Question for you before I go off and start surfing on it: Would you say that is a good way to make a device that I could hook up to Linux?
For example, a little robot with a USB connection, a PIC processor to load memory and maybe the same processor to run the robot or perhaps a different one. Plug robot into my Linux box with USB cable. (Appropriate software on Linux box and in robot firmware). Download new robot program through USB, flip a switch and let it run.
Never built any really complicated electronics before, but a little microcontroller robot is on my list of things to do or make before I die.
This question seems to come up all the time. Windowmaker is a good choice because it's relatively easy to lock down, and it's easy to use. And, it takes few resources. There are others, but this will do the job.
You know, when the user selects FILE->EXIT and clicks NO when asked if they really wanted to save the file, it's not the programmer's fault. The switch to select the ballistic descent is on the commander's flight stick, and it's protected by a little guard that you have to flip up to activate it.
Actually, I'd like a 4to6, or something like that. I have 5 machines in my house, and I use a NAT firewall. But someday the wire coming in will be IPV6. If I'm still IPV4 internally it will have to work.
Is there a shortcut for an IPV6 address? Seems like it's just a lot more typing than my simple 10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2, 10.1.1.3, etc.
I love the crowd that thinks the economy has been growing at all.
Fortunately, the numbers are on my side. April saw growth of the service sector: http://reuters.com/financeNewsArticle.jht ml?type=e conomicNews&storyID=2684060
If it were growing, TAX REVENUES WOULD BE GROWING IN KIND.
What tax revenues? Sales tax? Is it not clear from the previous discussion that jobs (and therefore consumer spending) are late to pick up after a recession?
Property tax? Housing values are down, but some of that is the large numbers of houses on the market because of the wonderful interest rate situation. Not necessarily a problem with the economy, or an indicator of retraction.
Income tax? How often do you pay taxes? Do you suppose that would track the economic performance of last month?
It is not possible to send all jobs overseas. There are real limitations such as communications, schedules, culture, and language differences that serve to mitigate the cheapness of labor. Also, the more jobs that are sent to India, for example, the higher the price labor will demand there. There's not that many places in the world where you can find large supplies of high quality programmers, so once you exhaust a particular region, you have to move on. At some point every company is faced with the fact that they can get better programmers for a lower total cost right here at home.
It sucks to personally lose your job because it went overseas. But there's no reason to panic about all jobs moving overseas. It just can't happen.
Even if the economy starts growing faster, it'll still be a while before companies start hiring. That's usually the last thing that gets better after growth resumes. Even now there are signs that things are getting better, but there's still a hell of a lot of people without work. That sucks. I didn't work between August and December of 2001, and that was bad enough.
The casualties would presumably be incurred in the first artillery barrage, also presuming that NK fired first and acheived surprise. Surprise would be difficult, but not impossible, since troop movements are monitored quite closely.
There is also the high chance of significant casualties during the process of stopping the NK attack into the South. Those aren't many soldiers, and they will be pressed very hard until reinforcements came in.
The use of nukes cannot be ruled out, but I would be surprised if the US used them first. If NK managed to get one of their tiny supply on target in Seoul, then the US would probably start using battlefield tactical sized nukes.
In any case, I doubt that the US troops would be just hanging out underground in lieu of a counterattack. Success in that sort of situation would hinge on taking or retaking tactical surprise to gain an advantage. Those troops would be very busy doing just that.
That whole situation is insane. The North has thousands of artillery pieces that could unleash an unbelievable attack on Seoul. Estimates of the dead there are 6 million out of the 12 million residents.
And we've got our own set of artillery and missiles pretargeted on NK positions. It'll be the bloodiest half hour EVER in the history of warfare.
NK won't be able to win the war, but they would be able to make a significant incursion into the South before being turned back. The 50,000 Americans there would suffer heavy casualties too. The South's military is modern, well equipped, and well trained, so they and the US troops would prevail in the end.
But that situation is so damn scary for both sides . Most people don't even know about it, but it seems to me that an open war there would be one of the worst things that could happen.
Well, if those cameras are his, then they must not be turned off then? He doesn't have anything to worry about from the police then?
WAKE UP. I'm trying to help you. Obviously his opponents are smarter/sneaker/more willing to break laws than he is. If he wants to make a difference in the world he needs to make sure that he's effective. That means paying attention to the world as it IS, not as he imagines that it should be.
Anyone notice that there's no option to post anonymously in the games forum? I wonder if Cmdr. Taco is experimenting with removing the AC posting ability to cut down on the troll chatter.
Don't send them cash. Send them CD's. They can sell them to used record stores to raise the money to pay off the thugs. That's what I call killing two birds with one stone.
I don't agree. The government pays for the cameras with money collected from the people, no?
By that argument, everyone should have access to a Harrier or an aircraft carrier for a few minutes a year. Or you should be able to take a nap in the Prime Minister's bed.
For examples of what I'm talking about, I suggest you look at indymedia
It's already in my bookmarks. And I make the claim that relying on the cameras of the press, even the alternative press, is not the same as having your own camera.
They take your cameras, arrest you, beat you
No, you misunderstand. The cameras don't go with the protestors. The cameras should be wielded by people who are apart from the protests. And if it's not possible to do proper photography in the location of the march, then the march should change location.
Your opponents are being smarter than you, and if you insist on demonstrating where you don't have a tactical advantage (lots of safe places for friendly cams) then you will lose and it will be your fault. Take this as constructive criticism.
Slashdot Mirror
He filled in step 2.
1) invent pop-ups
2) sue everyone
3) profit!

How about some schematics? Or maybe a pointer to a website on how to build some hardware?
That didn't protect Microsoft. They have the same thing in their license.
First, this is not good if he wins, because someone could sue a GPL author for the same kind of deal.
Second, it seems that it would be like suing Stephen King for causing nightmares.
Anyone have a password to the site? You've got to be a member to read it, and I am not a member of the IEEE.

Cool, that's exactly what I was looking for.
Well then, there's always going to be the user that wants to get back the 6th edit.
Not my fault if the user is that stupid. I believe in asking the user and if they confirm their stupid action, go ahead and do it.
Except that you're once again tracking employment, which can lag a recovery by a full year.

DNS is not always available, and it doesn't really answer my question, does it?

You are correct. I was talking more about the possibility of losing 50% or more of the 50,000 troops that we have stationed there.

It could be worse.
They could introduce an annoying little dog friend for Portheos, named "Scrappy Doo".

Sorry this is OT, just wanted to mention it.

As I said, take it as constructive criticism. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
