yea, and i know a TON of people in their senior years that would benefit from exercise, not lazyness.
and if you say they cant walk....well, the probably shouldnt be doing much standing either.
but seriously, the best thing for the elderly is use of their body, not the lack of using it. depending on a device as this to move around would only cause their condition to worsen.
and you really cant do anything about your windows - send it off to a armored car company and have thick bullet-proof glass put in which may cost more than your car is worth? when you could buy a lock/chain that would still be a fraction of a cost of a segway....
or maybe just drive the damn thing into your garage.
well, front page anyway, and looked at 'the masterpeace'
what i want to know, is can i get it without the computer?
i mean, i have enoguh of my own machines here, i dont want to spend a butt load of cash for a desk/station and get an extra computer. i want to know what the price is for the unit alone.
play station pocket, play station palm, play sation portable, play station punani?
i think this is some sort of joint venture between sony and best buy.
Scenario: *customer walks into local best buy* BB Sales Ass.: "Hi, how may I help you today? Customer: "Uh..yea, I'd like that new Sony PSP." *BB Sales Ass. hands customer swanky new gadget* BB Sales Ass.: "OK, here you go!" *customer walks to cashier* BB Cashier: "So, would you like a PSP?" *customer just assumes she's some dumb blonde* *customer nods head* Customer, speaking slowly: "Yeeessss." *cashier gives him a Performance Service Plan (PSP)*
note: Avg Best Buy Customer would not notice what they are paying for. Most Best Buy managers encourage this sort of rape. And yes, I know the customer should notice what would probably be around a $20 dollar fee. Seriously, most wouldn't.
thats because what you said is so true cartoons nowadays are crap
unoriginal and just plain unentertaning.
truly, nothing beats the merry melodies of times gone by.
and what memories they are. sure they wre violent, but everyone laughed then, everyone knwe they were jokes.
no we have tv, movies, and NEWS conveying violence to kids that is just so much more believeable and true to life.
and people blame the games and cartoons.
have you turned on the tv lately? notice how much violence and gore is glorified? no wonder we have such fucked up kids today - we plaster the most dsiturbing incidents right on the front page.
go ahead, ask yourself hwo is truly to blame.
and damn did i get way off topic/me goes to search for another beer
Musicians will have to make a living from live performances.
what's so bad about that?
well, of course, unless they suck...they will starve. i have no problem there, get rid of all the garbage out there.
I support bands I like, I faithfully purchase cd's of bands that deserve my money.
oh, and allthose cd's have been copied, and I use the copied versions instead, as it doesn't matter when the copies get scratched/destroyed.
I have lost many a CD through theft and just scratches. Lost a couple to actually just being played so much (yes, the laser eventually burned visible lines in the disc)
I've already purchased the CD, so why in the heck should I have to purchase another one?
and if i don't ahve it backed up, shouldn't I be able to go d/l it somewhere?
and when you are in a typing application in linux, the keys still type the same characters as they do in windows.
file->save and file-> print are still there
like most have mention, automounting is now a pretty standard feature. not only that, but most distros also put a little shortcut right on the desktop for the typing impaired that you can right click on to mount/umount.
You also don't necesarrily have to push linux to every desktop machine, but it does make a wonderfull replacement OS for your servers, saving you at least a bit of money there. And if your sysadmins can't operate Linux, that's just plain sad.
it also does uncompressed audio too..in 96/24, which isn't bad.
it's just that directly to mp3 is a nice feature, especially if you want to quickly distribute the files, great for someone who freely trades their music.
now i know everyone wants to see...say it with me now...OGG support...hah.
that's supposed to be funny.... *looks down, and walks away*
blast weeds with a 50-mph stream of weedkiller from about 8 inches away. The spray device is smaller than a box of doughnuts and accurate to within a centimeter.
Hmm...somehow that doesn't seem right...in a closed enviroment maybe..., but I'm sure that wind would throw that 1cm accuracy off being sprayed from that far away. Anyone have a garden? No mater large or small, there's always bound to be weeds growing directly underneath and alongside of your plants. Even if controlled by a human driver (yea, it's not even really that automated yet, is it?) I still imagine it's not that accurate- yet. 10 years. I think sooner if it is to actually pan out, I'm sure we can reach this technology in 5 years...
i saw this yesterday...and basically, what it comes down to is this:
Artic Silver is conductive. People that do not know how to use the stuff properly have fried their processors.
'nuff said.
any other thermal paste is fine, providing it doesn't have tiny metal shavings in it.
so your cheapo go from radio shack will be fine, and no, they won't burn your warranty if you take off the crappy TIM.
You can still use AS(2, duh - you want to be able to upgrade, right?) just make sure it's off when you send it in;o)
kinda like getting an auto manufacturer to cover that transmission that you blew up doing burnouts - if you don't clean all the rubber from the wheel wells, and the tires are noticeably more worn than the non-drive wheels, they probably will tell you where to go.
Just use the stuff with some knowledge, and you'll be ok.
Slashdot Mirror
yea, but that would have pissed the U.S. off to no end.
even more amazing (and funnier) is that the NYT's article is ommited from the displayed results.
and further, that the link to the slashdot article rates higher..
that is a wonderfull idea.
;o)
bestoy this man with mod points...
(and go patent the idea while he checks his karma)

seriously, for anyone that knows what they are messing with when changing these settings - don't you already know that it increases performance?
must be a slow day.
don't tell the RIAA! ;oP

i mean, i have enoguh of my own machines here, i dont want to spend a butt load of cash for a desk/station and get an extra computer. i want to know what the price is for the unit alone.
this looks great for people with limited space.

no wonder you have such a hard time using linux.
it's umount, not "unmount"
and when you are in a typing application in linux, the keys still type the same characters as they do in windows.
file->save and
file-> print are still there
like most have mention, automounting is now a pretty standard feature. not only that, but most distros also put a little shortcut right on the desktop for the typing impaired that you can right click on to mount/umount.

but this would be great to use for mass storage, and get rid of those hard drives with moveable parts.
;o)
mmmm...solid state hard drives
a secure computer does not allow booting from removeable media, network. It has a password protected BIOS, and a good strudy locked case.
;oP
and lacks an operating system, or any information for that matter
go try one of the direct links to d/l, or see how long that movie takes to load.
then tell me that this commercial site isnt being affected by some serious surfage.
best patent that idea...
ooh..trolling = profit
aww..cmon, someone chime in with the profit model, and something about soviet russia, this wont be a good post w/o it...
*shrug*
read the rest of the text...

you just forgot to check the anonymous box, admit it..
another mirror.
for good measure.
yea, i've been hitting the refresh button myself.
(and you took my idea you bastard.)
if you don't know what i'm talking about, go here.

and the implications that could have..
but I got tired of reading through the posts...

kinda funny, just read the submission page
'how many hours a day do you spend outside'
wonder how many of us were startled by the lack of a '0 hours' option
heh
yea, and must of us that are unemployed here i would also imagine to be in tech-related fields.
/. crowd a bit?
so wouldn't that kind of make his idea apply to the
and of course, how much information is disseminated from here through us geeks?
i'm sure a lot of it is. after all, what good is all this information (news sites in general) if it isn't passed on?
that will be great bragging rights
(depending how you look at it)
