If I'm not mistaken, the new library at our campus (positive science campus at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) also works on Sun Ray machine. I haven't checked it out though.
Actually, it is possible to transform lead into gold with our current understanding of physics and our technology (splitting atoms,...). But it would cost *much* more than the value of the gold that is produced. Maybe they weren't that dumb afterall...
Even Shakespeare's works can be produced by an algorithm. Just feed the zipped text to unzip (or just print every character), et voila. It _is_ an algorithm, and thus, according to your theory meaningless gibberish.
What makes LoTR even more ridiculous is the way the ring was taken from whatever-was-his-name : chopped off by a broken sword. Sheesh, that ring must really be powerful. However, nobody seems to find that a problem.
If you put the images in two separate tabs, and switch between them you can see the continental drift ! If you stand in Soviet Russia at this moment, America is coming to you !!! (although not using the shortest path:)
I bought a gamecube a few months ago because the new
Zelda looked like a great game. It is a very good game indeed , but it is spoiled because the stupid boat and the fish give away almost all secrets (zelda 1 and 3 where so cool). Now I'm "solving" the puzzles on my private oasis, they are pictures from which 1 square is missing and you have to shuffle them until you've got the picture right. There are 14 of them !!!!! If you can do one, you can do them all, but you have to leave the house 13 times and come back. Boooooring. Most parts of the game are very good, but everything is spoiled by tons of stupid dull puzzles.
Wario World is fun.... for 5 minutes. And then you realize that you have already encountered almost all creatures in the entire game. In the next level, they look a bit different, but they behave _exactly_ the same. Hey Nintendo, how many minutes did you guys spend making this game ?
Metroid Prime looked great, everybody else finds it great, but I think it stinks. People who like a gamepad for first person shooters haven't played Q3 (or anything like it) with a keyboard and a mouse simultaneously. The gamepad doesn't work for 1st person shooters, you simply can't aim with it, which is why the "L" button is for locking on a target, but that way is easy. And no, I'm not a bad gamer, I completed zillions of SNES games within 2 days (lucky we could rent these things). And, as usual everything is very dark so you can barely see what's happening.
All of these games cost 60 euro. You 'd think they can make something decent for that price, but even flock of total retards can do better than this crap.
On top of that, they sell the Zelda pack WITHOUT a memory card. Am I supposed to play 3 weeks non-stop ??? Nintendo, I hope you know where you can shove your next money-sucking fsck-up.
They leave out a lot of imho useful options, while there is an "input methods" menu item for every input box, which you can accidently set to "cyrillic" or "amharic" or... and fsck up your input box. Yes, I can correct it, but a newbie can't. And yes, these things _do_ happen. A few weeks ago, my mom saw a secretary in a hospital who accidently lost a toolbar. She had to wait until the next day, when the tech guy was around. These things shouldn't be removable by default. Experienced users, the ones who use it, can turn the option on in a matter of seconds, but a lot of people who don't use it can't turn it off.

I thought I still used Sun's VM as default, so that's why I thought it was just as fast as IBM1.3.1. When I explicitly select Sun1.4.1, the results are indeed _very_ poor.
real 1m54.370s
user 1m53.440s
sys 0m0.040s
For IBM 1.4.0 I get the following
real 1m7.963s
user 1m7.670s
sys 0m0.010s
I'm going to ask the IBM developer why 1.4 is so slow on their newsgroup. I hope they can fix the problem.

Requiring the keyword 'virtual' to be added to almost every method is not verbose ? I think my definition of verbose is out-of-date then.

No spaceship landing dock ??? Move along, nothing to see here.
My thought exactly ;)
Wonder if they got hold of an early copy of Doom 3.
The links I make using konqueror show up as plain old symlinks in a xterm.
What about the noise of the dual opterons ? You're gonna need a heavy amp if you still want to hear your music ;)
Fyi, they won the OSNews 'Best Hobby OS 2003' award.

There is nothing wrong with a high price for good toys, but the following is completely ridiculous (the imperial star destroyer):

Yes, it has a lot of pieces, but the same amount of pieces in buckets would only cost about 120 euro.
Drop the price a bit, and dump all the special elements. If I'm too lazy too build, I'll buy playmobil or other IMHO uninteresting stuff.

Have they included Spaceball One ? Can't see it, the site is /.ed.
Unless you only want to watch them once.

They'll find that most things that hit the slashdot frontpage are now twice as cool as they were before.
