That's really no problem. We'll develop a fast-growing strain of wheat that we can use to make huge amounts of bread in order to develop molds that can be modified to feast on the virus.
Of course, this strain of wheat may grow too fast to be manageable, but that's really no problem. We'll just release hordes of pigeons to eat the excess grain. When the pigeons get too numerous, we'll release lizards that will eat the pigeons' eggs, thus controlling the population. To control the lizards, we'll release waves and waves of Chinese needle snakes to wipe them out. Of course, the snakes are even worse than the lizards, so we'll line up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat. Then, when wintertime rolls around, the gorillas will simply freeze to death.
You're way off base. All of the people in my department at work run Linux, so clearly Linux is already dominating the desktop. The fact that my department is made up of entirely Linux sysadmins should not take anything away from this single statistically relevant sample. Of course, we all run Red Hat because Gentoo is for masochists and Ubuntu has a stupid name. Sure, Microsoft's brainwashing^Wmarketing may lead you to believe that Vista is all the rage, but everyone knows it's a memory hog that barely runs on most supercomputers. Especially now with Linux being pre-installed on so many desktops, Microsoft is bound to go bankrupt any day now.
Also, did you know that the longest recorded frog jump was 33 feet 5.5 inches? Amazing!
Given the command list provided, it may hold some promise. The fact that it has tftp and the ability to boot from a specified kernel image (hard-coded name though) opens up the possibility of uploading and booting from a custom kernel (if the shell in question has write perms to/kernelcache anyway, no indication that it does). It also can write to memory, which is intriguing as well. It can also do exciting things like adjust core voltage, so maybe you could use this to fry your iPhone. If, you know, that's what you're into.
It's a crime that you start at -1. You have to respect a guy who has posted nothing but the same exact joke for 4 years straight. Truly, you are an inspiration to us all. You are a one-man Slashdot meme.
The real news is that Transmeta is still in business. 5 years ago I joined a company that was using Transmeta chips for their primary product. The chips were really slow, even slower than their MHz rating would suggest. We were the only company that I was aware of that were using Transmeta chips at all.
Actually, everyone in the jury and the court room will be charged with piracy. In each of those trials, the tape will be shown again, and everyone in THOSE court rooms will have to be charged with piracy. Eventually, the entire country will be in prison for piracy because of this one videotape. This is why video piracy is so very, very bad.
The SDR Forum is not affiliated with the FCC or the federal government, and in fact is opposed to this new FCC rule. The SDR Forum brought up those two methods as a counterpoint to the FCC's rationalization for this rule. I don't see any doublespeak there.
Even if you do something for the love of it, if someone else comes in and makes millions of dollars off of it, and gives you nothing, it's bound to burn a little.
That is not true. As the previous poster stated, the Wii comes with Wii Sports, a wiimote, and a nunchuck. I did not buy mine as part of a bundle, and that's what I got. All of that stuff comes in the box with the Wii itself.
When my battery is running low and I'm not near the charger (or an outlet) it's nice to be able to swap out the battery. Not a deal breaker necessarily unless you do a lot of camping or something, but certainly an annoyance.
I'm not sure what you mean by "half a remote". The Wii comes with the remote and the nunchuck attachment, which is enough to play all Wii (meaning made for the Wii, not GC or VC) games. The Virtual Console controller is only needed to play a small subset of VC games, so it really should be considered an add-on rather than part of the standard controller.
I bought the Wii for $250, and I thought that was a pretty good price. For the PS3, if they got the 60 GB version down around $400, I'd probably seriously consider buying one. Anything higher than that just isn't going to happen though.
Don't bother. It sounds to me like they are opening this up in Canada because it's easier to get low-cost employees from India or China into Canada than it is to get them into the US. I don't get the impression that they're doing this because it's hard to get Canadians into the US, especially since it isn't.
my 360 is actually very quiet (my PC is WAY louder with my 7 case fans) I'm sure what you're saying is valid, and I'm glad you're happy with your purchase. This line made me laugh though. Your PC has 7 case fans, which has to make it abnormally loud for a PC (my PC only has 3 case fans, and that's if you include the power supply fan as a "case fan"). This is like saying my car runs amazingly quiet because it isn't as loud as a 747.
Conclusion:... G Bush is 100% responsible for failing to stamp out spam. You just aren't in on the President's brilliant spam-fighting strategy. Once the dollar devalues even more and the economy collapses under the weight of crushing debt, the average American will be too poor to be able to afford C1AL15, even at a discount. At that point, the spammers will stop targeting Americans, and send all of the spam to Europe instead, and Presto! America's spam problem is solved.
Welcome to tech journalism. All you have to do is publish companies' press releases. For "in depth" articles, you visit their offices and have the PR guys talk to you all day. For product reviews, you repeat the companies' benchmarks and then turn on your demo unit to take some screenshots (if you can't find screenshots on the manufacturer's website, that is).
As someone who once worked for a company producing a product that had major hardware issues (as well as some fairly significant software bugs) yet still got rave reviews from tech sites, I can tell you this is pretty much how it works.
allofmp3's credits weren't redacted. Of course they weren't redacted. Why would anyone feel the need to put them into proper literary form to be published? How would you even do that?
I was going to point out how odd it was that slashdot didn't run a story when Clinton pardoned Marc Rich Why is it odd that Slashdot didn't run a political story almost 4 years before it had a Politics section? Back then, Slashdot was a technology blog, not a "whatever gets us the most page hits" blog.

For some reason, I don't think it would be any easier hearing "It's okay, it happens to lots of guys" from a robot.
I assumed it was related to eradicating the deadliest "bio" film of all: Biodome. I can think of no worthier cause.

As you can see, it's quite an elegant solution.

It's usually extreme heat coupled with some oil, maybe with a little garlic butter thrown in.
Sorry, Squidward only has 6 legs (4 legs and 2 arms really).
I'm ashamed that I know that.

It could be worse: you could work in IT. I tell other parents I work as a piano player in a brothel in order to avoid the embarrassment.

Bush's Law: As any online discussion grows longer, the probability of a mention of George W. Bush approaches one.

They believe what the people who give them the most money want them to believe. Welcome to government.
