Sure, slashdotters rationalize stealing music, movies, software and even bandwidth. Disney has come up with a reasonable way to keep you from stealing admission and it makes you angry.
There are also face-scanning devices all over the parks and at traffic intersections on property.
So.. when we force you to come to WDW, we know what you look like. We know the shape of your index and middle fingers (and by extension, perhaps, your penis size).
We also know your whereabouts because we force you to carry a Pal Mickey or various infrared-controlled light-up pins and buttons.
Oh, and what you eat and how much you sleep based on your resort room key or regular credit card use.
The Disneyworld (FL) monorails doors will reopen if you are in the way and will continue to cycle as long as the pilot doesn't switch the train into "Run." Once that happens 120psi will close the doors for good.
It's amazing how many people WON'T grab the door as it's closing. They stand there and watch it close in front of them.
We're in the process of installing new semi-automated swing gates on some of the platforms. They open towards the train and are situated about 42" away, longer than a guest's reach. They create a chute to herd guests and their freaking strollers in or out and away from the train. Once the doors are closed, we close the gates and that pulls them back a safe distance. [when the system is complete] the train will not be dispatched until all doors and gates are closed.
since cassettes? wow, try 45s. small plastic discs spun at 45rpm against a needle.
the industry was run based on 45 sales before. this is just a return to the norm. back in the day, billboard based its rating on sales of 45s not radio requests.
Why is it when I enable immersion with my iFeel mouse that my network goes nuts? Is the mouse calling home to momma? The traffic is between my Win2K desktop and the Linux IP masq gateway.
If Cray was alive today, I like to think that he'd be directing research into quantum computers, and maybe technologies like Starbridge Systems is working on.
If Cray were alive today he'd be clawing the inside of his coffin.
Remember there is a tariff paid to the recording industry for every blank tape and recorder sold. See earlier articles about tacking this same tarif on blank CDR's, and the uproar at the suggestion. I propose a 0.50/month tariff on internet access to be paid to the RIAA. Have it come out of my AllAdvantage account.

..is how they are going to make the unnecessarily large SATA *power* connector fit these little drives.
Does SATA really need a 4-conductor but 14-contact connector? It's bigger than the damn data cable
"flush toilets"
Geez, I hope people aren't stupid enough to contaminate drinking water with feces when it is in such limited supply.

Actually, in the rest of the world the Engineer is who drives the train. The conductor rides the train and checks tickets and whatnot.
;-))
Unless it's a Walt Disney World Monorail, then the driver's title is Pilot (it's not on the ground
Yes, I hate being called a Conductor.
This is just like putting a fart can on your '97 Civic hatchback. It's doesn't make it any faster or cooler. I mean, it's a Civic for crying out loud!
The law was repealed in 2001 and World of Beer now can get just about anything, if he doesn't have it already :-)
Too bad I don't like beer.
Not a mutant, he's the Jobs+Woz love-child.

I use mine as an under-desk flashlight. Since the mouse is USB, I plug it into the spare PS/2 port.

If you don't have that kind of time, try a Bonsai Potato.
I'm pretty sure that the characters girls get tattooed on their lower backs are a big joke on them.
I'm sure they say something like "Upstairs Downstairs" or "If you can read this, use a lubricant"

Do you think you could take my resume to whomever it is you work for? I'm tired of working for The Man and his 9-5 schedule.
Well.. a lot of people around here just pop it off Gnutella and intall it.. beta or not.
/. because it doesn't work.
Then they whine on
..if they used a new dual-CPU G4 PowerMac.
