personally i'd send it to China for "recycling"...
Aye, junk it. One of the considerations now in my bang for buck considerations in running home servers is the power bill. Sure, it was cool to have my old P3 tower sitting there as a little slackware workhorse doing mail, web, shells and everything else for me but at the same time it's sucking up 200W... I could get a dual core atom box which runs on 50W for little money.
I had an 8' floppy disk back in 1982 which I kept on my bedroom wall for years.
Wow, 8 foot!
Yes, there are open-source HMI projects available, but try convincing someone to deploy a life-critical system using one of them.
That's the first time I've seen alpha software with a "This may kill you and everyone around you" warning that was literally true.
It's not a great confidence boost when you're thinking of switching from the commercial solution which I am sure makes plenty of soothing cooing noises about its safety.
Actually I was reading William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich at 10. I did pick my nose though... still do.
I wasn't reading a whole lot besides Asterix at that age, but I did have a decent record collection including Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction - the swearing amused me. Didn't understand why the middle sized robot smashed the nice naked lady's little sized robots but was glad the big sized robot caught him at it.
As for nose picking? Only in the car and other times when I think people can't see me...
It would be nice if we had robot police who were 100% fair, but until then, police are just people, and people skills will help you. Or in your case, hurt you.
If a bunch of people needed to be taught "respect must be earned" it's police.
I keep my head down because my people skills rarely survive hours of beatings (true story, folks... but I get too angry telling it).
Not only will this be the first fully HTML5 compliant parser
Really, fully compliant with an incomplete and moving spec? That IS clever coding.
To use the show Breaking Bad as an analogy, it's Walter White vs. Jesse Pinkman. Who would you want making your drugs?
Jesse's shit is good now, he learned well from Walter.
That said, I'm probably not going to be buying a lot of crystal unless things really go downhill
Poor snake. Probably died. (Regurgitating sucks when you're a snake.) Oh well, Darwin at work I suppose.
Aye, fuckin' right it died - regurgitating is supposed to blow!
I don't see anything wrong with that as long as they're not playing first-person shooter games, violent games, games with a lot of sexual or drug content.
Stop the censure! I grew up with duke nukem and it had no bad consequences.
And I'm all out of gum!
I want the badge to be a silhouette of Nico Bellic (or one of his counterparts from another GTA game) whacking someone by the river bank... or maybe a montage of three Nicos:
- Battering a hooker
- Doing a line
- Riverside execution
All in a day's work^Wplay.
You can fully "undress" it, down to the bare basics, and it is incredibly stable. You'll definitely run it from a 4 Gb USB stick - and your students, most importantly, will LEARN from it.
I learned a hell of a lot from using Slackware and still use it as my day to day distro... but from a server management perspective:
Debian shell server with user-mode linux instances for each user - you can keep an OS image centrally with any changes made going into a copy-on-write file in the home directory. I find this a lot simpler than maintaining separate VM and OS - If the student messes up, nuke their COW file and it's back to stock.
Before starting to use spotify I had upwards of 200gb of mp3s (mostly badly sorted, tagged) that I used as a music library and downloaded huge amounts of music. These days I dont bother. Most of what I want is on spotify and I pay for a "premium" service with no ads. Was nice to reclaim those gigabytes
I maintain my own music collection (it is sorted and tagged impeccably, btw). The disk space overhead (x2, backup, backup, backup!) is completely worth it to me to be able to listen to music how, when and where I like. I can buy any portable player I like, I can copy the music to any device, I don't need a constant connection to the internet to listen to my collection (which is good, as my "broadband" service is a turd), I can maintain the collection in a quality which is acceptable to me (i.e. not internet streaming quality)... There are probably other great reasons for maintaining my own collection but I just take this freedom for granted so am having trouble listing the other things I like about it.
A chunk of my collection is old stuff captured from my own vinyl collection, I would imagine there is much of it that is simply not available in Spotify's catalogue (I'd like to confirm this but blah blah my country etc.)
...cross platform opengl is dead...
As opposed to cross-platform DirectX which is alive and kicking.
It matters because standard def is 4:3 and high def is 16:9. The simpsons looks a lot better now that I don't need to stretch it to fit my screen.
Maybe, but it's still not funny any more.
Hermes: Sweet Sally in the Alley!
*Shivering*
Sweet.. something of
Oh sweet they're announcing a new sequel to Koyaanisqatsi too, done by valve? Wild.
Well, word is Aperture don't make their laboratory ware from Pyrex but from Philip Glass.
