Thanks, Usagi.... that is similar to what I've been doing. Close letters should coincide in a pot more frequently than distant letters. The optimal ordering is computationally difficult.

Okay so I am pretty sure that any spanish speakers we had on this board are long gone but this phrase is bothering me:

Menos amarillo, más acido.

It is being used in reference to Family Guy, specifically the scene where Peter brought Chris a frog but the frog is dead and it takes Peter _forever_ to get the frog tossed out the window because he is using the shoe box and not his hands. There is a scale in the corner that is going from yellow to green (banana to lime).

Any clue?

less yellow, more acid.

It has to mean something more than that colloquially.

Sí, entiendé eso parte pero la tradición no es literalmente. Más acido es un poco interesante pero amarillo? No lo sé.

Y a mi trabajo, siempre olvido preguntar mis amigos de Mexico. Debo escribirlo...

edit: I have no idea how that will come out in Babelfish. I am trying to write in spanish without translating whole phrases (individual words are okay though I only looked up literally) and it may not be completely correct.

Bit of a noob question here, but can you use VM-ware to do cross-compiling?

For example, running linux, can I run windows in VMWare and compile windows programs inside it?

Thanks!

We're working with these robots in school that use a modified linux distro as OS. To compile programs for them you need a cross-compilation script only available in linux. Now I like linux, so this isn't a problem. But I just wrote a wiki entry saying that if people didn't like linux, they could write the program in windows and then use VMWare to run the cross-compilation program.

And then I wondered, can they?

I've realised since then that the answer must be yes, since the cross-compilation tool compiles for a different processor / distro anyway so it shouldn't rely on anything local. But the much more interesting question for me was whether you could compile at all on a simulated processor and expect it to run on the real thing.

It's really strange how long I've been programming without having a clue about how the lower level bits work. That's what scripting languages and Java will do for you

Does anyone here have experience running linux (or any other OS) on a solid state drive?
Will drivers support it? Will it last me at least 4 years? Would you recommend it to a noob?

I need to find a simple video editor for my digital camera movies... I took video of my friend's wedding yesterday and stupidly filmed their vows vertical.. so I need something that will rotate it for me.. also want to cut off about 30 seconds from the end of another video that I forgot I was still rolling. Any suggestions on something free/cheap?
