Yeah, Iv'e read everyone's success over there, much to my chagrin. It seems that my projection TV's DVI is somehow incompatible with regular DVI, but I haven't really needed it. All of my equipment uses component video, and hooking a computer to it was more a thing of curiosity than anything.
It would've be nice if it would've have worked; maybe I'll mess again with it someday.
No, you're right. There's varying standards for televison display that are supposed to provide a secure channel between two devices that support it.
The MPAA needs to be dragged into the street and shot.

no but there are some linux hacks out there. but you won't get to use the apple music store which is the best way to buy music for mp3 players.
Corrrection. It's an okay way to buy music for those with a Macintosh, and perhaps an iPod.
Yes, it is free for Non-Profit use, but Hatch's site didn't qualify.
[snip from the wired article] When contacted Thursday, Woolley said the company that maintains the senator's site had e-mailed Milonic to begin the registration process. Woolley said the code added to Hatch's site after the issue came to light met some -- but not all -- of Milonic's licensing requirements.
Heh, a biker guy I once used to know kept a couple big bolts and nuts in his jacket pocket. Really big and heavy ones. Someone get too close? He'd toss one over his shoulder. Heard he punctured a few radiators with that method--before some jackass ran over him at a stoplight (completely unrelated).
The ONE thing that I'm really looking forward to PCI-Express doing is allowing us multiple video cards on the same bus, with the same capabilities.
It's a real crapper that most of the latest generation 3D cards and such just plain don't come in PCI. However it is rightfully so: the bus is old and slow compared to AGPnX. It makes no real sense to put such a slow bus, from a marketing standpoint. There simply isn't enough demand for big multi-headed systems.
Maybe PCI-Express will allow us to make multi-headed systems a bit easier to manage--in hardware and software?
Absolutely... Full is more than High, naturally. It's the difference between a Full glass of water, and a glass that has High water--perhaps more than 50%, less than 75%?
This is idiocy.
Still, aren't low bandwith USB2 devices backwards compatible to USB1 anyway? I'm using an external laptop drive interface that is Real USB2 capable on a USB1 machine. Sure, it's slow. 12 Megabits. It works fine for what I use it for.
Hrm. I once seen a guy driving down I-70 oustide Commerce City, Colorado... Playing a recorder (flute like instrument), and driving with his knee. We were in the left most lane of a three lane highway, and he passed us in the middle lane.
Well, that's the entire point of the new security screening at airports, you see...
It's all a rouse, and the only thing those scanners detect are metal underwear. I've personally tested this myself, and you can, too! On day one, I wore a black leather trench coat, carried an AK-47, a MAC-10, a 12 gauge shotgun, a couple live hand grenades, and --get this-- a box cutter with 5 refill blades into the airport's secure zone. I proceeded to have get onto the flight, have my Kosher meal, have a brief chat with the captain, fool around with a slightly masculine stewardess named Nellie, and land at Dulles Intl. No problem at all!
On day two, I wore nothing but my regular clothes and hand made chain-mail g-string underwear. Man, I tell you, the sirens went off like I just won the 1-Millionth customer award at Big Lots!
You'll be pleased to know that they let me go after a couple days of prodding, poking and Chinese Water Torture.
So, here I am to be the bearer of good news! Don't wear metal underwear, or shift your butt around too often, and you'll be just peachy!/me ducks to avoid the white helicopters (they changed from black to white because of the bad publicity.)
You bet! The next big thing they're working on is a rectal shock probe that will be used to incapacitate any would-be terrorists. Hopefully they get the NASS detector working pretty effectively. Nothing is worse than getting your ass zapped because the guy next to you has some horrible BO, or his fat layers are intruding on your territory.
I had the same thing happen when I used a trackball exclusively. It was one of the first Logitech trackballs around, serial interface and all. Thank god it finally died so my thumb could recover...
Any strenuous and repetitive movement can't be a good thing.
Wow, that is indeed quite far out there! I just tried that penhold myself, and it does feel quite comfortable... Much to my dismay!
That grip seems to move much of the movement to the wrist joint, and dosen't require nearly as much pressure as my regular posture does... Maybe it will help me avoid cramping up!
Thanks for pointing that wacky hold out to me, I'm going to have to practice a bit more before I can say yay or ney, but I think I might really like it!
For instance, my fingernails grow inordinately quickly. To keep them where most people think they should be would mean cutting them every three days. That simply isn't enough time for the edge to wear down to a pleasant texture. Yes, I know, I can file them, but that leaves them feeling grainy and unpleasant.
How interesting! I share the same trait! Perhaps the two are related?:D
I had the same experience in elementary school. Teachers not understanding my writing (which I agree looks pretty sad), marking me down, and the whole bag. Every report card had something along the line of "poor cursive" or "bright child, writes like a doctor", etc.
For whatever reason, I hold a pen or pencil quite differently than most people; always have, always will. Any other method just feels silly. I make a triangle with my thumb, middle and first fingers, then pull them all up towards my palm. sort of like this, but much more radical. Everyone else I know uses the middle and first fingers then pushes on the pen, like the lower ilustration. Iv'e even been called wierd because of this method.
But, hey... It works, and I can scribble pretty darn fast--sometimes even legibly.
Slashdot Mirror
Right. But the people they distributed to were not shareholders of the company. That's the point here.
It's a funny idea, but ultimately it's a silly one. It's the surest cause for the legislators to take away fair use, or change it so it's not so fair.

It's all the fallout that blew over from the test ranges near AREA 51.
Actually, come to think of it, it could be an Indian curse or some such... They've been weird over there far longer than we've known about atoms.

If I own a gun can I kill someone with it?
Absolutely. You sure as hell can. You might even get away with it if you're smart enough.
Otherwise, don't drop the soap.

you are either illiterate or living in a cave (or both).
Or, I could really care less. I'll watch the movies for the sake of watching them, and I'll think what I will.
Yeah, it's really great that they went to that detail, and all. I'm sure it really paid off.
But, why on Earth would you concentrate on all that little stuff, when you make HUUUGE plot deviations for little or no reason?
Authenticity? Laughable.

Wow, that can't be very comfortable at all. My neck would be bent out of shape in a few minutes.
Perhaps they should have duct taped his head to the beam as well?

Yeah, even literally. Some of those plasmas have some damn noisy exhaust fans. If I had to sit near one of those every day, I'd go postal.
Plasma's cool and all, but I don't think the world of it like some people out there.
