Why was this moderated to 3: Insightful? He didn't even read the article or the headline blurb.
The arbitrator found in favor of eReferee.com. That's ICANN's board. Then, a US Federal court reversed the order, saying eReferee.com can't use the trademark "referee" *anywhere* in the address, not even in the path.
It must be a hoax.
The pictures clearly show the Laser warning from a CD-ROM, and obviously a dildo doesn't need a laser.
The tech support page has no question about how you're connecting to the net, which, for a product designed for realtime network communication, is odd. That'd be the first thing I'd check in case of a problem.
How do you clean it? Injecting liquid into an electronic device isn't smart.
The Male version (for women) makes no sense - computer drive bays aren't on the bottom, and plastic doesn't stress well - it'd break off.
What would the female version (for men) be made of? The "lips" are plastic. Sticking anything in there would hurt, I assure you. Plus it's too small. The hole is less than 2 inches across. It can't be any bigger, because it fits into a half-height drive bay. With allowances for the insulation/sanitation system (some kind of rubber I would imagine) and rubber "lips", it's just not big enough for even the average guy.
And, of course, as you said, the units look too clean, and the order form could be written by a monkey with a 4 page HTML primer.
BS.
It was 2.5 weeks, not 1, that it took VA to return the system, and it still had the same problem. No matter what, that's crappy service. If they have to hack RH to get it to run on their hardware, they're using shitty hardware. What's so special about this fileserver, pray tell?
It's obvious they didn't try to figure out what the problem was, since they wouldn't even install Mandrake to find out.
Actually, static ram doesn't retain its data without power. That would be NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM). DRAM simply employs capacitors which are leaky, and hence must be refreshed to maintain integrity. Static RAM needs an applied voltage, but doesn't need to be refreshed.
we had a beowulf cluster of these? We could stay in the HOV lane on I270 all the way to work.

You don't get it. With the new licensing arrangement, you won't *get* a Win2000 cd. Nobody will unless they buy the full retail package. You essentially won't get the license to use Win2000, because your "license" is bonded (as is the software itself) to a specific block of hardware. The license says nothing about using someone else's retail CD with your license/key, or forcing you to use the Restore CD to install the operating system. It's about not allowing you to transfer the license or software to another computer.
