 30 dollars for a flight for non-members. But you can't run around at zero gravity, because you'll be wearing a 4 or 5-point seat belt. (pssst... glider acrobatics are even more fun, but that varies between -2g and +5g)

The Antares 20E made its maiden flight in 2003. It is a self-launching glider with battery powered engine:

A wonderful glider. Sad it's so expensive (several 100k euros).

The reference policy has a module for xscreensaver, and it's very tight - it doesn't allow network access.

The gtk version uses twice as much memory as the standard X version of emacs22. WTF?
Comparing emacs21 and emacs22 (no gtk), the new version uses maybe 10% more memory.

there is already Debian Unusable
last week, I formatted my new USB hard drive with reiser4. It works well with both 32 and 64 bit (kernel and userspace), no problems so far.

guess what the "i" in "i386" means. IMHO, x86_64 looks ugly, and I'd prefer amd64.
iirc, Microsft Xenix is now known as SCO OpenServer. make your math.
wrong. the article is only partially wrong.

*agree* the title reads: "Bot for CS" and "Source to be Released". *sigh*
why troll. i like applications the unix way. if they have nothing useful to say, they should not say anything.
what use is a splash screen? (okay openoffice may be so SLOOOOOOW that they want to entertain the user while it loads... omg what a self diss)
