6'2 195lb cop on "administrative leave" (still getting paid)

1. beats the shit out of a tiny 15 year old girl
2. shoots a mentally ill man 11 times
3. Gets a DUI

omg he was "assaulted" with a shoe...

why did the cop who was with him not arrest the other cop? at the very least he could have used means to stop his partners abusive behavior.
all cops are the same. if there were any good cops, there would be no bad cops.

fucking cowards.

why/why not?

why bailout the auto industry? If there was value to it, private investors would back it. Why make the taxpayer have to pay for something with no value?

why not cut spending rather than "stimulate" the economy? the only way we are going to pay for this "stimulus" is debt/print money/taxation, all of which will be like not using lube...

while I agree that spending money on infrastructure is great, why not keep it at the state level like it's suppose to be. The fed should not get involved in that.

i could go on... but hopefully this provides *some* clarity.

chromium on debian/os x

thanks to codeweavers

http://www.codeweavers.com/services/ports/chromium/

works fairly well (well... heh, screenshot might suggest otherwise).

Cannot wait until google finally releases an official port for linux/mac (cannot believe they did not make it platform agnosticish from the beginning).

One thing I hate (but I understand the reasoning, complexity=bugs/problems, but i think soon [probably even now] the benefits will outweigh the costs) about firefox/epiphany/etc is that they are all single threaded and do not take advantage of multicore cpu's very well.

this becomes somewhat of a big deal if you are like me and use google for just about everything (docs/calendar/reader/mail/blogger/finance/search). most of their stuff is very ajaxy and requires a bunch of cpu power (yay for php+javascript+whatever else for ajax to work).

Working on a google docs spreadsheet in firefox is aweful. you see the one core pegged at full load (the one firefox process eatting up 100% making the entire browser unusable) and the other core sitting idle.

Even though firefox 3.1 is much quicker at javascript (on par with chrome) it sucks not being able to do anything in your browser while you are waiting for 10+ seconds for your spreadsheet to finish applying some formula.

chrome is great, and while yes, it takes about the same amount of time to update formulas, I can actually do something else like check my gmail while I am waiting.

I understand it is probably going to be very difficult to make firefox multithreaded, but would it hurt to look towards the future and create a multithreaded branch for developers to start working towards a multithreaded firefox?

All I can say is, thank god for competition. if it were not for chrome, it would probably be a much longer wait for firefox to implement.

and now I go back to accounting homework...

not sure if this is real, if it is, lol

well, cannot get internet access in my room anymore, neighbors ap won't even connect anymore :(
hopefully this awesome neighbor gets it fixed up soonish.

on the plus side I found a faster network (400kbps vs 50kbps), but it can only be accessed from downstairs where it's really cold and I don't have my table/whiteboard/monitor/keyboard/etc

both essid's were "linksys" thus the compy seemed to be confused about which it was connecting to.

and thanks to http://64.223.189.234/node/808 (change settings on router w/o password) I was able to move to the clear channel 1 (probably why I get 400kbps). I am surprised by how huge of an exploit that is, only discovered this past year and so many millions of linksys ap's with the stock firmware from before 2008...

update your firmware if you care about security!!!

i would ask for permission, but i'm not harming anything, and it's their signal on the property. not to mention how weird it would be to go door to door to strangers asking if you can use their wifi to browse the web. might get shot...

dammit, miss my desk so bad. so damn cold...

I know I am retarded

but is this really all that difficult?

"prove the identity of each of the following boolean equations, using algebraic manipulation:
wy+w'yz'+wxz+w'xy'=wy+w'xz'+x'yz'+xy'z
"
what I have so far (not even sure if it's right)
w(y+xz)+w'(yz'+xy') (the yz' +xy' would both=0 thus drop out)
wy+wxz+w'

any help?

*EDIT
turns out it is very difficult and took our professor ~4-5 hours just to do this problem. nobody else got it.
