Can we determine the best way to make artificial shepherd moons to steer the particles into large ore harvesting facilities? Let's get this space colonization started, wooooo!
Seriously, are rings and planets around gas giants good places to setup shop for the outer solar system? I mean Titan alone can provide billions of tons of methane.
Not without medications, Gigs you are one of my slashdot friends (believe you me) as someone who lives with a significant other with Aspeger's this is completely possible.
ADD medications such as Ritalin and Strattera (esp Welbutrin) can allow a person with Aspeger's to have a relatively normal existance in the world.
We do not need a robotic probe we could build a series of telescopes powered by plutonium in the far reaches of our solar system and use interferometry. The binocular version being planned soon will allow the detection of most larger gas planets nearby and when it is expanded it will allow the detection of nearby terrestrial worlds.
It is the utterly lackluster performance of older hard drives and less than 2 gigs of memory that is killing most of the Vista installs I have seen. 5400 rpm drives are constantly seeking even for the most mundane tasks in Vista. A clean install of XP x64 pro on my old AMD 3000 1 gig ran gloriously for 2 years. Tried the Ultimate version last weekend on the same machine. Besides the Nvidia driver problem in Vista I have come up against a brick wall trying to get my old PCI IDE card working.
Which saw the rise of CD based encyclopedias and internet based sources of information. I still remember writing papers based on newsgroup searches back when NNTP servers were not spam and malware havens. The internet is slowly killing many types of old school information gathering, even academic journals have felt the brunt of it. Peer review takes on a whole new meaning when you open it up to everyone with an internet connection.
TV dinners cost more than normal food. I never understood why poor and unemployed people would use their food stamps on that crap when you can make a cheese pizza yourself for 2-3 bucks and don't even get me started on Salisbury steak, shudder.
When I was hard up for cash I always ate better than when I had cash because I had the time to cook. I figure when I am rich one day maybe I will eat better again, but working and going to school have made me eat some of the worst food ever.
When will states realize that they do not have to tax their citizens to death to implement progressive policies and programs? I live 10 minutes from the California border, I spent almost 10k a year more when I lived in California for the same level of living. They will implement a tax, you can bet your sweet zombie jesus they will. It was the only state I have lived in where I was paying ~9% sales tax. Look at the fucking metrics on taxes and where your state stands.
You don't live in a mountain area. 50 miles north of me gets 500 inches of snow, and guess what? There is a pass 10 miles south of that. Traction control should be put in the factory floor with the same amouint of forethought as the seatbelt.
Yes, and the people that need to access those sites thus become more easily monitored. Their selection of ISPs goes down and they concentrate their numbers in those that remain. Wait for a few months and than collect the logs of the remaining ISPs and compare them to the sites in question. Than get another country to spy on those citizens circumventing the constitution.
Is this is what is going on? It seems that it eventually it would be like shooting pedophiles in a crib.
If you go X10 I can swear by this model, we live out in the country and can adjust it pretty reliably not to go off when every single critter in the woods comes by at night, yet it still works when people and deer come over.
Slashdot users have always been at the bleeding edge of technology adoption and sometimes we understandably are willing to pay the premium for features but this time Sony I think has overestimated the response of their base. It is not exactly lean times for many of us yet a wary eye has been placed on new formats that come out at 10x the price they will be in a year. If the blu-ray technology is anything like DVD tech, we will have ~100 dollar players next Christmas. The playstation does have an alluring bunch of exclusive games such as metal gear, but Final Fantasy will be coming to other next-gen consoles as well now. The only real selling point of the PS3 is the blu-ray and I simply do not have any need to go beyond the res current-gen DVDs can provide as I only have a 27" LCD.
I have misgivings about Microsoft as much as the next Slashdotter but given the Xbox 360 has already seen price breaks in some of its games and it has a price that I more typically associate with something that I "play" with. I think I am going with Microsoft this time. I might get a Wii as well, because I find it offers much better multiplayer games for parties.
If you have ever deployed 1000's of small devices you will know that the less parts and bulk the better. An input screen just begs something to be stolen. We had over a dozen pda's stolen at a dot com I worked for, they were all used for spurious purposes such as mobile inventory. The culprit was found when we sprayed the back of each one with a diluted bleach solution and ran a black light on the desks of the sales force. A man who was making 200k a year cried to us that he took them to give to his family as gifts.

Yeah, this was fixed a few months after the service went alive. Move along, nothing to see here.

Who makes pizza sauce when you can buy pasta sauce for $1.50 and use that for 3-4 pizzas?

So use the oceans. Algae works too.
Ditto, replaced 2 processors and a sound card last weekend and it took me 10 minutes.
They patented it and called it a healthy sounding name.

Try living in a place that snows, motorcycles are next to useless in snow.

Do both of you have asperger's ? I mean taking something literally like this, you might want to get checked out.
Xbox live 360 from Microsoft costs 40 bucks a year. Has there been any indication this is going to be free or something?
That would buy 80 acres with a house on it out here.
Last time I got one was at Walmart.
If you have not been addicted to it like the rest of us, the first fix is 20 bucks and the next expansion is 40 or so.

I mean Jesus H Christ hasn't anyone at Slashdot taken statistics?
