The only time I shut down my computer is when the UPS runs out of juice.
I find event sounds annoying. At least events that I know I initiated. I'd rather have audio notifications of events I wouldn't otherwise be aware of. Like mod points or something
Well, yeah, but back then they didn't leverage their capacities into proactive strategies to focus on the customer and become world-class organizations. So, even though they were "very large companies", they never maximized their potential to achieve unparalleled success.
For a second there, I thought I was back at AT&T c.1993.
Rule 1. You do not talk about Fight Club. Rule 2. You DO NOT talk about Fight Club. Rule 3. If someone calls stop, passes out, goes limp. The fight is over. Rule 4. Only two men to a fight Rule 5. Only one fight at a time, fellas Rule 6. No shirts, no shoes Rule 7. Fights will go on as long as they have to Rule 8. If it's your first time at Fight Club.. you HAVE to fight.
There's a song (electronic dance--listen to The System on XM:-) that features the rules of Fight Club (by Re-Create):

It would be nice if they would repair the stuff they've got. There's a room just off the main entrance loaded with driving games--and all of the wheels, shifters and some of the displays are broken. They remain broken week after week.
Once they go offline they are probably stored in some sort of near-line storage (or worse, microfiche) that requires a human to retrieve and print. Then those have to be matched up with a cover letter and folded and stuffed into envelopes and presorted for the post office. Not quite "nearly nothing" to produce. They are probably losing money on check copies if not barely breaking even.
Me and each of my neighbors are already growing about 1/3 acre of various kinds of grasses and shrubs. There's already a mechanism to come pick up those clippings every week and takes them to--who knows? county composting?
Perhaps I should keep them and distill it in my garage.
The power generated by the motors requires a load in order to slow the train, that's what the resistors provide. If there were batteries on-board I suppose they could provide the load, but I don't see that happening since electric trains get their power from the buss.
For example, the all-electric monorails at Walt Disney World use a combination of regenerative braking with resistor banks and, for below about 10mph and emergency stops, regular friction air brakes.
While braking a loaded train from, say, 40mph, the motors generate upwards of 600amps. The power supply seems to offer well over 3000amps. I don't think the train would actually slow down if you tried backfeeding it into the system unless another nearby train was accelerating ?
Everyone here is whining about the evils of DRM. What if you're a retailer? What options do you have?
I operate an adult DVD store. One thing I'd like to start offering is DVD downloads and streaming. My only choice here is either pay DivX to do everything for me or set up a Windows DRM license server. Of course that means I have to offer the videos in WMP too.
I'm looking forward to an open-source DRM. Perhaps the community can implement the fair-use features you are all whining about.
The Greater Geek is the one with the pizza and coke or coffee stains and clumps of dead skin on the edges of the home row keys, I say. Yes, on the keyboard. Oh, and the IBM logo in the top-left corner of course.

While you're at it, why not create an email account to collect a new spam mailing list and post that address to the front page on Slashdot!

I remember an episode of This Old House where Bob Vila says something like "they don't build 'em like this any more" and Norm (?) replies "Thank God!"
Just because your development platform is powerful doesn't mean that your target client's machine is going to be powerful.
"It runs great on my machine!" doesn't cut it when your client has to upgrade 100 computers to run your carelessly inefficient code.

Yes, Intel i810 or i815 graphics and three PCI slots on a riser.
Did you happen to document your procedure?
yes it is! Lawry's makes it easy and fast to add a distinct flavor to meats after only 30 minutes of marination.
I bought my PC for $25 from Disney's surplus. It's a screamer: 866MHz P3 with Intel 815 integrated graphics and no AGP slot. How's that for a budget?
690 is questionable? No wonder my (former) credit union was such a PITA. In my experience, BofA is a little picky too. Failing them, try Wachovia.

So what's the energy density of lawn clippings?

You mean like searchextreme.com ?
There are several resources you can use to answer some or all of your questions. avn.com and ynotmasters.com among them.
Then why have power steering? If you can't turn the wheel, then you're too weak to drive. Your car should have a "weak driver" sign

The respective governments should force him to do it. Those thousands of people could be paying taxes instead of dying
Why pay for cell minutes at all if you're not going to "use them up"?
By the time you pay for Skype plus all this extra equipment, wouldn't it be cheaper to just bump your celly plan up a notch?
