hope this attempt fails. The last I need are millions of blue dots ruining my pr0n. Seriously, think of the models that will be losing work because their assets are off limits.
I can't stand to think of it, but my wrist could use a break.
Well, from what I understand, one thing makes a mainframe a mainframe is that it's not commodity boxes clustered together. It will carry a larger price tag, but should come with the increased reliability and support over the commodity boxes.
It's similar to the difference between military grade and consumer grade equipment. For example, a GPS receiver you purchase that doesn't crashes on the trip to grandma is no big deal. A Navy SEAL squad that has a GPS receiver crash IS a big deal.
One of the things about the "Beowulf cluster" of commodity boxes is that they are cheap, giving some aspects of high-end computing power without the cost. This is for those garage-based start-ups that need some serious power but if a hard-disk drops out or a LAN connection goes dead it's not a huge deal.
Your mainframe setup is for large scale businesses, universities, nuclear research, all that fun kind of stuff. If your job is riding on it, get a mainframe.
Actually, the Earth has yet to rotate around the Sun even once in the past oh, forever. It has revolved around the Sun approximately once every 365.25 days. It has rotated around an axis once every 24 hours.
As anyone that watches B-grade action / adventure / martial-arts / etc. style movies can tell you, evil can't shoot for a damn.
As we know, Cheney seems to be quite the ferocious killer with his 'shotty' at his side. So, Cheney can't be pure evil. I do believe, however, that Cheney still consumes one live baby every morning to replenish his fuel reserves.
Well, if you can't get goats to move in an orderly fashion, how can you be trusted with high energy quantum particles?! Seriously, let's use some common sense people...
Uhm, except those people that CARE about their family and HAVE big savings accounts for an early retirement are NOT the ones to which I was referring. I was referring to the people that sit on their fat lazy ass all day and expect government hand-outs and the welfare of others to get them through the day.
The solution to 99.99% of the problems we face today is education. But, as they say, "Ignorance is bliss." Some people today simply DO NOT CARE to put forth the effor to make any kind of change in their life. So long as the welfare check comes every month, and American Gladiators is on 24/7 re-runs, they're happy. What is worse, is this "So, what?" attitude we see in adults is being passed onto their kids. I teach middle-school, and sometimes I just want to scream, "WAKE THE FUCK UP AND OPEN YOUR GODDAMN EYES!" at the top of my lungs.
You're missing the point though. In most places outside the U.S. and the handful of other industrial nations, any political forum at all would be welcomed. We have the luxury of instantaneous access to these forums. It's time we start to use them and get the right people elected into power.
It is a proven fact that the rare Guatemalan Cow of Paradise is impervious to electromagnetic radiation. Also, it has Magic Lungs +2 so oxygen is uneccessary. Therefore a space suit is uneccessary.
(As an aside, I'm a n00b science teacher, and one thing that saddens me is that the children of today are not exposed to The Far Side.)
Perhaps/. needs to implement a "DUPE" link that's accessible to subscribers. Have it function like Digg, totaling the number of DUPE clicks each article receives.
Then, allow subscribers to set a DUPE filter limit. Anything over that limit is not displayed on the page.
WTF kind of tard-mod made this parent post a troll? It's actually one of the most non-trolling posts I've read on/. in a while. While they may not have all of their information and facts correct, they at least made a coherent argument and didn't use "t3h sux0r" or "wtf" in their post.

As a matter of fact, I HAVE played such a game. Not a 1st person, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
Besides, how can you not like a game featured in a Jean Claude VanDamme movie?
This maybe off-topic, but if you haven't tried the demo of Heroes 5, go get it and give it a try. The last I played was a little bit of Heroes 3 (I think it was 3) and the new graphics are awesome. The combat system is still cool, and the new 3/4 isometric viewpoint is nifty. The camera is a little finicky, but once you get used to it it's not bad.

How did this score a 0, Insightful?
Seriously...

Well, perhaps you can look it as a solution to the annoyances, which would fit with the desktop configuration guide you suggest.

I am just wondering how many poor third-world children have cars but no laptop to begin with... ;)
You ran out of hard disk space?
True, but it would be quite easy and cheap to setup a user-informed-of bittorrent client to help distribute the data.
I'm wondering, does that improve your FPS at all?

MODERATORS, MOD ME DOWN, BUT MOD THE PARENT UP.
Apologies to all non-tard-mods.
Thank you.
How long did it take to ride your bike to England?
How fast did you have to pedal to not sink?
Since it's Chernobyl, instead of Leo, Mike, Raph, and Don, would we have Vladimir, Mikhail, I guess we could keep Leo (Tolstoy) and finally....Yakov??
I just don't see it capturing the same market share as the original.

1.21GW is from Back To The Future.
What other considerations would there be?
A) Can we hit it?
B) Can we hit it hard enough?
