ETAs are so helpful. When this first started yesterday morning, I assumed maybe a couple of hours of downtime - AT MOST. Now we're nearly 30 hours in, with no ETA, and my builds for alternative systems started hours behind. Learning experience for me I guess.
alright alright. I confess too. I own (and operate on a regular basis) an EZ bake oven. My sister got it for me as a bit of a gag gift for christmas - but having it in a dorm room is mighty helpful. Multiple cakes have been baked in the oven and I've even documented the process (w/ pictures). The ez bake is girly pink, but it makes one heck of a 2 bite cake. Though the funny thing is - with the prep-work and so forth the total amount of time to make a two bite cake is probably 25 minutes....and to buy a cake mix (this was walmart's price) was 5 dollars. This was enough to make two cakes. However - those two cakes are smaller than cupcakes! I could buy a regular full size cake mix and make a cake about 30 times the size with about half the cost and comparable time. This frustrated me, though the novelty of baking someone a birthday cake in my dorm room might have made up for it.
Also - if anyone wants to make an ez bake cake w/o buying the oven, a reading light with a 100 watt bulb stuck in a drawer works out just as well.
I'm reminded of the fellow that came up with star wars asciimation....who also built a jet powered beer cooling device. The intro speaks for itself: "What follows is my story about a shed, a warm beer and a home made jet engine."
When I see the headline: "Nonlinear Neural Nets Smooth Wi-Fi Packets" and I only understand the words nets, smooth and packets...and none of them in relation to each other... - I have to be a little concerned that my geekiness is dwindling...

I'm sure all linux sysadmins would love the "Root-Vue Farm."
The "Root-Vue Farm" is a good example -- envision something that looks like an ant farm, but instead of bugs and sand, it's filled with soil and half-grown vegetables.
The only downside...now root is viewable by anyone! And the ID labels make it even clearer!
I can debunk it right now - Steve Jobs owes me thousands of dollars for the mental anguish I've experienced when trying to use the imac's original "hockey puck" mouse.

Contrary to what the article and link said, I don't think you can buy it (new) on bn.com. However, it is available here at amazon.com for 20.90 new or 9.00 used. Just fyi...
I'm not saying the guy is wrong...I just never heard of such a thing before. I guess that shows how little I know of India's political system....I found his statement fascinating and I'm looking up some information on it right now. I think it's really interesting.
BTW, India is probably the only place in the world where there is a democratically elected communist state govt.
I always thought the two things were mutually exclusive...I had no idea it was possible. I'm gonna have to look this up online...that's really interesting.
I take it a step further - ignore the game release dates altogether and buy them after they've been out for a month - the previously priced 50$ video game is now $10.
maybe hacking corporate computers to manipulate stock prices for the benefit of yourself. I mean, come on..there's gotta be some hackers out there that have gotten filthy rich from what they did but they knew well enough to keep their mouths shut about it.
I'm not so sure about the validity of the list. Wouldn't the best hackers be the ones that pulled off a great hack that went unnoticed and the hacker didn't get caught? Just a thought...
The BSF is intended to be used online via the worldwide web (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/basics). There are interactive quizzes to let you check your own progress; no records are kept. No academic credit is offered for completion.
Bummer...just when I thought I could get academic credit for cruising the web...
I've always wondered why people go to so much trouble to uncap their cable modems and stuff. I used dialup for years and NEVER had to worry about messing with my modem to uncap it. My connection was burstable and had absolutely no cap!
The flashy colors make power supplies better - period.
The purpose of a power supply is not to be quiet - if that was the purpose I'd just make one that didn't work - the purpose is to provide electricity to the components in a computer. Duh.
After the last couple weeks of living in constant cold and snow here in the northeast I think I have a little insight on the Opportunity issue - I'd randomly turn on the heat if I was on mars too! It's cold!
Since most people haven't seen most of the movies on the list, I made a handy-dandy cheat sheet w/ imdb links and so forth. So you can at least sound knowledgable at the office tomorrow when discussing "The Barbarian Invasions" or "Capturing the Friedmans."

You can't forget FreshMeat.net
Come on...every slashdotter should know that site.
So not only am I more manly for using a straight razor...I'm also less likely to have brain rot!
Now if I could just find some more tissues before pass out from bloodloss....

It will also only work if you have 5 seconds left.

if you're simply hacking for recognition, then you should automatically be banned from the list.

How are the illuminati involved in this again?
last time it was mentioned, the beer and cocktail galleries weren't posted. This isn't about the silicon artwork nearly as much as magnified beer.
