I would think that since the display is typically the biggest load on the battery of a portable device (laptop/handheld/etc.) that they will have to work really hard to get a decent amount of time with those big bright displays lit up. If you were using it as an e-book reader you would need the battery to last longer than a few hours.
I still think that Team Fortress Classic is one of the best mods ever done for halflife. It was the reason I bought halflife... I enjoyed playing TFC so much. I never played the single-player version of halflife... but the mod motivated me to make the purchase.
I would think that when you need a water cooled solution for a laptop, it is using too much power. If a large amount of heat is being generated, then large amounts of power are being used. Then add to the mess the amount of power a pump would require to cirulate the fluid... I doubt there is enough difference in temerature from the hot leg to the cold leg to facilitate natural cirulation without pumps...
I guess you could run it on a fission pressurised water reactor and have plenty of power though... and long times between refueling (though you might not want to store it on your lap anymore)
I work for a large printer manufacturer and we produce color laser printers, and color laser printer/copiers.
The is an arrangemnet that all "Color Copies" carry a "Signature" of the machine that made the color copy. This signature reveals the serial number and model number of the copier that produced it. It was done in an effort to track conterfeiting.
For example... if you walk up to a Color LaserJet 8550 MFP and make a copy from the scanner, it will have a series of tiny yellow dots that the naked eye can not detect under normal lighting. If you look at the copy under magnification with a blue light you can see the dots. These dots are the signature...
However...
If you scan a $100 dollar bill on your desktop scanner... then print it on the Same Machine it will not have the signature... as it is a 'print' and not a 'copy'.
This is not 'Compaq' news... the merger has not even begun, and it is looking like it may not happen. I think you could find a better category for this story.
Even in windows XP... right-click icon, choose "Open With", choose "Choose Program...", then click the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."
Hardly only buried in the "folder options" as the article indicates.
HP will support our customers using versions 6.0 and 7.0 of the product for the next five years until March 31st 2006. The new 7.0 release further strengthens OpenMail's ability to support thousands of users per server and provide rich functionality when connected to the Outlook client. Support for OpenMail 5.10 continues until 31st October 2001.
While preparing for the quinticentenial celebrations for general Custer's last
stand in little big-horn, the commitee turned to a very big modern artist in
New York, and asked him to make a painting for the occasion.
Anyway, after some three months, and several hundreds of thousands of
dollars, came the big moment. A whole lot of people gathered in a huge hall,
with the media, politicians, and everyone who is anyone. Camera clicking, the
microphones turning here and there...
Then came the moment of revealing the picture. The artist takes off the
cover, and everybody, but EVERYBODY, falls silent. The cameras stop clicking,
and everyone is in total shock.
In the middle of the picture, with a halo over its head, stands a huge cow.
Around it, depicted in detail, are hundreds of couples of indians copulating.
Well, after a few seconds a newspapermen stands up and asks the artist,
hesitantly: "excuse me, but can you enlighten those of us who are ignorant in
the ways of modern art and explain the picture?"
"OK", says the artist. "I was thinking to myself, about Custer climbing that
hill, and beholding all the indians waiting for him there, and I told myself
that probably the first thing that came into his mind was: "holy cow, look at
all those fucking indians!" "

Better yet burn pirated copies of Adobe e-books that were unlocked using Dmitri's program.
PPPoE would save them IP addresses where there is more than one device connected through a DSL modem. If four of your buddies hook up to your intranet on PPPoE your DSL modem would assign internal IPs to their machines... versus the 5 real IPs you would be using on straight DHCP.
My ISP tried this about
a year ago... everyone was in bridging mode, and they wanted to switch everyone
to PPP. They were running out of IP addresses, and thought that PPP would be
a good solution. Another problem they had in bridging mode, was that they could
not tell who was causing a duplicate IP if someone decided to put another person's
IP on one of their machines. PPP was supposed to solve these issues. They faught
with trying to get everyone moved to PPP mode, but it caused some incompatibilities
with certain web services (online gaming, dialpad were two I knew about). They
then reconsidered their move and encouraged people to go to PPP mode, but if
they had a need to use bridging mode they let them stay with it.
I never did have to switch...:-)... They have been a pretty good ISP.
Puffer fish are so cool. If prepared incorrectly for sushi, people can die.
They are also known to cause mild hallucinagenic effects. I think the Iron Chefs
should be preparing Fugu.
(puffer fish sushi) =)
I've spent 4 years working in reactor chemistry, and over the 4 years have recieved 492 mrem of ionizing radiation exposure.
When you train in a nuclear frield (I did with the US Navy) they basically tell you that small somatic doses of radiation are practically harmless. The real danger lies in a large chronic dose.
We were always told that once a cell was radiated, for things could occur. The cell could have a good daughter, a bad daughter, a dead daughter, or no daughter. One of those things is not like the others, it's the bad daughter. It's cancer.
Statistically if you are exposed to 1000 mrem (with data collected from Chernobyl) you increase your risk of cancer 0.06%. I would be curious to see if scientits will say is a dose that could change your DNA.
If all technically inept people were sent off to these camps, what would tech support agents do for humor?.. I found that when I worked tech support, these people were the rare few who brought a little humor into my day. I say... let em keep calling. It is a rare bit of laughter that you have when a grandma calls in complaining that the "pedal" for her computer doesn't work. "it's a computer, not a sewing machine ma'am."
Let's see... the article said they downloaded the data from the Russians computers without a warrant... and the tactics they used for obtaining the passwords are extremely questionable, and probably border on entrapment.
It is interesting to see the double-standard with which the U.S. Government operates. I'm sure I would be prosecuted to high heaven if I tried to hack into Bill Clinton's computer to get the skinny on what went on between him and Monica.
All your evidence is belong to US!

The new slashdot subscription service:
Each month they publish a mens magaizine with comprimising photos of cowboyneal, and steamy letters of nerd love.
Great bathroom reading material.

Nothing like sitting down to a hot bowl of eggs and macaroni & cheese.
That's a meal that will keep our soldiers sane. The three great tastes that go great together!
I looks fine on my Mac under OS X with both IE 5.1 and Mozilla 0.9.7.
Maybe the problem is on older browsers. I have never been a big fan of frames, but I think they're used fairly tastefully on that site.

The short answer to this is No...
