Very handy for hospitals whose equipment can potentially be sensitive to the high interference caused by cell phones. (Not going into if they actually are, but when someones life is on line, you don't second guess).
Also for airplanes. As it has been discussed, it's not an issue of interference for the plains electronics, but rather huge stress for the network. Could be handy to mount some of these at the airplanes ceiling and equip it with a moderately toned piezo buzzer to remind anyone who has forgotten to switch off their phone. Shouldn't get false positives from terminal either while on ground, as the planes are usually more than 30 meters from there. The piezo buzzer would be probably sufficiently collectively annoying to encourage any bonehead to shut off their phone too:)

So.. You have actually played (sp?) either of the sports? The infrared "laser" beam gets disorted very quickly. Yeah. If you consider "shooting someone with a firehose" sharpshooting, be my guest. (Well, firehose in an environment with no gravity.)
I wouldn't consider trying to hit the silly little receiver very interesting either. Very easy to cheat by just covering the damn thing. Also, you can observe the exactly same behaviour with bullets as with the paint balls. Just in larger scale. If you really are doing some sharp shooting you must inherently calculate the effect of wind, gravity, small twigs and so on on the fly while trying to hit your enemy. (Yes, I have done some research. Especially after reading a life story of one man certain man.)
PS. Shit I hate to over explain every damn post I make while being even slightly drunk.
ARM does good business. They support they cutomers. they make good products. That's all. I don't care if they are a monopoly as long as they continue to be the benevolent dictator.
They ship exactly what the customer wants. In cell-phone markets it's common to "roll your own" processor. You basically order the ARM core and then tell them exactly what instructions you want to be in the chip. They will deliver that.
I have no idea what's with it. But it is somehow mandatory to offer coffee whenever someone comes to visit. And to have after lunch... And dinner... And with morning paper... And whenever having a cigarette... And when reading some manual or what have you... I guess you get the idea;P
I actually have never tried starbucks. There isn't one here in Tampere. I couldn't find one in Helsinki either with quick googling. I'm not sure if we actually have a single starbucks in Finland:P Locator didn't list Finland either. Might be that they have hard time selling here because coffee is offered in practically every store which sells anything food related. 1 euro for your bog standard cup of coffee.
Yup, different tastes. My father used to buy his coffee from a small shop which hand ground and mixed to your specification or preferred 'style'. He then chucked a spanish one-cup espresso cooker full of that strong roast and out came some hideous stuff that resembled used motor oil. Didn't need to drink more than a spoonfull of that to keep awake thou:P
Uhhuh... Gevalia? It landed here in Finland few years back. The TV commercial catch-phrase was something like: "Coffee you could offer to your guests" -- Often with a storyline where someone crashed into your home in an unexpected situation. Which was much joked as meaning "You wouldn't offer your GOOD coffee to uninvited guests now would you? So keep a pack of this horrible shit in the cupboard just incase."
And personally. I hate it... These are my choises of coffee: Presidentti and Juhlamokka (Sorry, I couldn't fina a link for the latter)

I've been using a DOS boot disk and a program called Mel to do my word processing.
And you suggest trashing his adequate-for-the-purpose machine and buying a top-of-the-line power hog would be saving in some sense.
On the topic of what time costs. I consider my free time absolutely worthless. I waste it on drinking, reading slashdot or watching cartoons anyway. I would find a nice hardware hacking project much more better value for my time than my usual activities.
I made Linux 2.2 (with some basic software) run on 25mhz 486dx with 8 megs of memory just for the challenge of it. Learned hell of a lot of how Linux works in the process too. I say, to the original author: Go for it! #linux on IRCNet is very helpfull if you show atleast moderate experience so they can actually instruct you without teaching how to use an editor first.
I wonder what this post cost me. Took many minutes to proof read it, and actually check the specs of the old beast in the closet.
Heh, only thing rendering horribly for me in FireFox is/.
I don't know what is the reason but sometimes it just renders the frontpages article list on top of the left menu. Ohwell, guess slashdot should put up a disclaimer: "Designed for Internet Explorer 6 or later";)
PS. Damnit, I tried to get it to barf to put up a screenshot but now the damn stubborn thing refuses to render incorrectly:)

Where's the "-1 - Asshat"-option?
Oh yeah? EverQuest? (And other MMORPG treadmills)
Oh yeah... That little thing.

(Shameless plug. Check my sig. New release today)
Who would want a server that looks like this.
(They mixed item desctription for item 141, and picture of 1441)
Then....
This model looks kinda goofy, but anyway... S90 will have full support for mp3, AAC and so on.
Except that heat pipe cooling has nothing to do with liquid cooling.
Just a Futurama quote :)

I tried to think of something snappy to say but only thing I could think of was: "Google turns evil"
:)
Then I thought "From where in the hell did that thought come from?"
Must be the provocating colour scheme of YRO. Didn't even notice it was YRO before reading your post
*Mmmmmm* Subliminal messages.

Forget the damn laser gheytag.
Just play paintpall. It's much more fun.
Ok, you inconsiderate clod.
Here's a usenet group for you.

It is definetely DX.

It used to be an old IBM manufactured PC. I have unfortunately lost the case so I don't know what model it was

Hehe, oh you evil man! /. can you be modded as flamebait for that saying :)
Only on
(Not going to the details of which other forums have moderation system where you can get modded as flamebait...)
Or SMTP? That's obsolete too!
Please people, before hitting submit, think atleast a second what you are saying.
"I have this hammer here. It's really handy for hitting nails."
"Oh cool, I have this piece of two-by-four here. Can I cut it in half with that?"
(If you did have some kind of point, please elaborate.)
Would that count as irony?
There was this pedantic storm of misuse of 'irony' just lately...

And then to XP!
I don't even know what possible number system/base that could be in!
