I foresee a new videogame -=- a videogame that puts an end to sweatshops!
All we need is to create some software to interface with some robots. Then, we need to take that software and turn it into a game. In this game, we'll make a person's avatar be connected to a robot!
Think of it like this: take a robot that hoes the ground. Interface it with, say, a game much like diablo. Now, every time the user clicks the mouse, the robot hoes! And every time the user moves the character, the robot moves as well! We'll award points for doing a job right. We may even give treasure in the game for doing a task so many times.
The user will see a barbarian/wizard/paladin/whatever in the game. They'll never suspect: robots.
The biggest advantage is that people will be so hooked from the eye-candy and life-like sound that they won't mind hoeing the ground in exchange for a monthly fee.
What's really interesting about this game is that it's a strange carryover from a bygone era, an era when people actually fantasized about a video game (and how neat it was going to be) prior to releasal.
DNF is probably the last sentence in that chapter of video game history (which I guess has strangely been placed in the next chapter).
Personally, I'm going to enjoy the nostalgia when it comes out.
Try weightlifting. Years ago, I was barely eating anything and I wasn't exercising (at my worst point I was eating a Reser's burrito a day (I know, that's pretty bad, but I just wasn't hungry!)), and getting dizzy occasionally. Weightlifting, through stimulating my body for growth, made me HUNGRY. Now I eat frequently, have huge amounts of energy that keeps me going all day long, and am happier.
If you weightlift, you will start getting into the habit of eating more. Just remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day (sometimes dizziness can be brought on by lack of fluids), and hopefully take vitamins.
Thinking about it, I don't think moon dust is going to be that much of a problem because I just don't foresee people going out on the moon that often. Where are they going to go?
Maybe the first few missions they will, but later on, I'll bet that they stay inside of their "houses" while machines do all the work.
For example, those out there that get Cox Communications advertisements in the mail should look at the little bar graph comparing the speeds of 56k, DSL and cable. The bar for cable (5Mb/sec) takes up almost the entire width of the page, while DSL(1.5Mb/sec) covers MAYBE an inch of the page. Furthermore, to make DSL (their true competitor) look worse, they boost 56k's bar.
Skewing the bar chart for your convenience. Now that's what I call (informational) service.
1st, why is AMD naming operating techniques with that 'n' in there (so far as I know, there's cool'n'quiet and thin'n'light)?
McDonald's has a sandwich called the big'n'tasty. Does this mean that I will soon be able to get my McAthlon with fries (and greasy thermal paste on top)?
I don't know about you, but I think the future will taste delicious!
Secondly, (and more seriously) does this question the validity of the performance their other products, such as athlon64? Or have those other lines of products so far been tested true?
It makes me concerned because I was dumb enough to spend more money than I should've on an athlon64 3400+ (I should've waited until the price dropped. But, I really wanted it!)
In any case, I still prefer athlons over pentiums.

My University nickname is the lumberjacks, you insensitive clod!
Why make more computers when there are plenty of old computers polluting our environment?
Well, I think you know the answer to that.
Dude, you guys are getting rusty. I haven't seen a first post troll make it to first post in quite a long time. I think you should all give it up!
Come on everyone! Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf (the former iraqi information minister) tells all!
Oops. Meant to post AC...
...The post above was obligatory! Please give me a break!

Please?
Netcraft confirms it: the internet is thriving!
Ah! But they'll never know: robots.
They'll only know that it's a videogame!

Tom Sawyer indeed.
I disagree. I've picked up girls this way twice, primarily because they wanted to hear what I was listening to.
It's really cool! You should try it.
From the looks of it, Email is just a subset of the internet. Therefore, if you can't have the "internet", you can't have "email".
However, if you can't have "email" in the traditional sense, you can still find workarounds because you still have "internet".
Therefore, this post of taking one vs the other makes no sense.

hmm... this repetitive use of "Dongle" is making me wonder. Is Derek Dongle a penname for CmdrTaco?
The vast majority of you /.ers are vicious. I hope I never have to be "taught a lesson" from you guys.
Where's the compassion?
You sound just like my father...

Well, although the poster missed work, think of the money he or she saved not having to pay the government any money!
We'd all be working nights if that were to pass.
As is every companies' mantra, "Work harder for less money..."
Do they run windows?
I wonder what a blue board of death looks like?
Wow, is Microsoft's new campaign to steal the Mastercard commercial theme?
I can see how beautifully it'd work (just like everything else they steal)

Exactly!
Actually, I think it would've been more along the lines of eWindows (after all, they didn't name their site ehasbro, right?)
which brings me to XWindows...
Not only software... but ISPs, too!
