    POLL: so i recently bought a SEIKO clock

    I'd say it's because their language does not have the second sound. And that the L sounds most like the R sound that they do have. Kinda of like listening to adult Westerners learning Chinese. They have a much more difficult (if not impossible) time recognizing the different tones because...

    Mother of all GT-Rs!

    http://www.experiencelemans.com/en-us/dept_142.html Competed in GT1 against McLarens. Came in 10th place in '95. Beat an F40, and a McLaren. Perhaps not kicking ass.. but competitive. http://www.experiencelemans.com/en-us/dept_141.html Came in 15th in '96.

    how does hashing work?

    It's not exactly one-to-one.. it's almost one-to-one. The chance for a hash collision, while remote, exists.

    Explain the open source movement to me.

    Early software, was funded by research and essentially open source. Software as a form of research lends itself to being free (research publications, sharing of research with other researchers, development under government grants, etc). Software as a creative expression also lends itself to...

    Intel 2200 vs Dell 1350 - which WiFi chipset is better?

    I would go with the 1350 personally. My experiences with Intel's previous version (was it the 2100?) that was 802.11B only soured me. Their B version had nasty compatibility issues with older access points. Their 2200 might be more compatible, and newer access points don't seem to have issues...

    Is Mapquest's "driving directions" program just a highly elaborate application of the "travelling saleman" problem?

    The searching would be the same.. you either weight the paths by distance or by time (distance / speed). You could potential search for the "simplest" route, the one with fewest turns, which would translate to the path with the shortest depth.

    Is Mapquest's "driving directions" program just a highly elaborate application of the "travelling saleman" problem?

    Yes. Why do you ask? There is not much to discuss, it's not really a subjective matter. Achtung: A*, Depth First Search, Breadth First Search are probably the more fundamental ones. I'm sure Mapquests algorithms are based on them and heavily heuristical in nature. Otherwise it would take far...

    working with PHP session on load-balanced servers

    Some load balancers can also do "sticky" load balancing (I think that's the terminology). Where users from one IP or whatever always hit the same server. Though we use a session handler that saves to a database accessible by both web servers.

    Earlier dig was listing their nameservers as ns1.newegg.com and ns2.newegg.com. Now it looks like Akamai is hosting their nameservers. Looks like a migration to Akamai gone horribly wrong. Damn.. Don't they understand that I had a harddrive fail last night?!? I need new harddrives....

    website question: general public's screen resolution?

    According to my work's statistics (shhhhh): 44% are running 1024x768 38% are running 800x600 3% are running 1280x1024 2% are running 1152x864 1% are running 640x480 Which is to say right now your site looks bad to most of the world. And after you adapt it to 1024x768, 40% of your users...

    Remote Code Collaboration

    Best ONLINE FLOWER DELIVERY site?

    Thumbs down for 1800flowers and FTD. I've spend hundred's with both. Delivery issues, crap "cards", flowers don't last long very long.

    API for an online database.

    Amazon has 2 interfaces for its web services. One is SOAP I believe (I don't remember, it was a while ago since I worked with it, and I chose not to use this option), and the other was more in line with what you described (passing in parameters in the URL, and returning data in the body.

    ROFL - FIG asks Hamm to give up Gold Medal

    My understanding is that start values are calculated by 2 judges after they have viewed the routine (since the routine can be changed during the performance - adding/removing an element). A 3rd judge oversees them, and steps in if they are in disagreement. I'm not sure how this judging differs...

    Is It Soy Sauce?

    You'll notice that it doesn't say "Soy Sauce" on the bottle anywhere. And based on the ingredients, it doesn't seem like it is brewed like "real" soy sauce. I'm Chinese and I don't know about this "bottle on every table" thing. I don't consider it "real" soy sauce as it does taste different.

    Where did the idea that people shouldn't pay for software come from?

    Re: Microsoft selling X for $Y. I work for a little software company that has a less than impressive product. And we sell it for a lot of money. We could sell it for $20 or something and get many more customers. But guess what we don't make many more money. After some price testing we found the...

    What class of ATOT do you belong to? *Poll*

    Class of 99! Lurked before then on the previous board. (Was it UBB?) And when they opened up the new one I figured I'd register my username. Not sure where those 98 people are coming from, unless they're counting the old board as well.

    leaking capacitor on mobo? (pics inside)

    Walkman 'inventor' ponders iPod action

    Yes, that is the point of a patent. It grants the inventor a temporary monopoly in exchange for all necessary information to recreate the invention to be public domain at the expiration of the patent. The same should happen with copyrights, but Disney lobbied hard, and copyright expirations keep...

    Apache2 issue with mod_rewrite

    I'm working on a PHP script for my website. I use a mod_rewrite rule, so that all requests within a directory end up calling my script. My script then parses the URI, and determines the proper action. I'm working on an admin area, and login and logout functionality. So in my script I check with...

    Method vs Function ?

    I always classified them this way: function = return value procedure = don't return value method = function or procedure that belongs to an object I really never heard the term method used to describe a subroutine pre-OOP. Wikipedia argrees: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(programming)

    php vs perl in web pages

    If you're using Perl for web work, unless you're using FastCGI or mod_perl, you're going to be forking a new process that restarts a new instance of perl for each request just to run your script. This will scale poorly versus PHP. It would also make it difficult for you to pool your database...

    Weight Watchers. You're allowed to eat pretty much everything with moderation. It is really a life style change with a support group. It consists of a weekly meeting with weigh in and journal keeping. It's definitely not a fad diet, and requires dedication and hard work. You don't need to do...

    Want go get back into R/C cars...Team Associated, HPI or Tamiya?? **Updated 3/24** Pic of Loot :)

    I actually have this kit, with the Focus body. I really like HPI, I felt their kits were fairly high quality. And I love that their parts are so heavily interchangeable across their RS4 line. Though I liked my RS4 Nitro Mini a lot more. They run longer, faster, and sound cooler. They're dirtier...
