Sure you will find a lot of bandwidth that is really cheap. However, those pipes may be between Gunnison, CO and Boulder. Meanwhile the pipes moving from big metro area to big metro area are filling up/full while pushing up prices.
Presumably before the defendent was allowed to do anything with that laptop the judge must have admitted it as evidence.
If an item is admitted as evidence, the court has to believe that it is accurate. It is assumed that it is because it is approved by the judge (of truth).
The only way the officer could argue that Google Maps is crap enough to disprove the defendent's case is to suggest that it not be included as evidence.
Does a police officer that responds to traffic accidents know anything about how to do that?
Sounds like everything worked out perfectly for both you and society. Society didn't have to pay the officer to show up while he could be saving the world from criminals. The court's time was not wasted with a case that has no merit.
You disregard the most fabulous aspect of being outside: being seen. Surely if everyone were seen slashdotting outside there would be so much more of the ladies.
Sure this sucks for your jobs? And why is it that it sucks?
You have to manipulate machines to accomodate human's daytime-loving nature. In fact, you should love situations like this: the only reason that you have a job is to make machines accomodate human psychology.
Those potential sacrifices, waking up an hour later or going to bed an hour earlier are more than made up by the availability of sun later in the day to allow traditional summertime activities.
So for the slashdot folks: using computers outside; reading about computers outside; watching DVDs outside..etc.
How exactly do you become obsolete from coding? As long as you keep yourself competant and you enjoy what you're doing, keep on doing it.
Luckily, by the time you get 'burned out,' you'll probably become a project manager or some position in management, or possibly just become a yuppy in marketing (yes, cringe).
Anyway, there's always something else to do even if you do become 'obsolete.' Bottom line, just keep current and make sure you have plenty of options opened. Yes, I know it's scary thinking about not jumping up every morning not wanting to code, but just don't worry about it until the time comes.
did arpa ever actuall destroy part of their network just to test it out (or just to let the researchers play with explosives) or were they sure that the charts and theories would hold?
In case you didn't hear, the legendary jungle dubbed the Amazon (and the river to accompny it) have been sued over trademark disputs by Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com (I'm expecting to get sued after mentioning these people, shoulda gone anon cow. but that would limit me from gaining karma for this overly funny comment). The Amazon has responded by closing down it's operations of selling the rights of itself to movie production companies and farmers.
Fortunetly, VA Linux purchased most of Michigan and turned it into tropical jungle.

I didn't forget anything. The title of this comment is 'Society's POV'...

If you're not interested in this expert's opion, the radio personalities of NPR's Cartalk have ideas of their own.

In the letter from Comcast, there is no mention of offering an apology.
Norton AV's flagging of dnetc is fully in error. The distributed.net staff is aware of the situation and is working with Norton to resove the issue.
Robotwars is a rigged game show for children, while battlebots is a full-fledged competition with rules and all that other organizational stuff.

Doesn't this sound a bit like Horizon Corp and Shiva in 'Rainbow Six' (the book)?
Also in london, on Tooly Street, there is Cynthia's Cyberbar which has robotic drink servers.
what about when the sucker core dumps when it runs netscape because it wants to look at some hard-core schematics?
So can this fella, the menu consists of pancakes and hamburgers.
And more importantly, is it going to have apache and a small pipe so we can slashdot it?
shall I direct everyone towards english.au?
someone's trying to get more moderator points...
I'd go with the 'Whiter-Teeth Grown Here Side of the Moon' :)
I wasn't thinking they went for their facility, I was talking more along the lines of AT&T's...that'd be a rush
