BoA bought out the original MBNA bank who issued the first set of cards and then proceeded to rewrite (in a very bad way) the terms of service. I now have unactivated chase student CCs used to get free lunches for signing up with better terms. Now, I have a different card with 1.5% cash back which I then contribute to my kidney fund.
This is why I have my own domain, and sign up every new account setting the email address to the domain @ my domain e.g.: slashdot_org@mydomain.com Naturally, all the mail @ mydomain.com forwards to my real email account which is elsewhere. Thus, if someone is sleazy and starts spamming my account, I can easily setup a filter to get rid of it. This is akin to andy rooney's use of creative misspellings of his own name in the 70s to track down junk mail.
I beg to differ. At age 4, I was quite capable of understanding concepts such as memory, sentence structure, and scientific method. The only thing I truly lacked in that time frame was experience. I wouldn't consider myself representative of all humans, but it's certainly possible. Children are much smarter than typical adults give them credit for. With regards to the sibling post about jello, I'd say that most children are limited not by their mental capacities, but by social order in what is considered "cool" to say. I know I certainly held back a lot at that age not because I was stupid and didn't know anything, but because I knew that I was expected to act a certain way.
What are the implications for hardware players? Will they now need to be updated, or does this key revocation only apply for WinDVD in particular. If so, does this mean that it would be possible to hack apart a hardware HDDVD/Bluray player and take its key? This doesn't seem like a very secure system if that kind of attack is possible.
Chevy is also in the midst of putting together a normal sedan car. It's called the volt and is a serial hybrid, meaning that the drive system is all-electric with a gasoline generator supplementing the battery pack when it's drained. The thing gets 50 mpg off gasoline and much much more off electricity (I remember hearing 600 mpg equivelent for the electric component). You can read more about it at chevy's website at http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/ . The batteries discussed in the article are going into it and are basically the only bottleneck at the moment.
GM needs these out last year. All the benefits of an EV with none of the trade-offs. Even if it only gets 40 miles to a charge now, better chemistry for batteries is always down the pike. Ship these with intelligent chargers that can be programmed only to go off at off-peak hours and you've got yourself a winner.
When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur.
In time, submarine seamounts, or islands, are formed.
When lava flows underwater, it behaves differently.
And a new contraption to capture a 'dandelion' in one piece has been put together by the crew.
The preparation for a dive is always a tense time.

for the amount of work you just put in to crack your "free" router, you could have just gone out and gotten a WRT54GL or a Buffalo Airstation and stuck dd-wrt on it.
If they were truly optimizing for mobiles, they would have done two things:
1. they would have composed the domain name entirely of letters that come up first on the keypad when you push a button (i.e. a,d,g,j,m,p,t,w).
2. It wouldn't be 4 letters long
You may be making a funny, but the power supplies used in computers can make a huge difference in how green they are. An example of good power supply design can be seen at the 80+ group's website. The specification basically boosts the requirement for efficiency from the 70s to the 80s along with adding active power factor correction (a huge boon for building owners as that prevents the need for giant capacitors in the basement to save money on electric bills). The cost savings for a machine that is on 24/7 with one of these new supplies makes it pay for itself in just under a year.
I bought a 550 watt Enhance power supply based off of the list of vendors from that website and have been supremely impressed with what I got. My power bill has gone down by a several dollars a month and my living room doesn't get quite as scorching hot. Also, given the build quality (far superior to any power supplies named after woodland herbivores) I have no doubt that I will be able to use this supply for years to come. All the latest fancy power connectors are included (24 pin atx, 8 pin +12v, PCIe, sata, etc) and intelligently laid out.
I'd go for the format whose cost per gigabyte is lowest. I use burnable media because it's cheap. If hard drives weren't 5x as expensive, I'd use them instead. Burning things to disc, especially in bulk, can be a pain in my butt.
People look at the front page of youtube? That's news to me. Only time I ever see youtube is when a video's linked to by a blog mentioned on a slashdot web 2.0 competitor's website...

I guess you could say that Verizon's FiOS Internet service is blazingly fast...
What do CFS and SD stand for in this case? The summary and linked articles do not describe this.

I use AmaroK. It works with my 4g iPod and my Blackberry Pearl. It will sync any generic mass storage device also. I'd give it a try.

Now maybe they can get rid of the oft-hyped "VIIV"....

I'll bite. 1 GB PC 5300 is $54.99 shipped.

You're confusing 4 kHz of bandwidth with much wider bandwidths.

seconded. That map 0wned.
Your UID is higher than his. Mine on the other hand, is much lower :)
...there's Mastercard.
Prisons are full of unrepentent murderers, as are the streets.
You make it sound like one can't walk down the street without meeting one.
