I just RMA'd my EVGA GTX 260 yesterday. It didn't even last 3 months. After about 1.5 months it was crashing frequently during gaming. By Sunday it couldn't even run Windows for more than a few minutes. This card and the 8800GTS that I stepped-up from were my first NVidia cards. This experience will make me think about going back to ATI/AMD or possibly even Intel when I buy another card.
Verizon will do it. I've turned text messaging on my phone because I was getting several random messages a day and paying 10c for the privilege. Somewhat strangely, I had to turn it off again when I changed phones.
That's not true. I have a plan with Verizon and I've turned off my ability to receive text messages. I was getting several text messages a day with random stuff in spanglish and paying 10c each for that privilege. I can still get voicemail and missed call alerts.
This has been happening for a while for me on the larger pages with over 500 comments. The javascript on/. takes several seconds to run on my Pentium D 3.2Ghz machine. Sometimes I get a message from Firefox asking me if I want to stop the script. You would think that a tech website would be able to write good javascript.
I was in the CS class of '03 at CMU. In our freshmen class, there were 80 men and 50 women. The previous year there about a dozen women in the class. I heard that for a while, there were more Daves in CS than women. No joke. In the classes I took freshmen year, there were actually a lot of girls in the classes. As I took more and more advanced classes, the percentage of women went down. There were especially few in the OS class. I think a lot of them transferred out of CS. I've heard that the class of '03 was the worst in a long time.
There's a great typo in the article: "Dr Campbell said that unlike silicone-based solar cells, the dye- based cells are still able to operate in low-light conditions, making them ideal for cloudy climates." For some reason, the summary didn't contain the typo. I'm disappointed.
I read it like that too. It looks like Wiid (weed) if you're reading it quickly. Several times I've heard people say Wii and I thought I heard weed, so they were kind of linked in my mind.
I'm surprised that Wired made such an obvious mistake. I noticted the same mistake about the Hyatt collapse while reading the article. This was one of the mistakes featured in an episode of Engineering Disasters on the History Channel.
Area 51 also has a really long runway. You can check it out on Google Maps or wikipedia. If you need a long runway, I'm sure the military wouldn't mind letting you use it.
After seeing your comment, I was surprised that I didn't notice any of those errors when I first read it. I must be getting used to the bad spelling and grammar on SlashDot.
I see your point, but the problem is nobody has been able to predict the average temperatures for a whole year or even 10 years successfully. Sure they can run simulations on a computer and get some numbers, but the numbers that they predict turn out to be no better than what someone could get by guessing. Show me an example of someone who has actually made a CORRECT long-term prediction and then I'll start believing them. It's not worth spending trillions of dollars on a guess.

The name cityville means "city city". I wouldn't play the game on the stupid name alone.

You can already reopen closed tabs in Firefox. Just do ctrl+shift+T.
Anyone else notice that this roundup is from August 28th? I wouldn't exactly call this news.
The gSpot already exists. Google bought JotSpot last year at the same time they bought YouTube.

I'd mod you up if I had the points. I was thinking the same thing.
The next time the radio station does this, they should use deionized water instead. That will make it much safer.

I know that Oracle bought the code for Orion in 2001. I'm not exactly sure when they discontinued the old AS.
The Star Wars Kid really had a Wii controller hidden in his golf ball retriever and was playing an advanced prototype of the LucasArts game.
No, it's half-Cylon.
Sigh.
Speaking of the Statue of Liberty, is it too late to give it back?
It should be: /Fark reference, originally "Not particularly. . ."
Particularly effecitve against an insurgency.

For all of those Ethiopians who are starving to death, all we need to do is give them the obesity virus. Problem solved.
