Did Transmission start out just for the Mac or did it start out cross platform? I can't find anything on their web page saying they started out Mac only, but I thought I heard it somewhere.
What I was told is that it is because Broadcom uses military spec wireless, which they cannot open source their firmware, due to privacy concerns. YMMV, but that is what I was told (can't find a source).
I've heard Ubuntu now has a FailSafe X, which I tried in the HH beta, broke my xorg going for dual monitors (which is way too much of a hassle as it is, xrandr/grandr is a good step, but I had to go into xorg to set my Virtual Desktop size, which is still too much work when you can just plug in a monitor and get a popup window asking what you want to do in Vista).
However, the point is, when I broke it, it gave me a failsafe X configuration, with the monitor reset to a standard resolution and a window asking me what I wanted to do: http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/BulletProofX/
It's not the end-all-be-all, but it's a pretty good start
You can get a PS2 Guitar Hero guitar for like 30 or 40, they have some non-brand name ones that are actually not bad, and one uses pedals for a whammy bar and star power activation, kind of fun. You're getting ripped off if you buy one straight from Harmonix or Red Octane, as they are overpriced.

If he had posted that himself he'd have the trifecta. I've always wanted to do that - post something, post something arguing myself, then post another reply to that... "Mod parent and gp up!!!one11eleven"
Additionally, one of the studies mentioned in Freakonomics was that having LoJack in just some of the cars in a city made cars less likely to get stolen, as you don't know if you are stealing the one with LoJack or not - and car theft rates for the whole city went down. Something like a network effect.
My bank does this with my login info. You can know my username and password, but if you don't type it like I do, you don't get in. What are they? I'll see if I can break it:-).
I remember reading an article saying that "clutch performers" don't really exist - and that the reason we believe they do is because of the same biases that make us cling to our beliefs - taking note of something when it fits your belief and tossing it away when it disagrees.
Some sports analysts have presented evidence that while individual plays and moments may resonate as "clutch" because of their importance, there is no such thing as "clutch ability" or an inherently clutch player. One example of such an argument is presented in the 2006 book Baseball Between the Numbers published by Baseball Prospectus, which compiles evidence that no baseball players are demonstrably consistently clutch over the course of a career, and that the numbers of allegedly clutch players in clutch situations are in fact no different from players reputed to be "chokers."[1]
The rest of the page does well with some very good examples from baseball - including Derek Jeter and Reggie Jackson (both Yankees - maybe the author was a Red Sox fan).
Upon investigating his house, they find that Johnson sleeps regularly with huge piles of cash, which after further investigation prove to have the ability to stave off HIV. Laboratory scientists experiment with a concentrated dose of "about $180,000 shot directly into the bloodstream" on the boys, which cures their AIDS.
I was hoping that movie would be a lot better than it was.
How the hell would you write code that would give you that error anyways? I spent a lot of time thinking about that (and here I am on/., coincidence? I think not).

Really? Well that's not a bad deal at all. I must have been thinking about wireless guitars.

I do what I can - maybe next time I'll be edgy and make a joke about Steve Ballmer throwing a chair. That one isn't done on slashdot too much.
At least when they found the server the password wasn't hard to guess... It was forty-two (42 is too short a password)

I would have had the first post, but do you know how long it takes for a Rube Goldberg machine to type for you?
And YOU definitely haven't used Gmail, which trumps Lotus Notes by a large margin... Oh, wait...
You're 35 and your SUID is that low? Was that how your parents named you - seeing what Slashdot names were available? :-).
Knowing the speed of the slashdot editors - we probably won't get the April Fool's jokes until May.
