Sbox Homemade Console
Anonymous Coward sent in: "I just ran across a very cool homemade emulation console. It emulates multiple machines, plays movies, plays mp3s, and uses Intel's new wireless gamepads to control everything. It's also cased in plexiglass and uses its own menuing software. The best I've seen yet!" His remote has a docking station.
ASP.NET security.
Authenticate your users quickly and easily using ASP.NET and IIS.
Security is a major concern for both application architects and developers. Applications that store sensitive information need to be protected from malicious attacks and from competitors attempting to steal information or intellectual property. When designing a security model for your application, you need to be aware of security requirements from a business perspective and the implications that a chosen security model can have on performance, scalability, and deployment.
Dumbass, you're supposed to pirate the games off the net.
Give your hands a rest and put your voice to work with speech recognition in Office XP.
Speech recognition--one of the revolutionary new features in Microsoft Office XP--makes it possible for users to enter text, control menus, and execute commands simply by speaking into a microphone. A great supplement to traditional mouse and keyboard input, speech recognition will boost productivity and provide a new option for people who have difficulty using a keyboard.
One Example
Robert Hensing's job as a product-support specialist required him to send and receive over 300 e-mail messages each day. But when the constant typing led to a repetitive stress injury so severe that opening jars of baby food for his 11-month-old son or turning the ignition key in his car caused him terrible pain, he feared his job was in jeopardy.
"I was terrified that I'd done irreparable damage, and I was extremely depressed and frustrated," Hensing said. "After all, I'm only 25 years old and don't know what I'd do for a living if I couldn't use my hands to type."
Then Hensing installed Office XP, a sound card, and a headset, and after training the voice-recognition system, he began talking instead of typing when using Office applications.
"I was absolutely floored at how well the voice recognition worked," he said. "It exceeded my expectations, and I can be pretty tough to please."
Today, Hensing uses his voice to write e-mail messages, compose large Microsoft Word documents, and create Microsoft PowerPoint® presentations. He credits Office XP with saving his hands--possibly, his career--from long-term damage.
I just heard some sad news on TV, apparently Slashdot website creator, Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, was rushed to the hospital this afternoon after having his penis sliced off. Authorities say the accident involved Rob's penis, his computer, and an illegal computer device imported from China that was designed to stimulate the penis during cyber-sex. The authorities aren't releasing many details yet as to how it happened, but they suspect that the device malfunctioned which caused his penis to be sliced off. However, there is speculation among the Slashdot community that the Open Source Operating System "Linux" is to blame, for its faulty structure and lack of professional development. There is no word of whether there was any foul-play involved from hackers amongst the Linux community.

I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadors came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don't think it would be a good idea to say, "I swallowed it. So sue me."
I bet one legend that keeps recurring throughout history, in every culture, is the story of Popeye.
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.
Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.
Big deal!! Saddam could do more damage with all those Playstation 2's he took! Damn bastard! :P
