I feel the same way. I keep a corded phone in my kitchen for situations like that. They are also particularly helpful in diagnosing line problems, as I've had cordless phones act up in ways that indicated the line was dead, but in reality the phone wasn't working right.
There are some pretty good prices on home phone over the internet (Optimum from Cablevision, in my area), but I don't like the idea of having to rely upon power or my ISP in order to use my phone. It's nice to be able to use dialup on the laptop as a last restort in a power outage.
Initially thought to be shaped like a pickle, it came to resemble more of a banana shape as comet Tempel I drew closer.
I dunno about you, but that reads like one of those trashy romance novels to me. I guess that's what one gets when we have a bunch of frustrated mom's basement-dwellers writing the article descriptions.;)
No, but the extra stuff is expensive, in one way or another. On a PC, it's expensive in terms of resource usage. IRL, the canopener is bound to be more expensive than one that doesn't have the extra rubber. Question is, are you willing to pay? Many of people are happy to sacrifice CPU for pretty.
There are still a lot of good lawyers out there. Perhaps you've heard of the ACLU? If not, I'm sure you could find any number of mentions of their work on any number of freedom-related topics in the/. archives.
Not everyone goes into law to chase ambulances or become a barrator (though you often have to start there).
He would, but he doesn't have the bling with which to hire a lawyer in case he gets sued. Incidentally, let us know how your visit with his lawyers goes.
First of all, nothing said that the ball moves 1 cm and the roach moves 1 m. It says that the roach walks and the vehicle moves. That's sorta like me walking on top of a log and rolling down the street. Sure, I'm rolling along the street, but I'm still expending just as much energy to do so. Also, what airline are you flying that makes you walk to power the plane?
Looks like someone at NASA was listening last week when someone here said that there should be a less safe and more bang for the buck cargo vehicle and a safer and more involved, launchwise, manned vehicle.
Maybe I'm retarded, but isn't this a "vehicle" in the same way that the Flinstone car is a vehicle? I mean, the roach still has to walk anyway. What does this research actually teach us? I'm willing to be the antennae were working better for the roach than the LED idea. If someone shined an LED into my eyes while I was driving, I'd probably slam right the fuck into the thing that I was supposed to be avoiding.
You've reminded me of the latest Amazon patent (at least that I've heard of) related to browsing histories and ads. Would seem to me that Google would run right into that one.
How innovative is it to find a new way to blast someone 5% harder than before, or to make it 13% more bullshit that a weapon hit a school instead of the target because it was supposed to be 13% smarter? I'd like to think that the groups that are MOST innovative are those with the LEAST money -- look at the stuff that happened on Apollo 13, for example, or compare FOSS to MS.
How is that possible? We've all (by now) seen the next article after this one: "Vehicle for Cockroaches." Who saw/that/ one coming? I think "we"'ve still got a few ideas left.;)
Except for the fact that, oops, the idea for this technology came from 1) BSD jails and 2) User mode Linux. I guess that makes Sun the guy sitting next to the pimply-faced geek and copying down his answers?
And Sophos is 100% right. I remember the days when this wasn't true, but the last time I installed Windows 2000 on my laptop at work, the machine caught the svchost.exe bug prior to me getting the virus software installed from a server on our LAN -- which was the first thing I attempted to do after connecting the cable. I had to burn a copy of the installer from a different PC in order to even get the virus software onto the laptop.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would get attached enough to a stupid computer OS to bother to write or even copy and paste that.
Read the article.
The problem there is that most dumpsters don't have street addresses. I don't think Google Maps allows for locations with no address.
I personally would have mod'd that "Funny," but I guess no one asked me.

I think it would be pronounced "asshole rye," and if it were, I'd take offense.

WTF is cartboard?
Zonk is really on top of his game lately.

Exactly. Quality of life has improved immeasurably since one particular innovation: the cell phone jammer.
