I'm using a Dell 2001FP TFT display on a GeForce 6800GT graphics card with dual DVI outputs. I've been using them in VGA mode for two months, and recently switched to DVI.
There is no difference in color, refresh rate, sharpness or (lack of) moire patterns. I've got a 'dvitest.png' image someone sent me with a bunch of straight lines in it that's supposed to look better in DVI. Looks exactly the same.

You've assigned in-line pairs of keys from the QWERTY keyboard to a single "key" - for example in array form, k1[q,w], k2[e,r], k3[t,y], etc, signifying 1 or 2 letters of the alphabet paired to an array (or a key called kx).
You want to search through an english wordlist and find which array/kx sequences will generate more than one valid word. So k1, k2, k3 for instance generates two valid words: wet and wry.
You'll probaly want to go word by word in the list, convert the word to kx, ky, kz, k... form, then go through the entire list for each word, trying to find duplicate words generated from the kx sequence.
The kicker is, what algorithm would solve this problem most simple, efficiently, and elegantly?

I feel bad about waiting so long... I haven't seen her in a month, since I went home for winter break, but I'm pretty sure she definitely still considers things "on." I didn't want to do it over the phone, because I consider that impersonal and rude, but then again - it's also rude of me to have waited and dragged things out a month longer for her. Yikes.
For reference, it's crazy mormon girl:

My DSL Connection normally gets ATM VC Congestion errors and loses sync every now and then during the day. When I had the internet plugged directly into my computer (which functioned as a 3ghz P4 router lololol) XP would never lose the connection and would keep the IP.
Not so with the WRT. Once the router detects the sync loss it'll disconnect and reconnect when the signal is back. Which is very annoying because my IP would keep changing.
Anyone know of a way to get the router to be less sensitive?
I'm just about prepared to fast track a resurrection of a p3 450mhz and run that as a gateway/torrent-box :C

In the early 1940's, Japan learned an important lesson - "let the sleeping giant lie." We may not react swiftly, but when we do it's with unstoppable force. The Army has partners that deal with cyber crime as a matter of course. These include not just various Army IT departments, but also the Department of Justice, the Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

My reading suggests that the Elliptical Trainer provides an equivalent workout to a treadmill, but without the impact and with the benefit of working out the arms. I guess my only dilemma is that I'm used to running and feel like I work harder when I'm doing so... hence a little bias towards the treadmill.
Any thoughts from people that have used both signifcantly?

so yeah, another full night of Mercenaries and i found some really cool stuff about this game that I didnt know before.
I was trying to take down a contract and snuck into the enemy base, I secured the enemy and took down a couple tanks and artillary batteries, I called in an airlift then everything went to hell. 4 helicopters decended on my position out of nowhere, which is crazy because i've never seen that many so close. I had a sniper rifle and a m4...no freaking rocket launcher. I was like NOOO I worked so hard, like seriously it took me close to an hour to get into this base and clear it out....so i take out the sniper rifle and zoom in on the cockpit of the nearest helicopter....*ping* ...I mutter to myself "did i hit it?" then all of a suddden the copter starts verring hard to the left and diving, CRASH! yes...you can snipe the fucking pilots out of the cockpits!!! MUAHAHHA, so yeah...i downed all of those helicopters that way, one conviently landing it right near me without it blowing up. The body was slumped over in the seat, i drug him out and put my captive in and got the hell out of there.
The second cool thing was, theres another map! Its even bigger than the first one (which i would have been fine with having as the only map) and its pretty freaking sweet. The american embassey is gaurded by cobra attack heliocpters...which i REally want to jack. There is a change of outfits for your charcter there, and just a BUNCH of new vehicles i hadnt seen before.
Awesome game. im still shaking my head in amazement at the sniping part...its cool when your playing a game and you think "can i do this" and the developers are like SURE be our guests. I like when people think in detail like that. :)
