I'm sure that'll go over great with your party fighting enemies in a narrow hallway.
I'm sure the DM and your party members will be VERY forgiving when they have to create new characters.
I forget, the AoE of Fireball is either 5 feet or 5 meters. Either way, using it in a small room is not a good idea when you're in the room, unless you don't like your "friends."
>I don't want to use links because I don't necessarily want to work on the files sitting on my back-up drive. If I want to restore the file for whatever reason links would not allow me to do this.
Right, again this wasn't clear from the original post I commented on.
Out of curiosity, how does the 'cp' command on the console work in OS X? Does it work like the standard Unix/Linux copy with merging? Or does it replace?
Its best looking way, but perhaps tar or a script that uses tar works best?
Again, that wouldn't work for the simplest user, so adding a merging option to the finder's copy function would probably be the best solution.
My understanding, after reading the article this morning and never hearing of MECO's before, is that only one should exist.
When the matter gets compressed to the point where one of these should form, one of two things should happen:
The matter should keep getting compressed and very dense such that it has so much gravity it form a singularity ( black hole )
As the matter gets compressed to a point where physics begin to be have weirdly, particles pop in and out of existence, energy is created and destroyed, a large magnetic field forms
The idea is that these are mutually exclusive.
The compressed matter will either form a MECO or Black hole. Only one thing should happen.
I don't study these sort of things, but that is my layman's understanding.
The way the original comment was worded, it sounded like you wanted the operating system to actively search for folders with the same name and merge them automatically. Which didn't make much sense to me, like if I had two coding projects with a directory named "src", I wouldn't want them to have the same contents automatically.
OSX should have some facility for setting up links if you want just two, or more, directories to point to the same place. On the older OS's they had aliases, like Window's shortcuts. I would think that OSX would support aliases, in addition to soft/hard links, given its BSD base.
But adding a "Merge" option when copying makes sense.
First, I want Apple to have folders merge their contents when files or folders of the same name are encountered. Currently there is no easy way to syncoronize the contents of folders with the same name.
You want two folders with the same name to have the same contents? Ever try symbolic or hard links?
I was refering to an episode of "South Park" called "Christmas in Canada" which parodies "The Wozard of Oz."
Where they sing about following the yellow brick road became something like "follow the only road, follow the only road, to get anywhere Canada just follow the only road."
Its a little off topic, but the ending of the episode was interesting considering the picture they used for a certain character had been taken and his location had only been found like 3 days before the episode aired.
I'll agree to that.
The first time I went up to a friend's house in a town around Rochester, it took me between 2 and 3 hours from just South of Buffalo, because I didn't want to pay the toll.
Every other time I've taken the 90, and it takes me 80 - 90 minutes tops.
The toll is usually worth it over longer distances, like from Buffalo to Rochester. But I'll take to the local roads to Darien Lake. Gotta save that 25 cents, or however much that toll is up to now.
1's grow on trees, but 0's are precious resource which need to protect.
If people other then Microsoft don't start doing the same thing, there won't be any 0's left for our great-grandchildren.
Information posted here seem to indicate that there will be a hardware solution. I haven't been following the story, though.
I've wondering how long it will be until there is a "3rd party" "virutal console" to let you play any games you already "own a copy of" on your shiny new "Revolution."
Now why would I want to play Xbox games? I don't even own one.
My *point* was that PS3 and Revolution have backwards compatibility with the current generation through hardware, or at least they are suppose to.
Software emulation can get pretty good, but it takes years to get to that point. The day I buy a PS3 or Revolution I'll be able to play any game I already own for the current generation of that line. My understanding is that is not true with with XBox. That is my point!
Or if you fight it in court....but that is circumventing the required punishments.
This isn't true.
In addition to any legal consquences/punishments, the school will also impose their own.
A couple of years ago, my some guys on a fraternity show, or something on MTV. They hopped the wall into zoo, which was caught on camera, then aired.
The zoo had them charged with trespassing. To top it off, the Student Judiciary body gave them comunity service hours to complete. I don't remember what happened with the trespassing charges, though.
I went to a private school for a year, and there was ZERO privacy. There were drug tests, they monitored our activities outside of school, and from speaking with students from other schools it was a widespread phenomenon.
Where was this? And how long ago?
I went to a private highschool for 4 years and never encoutered anything like that! They did tell us, though, that bad publicity would lead to punishment. But no drug tests or surveillance at non-school events.
The closest thing I can think of was after the Junior prom of course there were a few parties. One guy brought photos into school a few days later, another guy was holding a beer in one of the photos. One of the teachers saw the photo, and the student in the picture was given a couple days of detention.
The party happened OUTSIDE of the school, but bringing the photos into the school forced the school to weigh in on it.
Freshmen year there was a kid who threatened to blow up the school, he brought in playdoh and said it was C-4. He was taken away by the cops, and that was the last we saw of him.
The only other event I can think of was a student who got expelled 2 or 3 weeks before graduation. He was caught selling weed to a Freshmen, in his car, in the school parking lot.
That being said, I also think private schools aren't the answer problems like these. Kids will be kids, as the saying goes. Just speculation, but they probably want to make an example of this kid, but they turning him into a martyr for students rights.
Well, given that OS X now famously runs on Intel, and that plenty of Mac users still happily run various versions of OS X on 400 MHz G3's with 128 MB of RAM, it's surely possible.
This isn't necessarily true.
PPC and x86 architectures are different. RISC vs CISC.
Anyone who has taken an introduction to processor design class and understood it, can tell you that 400 Mhz on architecture does not mean the same thing as 400 Mhz on another processor, especially with RISC vs CISC.
Many other things need to be taken into consideration in addition to the clock rate, like the number of clock cycles needed to execute an instruction.
But I agree with the good folks at MIT that the OS must be open-source, to allow complete transparency and tinkerability and to prevent any one vendor from being able to dictate terms to the project later on.

I actually hated that XBox 360 commerical with "Teddybears Picnic" song.
I'm not sure what I bunch of kids running around throwing water balloons has to do with video game systems...

Yeah, but can your Xbox 360, refurb'ed xbox, and beer let you play PS1-PS3 games?
I like backwards compatibility. It was easier to just leave my PS2 plugged in then swap the cables with the PS1.
My point was that with the other two next gen consoles, you can play the current gen games fine through hardware, not software emulation.
Backwards compatibility is an issue I personally like in systems, even though some don't.
...to buy Nintendo, or maybe Sony.
...only to system to repel all viruses released before December 25, 2005: Altimit?
I think its called "Dungeons and Dragons Online: Table Top Edition"
That bitmap generator reminds of the "Face on Mars".
Or at least the first few images looked like it.
I'm almost positive I remember seeing a SNES rom labeled "Mario Party", somewhere.
I'm pretty sure it was SNES, not N64.
What went right with the game cube....
Actually they aren't that bad. Mario Party can make for a fun dmaily game night.
This isn't true.

Wow, that sure takes a load off.

I agree that this is important.
