I'm jealous of everyone who got their accounts boosted to 2 GB and 100MB. I'm still sitting at 25MB with my paid account. Wonder when they'll get to me?
I mean... on one hand, you have these Pagan type rituals being performed at night, on the other hand you have picutres of Bush Jr./Sr., Cheney, major Dems and Reps., and many other world leaders and major political/business heads there during the day.
Previously I would listen to right-wing blowhard Limbaugh followed by Randi Rhodes on WJNO
Rush is a blowhard but Randi Rhodes is what... ??? She's just plain fucking trash. She's a trashy woman with a horrible show. She's fucking vile. Talk about "hate radio". Even my mother, a life-long NOW supporter, Bush-hater, and very strong liberal finds her views disgusting, insulting, and ridiculous.
I'm still confused why people listen to either Rush or her. There is much much much better conservative radio available. He is a conservative, but respectful and intelligent, very different from Rush. He is also strongly Jewish, which puts a slightly different spin on things.
Air America Radio has one decent show, and that's Al Franken's show, but even that is seriously lacking in many areas. It still has the feel of badly produced college radio.
A lot of it ends up being pseudo-science at best (but still somewhat interesting), but Coast To Coast AM (Art Bell, George Noory) does In fact have some real scientists on. They have a 3+ month archive of their old shows in, get this, MP3 format. It does have a $6.99 monthly fee. Obviously a lot of it is annoying rubish, but some is actually pretty good. I enjoy the show, but I've really only bought into one of the conspiracy theory/UFO/ghost topics.
I think computers only care about special binary birthdays. "I'm 110101 years old? So what? I'm looking forward to my 1000000 birthday party! That'll be the day! And don't even get me started about the day I turn 10000000!!!!"
Exactly... there are a lot of old computers out there and a 53rd birthday is nothing special (nor, really, is a 50th birthday, but we do attach meaning to that)
you're not paying for content if you paid for AIM, you would pay for the service. You provide the content, they provide the service to get it to the people who you want to get it to
Well, Microsoft and I get our numbers from our astrologist.
It's just so damn interesting to read how no one on slashdot knows anyone who uses modded Xboxes and PS2s, etc etc, to play pirated games. Everyone always just knows lots of people who want to just stream media, and be friendly, and pet little animals, and that's why they modded their Xbox.
people use mod chips to play pirated games, but punish that act, not the modding of the box
I'm not saying that you should be punished for modding an xbox, it's just that the comparison to the car issue is a little stretched. The main issue with the car codes is that since manufacturers don't make them available to the smaller/independent repair shops, the smaller repair shops can't fix people's cars. A lot of people have readers for their cars so they can diagnose things. Yeah, some people will mod their engine, but that breaks the warranty.
Most common use for modchips: pirating games (illegal)
Most common use for car codes: fixing your car (legal - but most likely won't be possible with future cars)
The similarity is that game makers make less money if you pirate a game (instead of buying it). Car dealers/manufacturers make less money if you fix your own car (and down pay for their overpriced service and "genuine rippof parts").
RJ-11 Jacks, you mean. RJ-45 are the net connectors
Net connectors? Strange... at work we use these "net connectors" for lots of devices that will never see the "net". RJ-45 is just a type of plug. There are phones that take RJ-45. The most common use for RJ-45 is network cables, but it is not the only use (or anywhere near the only use). Same goes for RJ-11
Cruising with Trolls, ACs, & Foes at -6 and feeling fine.
The strange thing is, I started to enjoy slashdot more after I dropped my threshold to -1. Why some of the crap can get annoying, it's a much less filtered discussion (posts that go against the slashdot groupthink can actually be read)
Slashdot Mirror
we might as well crash isc.incidents.org
Hmmm... I post this, and a second later my yahoo account has 2GB of storage... maybe that's the key? Complain on slashdot and get more storage?
And no ads finally. I really don't like paying for sites and still having to see their banner ads.

sorry... but slashdot has had stories on this about 40 times now
It's getting absolutely ridiculous. NOTHING NEW HAS COME OUT! JUST SOME STUPID FUCKING MOCKUPS!
give me a break
you should see the videos... at the site I linked. There are short clips there.
Not saying it has to be totally legit, but it is very interesting, in my opinion.
How in the world is that post "flamebait"????????
Ok... now I'm really really really confused.
Man... I'm trying to remember... the one about the meeting place in California where all the top world politicians go... oh yes... the Bohemian Grove
Although mainly propagated (sp?) by Alex Jones, who is somewhat of a nut, the hidden video he got of it is very interesting, to say the least.
I mean... on one hand, you have these Pagan type rituals being performed at night, on the other hand you have picutres of Bush Jr./Sr., Cheney, major Dems and Reps., and many other world leaders and major political/business heads there during the day.
This site has the MP3s from the show when Alex Jones was on. It was very interesting to say the least.

Somewhat real scientists that have been on the show (And are In the current archive):
Paul Davies - Understanding the Universe
Brian Greene - Physics of the Universe
Kevin Mitnick - Hacking A To Z
Robert Hogg - JPL robotics engineer - The State of Robotics
And others...
The MP3s are great for listening to at work and have most/all of the commercials removed.
And then of course, you get all of the great tinfoil hat callers. It's also good for falling asleep to at night.
Yes, because as we all know, late term abortions are constituionally established rights.
And besides, the consitution is too crisp and brittle to be used as toilet paper. (this is a joke - so relax)
good point... it should have been posted at least 3 or 4 times now

don't use the GUI stuff for network administration. Take a look at ipconfig and netsh (in Windows 2000/XP/2003)

But I have fifteen years of Unix adminning experience, and zero Windows experience.
Silly hobbit. Go put together a cheap wintel box, download the Windows server 2003 trial and poke around.
They changed the inside of their fucking case around! OH MY GOD!

That's a reference :p
One kilogram of fusion fuel would produce the same amount of energy as 10,000,000 kg of fossil fuel.
How much energy do they estimate it will take to create (and control?) that one kilogram of "fusion fuel"?
