This is particularly important, as Duke University is at the centre of the US "Bible belt" - and many of the trial participants, regardless of whether they were randomised to receive prayer during the trial, would be getting it from relatives and friends - and of course themselves.
Color is also noticeable by others, making a it easier to saee how much money another person is carrying. Just having a number, that can only be read up close, is much safer.
They should be sentenced to LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE in a hard labor camp busting rocks in a dungeon, never to see daylight again, with a 40 pound steel ball chained and permanent welded to one of their ankles. And they thought being poor was bad?
Actually, that is a bad idea. They can get used to that situation, and it costs a great deal of money for incarciration, probably more than the counterfeit.
Instead, corperal punishment should be used. A good whipping on public TV will be a significant deterance for most things.
Both the Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea coin were rolled out with great fanfare, but people largely ignored them. Why? Because there was no reason to change, since Uncle Stupid kept printing paper dollars.
Bzzt!
The Susan B. Anthony coin was rejected because it looked like a quarter.
The gold coin was a failure, for one because it was exteremely politically motivated (the picture).
Besides, the use of coins will cause the dollar to be treated as change, and spent more easily. While this helps the economy in money spent, it also raises inflation as people will value the dollar less. People just don't want the dollar to be considered change.
Look at Canada -- they did the same thing, except they stopped printing the paper. People grumbled at first ("fear change"), but now it is all good.
Canada is used to being the US's back yard. They accept US money, and understand that there money is worth less (two words). Therefore, accepting the dollar as a coin is acceptable.
Easy recipe for change:
1. At the next election, add a line item to the ballot: Replace dollar bills with coins or add national sales tax of 1% to cover cost of printing paper money?
2. When coins wins by 99 to 1, start minting coins to cover supply
3. Stop printing dollars
4. "The problem will naturally work itself out."
5....
6. Profit! (Actually yes, because a coin lasts 20+ years, whereas a bill lasts only 18 months on avg)
And the raise in inflation will negate all the profit.
The paper dollar exists because that is what people want. You should not force unwelcome opinions on the people.
Next, the Metric system: time to join the rest of the planet.
Bah! The Metric system is nice on paper, though not in real life.
Or, let everyone use all availible bandwidth. However, each person is allowed to have x amount of bandwith no matter what. So, if it is used by someone else above and beyond their guaranteed amount, they get that bandwith from them.
So, for example, if 10 units (unit being some amount of bits per second) are allowed per person, and there are 1000 people on the line, the line is capable of supporting 10,000 units. If only one person is online, he should be able to use all 10,000 units. 10 guaranteed, and the other 9,990 from the pool. If another logs on, they get their guaranteed 10 units, leaving 9,980 in the pool, which is split amongst those who want to use it.
I believe sprint does this with their microwave connections. Each person gets a timeslice, and they only allow a certain amount of people per server. However, when noone's logged on, you get much more bandwith.
This is absolute rubbish, a different system of quantification should be used when referring to binary powers, as the borrowing of those from SI is clearly misleading.
Contrariwise!
Borrowing terms is perfect. Instead of needing to learn new words, old words are applied in new cases. For most of the consumer market years, people *knew* a megabyte was 1024 bytes. I remember when the major hard drive manufacturers switched, for the marketing gimick, and had to put messages on the drives stating that it was using 1000 instead of 1024.
The SI are interesting, and easy to understand. They do not reflect reality, however. The non-SI units were based on reality, are are of much better use.
I remeber one game, Heart of Darkness. I was helping one of the developers write the install program, when, for some stupid reason, i asked him how to get passed a certain part. He asked how i played the game since it was not out of development yet! I told him that i'd ask the guy whose computer it was on, and found it to be a warez group. To this day i wonder how it leaked, and how the guy felt when i asked him that question.
Neat though. He sent us a complimentary copy at the end. The 3D movie was pretty kewl.
My first moiuse was an Agiler. It even came with a dock, so the mouse could be kep on side of the monitor.:) Then we got a trackball. I really liked that trackball. Easy use of the thumb to move around. Unfortunately, i have never found a trackball like it since. They all seem require to require some odd placement of the hand to rest the thumb on the ball. I liked the simple, directly to the left, placement of the ball.
Mr. Edison, I was informed, had been up the two previous nights discovering 'a bug' in his phonograph - an expression for solving a difficulty, and implying that some imaginary insect has secreted itself inside and is causing all the trouble.
Generating a visual representation is often the best way to understand large data sets,
No, it is often the *worst*. What you meant to say is that it is the *easiest*. Learn to data first, and then check what is really important. Pictures help with a quick overview, but hide the real details.
The biggest problem with tersting tis that people test what the code was programmed to do. However, testing should be based on the requirements, to make sure that it does what it was intended for. Also, if the test document is written before coding, it means people won't cut corners when writing that document (due to optimism) and it may help drive coders to code the really important parts first.
Acutally, I thought it was a stupid movie, with two or three cute scenes. The cow scene was great. The baby scene at the beginning (especially rolling down the hill) was cute. Overall, however, i thought it was stupid, but definitely a cute idea.
Perhaps the answer is in the RFC that defines it? RFC 1918 states (Section 5):
If a suitable subnetting scheme can be designed and is supported by the equipment concerned, it is advisable to use the 24-bit block (class A network) of private address space and make an addressing plan with a good growth path. If subnetting is a problem, the 16-bit block (class C networks), or the 20-bit block class B networks) of private address space can be used.
So, the answer is to use Class A when you design it, unless subnetting might cause issues.
On another note. Routers seem to default to Class C, and might not be changeable. Windows defaults to Class B, but is very changeable. Class C, however, is by far the most common. So, for compatibility in a small company, i'd use Class C, and switch to class A (and make a good plan) you you start to have decents networks in more than one location.
If you're hot at 72, then maybe you're wearing an extra layer, um, under the skin?
I am quite chilly at 70 degrees. Shorts at that temperature would be out of the question.
So, you like it warmer. I like it colder. We then compromise. Compromise meaning that both people gain something. If it is 72, i would gain little, my productivity is low, and there is nothing i can really do to rectify the situation. Conversely, someone who is cold can put on warmer clothes.
I think there are some people who are "warm" people, some people who are cold people. I do know people who bring sweaters to work just to deal with a bunch of people who turn the ACs down. I guess I understand your perspective -- they can do something about being to cold, but you can't do anything if you're too hot -- but I think calling 72 degrees too warm is a stretch.
It isn't a stretch for me. My back becomes very uncomfortable, and i begin to fall asleep. At 74, i basically cannot work.
Personally, I like it about 65 degrees. When my ac works, that's where i keep it, and in the winter i only use heat if i really need it. However, i understand that others might find this cold, so i will compromise, and give up some comfortability to go to 69. Above this is just plain uncomfortable and counter-productive.
The other nice thing about 69 is that many people are more awake, even if they would like it warmer. Looking atr an office and temperature comfirmed for me, that the colder it is, the better people work. The warmer, the more they slow down.
Also, cooling an office building down to 69 degrees, especially during the very hot days of summer, uses a lot of energy.
True. But that should not go into the equation until *after* a compromised temperature (or other solution) is agreed upon.
Just have to agree with you. Duke Numem 3D was a fantastic game, and concentrated of fun.
Personally, I like the jetpack. The jetpack and the RPG in Stadium deathmatch.:) Or the hiding places in the abyss (behind the waterfall). And, by default, splash damage was significant, so killing someone was less being quick at the mouse, and more about where the player was going to be.

Considering a great deal of Slashdotters don't believe in a deity, they are unlikely to read it that way just for some deity.
And why reading it like that helps a deity is beyond me.

Sheesh!
Slashdot loves microwaves.
Perhaps its time for as "microwave" section?

If I punch people in the face, can I call that a service, too?
Of course. Hit them in the nose and let blood. They should be thankful!
I bought an Any Key. After some hacking, we replaced the Scroll Lock key with it. It's worth the laugh. :)

You can do the lightening effect, take it out and wait a few seconds, then scratch off the data layer into little flakes.
