And, given that there's going to be vibration, would you rather the heads get knocked off the track that they're currently reading and have to go back and read again, or would you rather that the heads plow into the track that they're reading, on the off chance that you have a relatively large supply of hard drives with all your songs on them?
I run one of these systems myself. As long as you mount the hard drive properly (so that the heads swing on a vertical axis), there's not much problem.
No moving parts, no friction, and dammit, it's just cool!
I would imagine that the 40 mph limit is more a function of the shape and length of the track than the technology itself. Kinda like having a prototype sports car ona go-kart track. It allows you to see if it'll handle decently at low speeds before you invest the money to see if it'll handle decently at 300 mph.
You could prolly rig something up with a regular dvd-rw and an exacto knife.
Really.
Or just mod your gamecube all to hell so that normal sized dvd's fit, so you don't have to worry about carving the dvd symmetrically. If the dvd is double layer, just write blanks to the last half of the first layer. You'd have to play with whatever passes for a FAT table on the DVD filesystem to get everything to work right, but it's definately doable.
Does Brown use a different style course numbering than the rest of the world or is this a freshman level CS class? If so, damn. I'm at the wrong university.
Yes, it happened, but watch The Patriot again. The guy who did it was an American who was fighting for the British. The movie went out of its way to point out that this sort of action would be condemned by the British authorities if they knew about it.
Douglas Adams passed away a little over a year ago now, and as tradition will soon dictate the first Thursday after May 11th every year is International Towel Day. This happens to be this Thursday, so make sure you all show up to the 12:01 am showing of Attack of the Clones with your favorite lightsaber and a towel. Always know where your towel is.
Anyone know if this is coincidence, or if G. Lucas is paying tribute to a strong influence?
I think George Lucas already paid tribute to Adams in The Phantom Plot. The announcer for the podrace bore a striking resemblance to Adams' description of Zaphod Beeblebrox.
No...but one doesn't often see leaves the size and shape of monkeys, though. They're more colored to blend in with the bark of the trees. But you could just as easily use the male peacock, which is designed (evolved?) to be as ostentatious as possible and not blend into anything.
Sleep isn't banked, so even if you've been up for 36 hours, a full (and uninterrupted) 8 hours should get you back on your feet. Of course, if you normally need 16 hours of sleep, that's how long it'll take you to recover.
This isn't about me not wanting to pay for music, it's about me not wanting to be taken advantage of and pay for crap I don't want (please explain why this isn't 'bundling' like the anti-Microsoftites cry and moan about).
I'm not going to say this about the pop shit that the RIAA throws at us, because it's not true. But for artists, the whole album is often a cohesive and coherent work. Case in point: Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile. Yes, some songs on there work as singles, but you don't get half the experience as you would listening to the whole CD track 1 to track 12. You wouldn't buy a novel just for one chapter (unless it's a steamy romance novel). On the other hand, if it's a CD that's more analogous to a collection of short stories, well, I think you can download them both on morpheus.
some of the downloads (*cough* gator *cough*) download a program that is only a few kilobytes. This program trickles down the rest of the program at.1 k/s whenever you're online. Not enough to notice unless you're running tcp/ip over squirrelnet or something, but eventually the spyware will be downloaded. This has the added effect of seperating cause and effect so you can't be sure how you were infected.
Right! Now we have to write up a poorly spelled e-mail detailing how to do this and ask that people on the honor system send us a small percentage of what they win!
Or better yet, we could sell this idea to venture capitalists for a mere $5000! Guaranteed return on investment!
Not that I mean to nitpick, but are you offering the legal advice that I should sue Sony, lose, and then sue Slashdot for damages? If I lose against Slashdot, can I sue you?
Or was your comment meant as incredibly dry humor?

That's more or less a one-time pad. Not a very good one, unless your "pad" image is random noise, but a one-time pad nonetheless.
All I know is for a real good time I'd listen to one of those CD's on "shuffle." Kept me awake while working my way through Jane Eyre my senior year.

Switch the polarity on the motor in your dvd burner, then.

Clocks. As in, legislate advanced technology out of existence.

Just thought that was funny.

No, but I'm sure we could find a way to make reproduction much less intuitive. If we had the source code, that is.

here are some programs to make a valid DIVX file from a download from Kazaa/Morpheus/etc, just to check if the rest of the movie is worth downloading.
Figure out what the file extension is. Copy Kazaa's file to a file with that extension. Double-click. Oooh....
Hell, I tried sex for the first time when I was 19 and I'm still going overboard!
Or larger payments for larger surface area. This could conceivably end anorexia!

No. By and large, we're more the color of the land we live on as viewed from space. Tan or brown. With some exceptions, of course.
What's your source on that? The word "barbarian" comes from the Latin word "barbaros," which means "someone who doesn't speak Latin."
