I think that this may be due to some strange Japanese obsession with anything American. Ever taken apart a mid-period Power Mac? Everything's plastic and snaps into place with little clips. All I have to do is take the back panel off my 8100, and i can disassemble the rest of the machine into parts. They certainly did a lot of time into designing the chassis and whatnot.
I can totally see the Japanese obsessing over collecting something so quirkily American, so identifiable with our culture.
On the contrary, I find that smoking is a HORRIBLE detriment to productivity. I'm a six-year smoker, desperately trying to quit. Why? Because like Pavlov's dog, every time that clock comes close to the top of the hour, I start to fiddle with stupid shit and just read slashdot until the hour comes, then I go take a break. Sure, for 45 minutes, it's all good, but 25 percent of my workday is spent going "Well, fuck, I need a smoke."
Quit now, and go out and have a piece of gum or candy, or something like that for your interruptions. Don't treat such an addictive chemical like a "diversion" - it's a slave master. And you're the slave.
That's not the discussion, though. We're talking about destroying data that is presumably secure enough to be on ONE computer, with no physical network connection present ever, not cute tricks with packet sniffers.
Well, now I'm replying to your statement that it was offtopic. I think that it was. But the true point of this post was to prove that even though you're replying to a reply on the original subject, you're not on topic. Is this post on topic? No.
Interesting. I do remember reading that one of the core functionalities of AGP was that low-end card could store textures in system memory.
I don't think this would make a communications-based card any faster, however. Unless you want to cache commonly-used packets for faster sending, heheh.
So, let me get this right. The inability to legally purchase a service gives you the right to steal it? Just because it's not for sale doesn't mean that you can steal it. The end result is the same - you get service without paying for it.
Hell, i'm not PERMITTED to buy Cuban cigars, so I guess that it's ok to steal them.
I'd much rather hammer on the alt-tab combo to get to the window I want (I usually have about 8 browsers open, but am actively switching between two to four) and keeping my left hand on the KB for CTRL+V/CTRL/C than fuddling around with browser tabs.
I can see it now. Slashdotters bitching because their "lite" version holds only 100 gb, and transfers at only 20 gb/sec, costing anything more than 300 bucks.
This has absolutely no relevance to the desktop PC world unless you're NFS mounting this fucker over an OC-192 plugged straight into your network. And even then a good fast SCSI chain will do just as well.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh Lord, I can see the auction titles now.
"FIRST CLASS! Slightly used moon capsule, 8/10, L@@K!"
"Tired of having no way to get to low earth orbit? Click here! BEST SHUTTLE ON EBAY!"
"VINTAGE EMPTY SATURN ROCKET STAGE--W0W! MAKES GREAT GRAIN SILO!"
(and yes, i know they're buying, not selling.)
Not any more. :)
:D
tsk, tsk. Silly people posting things like that on SLASHDOT, of all places.

Have you ever stood less than ten feet from an operating cell phone?
:)
Have you ever used a microwave?
Have you ever driven under a high-tension line?
You probably got thirty times the exposure that you would get with a lifetime of 802.11. Don't sweat it a bit.
I had luck doing it twice. Do it, get the error, back up and try it again. I promise, it works. and it's pretty fscking cool. Rrrrrrrispekt.
Well, if it's Windows, that's probably already the case. :)
No.
Digital --> Analog --> Digital --> Analog --> Digital isn't much of a way to transfer data.
This is why people's dialup connect speeds are hard-limited at 26.4 or 28.8 when the telco multiplexes their phone line.

This class would have helped her a shitload seven years ago. :)

Dude, it's Lumbergh! He's a sucker for those nice red Swinglines, ya know.
Fucking moron of the day, I swear.
That's a cool-ass site.
Methinks you need to curtail your RAM purchases and buy yourself a real CPU.

AGP = Accelerated Graphics Port. Useless for anything except video cards at this point.
... and hope they don't ban crypto as well
Heh. You can hope in one hand, and shit in the other, and you tell me which one fills up first.
We need money, effort, publicity and a reasonable percentage of politicians bribed to accept our cause, just like the other guys.

Show me a fuel line that's clamped with hose clamps. A simple URL is all that's necessary.
Hose clamps are 99 percent reliable, but that 1 percent could translate into 10,000 randomly exploding cars each and every year.

Hey, even great minds need to rub one out now and then.
You might want to consider going to a real college, then.

True that. I picked up a copy of Helmet's Betty for $3.99 yesterday at the local Hastings. Not a single scratch.
I don't care how broke you are - selling music like that is a cardinal sin.
Right.
