Well except for those occasions where it skips into a commercial or skips part of the show before you hit a commercial or where it skips beyond the commercials by 45 seconds. This all does happen and I've found certain shows are much more likely to have this happen. Plenty of shows it works perfectly. I might have started off sounding harsh, but I really like it. It works well enough that the times where it screws up is just inconvenient and annoying. And not overly annoying when compaired to seeing the dumb commercials. Even if I'm going to watch the show when it airs, I'll wait about 15 minutes into it and start watching the recording.
If you get to the Washington or FDR memorial and can't see the numerous signs to the Lincoln memorial or even see the memorial itself, not much is going to help you. They're all within walking distance of each other.
If someone really wanted to get them lost they should have moved the marker to the entrance at the CIA Headquarters. Putting it less than 1/2 a mile from the actual monument wouldn't even get a Beck fan lost.
Easy enough to install.deb files even without alien.
Load the deb file into file-roller. Extract the data.tgz and control.tgz files. Move the files in the data.tgz file to their right places and run the postinst script from the control.tgz file.
Hmm, seems Google installs a daily cron job to check to see if there is an update for their plugin. Nice of them to do, but I'm not sure I'd want software updates until I decide to do them.
Another good site. I've heard a lot of music that I like when I see YouTube videos. It's the label's choice and right to be an idiot. Just like it's my choice and right to stop buying any of their music.
I pay attention to the license. I have a digital name tag that I use at networking events. The audio track for the video on there is under the attribution license. If I ever use any CC licensed music for a money generating project, I will track down the original artist and send them a check. (Well not if they specified non-commercial because I wouldn't consider that track in the first place).
Use a select box and border it one pixel. Hell, before you do that, round the corners grow it a few pixels and fill with the gradient tool. Look in the select menu to see everything you can do to a selection. Granted in GIMP I don't bother much with boxes.
"You can also brilliantly modify cover objects - if you're hiding behind a crate and want to take out enemies without popping up from behind it, shoot a hole in it."
Sounds suspiciously like what I did in BC2 last night. Noob tubed a hole in a cement barrier and blew out the wall on the side of the building so I could cover the MCOM station. Took the attackers (squad rush) a few minutes to figure out where I was at since the kill cam was turned off.
So with all of the nifty, new stuff they are finally compliant, right? I mean no more body {text-align: center;} instead of body { margin: 0px auto; } to center a fixed width layout, right?
I'm sure anyone else who needs to output HTML would love it if MS would just fix their damned browser. Then they can look at adding new features. Or better yet, just drop Trident and replace it with WebKit.
Well they shouldn't have needed to based on the movie having "droids". They still would have been smart to do so because Lucas is rather litigious. But, Lucas apparently also abuses trademark law.

Yes, Lucas certainly does business with the Droid word mark in those goods and services categories. But for Motorola a license is much cheaper than lawyering up against someone like Lucas.
I too own an S Corporation and the shareholders are not subject to self employment taxes. I pay my SS taxes on my wages, the company pays the other half. The corporate profit passes through to my taxes as ordinary income and taxes are paid on that. Active LLC owners are subject to the self employment tax. This is one of the advantages of S Corp over LLC.
Hallelujah on the register_globals. At least magic quotes are now deprecated. Here's looking forward to 6.0 when they are finally removed!! (I've talked to way too many devs who think they are adequate protection against SQL injections)

PHP 5.3 Released
·
· Score: 1, Offtopic
PHP as I told a manager is useful because it is ubiquitous, not because it is perfect or even particularly good. At the time I worked on a derivative of GForge, which is a definite example of the horrors that can come from PHP projects.
This is also an original quote by me: "The beauty of PHP is that it is so simple even an idiot can program with it. The problem with PHP is that so many idiots do choose to program in it."
In my own hosting, I have the choice of using RoR, but the app must be manually redeployed if the server is restarted. So I use CakePHP instead because PHP will be instantly available.:P
5.3 should be cool, now I just need to start pestering my hosting providers about upgrading.
Ditto here too. I use BlueHost to host and I _can_ use RoR, but I need to restart the app manually if the server is rebooted. CakePHP is really RoR like and since it is PHP it comes right back up with the server. So guess which I use.
BF2 has over 5000 people playing right now. CoD4 over 8000. L4D over 6000. TF2 7001.
And how is this for insult to injury. UT2004 currently has 641 players. Almost double UT3. UT3 just seemed like a tech demo. More to sell the engine to other game makers.
I agree with you in spirit. Too bad that idea ends up taking the economy completely out. Hey, we'll be eating dog food on the streets, but we showed them they needed to take responsibility for their actions. What we have here is a lose-lose-lose situation.
Still bad mortgages should never have been allowed to be rolled up into hedged funds and then given a AAA rating. Amazing how the private industry that does so well at regulating itself and making sure bad things don't happen missed that one. Then again the government actively voted against regulating such things so they're not a better choice. Unfortunately people are just plain stupid and greedy.
Would you like to back up that statement with anything because the parent has a point.
This is EA's TF2 killer and it does look like a cheap knock off with the same game play mechanics.
I play TF2 and I am a BF:Heroes beta tester. I can tell you they are nothing like each other except for they both use cell shading. The game play is very different. Definitely not intended to compete with or be a TF2 killer.
It refers to citizenship and even explicitly delineates that only natural citizens may hold certain posts. Everything else is "the people" which is nice and vague. My opinion is that it mean everyone in the US, even the illegals as it is supposed to be a rulebook by which the government is to behave. I wouldn't be wild about going as far as the second amendment, but all basic rights that people should expect within a free and open society (yeah, lots of jokes there) should be guaranteed. The idea of locking folks up without a fair trial or charges is unamerican. Whoops, did I go there?
Yeah, the border search exception. The constitution says how the government is to behave. Not where or when, just how it is to behave. So as soon as you are in an area where the government operates, it becomes the supreme law. Except in cases where it is in their interest not to act so, which brings me back to the exception. I can't find the exact date, but I'm sure it is within 20 years of the ratification. The government is having smuggling problems and since much of the funding is through tariffs, they start doing searches to make sure that folks are not forgetting to declare all items. The supreme court backs them up on this by stating there is an exception to the fourth amendment. Really there is, you just need to look hard. That was sarcasm by the way. So a precedent gets made and it stands because no one wants to see people bring in items that aren't priced out of competition with locally produced items. Unfortunately it starts that slippery slope phenomenon. Try to challenge the border search and they'll throw this back at you.

Act 2 starts at the 17 minute mark.
It's based on this story from the Village Voice. Apparently this is not uncommon.

Slashdot doesn't, your web browser does. http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#idx-white_space-2
This is why we have and <pre>
Most of the games I play don't make much use of more than one core. So a dual core a few years ago was good enough.
Now I've decided to learn the new Blender 2.5 interface and since it will use all cores, 6 is sounding quite nice.
Not everyone needs it, but for the right tasks it's nice.

I'll second the above and add that it will be fantastic to have native support for my gtalk though my gmail account and my google apps account.
The fact that I will be able to have access to my public calendar, personal calendar, and business calendar at the same time is completely fantastic.
I have an iPod Touch and it is nice, but the one exchange calendar/contacts limitation is driving me nuts.
