I can understand why some people who dont understand the usefulness of gadget/electronic feedback. Nothing bothers me more than something without some kind of blinking status light that lets me know from a distance if it is functioning or not.
Simple things like the red light on a tivo letting you know it is recording. Other LEDs on modems and network gear that give you an instant "at a glimpse" status.
I wouldnt mind the ability to turn some things off, but I don't think we need to get rid of any. If there is the ability to turn off the lights, it better be mechanical, not electronic based. If you turn them off in the firmware somehow, then the device fails, how will you troubleshoot some kind of closed box when all it looks like now is a dead paperweight.
Looks like they just painted an IBM Model M keyboard black and put their crappy logo on top of the IBM part.
I should know, I've painted several Model Ms.
Best keyboard ever.

I'm sorry but I have to call bullshit on that report. I nullrouted asiapac and my spam level went down to nearly nil. When I lose my nullroutes due to reboot i start getting slammed by spam and 90% of it is from asia-pac.
This is obviously as slanted a story on theregister as any other story on slashdot.
I guess since Intel couldnt convince anyone to buy the Itanium that they bought and rebranded from HP (formerly the PA-RISC) then they must make a clone of something people want.
Phase 1: Make 64 Bit chip Phase 3: Profit!
Phase 2 was Scrap Other Bought 64bit chip and include AMD compatible 64 Bit extensions to existing tired old Pentium line of processors.
I've been a long time TMobile/VoiceStream/Powertel customer and I received a letter the other day stating that my previous Tzones restrictions and Pay Per Megabyte are now Free. No limits, No fees. Seems that In an effort to keep customers they are offering more of the services as a courtesy rather than an exclusive pay service. I have also received "Extra Minutes" as a "courtesy". I think that companies will now try very hard to make sure that you see a better value in your service since they cannot hold the "You'll have to change your number, OH NO!" over you anymore.
Whenever someone from an opposing party wins its all whines and cheese. If electoral races and political parties were IRC it would be something like this:
OMFG TEH VOET WAS RIGGIED!!!11 I WANT OPZ SO I CAN KICK THEM!
All I've heard since GWB was elected was people who wanted some socialst in power saying things bad about the current president as if it really matters. These people take their toys and go home when they don't get their way. Not to mention cry about it forever.
I didnt hear the "vast right wing conspirators" whining this much when Bill "pants around my ankles" Clinton was in office for 8 years. Lying his ass off and basicly fucking us all in the ass.
And even now, with this "memo" from the Democrats about slandering Bush next year to win the election, using the powers of the Independent Council to lock up the current administration so they can sneak some socialist in and tax us all to death. WAY TO GO, keep whining about people who care about this country and stop using this "conspiracy" blip to explain all your cry baby rants.
These figures correspond almost directly to netcraft. Seems to me, more linux/apache boxes out on the net means more targets. IIS holds about 24% and apache is about 64%. DUH. Its not hard to see that there will be more attacks if there are more machines. I bet they didnt factor how many OS/2 boxes got attacked.
You obviously have never worked in an enterprise level environment. Source is fine if you like to spend all day mucking with stuff. but when you need to install or upgrade something quick to patch some vulnerability or add some kind of new functionality, you cannot just go grab the source and compile it on 400 machines.
If there are no packages and you have the time to compile one and distribute it out, thats fine. but simply saying that "Slack is better than X dist because you use source" is bunk.
You obviously havent spent any time in a real production environment involving hundreds of machines. When you get to that level you really rely on the vendor to supply updated packages and some good package management.
You only have to PAY for RedHat if you want to call them up 24/7 and ask them questions. Anyone competent in using linux or unix should be able to solve issues without a phonecall. So saying here that redhat is more expensive than slack is total bullshit.
I downloaded from Fileplanet and made it available via Bit torrent. I'm currently uploading at 70KB/sec on my 768Kb upstream. Yaay for community service!
I think that most early memories are flickers of things that happened. The entire memory might not be there completely but your mind recalls that one instance and fills in the back story.
When I was very young my parents had to put my legs in braces. I was very pigeon toed. Somewhat like displaced hips and oddly formed legs. I remember having to wear bars between my ankles and special shoes for alot of my early childhood. that was from about age 2 - 5.
I remember once choking on a lifesaver in church. I was about 3 or 4. That memory is more 3rd person in my mind. I'm sure my mind remembered the incident and created a situation around it for my memory.
Childred are very observant and as children we have to be. We have to learn a language, learn to communicate, learn to get around. We do all this by watching people. Some children are more observant than others and tend to look at the world around them in more detail.
WHen I was about 2 my parents took me to a friends house some states away. We spent a few days there, went to the beach, and came back home. A year later, I was 3, we went back. I asked the people where their grandfather clock went to. They had sold it in between the times we were there. Everyone was floored that a 3 year old would notice something of that detail about a place.
All my life I've remembered places I've been and situations, most from early childhood. I couldn't tell you where these places were, but I could describe them in every detail as well as draw them.
Memory is quite interesting, I just wish i could remember to use it.

Apparently a 236 UID doesn't get you troll resistant armor.
Guess I'll have to re-roll my character.
I probably would have been lower but I was lazy about it the day they implemented UIDs.
What do I get for a low 3 digit one? :P
You must be new here, in spite of that two-digit user ID
He probably is new. I saw Slashdot UID 56 for sale on E-Bay about a month ago for 17 cents or 4 sticks of Trident.
Damn! what is a 3 digit one worth? I'm out of Tic Tacs.

So AC, Are you trolling this from a free library computer while you wait for your welfare check to come in?

SAVE THE LEDS!
heh. still got ya beat.
Which category does this fall into?
The Google Deskbar doesnt work on XP64 for some reason. Even when installing Google Desktop the deskbar option doesn't work.
I guess that's the price to pay to be on the bleeding edge.
I'll sell you a UID 236 :P

Kojima already had a movie, it was called Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
He should just go release the 46 hours of cutscenes and useless dialog from the save game screen and put it on a 14 DVD set.
No real extra production cost. ITS BRILLIANT!

What the hell does Monte Python have to do with Spiced Ham... the Skit was made AFTER the release of the product.
Thus proving that the TV generation is full of idiots.
You've never seen Websphere or Oracle choke up a SunFire 6800 have you?
Isn't Evolution a PIM and NOT a desktop environment / window manager? I mean the Evolution that I use is a Personal Info Manager.
Just wondering if I downloaded the wrong one.
