It could very well be legitimate.
In some Chinese traditions, people who recently had a family member pass away aren't supposed to "expose" themselves to the public so that they would not bring "bad luck" to others. Likewise, in such traditions, one would stay away from funerals or homes of...
Yesterday I received help from two Navy guys in time of need, and I want to thank them for it. I did ask them to leave their information, and I know which base and ship they are station at. What would be an appropirate and respectful way to show my gratitude? I was thinking about writing a...
Any good SE program will not need you to take additional programming classes as a supplement. They WILL teach you to program in a SE program.
If you're talking about a graduate degree, however, then you will most likely be required to complete bridge courses before starting the actual...
I got my undergrad degree in Software Engineering, and my graduate degree in Computer Science. So I know a little about the differences in the approaches and objectives (at least in one institution). An imperfect analogy I like to use is that Software Engineering to Computer Science is similar...
nailing the planks shouldn't be necessary as you set one plank on the two sides of the corner, and set the other so that one end is on the corner of the island and the other end rests on the middle of the first plank.
This works because of the following:
The value of the number ABCDE (where each letter is a digit) is 10000*A + 1000*B + 100*C + 10*D + 1*E. If we look at just one of the digits and the value it contributes to the sum, let's say, B, which contributes 1000*B to the sum in this case. And we...
I should add, I'm not as pessimistic as I may come off as. I believe that we will innovate and change as a society and as an economy, but the process will not be an easy one.
Compared to people in most other countries, Americans are paid much higher wages for the same jobs. I should not say "over"paid here since as some of pointed out, the cost of living is also higher in the US. I'm not an economist, but my personal speculation is that in the next few decades, as...
Here's one suggestion... buy a small tube of wasabi and put a tiny amount in your mouth whenever you get sleepy. It sure works in keeping me up on long sleep deprived drives.
shilala, again I admire your conviction and I do not doubt your good will. I would, however, like to challenge you on how your patritism is manifested in your purchasing choices.
I wholly agree with your comment on how gray the "domestic" vs. "foreign" argument has become, and I think you...
shilala and Zebo, I think your patriotism and your concern for fellow Americans are commendable. However, I respectfully disagree with your views pertaining to buying domestic vehicles.
Several streams of thought (many already mentioned in previous posts):
1. If the current social system...
Starting today (3/20/2005), Office Depot has their" super white copy paper" for $1.79 a ream out the door. It's 108 bright, 20lb. You may be able to find reams that are 600 sheets instead of 500 sheets like I did, making the deal even better.

I'm building a system for my brother. The two cards I am comparing are the ATI FireGL T2 and the Nvidial Quadro FX500. Both are in the same price range (around $210). Which would be better? Are there other cards I should be looking into?
I am aware that some gaming cards can be soft or...
Hi there,
I will be moving to the Seattle area in the next couple of weeks. I hope I can have some questions answered on the forum by the kind people from the area.
My job will be in Kent, WA, and either there, or Renton will be where I'll live for the first few months. How do the two...
I was faced with the same decision a couple months ago, and I went with the FZ3. The Canon is a very good camera, with a superior movie mode, but what can I say, I'm a sucker for Leica lens. Plus I preferred the shape and UI of the panasonic over the S1. I cannot be more happy with my FZ3...
Here's something that came to mind.
It's easy to see that given 2 integers A and B and another integer N,
(A + B) mod N = ((A mod N) + (B mod N)) mod N
Something I just realized is that the same relationship can be draw when we deal with the sum of digits in an integer, then do the mod...
Do animals have a sense of right and wrong? (I mean animals other than human beings, if that was confusing. And please include in the discussion any type of animals as you like)
As a human being, I find in myself at least two threads:
What my nature tells me to do. Innate desires...
Thanks for all the replies!!
I have another question, this time about ID3 tags. I have some Chinese CD's, from which the ID3 tags seem to be created fine (album, track title in Chinese). They all seem to be in fine order when I view them on the computer. Now once I have the songs...
thanks for the response.. i changed the preset string from "standard" to "extreme" (what does it do?? i didnt know but extreme sounds good.. :D)
bump for more input
Hi,
I just started ripping mp3 files from my audio cd's. Currently I'm using EAC with lame, which seems to be doing a fine job. As I'm new to this, I don't know much about the settings and options that would produce optimal result. Hopefully you mp3/cd gurus can chime in and tell me "if...
Hi there,
My family and I will be visiting the Seattle area for about 5 days. I'm looking for lodging, and came up with several pretty decent looking ones. Since I don't live in Seattle, I really don't know how the areas surrounding the hotels are.
The place I'm thinking of staying is...

over my years here, I can tell you that the higher powers in RIT have been doing quite a bit to improve the school's image, and the quality of life for the students here..
