Well, i know several persons here (Argentina) that could do it for 3 u$s an hour, with their own cable internet connection. (residential cable connection is about 25 u$s a month).
Ok, for all of those who didnt RTFA and start blurting out about radiation, let me quote this to you:
With backscatter technology, rays deflected off dense materials such as metal or plastic produce a darker image than those deflected off skin. The radiation dosage is about the same as sunshine, Hallowell said.
I left a job (not a very good one, but it payed the bills) to partner up with 2 unemployed friends for a 6-month project. The project fell through the last minute, and we're left to our own to sell it (it's a webmetric project, our partners were supposed to sell the service).
Now we're barely getting by competing against indian and russian programmers on scriptlance.com and doing freelance jobs here in argentina.
Not that im bitter or anything.
On the bright side im only 22 and i live with my parents, so i can afford to screw up on this, although i would hate it if that finally happened. Well, at least i have a gf now:-D
Well, i lost 25 kilos last year, and at the beginning being hungry all the time was a bummer, but my nutricionist really hit the nail with her approach: "you can eat as much as you want, as long its fruits or vegetables (no bananas or potatos)". So if i got hungry, i ate an orange, a tomato, an apple, lots of yogurt, etc. And then i would go to the gym for 3+ hours 4 times a week. Doing this the first 3 weeks i lost 3 kilos per week:-D.
And what happened to me afterwards was that 6 weeks later i found myself eating less and less. Go figure;-).
The geeks (including me!) came out of the woods for this! 400 comments in a few minutes, not even the moderators had time to mod up anyone, the best comment is at 3 right now!!
Well, my vote goes out to hudson hawk, a really funny movie that very little people remember now (sh*t, that makes me sound old!).
You're not alone my friend... i really digged that movie too. It has some hilarious scenes like this ones:
Hawk: Gates tries to blackmail me, you ask me 'did I miss anything?'. Gates gets killed and you say 'did I miss anything?'. I bet you went up to Mrs. Lincoln at Ford Theater and ask 'How was the show? Did I miss anything?'
[Hawk saves Andie from a pillar] Anna: That was bold of you. You didn't have to do that. Hawk: It was nothing. Anyone would have done the same thing. Anna: No, I mean you didn't have to tackle me and rip my dress.
[Hawk is being dragged behind an ambulance] Girl in passing car: Hey mister, are you going to die?
MY NAME IS KIT KAT. THIS IS NOT A DREAM.
Hawk: Don't I know you? George: The last time you saw me I was bald, with a beard and no moustache. And a different nose. So if you don't recognize me, I won't be offended. Hawk: My high school spanish teacher?
George: My employer wants to see you. Hawk: The President? George: No. Someone powerful.
Darwin: What can I tell you - I'm the villan! Hawk: I guess we see who wears the penis in this family.
Enough for today kids, you can always google for more fun!
being a good programmer and being a good person are not necessarily correlated, or at least being a good programmer and being a person with whom other people want to spend a lot of time, who has good hygiene and good social skills, are not correlated
Does this game need Graphic acceleration? b/c right now my only computer is a laptop (PIII 750 w/128 mb ram) but with no graphic accelerator, and i really want to play that game!!!
From what i saw in other datacenters, part of the services they provide is backup generators for all the equipment in the datacenter, including the A/C, Routers and of course all of the computers hosted there. I mean, its a lot more reliable and cheap to have 2 or 3 big gas generators on standby wired to the internal power grid (buzzword yeaahhh!) of the datacenter than to have lotsa UPSs.
What i dont get about the NYTimes.com folks, its how they dont check that the reg free links they provide are used solely on their partners sites. I mean, if we are costing them money (we as the slashdot crowd), why dont they just check the referrer part of the HTTP request and just plainly return DENIED. I mean, their reg systems seems to be fairly inconsistent, anybody with a little time can defeat it using google, but they still ask everybody else for a reg.
They seem unable to make up their minds about the whole reg bussiness, which is kinda sad and stupid, because they are a huge media outlet.
Slashdot Mirror
LINUSCO! No more linux!

Maybe you should have bought her new hardware, that always help.
Try reading all of Matt's commentary imagining his voice like the one of Agt Smith. Listening to the 'Reloaded' soundtrack certainly helps.
You're from India right?
PS:Im from Argentina, doing freelance for the US, Europe, etc, so i can understand what the indians go through. Flame away.
For the time wasted here, i call it the slashdoton!
I feel like the proffesor from the simpsons!
Now slashdot has a few concerns about your webserver....
Let me guess, NT right?
Fell the powah of the slashdot effect!
Let me shorten the wait for you... you wont :-(
:-D

what's next? customers complaining when they get slashdotted and asking the isp to reduce the bill?
Slashdot effect: the isp killer.
How much would it take for a payload to depart from earth and arrive at the top of the elevator?

Then it's a sport!

...with all the spam replies and such he got, he now decides to take it a step further and slashdot his server!
Way to go!
Besides pricewatch.com, what other sites would you recommend for online shopping of computers?
That only applies if you are actually being PAID to work ;-)
I know, i'm rather bitter today
Because i don't believe in karma.
... Gossip for Nerds, Stuff that chatters.
I know, its not even funny.
Are you sure that was "interesting"? i thought that was a joke.
