Hmm. The site was slashdotted before the great unwashed could see it. If the sites posted in articles get Slashed before anyone other than subscribers get to see it, then only subscribers will get the karma that inevitably goes with the posting of mirror to the slashdotted site, or posting content from the site. Not that that sort of Karma is ideal, but it does count the same. How about mirroring wimpy sites like this on slashdot itself? Or maybe doing something with the lameness filter?
To get to this point, IBM simply took the simple black box that opens like a clamshell but added a foldable layer to a hinge that elevates the screen to a level that desktop PC users would find comfortable, the IBM officials explained. This new idea, which Hill described as an "Origami-design for laptops," let's the user think of the laptop as a radical new desktop replacement. But conversely, just as laptops can be considered desktops, the desktop can also be considered to be a laptop as illustrated by the second design.
With this model, the monitor is folding up from the base using a similar hinge feature but this time the keyboard detaches and, for instance, could be operated via a Bluetooth connection. When fully closed, both new versions keep the T40 close to its current size and weight while adding a slight premium to the cost.
after a long day thinking about schemas, dependencies, learning the latest sdk, etc...i *want* to lower my brain activity. most people just watch tv. at least i'm interacting with my medium...
ata100 doesn't use it's entire theoretical 100 MBs. also keep in mind that firewire's theoretical limits are 1600 Mbs (not MBs) (i s'pose it's still less than the 1.5 GBs of serial ata:) )
i think the license is $1 per controller/device.
hotswaping is built in. i haven't seen otherwise.
i was just thinking the cabling was cheaper than scsi and ata
a good option to consider. i don't know of any mobo makers that offer it, but it's easy to add on. i think a speed bump to 800 Mbps is around the corner. include the fact that it's hot-swapable, 127 devices or something, etc...
this is incorrect. i recently moved, and i checked to see if the cable was already activated; it was (basic channels). when the service tech came out a couple of days later to activate my cable modem, i told him i didn't want cable tv. he put a filter on the line that blocked the basic cable tv, but allowed my modem to function. you only get free cable if your tech is lazy, and neglects to add that filter. is it so unbelievable that they can easily filter out the tv signal? come on guys...
in my experience, a good PBX can use this tech in conjunction with other tech (maybe even a separate system) to work the call. that is, it can listen to the B channel and talk with the part of the system that is connected to the trunk line, or PRI, to tell it to disconnect, or whatever. see my other post "call systems"
i love slashdot humor, but this discussion has gone a little heavy on it. anyway...
i suspect this tele-zapper thingy will probably be useless tomorrow morning. the equipment that call centers use is very sophisticated, and can be adapted to almost any situation.
prior to my life of linux, i was the phone system admin at a fairly large call center (1500 operators). we did out-going calls via a predictive dialing system that would account for the number of available operators, the number of successful connects, etc, and would start dialing as many numbers as it though it could. the system could tell an answering machine from a real voice by just the quality of the sound 80% of the time. those numbers were re-queued into another call job that could be handled differently by the operators (say more aggressively:) ). anyway, with this system, you could sample sounds on the line and program the system to behave differently if it heard them...there was no end to it. it was really fun to program.
so, i think that this little gizmo will be defeated soon. at least by the folks with quality phone systems.
How about using licenses and IDs in a sort of automatic teller type thing. Everyone has a magnetic strip on the back of their ID these days, right? Any thoughts?

That all the Monty Python episodes will be available? That would be really cool, but I just spent ~$100 on the 14 DVD boxed set. Nuts!

why not just block the satellite's signal to the GPS antenna when you need to? it isn't hard. i'm sure some geek out there can find a way...

good hardware/software solution here...

but i assume you don't want to buy a whole new machine. isn't the "superdrive" going to be available to pc folks soon? anyone?
