Sandia Builds Micromechanical 'Device Driver'

Solid-state good.
This looks like more solutions to non-problems.
This was taken verbatim from the article.
Informative my ass. This jerk just copied a paragraph from the article so he could get FP -- and then he didn't even claim FP!
Perhaps I should have selected "Technology" rather than "Science". Anyway, I found it at robots.net, another mod_virgule site. Get your robot news there first!

The flame shooting out
. ht ml
People dive into the street
While I play with my meat
My steel melted
and my tower's coming down
The New York skyline
Will never be the same
But the guys who flew those planes
Had fucking amazing aim
I like to watch
There must have been a reason
But I don't understand
Why they hit the Pentagon
Instead of Disneyland
I like to watch
I like to watch
The plane going in
I like to watch
The flame shooting out
It's raining broken glass
While I sit on my ass
My steel melted
and my tower's coming down
I'd almost had enough
Of watching planes explode
Until they showed it in reverse
And I had to shoot my load
I like to watch
Now my hand's all sticky
And I can't find a rag
I guess I'll have to use
The american flag
I like to watch

Since you didn't, you nut-licking shit-muncher.
informative my ass, get rid of this ranking/modding thing, it helps assholes become bigger assholes
> Slackware forever. Honestly, what else would you trust when it absolutely positively has to be stable, secure, and easy
.. ease is a matter of context, and security (akas: kernal/security mailing-list anality) is about as good as it gets. Can you point me towards a non-slackware-biased source that can break it down for me?
Since when did secure go hand in hand with ease?
We stick with FreeBSD

How the FUCK can you post shit like that with your +1 bonus.
I browse at +2, to avoid all the shit, and there comes your crap post!
It's not that hard - tick the box saying No Score +1 Bonus.
"it helps assholes become bigger assholes"
Now I understand what happened to the poor guy in the picture.
Ever since computers were run by human beings, who tend to make mistakes when technology becomes unecessarily complicated.
FreeBSD does indeed have a good reputation for security, but not for the reasons you suggest. Also, the slackware user you responded to probably thinks slack is easier because he's been using it for so long, rather than because of any particularly well-made interface (slackware is very minimalist.)

THE MENTIFEX TUTORIAL
In your intended programming language, first make sure that the language will permit you to write a never-ending program that endlessly performs its own computations while only occasionally or periodically checking for input from a human ser.
The AI must never stop thinking in order to wait for human input.
Now, prepare to implement your chosen theory of mind. You may study the theory of mind associated with Mind.Forth and either accept or reject it, or modify it, or you may have a theory that you have developed yourself or found in the course of your studies. In any event, you must conceptualize the theory of mind thoroughly enough
to implement it in software.

much funnier than the one you replied to. if i had some mod points..
It depends on what you're doing with it. If you want to go a few thousands of miles without chain goo slinging off onto your nice, clean Kilamanjaro Jacket then shaft drive is the way to go.
However, shaft driven bikes (with the exception of some BMWs) exhibit "shaft-jacking" meaning that the back end of the bike will lift up an extra inch or so under heavy acceleration making the suspension less pliant and potentially upsetting a rider who pushing the bike hard.
Belts, (IMHO) just don't cut it. There's a reason why you don't see them on world superbike machines. The only roadracing bikes to use them are Buells. But they're a segregated into a seperate class.
Chains, however, seem to handle the 170HP of a Honda SP2 racebike (2001 SP1 Specs) just fine.
Yes, I'm a geek -- even about cool stuff like motorcycles.
You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake -- but you could be if you got off your ass.
Well, Real Soon Now(tm), you'll be the most employable octegenarian on the block!
