The speed of Pentium processors is determined after they are manufactured. If they pass the 500 mhz "quality assurance" test then they are sold as 500 mhz processors. If they fail at that speed they are tested at a lower speed. This process continues until a stable speed is found. If the processor is not stable at any speed it is scraped. That is why you can "overclock" Pentium processors so easily, you are not exceeding its design specs, just using it at a higher speed then Intel thinks is safe for THAT processor.
You are not being stupid. You are just not reading very carefully.
If an object is "orbiting at 400-mile altitude directly over the poles. " it must NOT be in a geosynch orbit. The key word is "poles". Note that it is plural. If something were stationary above the north or south pole the sentence would read "orbiting at 400-mile altitude directly over the North pole." If it is above both POLES then it must be moving.
Did not E*Trade back down? Did they not invite everyone to try again?
"We're giving them an opportunity to answer [the questionnaire] again," Saxon said. "Maybe they're not giving themselves enough credit."
"In no uncertain terms, he proceeded to tell me that ETrade did not do background checks, would not attempt to dicover if I lied, and implied that if I thought about it, and was willing to lie, I could fill out the form in such a way that it would accept me," Sparger said.
I just don't understand. Do you have some sort of objection to filling out the form again? Did you not know about this? It seems very straight forward to me. If you did not know about this then you have a valid reason to be upset. If you did know about this and chose to write the article anyway then you are a jerk for not speaking the truth.

We usually spell it oorah or urh, as in urh-kill. There is a whole history behind this but it is boring unless you're a devildog. I'm sure that we could all count well into the double digits but we have a real hard time counting things into the double digits. I don't know how many times I've heard some ass say "we're going on a 25 mile hump" then we hump for 30 miles and the same ass goes "only five miles left". Being an 03 is good for warping your mind.
US law prohibits the export of strong(over 56 bits) encryption technology to anywhere outside of the US AND CANADA(but not Mexico, cause we don't like 'em).
Giving users the choice to filter content is a really great feature. I think that Rob has done a great job with the moderation and all the neat functions here on Slashdot. But I see a small problem. I have my prefs set to block Katz articles. This is the choice that I made. I do this because I don't want to read Jon Katz articles. If Rob posts Katz articles, such as this one or one of the movie reviews, it makes it past my filter. This defeats the purpose of a filter. I can always just skip right along as soon as I see Katz's name, which is what I do, but this just puts all of Rob's work to waste. Right now this is not a big problem at all but as Slashdot grows, more people will want to filter certain authors and will be unable to, do to this "stealth posting" technique. This is a fairly minor gripe but it does irk me. Can we fix it?
I think this is on topic for this article because THIS ARTICLE is the subject.
This has already become a problem. There are literally thousands of old data tapes lying around encoded in formats for which there is no data available. The data on these tapes is now considered to be lost for all time.
They have picked the wrong company to target. If it had been some small no-name company with no assets they might have bullied them into paying. mp3.com has enough time and money to pursue a strong defense in the courts.

Huh?

At UCLA they have the "Hugh G. Dick Library".
They had to move the sign inside.
A judge around here just sentenced a guy to 10 consecutive life sentences plus 8 other terms. He won't be eligable for parole for 575 years.
oops.

sorry.
Lets do the math.
.003 = 26.28 hrs
365 days * 24 hours = 8760 hrs
8760 *
If you need more than 26.28 hours (in a year for one machine) to fix problems with BSODs then you don't deserve the bonus.
I am on Netscape v 4.51 and this function is still included. What version are you talking about?
I think the orignal poster was hinting about Linus's work at Transmeta. That would still just be speculation though.
I thought Dave Clark over at MIT invented TCP/IP. What am I missing?

The one on the bottom right is female as well. If you look carefully you can see the underwire in her bra cups.

You sentence should read: I thought that a PROFESSIONAL journalist, would grammar check their stories before posting them, I guess I was wrong.
Not to mention the over use of commas.
