How the hell to I make sure these regulations go through? I've got a ton of hatred giving me motivation.
Back "in the day", when horses were really important in daily life, when you were given a horse (a "gift horse") it was considered impolite to "look it in the mouth" for various problems. You just said, "THANKS!" and shut the fuck up. If it had problems, well, tough titties. Be happy you got a free horse.
FYI, when you run the client (at least on my Win2k machine), your CPU utilization goes to 100% - it takes over from the system's idle process. So your power consumption does go up.
Of course the boss will listen when I direct him to a site that has lots of info for OMG M4D OvErClOkAz n GaMaZ! Once I get it set up, we'll have a lively benchmarking session and talk about heatsink compounds. Yes. This will happen.
I submitted a story on the OpenBeOS renaming as well, and it got rejected.
It was a well-crafted story submission. I took a cheap shot at Microsoft and left some room open for michael to put in one of his self-righteous, prejudiced angsty-teenager bylines.
This post has the exact same tone and feel as michael's news posting, yet is rated -1. Why the fuck is that?
The parent post is trolling. It is flamebait, but so are many of the articles as posted by editors. Their little jibes in the "from the so-and-so dept." are proof.
Please stop being hypocrites, mods. Michael is just as big a troll as anyone else here.
Even a solid iron case doesn't fully attenuate RFI and EMI. Maximum attenuation in these situations is around 99dB, unless you're in Mountain Iron, MN.:)
The spray-on shielding in laptops, ironically, is slightly better because it carries less dynamic current.

And I was just getting ready to start a "Mandrake is dying" troll thing going. It's no fun now that it's really happening.
Jesus cockgobbling christ, Slashdot. Your editors are SHIT.
Jesus, slashdot is worse than the patent office - too many fucking dupes!

I've heard mention that there's intense radiation near Jupiter, but never any indication what kind.
There's all kinds - radiation is a catch-all for radiated energy - so it's pretty nonspecific.
I can't imagine it's X-Rays, so it's likely EM stuff all over the place. Anyone know for sure?
Whoa. The patent office and Slashdot have something in common.
Hey! Some pale freak just rode down my street on a horse! WTF is that all about?
And my neighbor's pig... just... flew across the field!
You stupid fuck.

It's on CNN too.
FP.
What's odd is that it's usually michael that makes the snide remarks. He's famous for his trolling, flamebaiting "from the ... dept." lines, too.
Perhaps michael had a sleepover at Rob's house and forgot to login as himself to post the story.
cocksucking fags.
Fags.
Also, did you realize that michael is a trolling, flamebaiting cunt?
It's true. Oh, yes.

It's a joke.
And here I thought all American Slashdot readers were loyal fans of Conan O'brien and Triumph. Woe is me.
You're a HUGE nerd.
This post has the exact same tone and feel as michael's news posting, yet is rated -1. Why the fuck is that?
The parent post is trolling. It is flamebait, but so are many of the articles as posted by editors. Their little jibes in the "from the so-and-so dept." are proof.
Please stop being hypocrites, mods. Michael is just as big a troll as anyone else here.
Whoa, dude! Slashdot's my source for extreme programming! Far out!
Jesus, I'm like a sponge for shitty marketing drivvel.
"Ah, nothing like satire that only a small group will truly grok."
Just like Lunix howtos.
