Smallest RC Cars?
fredhsu writes: "My brother-in-law bought two micro RC cars in Japan for me. They are both smaller than a matchbox. DigiQ from Takara is infrared-controlled, has two independent rear wheels powered by two tiny motors, and comes with a pistol-style analog controller. Bit Char-G from Tomy (Tomica) is radio-controlled, single-motor rear wheel drive, front wheel steering, and comes with an awkward controller with forward/backward + left/right switches. You really need to see the video clips to appreciate how small and maneuverable these cars are. I personally like DigiQ more, because of its powerful motors and analog controls. On the other hand, Bit Char-G has an extensive line of hop-ups and accessories. DigiQ sells for $50-$80 and Bit Char-G for $30-$50."

It is with great sadness that I have to report that writer Stephen King has decided to retire from writing. The 54 year old King of fright thinks he should leave while he is on top, rather than wait until no one wants his work.......
And further more, all of you can suck my ass!
I could have gotten first post. As it is, I must settle for this top 10 post. Oh well, I should be in bed anyway.
I still prefer FreeBSD.
I use it for 5 years now and i really like the sysinstall. The latest version is very cool, and its stable.
FreeBSD is so much better than windows. I don't understand why some people still use windows...

Put 4 medium-sized noisettes on a tray, pour a pint of pommes over them and cook in oven for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
It's the bloody frogs fault !
try pommes peepee.
take a tray of pommes, and piss all over them. follow with a tray of hot grits poured into your lap and a drink of warm liquid shit.

Imagine your cat's and dog's reaction to this cute little gadget and the consequences once it is being ingested. You wonder what an army of these could do? They could all be eaten by cats and then play with these furry balls in its stomach before they kill em! *d'oh*

Programmers have found a vulnerability in Linux (news - web sites) that could allow protective firewall software to grant malicious computer users access to protected networks.
The flaw, which affects versions 2.4.14 through 2.4.18-pre9 of the Linux kernel, is in a component of the Netfilter firewall software. The component is involved when two computer users chat directly with each other using the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) system.
Information sent across the Internet is broken up into tiny "packets," each with "from" and "to" addresses, indicating who's sent the information and where it's intended to go. So-called firewall software transmits or screens out these packets based on the address of the sender.
Netfilter, among the new aspects of the 2.4 version of the Linux kernel, is software that runs within the kernel to filter out unwanted packets. But its IRC helper component configures firewall settings too broadly, potentially allowing communication from IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that should be blocked.
Programmers working on the Netfilter firewall software project reported the problem Monday.
Versions 7.1 and 7.2 of leading Linux seller Red Hat's product are vulnerable. The Durham, N.C.-based company issued a patch Thursday that corrects the problem. The flawed software isn't installed by default on the Red Hat versions, the company said, but some users may have added it.
Security is a nagging concern for the computer industry, which must juggle new features with the risk that they open up new problems. While the firewall problem the Netfilter programmers discovered is limited to a few versions of Linux, a more serious problem emerged earlier this month affecting numerous operating systems using standard network management software.
Cmdrtaco was found dead this morning with a DigiQ jammed up his has. Apparently he had been masterbating while driving the minature car around his rectum. At this time it is unclear how he perished but authorities are speculating auto-erotic asphyxiation.
who cares?
life at the karma kap is dull
I've earned my right to be as offtopic, flamebaiting and trollish as I like!
I'd prefer to be able to keep racking up the points but seeing a post scored 5 is disappointing when you were at 50 when you posted it.
There are places where the networks are not touching,and there are places where they are-Boeing's Lori Gunter
quit slashdot

Overrated my ass. There is no "x degrees Kelvin", just "x Kelvin".
Why the fsck was this modded down? It's a ligitimate question, and the most sensible/useful I've read on this thread so far? Do the modders even read posts any more, or are they too far up their own arses?
Offtopic is certainly preferable over overrated, but shouldn't you kill the rest of the thread before nuking the informative comments?
