My father got an 386SX 25Mhz with 4MB of RAM when it was THE thing to have. Later on we upgraded to 8MB and then it was time to get the overdrive processor that had it's own slot on the motherboard, I was a happy camper, finaly a floatingpoint co-processor for my povray renderings.
Well we plugged it in and noticed that instead of the 50Mhz we should be getting we were getting 66Mhz. Since it didn't have any active cooling devices and this was a desktop computer we left the hood off to see if it got to warm. After some heavy use of the new processor (I think it was Warcraft 2) I can hear a creaking sound coming from the computer and then the screen goes blank, everything stops. Suddenly *boing* the co-processor flies out of it's socket. I'm sitting in my office chair and from that I'm throwing myself (still sitting in the chair) and I catch the co-processor mid flight, and I emidiately start juggling it since it's hot as h*ll. I get it on to the desk and I let it cool down.
After it's cooled I plug it in again and it works... phew... so I start playing WC2 again and the next time I hear the creaking sound I take my thumb and press it down on to the co-processor, I can hear and feel the burn on my thumb but since then it hasn't jumped out again. Infact I think it's stuck now:)
I'm being picky but... it's 11/9 since 9/11 is confusing and could just as well mean 9th of November as it could 11th of September. International date-time standards has the facts.
You Christian being from Sweden of all countries would know how to write a correct date.
Well, yes, the UK have a DNA database in which it stores every DNA-evidence from any crime. They are also planing on having GPS transmitters in all cars so that you can be charged for driving on certain roads (and also probably for speeding).
All these things are used to control in a way or another the appliance with laws.
When I signed the Xbox-Live agreement I got choices if Microsoft Luxemburg could share my information with third-parties I said no.
When I then put Burnout:Revenge (EA, Criterion games) in the xbox and agreed to their license, the first thing that happened was "Transfering user data from Microsoft to EA" I explicitly said NO to that. So where's my trust in Microsoft? Well it's low.
GAL works in cojunction with GPS and GLONASS (Russia), GPS is not meant to work with other systems (first adopter)
Well here you're right...
- GAL and GPS both are augmented by overlayer system like WAAS and EGNOS - GAL has a rescue service with return link (SAR Beacon), this is actually 'copied' from GLONASS:-) (USSR first adopters)... FYI: works like this: you activate beacon, signal picked up by sat. relayed to ground, emergency services signaled and confirmation to beacon is relayed back.
Here you're wrong, the USSR doesn't exist anymore. It was dissolved in 1991.
Yep you're right, I was thinking about Iraq with the WOMD.
The strange thing is that, I don't think anyone thought entering Afghanistan was a good thing or the thing to do. Heck everyone I know knew they weren't going to find bin Laden and that it was a stupid thing to flatten a country to the ground in trying.
Where did you get that from? I actually live in Europe and all I saw was reports of evidence of WOMD that weren't there. None of us wanted to go there. The French where the only ones who stod up and said, no the evidence isn't there. And the US President has now stated that there wasn't.
on our student network we get monitored all the time (no traffic monitoring just open ports etc).
Suddenly you'll get a mail from admindesk that you are running an old Apache server and you need to patch, failure to comply will lead to disconnection.
The same with unpatched Windows:es Just use your power and disconnect them, don't turn them on until they have come to you to get a CD with the latest patches/viri-removal kits etc.

I usually just start typing and I get a "location bar".

That's so true!
You can't even join the three girls robbing poor sobs who they lure in to their house with promise of sex.
Heck even Fable had sex.
They'd better not mess up fallout!

This is slashdot, do you expect him to RTFA?
So you admit to breaking the agreement with Google?
You're only allowed one account.
Quake 4 does have a linux binary yes?
Well, You can only ship stuff to and address you've already specified, and if you change it. Google have thought about that already.
To bad the DMCA doesn't work in China then... or in Europe or in any other country for that matter...
Sigh... I should have written a comment about that....
Why do as Usama want?
It's a Date, We should write them in a correct way.
But what can you expect from a people who still use an imperial system.

It's a first for Ubuntu.
