For these reasons, the demise of RADAR is vastly exaggerated.
But didn't netcraft confirm it? I read somewhere that RADAR was dead... some kind called RadarBSD...
Thank you for the informative post, and why the heck do you need two radar detectors in your car? Are you the guy who almost totaled my Yugo by driving by at 200 MPH? Man, the rushing air alone made my car flip over. I shouldn't have eaten chili!

Oh wait, was this about Linux? I have to build 2.4.21 for my VPC installation and my 90Mhz Pentium... "Behemoth"
Now the kernel builds fast and KDE takes for-freakin-ever...if you manage to meet all the dependencies...
Ironically, that's what I've been doing lately. I just grabbed the patch update to 2.4.21 and will be compiling it as soon as I finish recompiling QT (again).
Adding to the irony, I'm compiling this stuff on my mac (under VPC... too scared to try making a GCC cross-compiler) so I can use it on my 90Mhz Pentium that I only use on weekends.
And I'm replying to a foe of mine.
I think I'll go choke on my pocket guide to the heimlich (sp?) maneuver.
1. just get over it already and download the stupid patch version 2. ???????? 3. PROFIT!!!!!
Dang, I need a beowulf cluster to compile this new kernel! I oughta get a soviet russian to do it for me. All your base are belong to slashdotted kernel.org!
Preliminary data reveals that carjackings correlate to the number of copies of GTA that have been sold in the immediate area. From now on, your license will automatically be suspended when you buy GTA.

The reason Rush Limbaugh and all his wannabe's are taking over is because that's what the majority wants to hear. Even liberals are listening, which they shouldn't be if they want him to go away. For cryin' out loud, the liberal media is publishing surveys declaring the popularity of President Bush.
If you don't want to hear it, turn it off, and start your own damn station, and don't give me BS about not being able to. Just set up a website with some streaming audio. Plug it in your slashdot sig. Watch your freaks list grow like a frikin' chia pet! (I already added myself. And you might want to realize that you have way more freaks than fans already.)
If you're too lazy to start your own liberal outlet, listen to NPR. Listen to your AM talk station(s) long enough and you'll find some liberals. Granted, they're probably in a crappy time slot because not many people want to hear them whine. There's plenty of liberal crap flowing through the air, so find it if you want it so bad.
That should be "insightful", not "funny". My comments are supposed to be "funny".:-P
Anyway, I agree. The Terminal app is slow too. Ironically, I now use rxvt when I need a terminal, because Apple's X implementation is so nice and fast.
Maybe my posts are moderated funny in Soviet Russia?
Neo: I want you to publish my autobiography. Agent Smith: Give me the keys to Zion! Neo: I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave. Agent Smith: My name's not Dave, it's... I dunno what the hell my first name is. Maybe it is Dave. I'm Agent Smith. (pause) Neo: What were we talking about?

I commend you on the good writing, you should consider writing a short story or something.
But how stupid do you think the military is? IF the soldier was THAT dependent on the device, he/she would be supplied with a backup. Anybody with military experience please correct/confirm this, but don't many soldiers in the field carry some kind of handgun in addition to whatever rifle/machinegun/etc is their primary weapon?
Anyway, I really don't think they're going to be that dependent anytime soon because of the exact danger you detail here. As the whole world saw in the recent whooping of Saddam's regime, much of war can now be fought via air/special ops., which make the environment much safer for ground troops. Granted, we had a massive advantage in Iraq (Iraqi forces weren't 100% loyal, the regime didn't have the ability to strike us at home with anything, etc.), so it would be different if we were fighting say, China, but nonetheless, ground war is safer for us now than in WW2 (duh!). It's possible that by the time we move in on the ground, there's not much left to do, other than claim & protect the area.
Dude, I don't want to have to buy Coke (not THAT coke, perverts!) for my computer too!
It would be interesting if this could be used in the next generation of humanoid robots. Can't you just imagine a robot walking into some bar/restaurant (probably in Japan) and ordering soda? One step closer to making the Matrix a "reality".

What's it do?
Haha... "whack" them with a magazine... a whole magazine? Now that's overkill!
You forgot "VTEC" stickers!

If you want to see a good movie without sex and language, see a silent movie. HAHAHAHAAAA!!!!
;-)
But seriously:
See the Spy Kids trilogy. Not cool you say? Next movie (out July 25 2K3) is in 3D. Yes, I'm a nutty Spy Kids fan.
Oh shut up, you sick minded people! I'm only a couple years older than the main characters. Sheez, get a life.
And other than that, I can't think of anything besides old Abbott & Costello movies from the '50s.
I can't think of any story at this moment that would be more appropriate for a "imagine a beowulf cluster of these" comment.
I mean really... imagine... AAHHHHH! The destruction! It burns, it burns my eyes!!
OWWW!!!
I am going to sue you with a beowulf cluster of lawyers because you stole my book idea!

I recently had a V-chip implanted in my brain. Now I no longer need clothing, as the V-chip places a nicely-rendered black rectangle over my parts.
That's one V-chip you don't wanna turn off, trust me.

Teenage males who also played FPS games were able to gun down said "actresses" with similair accuracy.
TONGUE IN CHEEK!
That looks like something straight out of the "zippy" file for fortune...
Not quite the same. Many people would see that as dishonest, but not the god-mode thing.
No, that would be a much more subtle hack... nobody would notice!
Yeah, like slashdotters aren't paranoid enough.
That reminds me, where's my tinfoil hat?
Would it be fair to say that this is "seminal research"?
I prefer "Krispy Kreme Kalamity", myself.
