It must be a bug in your computer. Moths and June Bugs are known to stink like hell. I remember when my dad used to catch them buzzing around his monitor late at night, and then burn them with a little butane torch. Those bugs stunk so bad that even the dog wouldn't eat them!
If ESR had $46 M at the time of his cock-a-doodle-doo, with a share price of roughly $275 a share.. he must now have at most, $200,000 on paper, if he kept all of his shares. I suspect the situation is the same or worse for our good friends at slashdot.
This is actually the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my life. Truly beyond dumb. A pure singularity of stupid. Take the stupidest thing I have seen previously, and increase the gain by 1e+9.
In that same vein, just tell them to get a type-writer. You can find old 30kg models all over the place, and they get an intuitive interface, plenty of flexibility, and no hassles. If they want to be sophisticated, simply steer them in the direction of one of those overpriced 'word processor' typewriters from Brother. I heard they're only $900, and no computer skills are required.
Future generations will be quite confused when most of the comments sent to space consist of 'first posts', just like this article.. along with many other comments pointing this fact out.
It was one of the newer A6's, and it may not have been far from stock. I've been humbled by a couple souped-up civics too. (which is really sad.)
I've stayed away from big blocks in general, my engine of choice is the 383 stroker. It's tuned to run like a bat out of hell, but modern intakes and fuel injection systems, coupled with lighter cars are really making things a lot harder. By no means would I ever consider becoming a ricer, but I've been rethinking my strategy concerning engine modifications.
I'm sorry, but how someone could be proud to be part of a 'community' such as what is found here on slashdot is completely baffling to me. As such for most online 'communities' across the internet. How one can feel companionship from complete strangers that you have never met, will most likely never meet; and will furthermore most likely never want to associate with in real life is beyond logical comprehension.
Slashdot has degraded seriously over the years, this sort of 'community' just does not scale. I'm not refering to serving horsepower here, as the software and hardware actually scales quite well. I'm talking about the fact that such a comminity [in a sense] could not possibly scale to the level that you really have personal attention and the true sense of belonging with your peers. Of course, one could theorize that the system is merely made up of many smaller communities contributing to the great hive of slashdot. This is where the problem arises though, is that these microsystems do not generally follow geographic lines. In the real world , communities usually only form through geographical constraints, unlike the online counterparts.
What I am getting at, is that trying to bring real world contact and sense of community involvement over into the real world would more than likely end up becomming a dismal failure. The chances are slim that your microcommunity fits within a local geographical boundary; and if it does, then there may be some serious problems.
I'm with the SAE Walking Machine Challenge team at the University of Utah, and part of the goals for this upcoming year is to incorporate a vision system with rudimentary object recognition into the existing walking machine platform as part of bringing the machine to full autonomy.
I've utilized RT-Linux on an onboard 'normal' PC as the control platform, and have no intentions of changing it. Unfortunately, I cannot be of much real help at the moment, since I'm at the same stage as the article submitter. But if anyone is interested in details about the system, I may be of help in the future.

If you hurry up and register with the grace period program, they come and audit you this summer, and the promise not to prosecute you for 'pirating' that occured before May 1.

Hey, lay off! I have a Subarban!
my poorly written, rambling story really got quite a few people to take the bait. Stupid inchfan clubhouse!

When I die, please no funeral.
thank you.

Has anyone mentioned MUSHROOMS?
Oh.. darn.
As much as I would rather see autonomous machines battle it out, tele-operated machines are still technically robots.
Shouldn't you wash those nasty sink-dishes before reusing them?

You seem to disregard the fact that intermittent failures can and DO happen. And Sherlock Holmes was a character.

I thought the same thing, until my 400+ HP Dodge Dart was wasted by an Audi.
There is nothing wrong with that. *we* were bred based on aggression.
My mom is dead you insensitive assclown.
And you will be too if you ever come through SLC.
Oh yes, spread your STD far and wide.
First post in ages?? You post more often than I do.
Sure, I'm game. I go to the Pi a couple times a month or so, and I'm on campus every day of the week. Send me an email.

If only Anakin had drawn a picture of Padme lying naked on a couch, we'd have the family video stores here in Utah editing it. (!)

Nitpickers. More than enough nitpicking for all of you.

No, he looks more like Eric Scott Raymond.
