I have a similar device. It's a guitar. Just touch the headstock to anything and play. Or cut the big magnet in a speaker out of the cone, and tape it to a table. The real test will be the fidelity of the sound. Although the thought of stereo from two connectors on a single surface sounds acceptably super-cool.

You have most likely inadvertently taken advantage of Slashdot to boost yourself up in the rankings. Merely being an active commentor puts your homepage link all over... And loads of people link to slashdot. It isn't on the same scale as the blog tactic in the story, but it still can jack a "Matt Burke" (or any other non-famous name) to the top in about 50 posts.
This is my personal answer. Using school bandwidth to get whatever flavor linux.iso and freeBSD (just to have) is far cheaper and easier than going to a store. Not to mention, most games now suck or are available for linux (rtcw).
Think of it like this: we determine how accurate a rifleperson is by how consistently they shoot. You could shoot one shot and say "I meant it to go exactly there" and nobody could verify it, but you say "do it again", and then see how close they get the second time. This would be accuracy. Likewise, accuracy is lack of variation in time per cycle for this clock. See previous std-dev post for lower level explanation.
If screen-names can now be tied to genuine paid-for products (page views), maybe the login's should be a bit more secure than plain-text. This means no more "You can automatically login by clicking This Link and Bookmarking the resulting page. This is totally insecure, but very convenient." I wouldn't pay anything until some sort of login encryption gets put into use.
DoubleClick will also be providing their own SPAM blocking software which for $50/month will prevent their DART-mail customers from bugging you. This is expected to be the real profit-maker.
. . . they would have found far fewer crossovers which are often cheap quick cameos meant to get the casual buyer to take a second look and hopefully buy. The bankruptcy probably made Marvel a lot more marketastic. Which is not necesarily good, so we can still go on hating that fat bastard . . .:)
It'd be nice to see their numbers on a timeline to confirm or deny this.
So they say that to obey the law would be illogical because it would waste money and paper? So why is ElcomSoft being prosecuted? Or better yet, why does the treasury print new money? It's all paper and will be shredded and burnt in a few years anyways. So it's all wasted. Ha!
If you can develop rules that are generic enough (hack and slash) multiple people could connect to the same server, but play different games. Beat your friends at AOK while they get crushed in Warcraft. Good for kitsch value:).
Not all film contains gelatin (no e), a quick google search turned up which types have it and which don't. Apparently it's only in the best looking film.
On a side note, does this mean you don't support most photographers or (non-digital) movies?
Or better yet, when the school has it's public hearing with the goofballs complaining of the emf reveal that it hasn't been broadcasting for the last two weeks. It'd blow their minds:)
A Microbus is cheap ($1000). Easy to maintain. Has kitsch value. Tack on a generator for power and you're set. Low complexity == maintainability.
Plus there are many available configurations to choose from in addition to the widespread user community which can advise you on any customizations.:)
Of course, you would need to keep it in a garage for security, but that would be true no matter what vehicle you put a signifigant amount of tech stuff into.
Not to troll, but I will. Cygwin sucks ass for development. Everything is linked to cygwin.dll (which is GPLed, but that's a whole other can of worms) causing apps built in cygwin to run noticably slower than the same thing in mingw (On my 550mhz AMD). Plus I'm not sure, but I don't think cygwin runs in DOS w/o windows.
This is not to say that cygwin sucks ass (I use it), but beyond providing a nicer Windows environment/command shell and XFree it has no use.
But how often do you go to a used software dealer?
I guess this would have to be restricted to original sales and only the software manufacturer would be liable.
(And yes, lemon laws are new cars only, unless some moron doesn't say "as-is" when selling their used cars in which case liability for break-downs can vary state-to-state, but it is never as bad as new-car breakdown liability.)
Why not, if you get a non-functional/debilitated automobile in most states the dealer is required to buy it back if they can't fix it quickly. If they can however, you keep the fixed car. What a concept!
Delete everything but the exact question(s) you're responding to. The details are still available in your archive of the older mail. If you deleted that, did you really care about the details?
Wouldn't a two sided mobo require better manufacturing? I mean look at your average board, most of the traces are on top, and there are solder bumps on the other side. If one were to flip some of the chips, there would be solder bumps on top which would get in the way of top side components. Even the Shuttle has a one sided mobo.
On a related side-note what alternatives are there to the Shuttle miniPC?
Actually the only studies to show this were done with either monkeys or rats, and upon researching it I found out that they (the monkeys and rats) had their brains edited so they became unable to sleep at all.
But what can kill a monkey can often kill a person too.
No need to check Java class files. Unless they're run locally they've got rather limited capabilities. That's why there haven't been any Java virii. The sandbox concept works well.
This is true. The symptoms are similar to dehydration. Granted it is estimated to happen after over +150hrs awake and somebody would have to sit there shocking you to keep you awake, but it is a possibility.
Another thought, try light therapy while sleeping. I've heard good things about its ability to make one feel more energized. Plus it is shown to be effective therapy for seasonal depression (which has been confirmed to be a honest to goodness mental disorder).

Nuclear bombs are fragile because they can't burrow through 6ft. of concrete and _then_ explode.
Basically this is a big huge egg drop project.

It's only funny because the guy running the contract is a bombastic old guy named Walt Zimmer (Walt's WALTS

Roads were closed in California because they make people prone to anger and violence.
Wow! You really weren't trying too hard back in the day, were you Taco?

If it were free and open, we could write white papers on why it sucks and/or improve it. That wouldn't be so bad.
