Yep, I created an AJAX-like system as a pet-project in my high school web design course (boredom++) back in about 2000. I'm not sure if "AJAX" had really taken off by that point, but for fun, I decided to use JS to load remote pages, particularly of the scripted variety.
Ironically, I got a D- on my final project, which was a self-updating news feed reader (pulled XML news feeds from a few sites), because it "wasn't very user friendly."
"The amount of hypocrisy on this site never ceases to amaze me."
Hey guess what, the people posting comments on this site aren't all the same person. I mean wow, the parent was like "blah blah blah" and then you were like "blah blah blah isn't a good argument!" What hypocrisy! This site just disagreed with itself!!11 Besides, I think I saw that guy just post yesterday that he's never surprised to find hypocrisy on slashdot. I mean, what's up with THAT?
I'm interested in that. I have an integrated card, and I was told the only way I could step up was with a new motherboard. What did you upgrade from/to? I may have to pop mine open to see if I wasn't being fed marketing bull.
I hate to reply to my own post, but I should have mentioned: The rep I talk to indicated that installing the part myself *would not void* my 4 year, complete care, you-can-pee-on-the-keyboard-and-send-us-pictures warranty. Again, if that's not trusting, then I don't know what is.
It's pretty hard to believe, but Dell may be just what you're looking for.
I own an E1505, and they're actually sending me the Bluetooth module that goes inside the laptop, presumably in some socket on the motherboard, to add myself (and I purchased from Dell Home).
At work, they just sent me three new motherboards and heat sinks, plus a bottle of thermal paste, to fix some OHCI issues I was having. They're brilliant, very trusting in the end-user installation department.
I think the standard should be the potentiality of the human experience. In other words, if I have it on my computer, I can listen to it or not. The law shouldn't change based on if I actually chose to listen to a file.
Good! Now we can finally ticket all those damned hipsters with their sports-cars that "have the potential" to break the speed limit! No more waiting for gun-owners to actually murder someone, let's just arrest up now, since they're capable of doing something wrong. Best of all, I say we should lock up victims of letter-bombing attacks, for (unintentional) possession of high explosive materials, no matter how briefly. Sure, maybe they *thought* they were picking up the week's paycheck, but what matters is that they were stupid enough to have a mailbox in the first place. (And why stop there, we should arrest the postmen for being couriers as well! Label them terrorists and let the four horsemen do the work!)
How long, on average, does it take for a new technology (especially battery related) to reach the market, after an announcement like this?
I ask, because I've been reading slashdot for over 4 years, and it seems like there's a healthy number of "revolutionary power supply" breakthroughs, or "batteries that will change your life (for cheap!)," and today, my new laptop still dies after an hour and a half.
I don't mean to be a cynic, but it really feels like these ideas never make it out of the lab.
Now, remind me again how they expect to get any evidence out of a Tor node?
I mean, I understand completely the legal basis for it, and I know that they "just have to check," even though it's clear that there's no important data stored on an anonymous node... But "just borrowing" someone else's equipment can often lead to lots of losses. I'm not sure if this Tor node was a for-profit kind of thing (likely not), but I know that if my webserver goes down for more than 30-40 seconds, my host is losing $$$$$.
I guess a "Well, your computer can't help us, and you need it back to feed your family" is too much to ask for.
I think the idea was that the poster would like to preserve the drives, and thus still qualify for possible returns (warranty or otherwise).
The options are "Physically destroy (or retain ownership of)" and "secure wipe, return for $$$."
Clearly, one is a more attractive solution, especially if the volume of disks in question is particularly large.

No way. DRM is conflicting with fair use of digital content?
*gasp* Who'd have guessed?
Video card upgrades?
I'm interested in that. I have an integrated card, and I was told the only way I could step up was with a new motherboard. What did you upgrade from/to?

Right, very necessary for law enforcement.

Possible bio-fuel based on Spinach... I'm thinking Popeye was onto something.
