Or are we off the subject of geek girls in teeshirts? =]
Yeah, probably.:)
In which case, doesn't painting it increase the liklihood of overheating the circuitry?
Possibly. What I had in mind was painting over the glittery bits of the board (save any interconnecting bits) with a thin coat of primer then dousing it in thermal grease if necessary.
(might overheat the geek girl, too-- but in that case it's a positive thing.)
I've not had a girlfriend yet in life... many of those who know me would say that there are good reasons for that. Ah, well, I'm not even to college yet.:P
Heh... should've included a YMMV disclaimer. The server that provides my e-mail is set up not to accept any incoming mail claiming to be from source addresses outside of the source server's domain.
turn on "enable-bounce-cmd" in your prefs. Open the spam, hit "B", tippity-tap out the source e-mail address (or flex your gpm muscles if you're so inclined), and off it goes back to the sender; alternately, do your best to fudge a mailer daemon bounce. When they get the message, 9 times out of 10, they stop sending. Failing that, just redirect known bad domains (I do this with Yahoo and Hotmail because I don't know anybody who uses those accounts) into a spam folder; check it occasionally to make sure the signal-to-noise ratio is non-zero.
It's not worth getting all hot and bothered over some "INCREDIBLE MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY" someone felt like telling you about.
On another note, check out somethingawful's pranks section under spam for Lowtax's take on the whole thing.:)
And dinner... aside from the misspelling, The New Hacker's Dictionary defines "dynner" as 32 bits. So, 32 bits from/dev/random,/etc, and a Windows kinda-but-not-really-emulator. Sounds just fine with me...
That's right! Same place we get it right now...fossil fuels!
However, the consumption of fossil fuels will take place in a bunch of central locations that can have their emissions regulated more easily than a zillion cars. In addition, nuclear, solar, wind, and biomass plants can chip in at least a bit.
I've noticed that/. uses the word 'interesting' when an article/review/benchmark doesn't show the community's favoured product (linux/AMD/ATI) as a superior one.
90% (a rough estimate) of all Linux gamers (including myself) use nVidia products, simply because outside of the nVidia drivers (and possibly Radeon, but I've been hearing mixed reports about them) there are no good drivers. I gave up my 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 (currently sitting on the floor in the box for my new video card) a couple months ago because:
a) No Linux support for the second chip on it, making it equivalent to a Voodoo4 4500 but with extra heat output;
b) Awful, X-killing crashes when I play games for extended periods of time (about 3 hours of Quake3 or half an hour of T2 in one session);
and c) Tribes2 didn't render the ground correctly (possibly a multitexture bug).
AFAICT, the results are only "interesting" because they show that price-performance-wise, the Ge4's aren't all that hot.
I'm not the one to look up previous articles, but I do recal (sic) some benchmarks (biased or not) where NT/2000 did something better than Linux.
Ahh, yes. The Mindcraft tests, ideal fodder for M$ marketroids and people who jump to conclusions easily.
If any Linuxers here haven't heard of this, I'll sum it up in a couple sentences. Mindcraft takes two boxen. They stick Windows 2000, tweaked for hours by Microsoft employees, on one, and jam RedHat Linux 7.1 out-of-the-box on another. They have a fight, 2000 wins, Windows 2000, Windows 2000.
The poster stated that the results were "interesting".
Because they went against every single benchmark that had been released before them, and Microsoft's involvement with the testing seemed suspicious.
I think this is slashdot's attempt to hide the truth that it is possible for the 'evil' corporation to do something good.
Why, precisely, would they want to do this? Hell, they get flamed both ways, anyway!
On another note, who else thinks that it is pointless to use Q3 as a benchmark.
If not for the fact that it is the most widely-distributed FPS in play today, with the possible exception of Half-Life (which is Windows-only... never did get to see what the hell it was all about), it might be pointless. It tends to be a CPU-dependent benchmark, but that's why they have other benchmarks (3DMark2000, Max Payne, Aquanox, Giants, and that kick-ass engine demo they used...)
Lard meatloaf is sure to please the toughest customer with its wonderful aroma and super-duper looks. Working with ketchup is fun and easy. The Vietnamese usually eat this dish with their hands.
First, preheat the oven to 100 and grease a 8x21" casserole dish.
Start by laying the lard in the casserole dish like you're on a cooking show.
Next, mix in cabbage quickly with your hands. (careful, it is a tasty treat!)
Then, mix in ketchup gently with a large spoon.
Spread the garlic.
Mix in celery quickly.
Cook 30 minutes or until dark brown.
While you're waiting, did you know that lard is made of pure yum?

Only one question remains: will your sentence be measured in jiffies, ticks, cycles, microseconds, or milliseconds? ;)
Heh... at least on the rev. 2 IM Optical, you can remove the M$ logo with a pencil eraser. Looks better than cutting it off with a knife, I'd think.
Oh, yeah, I bet that'd work reeeeal well...

Groening's already said that this is the last season. Kiss the Simpsons goodbye. :(
so we get to watch our neighbors X-10 cameras.

Hell, that might work for you if you live next to a model or movie star. I live next to a slaughterhouse and proctologist. Where does that leave me?
7:59 - "Bleeding edge" kernel hackers start downloading it
8:30 - download finally is over, start unpacking it
What the hell kind of Internet connection are you on that you can pull down almost 30 megs in 31 minutes? Can I have it?
/me goes back to patching his kernel tree from 2.4.2 to 2.4.17 because the patch he just tried to apply fluffed it up...

Oh, and you can prevent your inbox from being cramed with that crap by just filtering out the words "free" "offer" "you've won" etc.
;)
That tactic doesn't work here, since I subscribe to the dri-devel ML, which has a lot of messages about XFree86.

Although, I'm afraid they've neglected the glitter. Such a shame.
;)
Hey, glitter's fine with me if it's wrapped around a sufficiently powerful bit of circuitry. After all, you can always paint over it.
Ahh, w00t... I need to find my copy in that case. :)
we've got a new addition for the geek cookbook!
The nerve of this person, cooking a Palm in an oven!
Everyone knows you're supposed to barbecue them!
Heh... AFAIK, no can do. This one, IIRC, was exclusively in the book called Build a Better Life By Stealing Office Supplies".

I'll still take the karma, tho.

Just to whet your collective appetites:
"Lard Meatloaf

1. 3/4 cup lard
2. 1 gallon cabbage
3. 2 tsp. ketchup
4. 9 tbsp. garlic
5. 3 pinches celery

This dish is best served warm."
In occurrences like that, I prefer to cache the record on the cover of the phone book to reduce access times.
