It's not like the gyroscopic action of a motorcycle wheel keeping you upright. If that were the case, segway would have to be incredibly big, heavy, and power consuming.
Well, IIAMR (Motorcycle Rider), and yes, the gyroscopic action of the rotating components of the engine along with the gyroscopic action of the wheels do have an effect. Ask any motorcycle instructor.
6.x does not support power management. Try to suspend that PC. You'll get an error saying the keyboard driver (it's actually PGP's hook into the keyboard driver that's the culprit) is preventing the machine from entering standby.
If you didn't pick up on the sarcasm, then I either didn't soak it with enough, or you're the one who bought it -- wait for it -- hook, line, and sinker.:)
In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here.
Come on. Don't just paste the ad copy into the story. Make it sound interesting.
Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled.
Okay, that's bullshit. Slashdot is NOT Slashdot without ACs and the ability to post anonymously. Lots of good information has been posted anonymously, including people posting information we find really interesting that could cost them their job.
If you are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.
Slashdot has now completely sold out. Period.
No ACs, and advertisements mixed in with real articles. Without even so much as an "Advertisement" icon (or, therefore, a way to filter them out).
Rusty, I'm coming back. Sorry for ever doubting you.
Yes, but it uses GPS. So if the watch (and therefore the person it's clamped onto) were in a house, it would not work, unless perhaps they were right next to a window.
It does not matter if I posted those aliases here.
Not any more.
The whole point of site-specific aliases is that ONLY THAT SITE SHOULD HAVE THAT ALIAS -- so if you start getting spam to your cdnow.com@ alias, you'll know it was CDNow that sold your address to spammers.
So, when you post your cdnow.com@ alias to Slashdot, if you get spam to it, you won't know if it was CDNow or some other spammer that harvested from Slashdot, hence b0rking most of the point behind such a scheme.
Secondly, I find the figure of $1 per spam to be kind of ludicrous. It takes me about 5 seconds to recognize a piece of mail is spam and delete it. 5 seconds of my time isn't worth $1.
Oh boy. Here we go! [breaks out calculator]
5 x 1400 = 7000 / 60 = 116.67 = just under TWO HOURS of your time. Is this worth $1? Or more, perhaps?
And the 10k it took the mail server to store the message and fraction of a penny in bandwidth aren't worth a dollar either.
10 x 1400 = 14000 / 1024 = 13.67MB.
And that's just for you.
Assuming the ISP has 10,000 customers, that's almost 375 MB (13.67 x 10000 / 365) the ISP has to reserve on their mail server JUST FOR SPAM, PER DAY.
Obviously, that assumes every user checks their mail once per day, no more, no less, and everyone gets 1,400 spam/year at 10k each. Since you made the same assumptions, I did as well to keep the numbers the same.
So, is 375MB per day per 10k users worth $1? Or more, perhaps?
Malda needs to learn to read.
We know Rob's English isn't the best. What you've done is handily demonstrate that apparently your math isn't, either...
I also have one for cdnow.com@offwhite.net, cnn.com@offwhite.net, etc. When I sign up for a newsletter or post comments I will know where the incoming spam originated.
What you've just done is totally b0rk your scheme.
Spammers are obviously scraping this site.
And you know about it.
Brilliant.
Now, when you get spam to your CDNow or CNN aliases, you won't know where they really came from.

This one should work better.

Yes, you can make a 128 bitrate Mp3 sound awesome.. but only with the latest Lame encoder.
But wouldn't it then sound lame?
(Sorry.)
and 22/7 has nothing to do with pi
22/7 is an approximation of pi.
This amount of spin can only be generated by a buttered cat drive, thereby proving the existence of this highly secretive technology!
While we're on the topic, I might as well point out what I stumbled across over at fazed.net.
Why not have the software timebombed with a simple-to-use bypass mechanism: one single line in the program's config file...

Hmm. Okay, maybe I can handle this.
Our first Slashvertisement is for our sister site, ThinkGeek , stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography to 42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out their current exciting specials!.

I can think of many much more personal senses of the word, although I really don't want to.
Surely this isn't the most personal sense of the word...
If I find an offender, I know what site was the cause.
Not if you also post that alias, totally unobfuscated, to Slashdot.
*THAT* was my point.
As I said: Idiot...
I am already blocking them so the point is moot.
I wonder why! LOL!

Why on earth would include (what appears to be) a version number in a Slashdot nickname?
