Unless you work for the government in a high ranking office (as in you were either elected or appointed), or have a LOT of money, you can be screwed at any time.
Even that isn't enough to protect you. Former Vice President Dan Quayle was stopped at airport security for the more thorough check.
I can't find it now, it was a Slate article, the author recounting his experience being spot checked at the airport. He looked over and saw another passenger (Dan Quayle) being spot checked and piped up "only in America Mr. Vice President".
I can't find much information on their webpage, but Gateway did produce pretty much exactly what you are talking about. Even though its not listed on their page, it is still sold through their stores, now upgraded to support all kinds of input/outputs, and better specs.
I've heard some dumb things in my day (such as college students getting drunk only to bounce on their beds and fall out the window) but this is beyond my comprehension.
If you are refering to the girl at USC about a year and a half ago who fell out the window and got her butt pierced on the security bars of the window below...I know her personally, she is a very good friend of mine. She was not drunk, had not even been drinking. She was helping put up a poster, and slipped. It had nothing to do w/ stupidity.
They haven't built a gaming supercomputer...they have only created a linux server farm for hosting gaming servers. Just like Verio hosting web sites, but for game servers instead.
a guy at my work did that with filenames regarding projects (not coding)...the day he was out of the office and the boss was looking over a coworker's shoulder as they desperately pulled the stuff they needed....well...it wasn't a good day for him
He is also considering bequeathing the dome to SIU in his will.
He believes the university should buy the building or pay for its renovation.
If he wants the university to buy it from him, why did he say he might give it to them in his will? Now all they have to do is wait for him to croak (and he looks fairly elderly from the picture)
The article says that they have made BNETD virtually indistinguishable from the real battlenet through reverse engineering. What I wanna know is, what function did they assign to the gem in the Diablo 2 client?
guess what, the words hub, network, and array were around long before computers, and thats the definition they're using here, because thats the definition the geek terms are based on.
Actually, most glass panes from the period (especially when dealing with 3'x4' sheets) was produced by floating the molten glass on a bed of mercury, hence why it is called "float glass"
Actually, old window panes DO get fatter at the bottom as the glass "slumps". I am living in a 106 year old victorian house with large pane windows, many of which are original. The windows have slumped over the years and are fatter at the base, with noticeable distortion in that region.
Furthermore, several of the windows have up to 1 inch gaps between the top of the pane and the window frame. Pray tell how that would happen if the glass was not slowly drooping.
There are people who are sheepish enough to believe this, and there are those that are like this. I am a Christain (a fairly liberal one now) and I have been through many Christain schools and met many people shortsighted enough to spout this kind of stuff. I even once had a Mormon kid condem me for eating a Brach's Pina Colada flavored hard candy, claiming there was alcohol in it! I've had a science teacher flat out tell me that Louis Pasteaur's experiments (resulting in the pasteurization process) is proof that evolution is false, and a world history teacher say that the Pope is the Antichrist and worships Satan. And this was in urban Southern California, not even the "religous right" controlled midwest.
The point is, there are people out there who strongly believe this stuff. And they aren't going to use Biblical quotes if their aren't any to support it. There's nothing in the Bible about BSD, or evolution (although you can see the current model of the formation of the universe in the creation story, as well as the chronological order of life forms appearing on the earth).
While this may be a hoax/satire....there are people out there like this guy. Most of them probably haven't heard enough computer jargon though to ramble on about this stuff. But believe me, they're out there.
1%, ok, i'll grant him that...efficiency of solar cells being what they are..... of course that means completely covering the surface of the moon, and then figuring out a way to transport the energy back to the Earth....
2 Years ago I took apart my case, took it outside and spraypainted it black. I did the same with the drive bezels and the keyboard (but not the keys). There was a grey panel for the switches, leds, fan, etc. that was grey. I painted it a nice, slightly orange, yellow, the only other color I had at the time. After reassembling it, and replacing the Tux doll sitting on top, I was astonished at how well the colors/proportions/locations matched. I had inadvertantly created a computer that looked like Tux. I wish I had taken pictures. Unfortuneately, that computer is dead, replaced by a shiny heavy duty brushed aluminum vault from coolermaster. Various parts of "Tux" were scavenged to put a computer inside an aluminum briefcase. Oh well.
Try editing uncompressed HDTV, I have a friend that is trying to put togethor an off the shelf system for NASA that is built for real-time uncompressed HDTV editing. Considering 30 seconds of uncompressed 640x480 sucks up a gig and a half, 1920x1080 is gonna use somewhere on the order of 20GB per minute, or ~1.2 TB per hour (pardon my lousy math). What? I can only store 10 hours of footage at a time for my 1 hour documentary? What? I can't get more storage on the drive because people are complaining it's too big as it is?
Video editing CAN and WILL take up 120TB in the near future. I myself only do an extremely small amount of video editing on 3D animations for clients, and I am amazed at how fast it sucks up hard drive space. Combine that with huge 3D files and images that are a couple hundred megs a pop, and my 60GB drive disappears fast. Personally, I am amazed you can contain your video editing within 10GB. I need more than that just for project data storage (and I don't have any MP3s). You must do a lot of burning or other media storage.
Not true! The Samsun I300 is available for the Sprint PCS network, is color, and dual band. What I'd like to see is a comparison between it and the Treo.
Slashdot Mirror
oh yeah...because the bloated PDF API used in Aqua is known as being a fast display method. Quit trolling
someone did. Its called The Brain

Here's a picture of it.
It even has/had a mouse with what you are describing, and a 36" VGA monitor. Cool stuff.

Whoopdeedoo.....
Someone did do this for abortion doctors. Many were harassed, a couple were killed.
The guy who set up the list on his web page went down for manslaughter and accomplice to murder.
Its not a matter of being shut down, anyone associated with this list would be prosecuted.
He starred in the episode where a fossilized angel skeleton is found.
a guy at my work did that with filenames regarding projects (not coding)...the day he was out of the office and the boss was looking over a coworker's shoulder as they desperately pulled the stuff they needed....well...it wasn't a good day for him

He believes the university should buy the building or pay for its renovation.

When he wins this case, especially with the publicity, its gonna do a hell of a lot more for his career than his degree will.

you want to see photographs of the gaps? They do exist.

those planes were filmed quite a bit before 9/11....in fact, fox delayed release of 24 because of 9/11 and even considered dropping it entirely
Yep, my university bought a bunch of new G4s for one of the labs.....and set them on the tabletop.....speakers are all toast

actually, the Mr. Fusion only powered the flux capacitor....reaching 88mph still relied on running the engine powered by ordinary gasoline.
:D
Of course, the 22 GigaWatts of power required by the flux capacitor could go a long long long way in powering electric vehicles
This is definately going to be the first time a Commodore 64 has been /.ed, and will probably set the record for how long it takes to get /.ed.
Of course, rebooting a C64 is pretty fast.
