Man! I just want them to release the 2015 20Ghz Core VII 10 000 pin processor now. And while you're at it, I'll take one of those new Socket X10K with 10 000 pin socket mobos with onboard reality processor and direct sound projection chip , but no onboard video for me please. I'll take an Nvidia OctagonGTS with 8Gb organic RAM and D-DVI and Holocast(R) output adapters. And a floppy drive.
Dude, I just have 2 questions: 1.What are the odds of a truck driving over your watch twice? 2.Was the watch on your arm at the time of said incident?
I have a Nixon 286 watch. Look it up on google.All the nixons are cool. With a strap thick enough to be a belt. It's a pity that I am highly allergic to the dyes that they used to make the strap black. So to avoid a heavy allergic reaction on my skin, I had to cover the entire strap in Black Duct tape. It does not look too bad. The watch itself is brilliant.
Even if we up and lifted an entire continent off the planet, I'm from Africa. Send us please? Please? The entire freakin continent. I'll just be somewhere else at that time...
Makes me think of the game http://www.theonion.com/content/node/43441 on the onion again where you move crates around. The only game that promises to have no influence on kid's behaviour...
I'm sure you smarty-pants Americans can come up with a way to run those yummy Hummers up there on the moon. You make those things run in the desert, in snow, halfway under water and everywhere. It's been yonkyzonks since someone made a decent fuel cell powered car.
Am I the only one who finds the following remark offensive : "I wonder how Linux idealists feel about their cute little OS being deployed in machinery of war?" Uuuhm, excuse me! Cute little OS? Oh, you mean the powerful, stable, scalable, robust, multi-platform capable,lean OS with a cute mascot?
They were in fact rich travellers visiting foreign countries to exploit them with the first spam messages. Imagine this group of people arriving there. "Hi, I am Prince so-and-so from (Whatever Nigeria region was called then). We have 20 000 camels to give to you, but we need 100 ships to bring them. Could you give us the ships so that we can go back and get your free camels.
" Obviously the start of something bigger." WTF man? So, this is the beginning? From now on seafood will start attacking us? Why do they always add something completely useless and stupid to the end? I've noticed this with American Reality TV and Sitcoms as well. I'm surprised that they didn't add a stupid joke as well. Something like " Well, seems like it's not only the Russians who would like to get their hands on our subs!" Fucking stupid people put me in a bad mood on a lovely Saturday morning...
Which one would you rather let pop in your face? A boom or a bubble? Also, one floats gently and makes little kids laugh and reflects pretty colours and then PoP! And you have a wet face for a couple of seconds. The other one goes tick,tick,tick and them with no warning (well,except for the damn ticking) BOOM! And there's smoke and fumes and shit and the schrapnel tears your flesh and pierce your retinas and detroy your face bones.
Well, it seems like everyone here agrees for once... Wired is talking crap and it's not a boom, but another bubble.
Well, I am a white South African. I worked very hard to am where I am today, and as a 30-year old male I am very lucky to have a good job. I had nothing to to with the whole apartheid nonsense and was only 18 when it ended. Ok, Apartheid was bad. Very bad. But luckily it's gone and a thing of the past. It's been over for 12 years now.I have more black friends than white, but I am still considered part of apartheid. The South African government introduced BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) very early after Mandela became president in 1994. Although it was welcomed by a lot of people it slowly became a tool of discrimination against white people throughout the years. Today we have a situation where we have a lot of unskilled, unwilling, uncaring people in good positions and a couple of junior white people doing their work for them! Even our deputy president is currently on charges of corruption and rape! There is more corruption than ever before - even during apartheid - in local government and a lot of people still don't have houses, toilets or even running water. But our president Mr.Mbeki recently got himself a new R700 million jet.(Roughly 110 million USD) Our new deputy president Mlambo-Ncguka just went on an overseas holiday that cost taxpayers R700 000 (or 110 000 USD) that could have been used to build 22 low-cost houses in rural areas.We have cops that get busted for being part of hi-jacking syndicates, other people who got dismissed for corruption but still received salaries for the last 2 years for sitting at home doing nothing etc.. And I can't find another job, let alone decent job, just because my skin color is white. I am not a racist and never was. But everything that Nelson Mandela worked so hard for and the dream of reconciliation that he had is being destroyed by BEE policies (BEE now refers to Black Elite Enrichment).Some poor black people reckon they were better of during apartheid than now.It's sad to see other people at work do half of what you do and then get promoted.Or another guy that steals from the company by submitting false overtime sheets and everybody knows it, but noone can say/do anything about it because if you do then you will get branded a racist. I could get shot and robbed of my car and cellphone on my way to work just because I'm white. So, if that is the general feeling between white and black in South Africa, just imagine what it must be like in the workplace. Most job ads (more than 90% I would say..)clearly state "AA only" which means Affirmative Action or directly translated "Don't even think about applying if you are white". It also means that they have to employ a black person in that position even if he/she can't do the job and regardless if there are a lot of white people with a passion for that position.A (black) friend recently told me: "You know , there is no such thing as reverse racism. Racism is racism no matter what side you are on."
Yay! I finally get to rant about the love of my life. I change cars once a year and always prefered big , luxury saloons. In 2004 however, I decided to buy myself a little black sportcar for my birthday. An MG TF roadster. What a car! It was a very fun car , but difficult to drive. The gearbox was notchy, the clutch took way too early, the rear-end broke away too easily and it felt very unsafe with the ragtop only an inch from your head.I was almost lying down in my seat and thanks to its low mass it had loads of grunt and because it was mid-engined , a beauty to drive.But that's where the fun is!Because it was so difficult to drive it taught me skill and rewarded me richly when I drove it properly. I almost killed myself a couple of times with that car. I had dropped suspension and on a dry road the grip was unbelievable. That's where the problem comes in! It gave you no warning whatsoever. You could push it all to way to its limits around a corner and then when you finally crossed that fine line it would just let go! No smoking tyres or hopping around. All or nothing! On a wet road the little sportscar was a deathtrap. You could go around a corner at 5Mph and still let the tail hang out. I also once braked too hard while driving fast.No ABS shudder or anything. All 4 wheels locked up and I just kept going. Later I thought about it and realized that the ABS would have helped only if some of the wheels locked up. I was still doing about 40 Mph and the wheels were standing still, so the ABS thought that we must have made a miraculous instant stop and all was good. Well, now I'm back to a normal(well, huge!) luxury sedan with all the bells and whistles. Although I feel very safe now, I really miss the thrill and excitement that a car like that can give you. It's part of the experience.
I bought my girlfriend an iPod shuffle a little while ago. I was impressed with the sound quality, but wanted something better for myself. Portability is the most important factor for me and I got something almost similiar in size, but with a nice screen, fm radio etc for a little bit more. Only after comparing the two did I realize exactly how good the shuffle really was! it's now clear to see what you pay for in an apple. My little MP3 player is not bad, but sucks compared to the tiny little shuffle. and it just does not look as cool.
1. So, does that mean you can only run windows on it? 2. I can't see the 16Mb Buffer through the window. 3. All I see on my harddrive is a blue screen. 4. If this was the 80's, would you park the drive with cntrl-alt-del? 5. I will have to mod it anyway to put the blue LED in.
And on a serious note. Screw the see-through window.I'm drooling about the specs of the drive...
Oh, This is very clever. Osama Bin Laden is looking for a new way to get back at the US. But, they lack the brainpower or criminal instinct to think up clever evil ideas. So, what do they do? They post a story like this on Slashdot and save all the comments. Then they go through all of them and choose the most dangerous ones and implement them. Wham!
My. Aren't we a ray of sunshine this morning... Anyway, Does anyone know what kind of throughput we're talking about here? And will it really be cheaper or better than say using fibre and then for the "last mile" normal 3G or 4G mobile spectrums?
Sorry to hear, but if your SO is living in the US, and you live in EU, then she is not only your man. She's probably living with the guy she cheats on with the plumber and seeing the dude from the garage on the side. She also likes taking it up the back-alley. I learned all about American women from my porn collection. They're also all a bit on the chubby side.

Oh, and ask someone responsible to drive you.
