  2. If it was me, I'd be fighting covered with the stuff the guy on the right has ... all over my body! Good luck Shawn
  3. But what about movies? performances? It's not just athletics ... actually just this past week, every one of the top 10 on the pop music charts here in US was done by a black performer!!! That says a LOT. Sure, todays "pop" artists leave a lot to be desired but just by the fact that such a underpriviledged minority can come out and be so dominant, it says a lot about their potential as a group. I think it's very inspiring actually. Some of the best actors/actresses happen to be black. I think Whoopi deserved her Oscar for Ghost. I think Martin Lawrence is one of the funniest MoFos around. Denzel Washington? Man he is GOOD. I understand you don't want to date a black person for cultural reasons ... but change the channel on TV?

    eeeeeeeh ... I was REALLY affraid someone was going to ask Let's just say that although times are very very hard, the unemployment rates are really low. But I really really really don't think I want to go into any details of how I would "put it".

    Where do they come up with these statistics? Those are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.

  7. What? What? Then how do you know who won the game?
  8. Yes. USB 1.1 and earlier have a theoretical transfer limit of about 12Mbps which may not be enough to keep up with high-res image scans. This bandwidth is shared among all USB devices so it will be affect by what other USB devices you have in your link tree. With USB 2.0 and above, this will not be a problem. You have like 500 Mbps available which should be fine even for live digital video!!!! My scanner is firewire which tops out at about 400Mbps (theoretical limit). With parallel port connections, it will be highly dependent on CPU speed, software driver, and other operating system dependent issues. Generally you can expect at least 2MBps (Bytes not bits since you can read 8 bits at a time) but things like ECP and EPP make huge differences in the actual rates.
  9. Anyone know which was the second Christian nation?
  10. Programming language inventor or Serial Killer? I got 9/10
  11. he he hehehehe hhahahaaaaa hahahahaha ... love the use of the word "patiently" there. I'll probably win an Oscar or an emmy before a Nobel ...
  12. That's pretty ****ed up. At times like this, you really start to wonder about the "scientific community".
  13. Hehehe ... I told you Azat, some people get very very nervous anytime you can pry into their privacy I always thought this RFID stuff and similar techniques to do backscatter communication (not using your own energy to transmit) to be really cool. Some guys at Berkeley are working on this thing called "Smart Dust" ... it is a very tiney processor with sensors packaged in about 1 square mm One of the methods they are exploring for communication is the use of very small mirrors arranged in the shape of a corner-cube. With MEMs technology, they can move the mirrors so that they either reflect light back or not. So from very far, you can shine a laser on these and read back 1's and 0's in form of reflections!!!!
  14. The technology aint that simple brotha! Actually I think there is an FCC mandate that is going into effect that EVERY mobile phone sold in the US must support this. GSM has been doing this for years and that's why they have that service in europe. The problem with having it in the US is all the different standards, all the different networks, and infrastructures, etc that made implementing this a very complicated process. So maybe I should correct myself that the technology itself is not as complicated as the implementation part. Actually a lot of the new phones now come with GPS built in so that makes things even easier to locate devices that can't be triangulated. Another point to keep in mind in addition to technical/implementation challenges is security and privacy. Anytime a topic like this comes up, a lot of people get very very nervous. So that just adds to the complications. By the way, I hate to bring this up, but if they are using signal strength for ranging, then they are trilaterating and NOT triangulating.

    Is there an opening for janitor, bus boy, or concierge?

    Nair, what if you're already turned on and don't even know it? Ever consider that possibility?
  18. If they are games, don't bother. Almost all of them are on the web. You should worry about your own stuff ... docs, programs, etc.

    To his defense, he looks at least 20 years younger so it's ok.

    Sorry for the pics. I know those were the factor. Don't judge all men by those and don't forget those are fake

    You will not believe how much I laughed at that!!!!1
  22. At some point I had ALL C64 games ever made but I think I accidentally erased it ... I was pretty sure I had them on CD ... but I can't find them. I may have let one of my friends borrow the CD (had other stuff on it) and forgot about it. I also made the cable once to connect my 1541 disk drive to my PC parallel port ... then I could read all my old C64 disks! It was sweeet (info on how to do this is on the web). But I do have all the old Atari games and the emulator is pretty good! I even have the 2600 emulator for my IPAQ so you can play all the games on it!!!

    How about 1/2 kling-ons? http://www.digital-brilliance.com/kab/essays/trektree/images/worf.jpg It would be best of both worlds ... not really a full klingon but would still have all the features Armat is talking about!
