they seem to be listing the full retail cost for the memory module. Why would toshiba be paying retail price on anything in the unit? wouldn't they be buying wholesale? if all their numbers are off, that's up to a 30% inaccurate estimate for the price of the parts. which takes away most of the 'so called loss lead per unit'
anyways, they could be taking a loss per unit, but i am really skeptical about the numbers being given in the parent article.
This issue goes deeper than just 'security' of the campers, but also to disgruntled campers taking random nude photos off the internet and claiming that they were taken at camps etc, smearing the names of camp councelors etc.
Still, most social networking sites have some kind of profile reporting system, usually staffed by volunteers, to keep nudity offline... but yeah, i can kinda see both sides of the issue on this one, both letting kids socialize, and at the same time trying to keep them safe. really it's up to the parents of the children to teach them good manners and responsibility, and how to socialize acceptably.
As to banning reality, I know quite a few people with an iron curtain of suspension of disbelief. how well it works depends on your definition of 'working.' If living inside a cave with no access in or out is your idea of a 'working security model' then feel free to enjoy the perfect harmony of letting nobody in:)
The internet distribution cost Could be very low. with suitable multicast servers if everyone watched at a predefined time etc. and network maintainence fees don't go away they just shift from the tv bill to the internet bill.
Anyways, I can't find a single point in your entire comment that i found to be in any way correct. too bad there is no 'wrong' moderation on slashdot huh.
Which firewalls can currently be used to filter, log, and block ipv6 traffic?
IPV6 definitely has been around for many years now, but none of the windows firewalls I've downloaded seemed to have any kind of configurations for logging or filtering ipv6. Sure that's 2 years away, but unless I overlooked a firewall (there are so many for windows) or they use some kind of open source package that probabbly has ipv6 firewall capability already. i have to wonder how they're going to keep secure.
Remember, Office documents have DRM capabilities, by having a plug-in that is offficial then people worried about DRM can still use the Creative Commons License to publish writings. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of DRM, but some people ask for it, so now those people can still choose to use the creative commons license with DRM protected office documents.
It's an add-in:) nobody made you download it, if you don't like it someone else already told you what you could copy/paste to acheive a non-drm version of the same thing.
All I have to say is that companies who resort to 'fraud' aren't going to be fooling anyone for very long, and in the long run they will only hurt their own reputations.
you'd be surprized who could take advantage of this single chip design.
previous 120 megapixel CCD cameras were based on multiple sensor array systems, and while i don't know where they were used most, I can think of a number of uses EG: no flash indirect light photogaphic archiving of ancient documents, maps and tapistries. as well as advertising photography for use in billboards and other large posters.
True, you don't need 120 megapixels to take a high school prom photo, but there are probabbly enough profesional uses for this camera to find a place in the market. what the size of that market is is going to take some research, which no doubt they already did.
This comment was insightful, or informative, the parent was overrated so long as his post exceeds 3 points.
i can understand why you might not know a music term like emo, but stick around the internet a while. it's an old joke. trust me. the joke is "I wish my grass was emo so it would cut itself." in this case instead of using the old joke i played on the wording and said, the submitter was so dreary and depressed, that his grass cut itself because it felt bad for him.
And you know what, i don't care if my joke was funny or not, i just explained it out fully because you asked. so for people who don't bother to use wiki or google, this was somewhat useful, but not useful enough for me to use a karma bonus.
wiki should have lightweight code:) it's run on a data center, where every operation cycle counts. yes, it's open source, that's all the more reason for the code to be light weight. if it wasn't when i said that, then it's something for the community to work on, but i believe that the code is lightweight in terms of resource usage.
perhaps the confusion you're getting from me is that i used lightweight in a non conventional way. but hey, it is still a VALID usage of lightweight. light weight in terms of 'efficient' not 'lines of code'
I find your negativity a disgusting life view:) Let me tell you a secret, wikipedia has a lightweight bit of code that lets them track how people tend to 'edit' entries. this is why certain topics have a 4-day account limit, so that code has an ability to determine how that person tends to edit or view wikipedia. I've even heard that there are two versions of wikipedia, the 'real' one, and a 'fake' one. the real one of course has the edits that are done by people who value the truth, the fake one is where people use lies to try and confuse the masses. I don't know if it's true, but seriously man, lighten up already:) it's an online dictionary, that people can edit. personally i've found so called edit wars annoying, as well as funny.
just because 'perfect' systems rely on 'perfect' input doesn't mean they can't be built. it would just get really, really mind numbingly boring if every entry on wikipedia read about as cut and dried as the typical on the shelf dictionary. the user edit process allows a lot of interesting and fun things to come about:) i think the 4-day rule is just pointless, and will ultimately be discarded.
I seem to recall wikipedia tried a ban on anonymous edits and that rule too wound up being rejected. it just didn't help the wikipedia project, so they got rid of it.
I think that AC was so emo that his grass cuts itself because it feels sorry for him.
projects can die when good coders leave, projects can have a lot of trouble dealing with bugs etc. but you know what? that's life -- wouldn't you get really bored if everything was as easy as say, snapping your fingers and poof it happened that way?
There are way more projects that are doing awesome even with all the chaos of people leaving and swapping around than those failing. it's all because you can 'use the source, luke' *hums starwars theme* master jedi can find a balance to the source, and can cut out the 'tainted' lines of code, or simply use them, to build a stable application. Just remember not to turn to the dark side young jedi, for we can always watch the fate of poor anakin, who struggles his entire life with the way he allowed his own fear to twist his fate, as he wound up being the very man who fufilled the prophecy that he dreamed would happen unless he persued great power.
ah well who really cares life would get boring if we didn't have a few crazies turning to the dark side. I'm just glad we can all choose our own destiny.
I want to do a lot of things, i want to buy a barbie doll, and a giant robot, and a hair dryer and a lot of shiny gold chains. oh wait i changed the channel now i want to buy a lot of candy bars and a a box of tampons and omg omg is that the most sexiest car ever omg wtf bbq!
now i changed channels again ahh pbs... now i want to pledge $50 to get that bag with the sesamee street character on it isn't is soo cute!
damn.. i guess i shouldn't watch so much tv when i'm living in my parents house like a good computer looser:)
I am rotflol at the pathetic effort to secure the system:) i mean heck, i'm a human/magi/robot because of them a triple class >_ with all the xp spill, and beat them with an un-powered up savior.
i'm just going to laugh for a while and then decide what i wanna do next
In practice this mouse is but another decent gamers mouse, just as good for FPSs as it is for RTSs and MMORPGS. The whole RTS/MMORPG specific thing is just a marketing gimmik of the manufacturer to try and distinguish it from the competition.
Every razer I've used has been a top class gaming mouse. I don't think it's 'just' a marketing gimick, my razer diamondback feels aqward in my hand, after years of using a MS intellimouse. sure calling it a 'rts/mmo' is a gimick, but their different mice all have slightly different body shapes. if you have a preference of mouse body type, then this is a good thing:) and yeah it has a rubber strip below the 4-5,6-7 buttons because RTS/MMO gamers tend to pick up the mouse a LOT. for lasso selects, or for other features of the games they're playing:)
In addition they could have their 'mouse drivers' pre optomized for various 'presets' that are better for experienced RTS/FPS players. while using my diamond back i found there were a lot of changes i had to make to the 'default' settings.
true i'm capable of peaking at 1200 apm when i am using both hands, and all my fingers... but yeah, there is a certain amout on marketing hype abotu the product, but that just helps people who don't know the differences between products pick the right mouse.
Guess you don't have experience with razer mice. the side buttons are usually a combined button 4-5 6-7 deal. and this is really just an update to their line, as they've had a mouse for the rts crowd before, they had just kinda tried to go with a one type of mouse for all. I've looked at the picture, and that stripe along the side looks to be the 4-5, 6-7 button a nice long one unlike the narrow one on the diamond back i have.
Razer makes good mice, but there are a lot of companies who make good mice, i was just trying to clear up your confusion about this product:) it is a 7 button mouse.
but i'm sure a lot of people forgot about this one already.. if you're gonna drink til you pass out remember to have a pot of joe in the morning to cure the hangover and keep your liver alive;)

to help you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo

I think I will go home and cry.
Don't cry, advertising will eventually be more entertaining than the television programming, oh wait they call that prime time.
when they fire plasma beams at small children.
:)
cause ya know those small children are the problem.
it's funny laugh
:) are we having fun yet?
:) i mean heck, i'm a human/magi/robot because of them a triple class >_ with all the xp spill, and beat them with an un-powered up savior.

i'm just going to laugh for a while and then decide what i wanna do next
I think you're right :) I've been working for myself, and for free sigh.
lately, i spent almost 250+ hours working the past few weeks. for myself, and it was crazy.
working too hard is a danger, because you can loose your mind.
Well they can't all be built as good as a Terminator.
Patents are absolutely unnecesary. Right now we've got them because well, they benefit certain parties. Call them patent trolls? oh yeah, I would.
:) at least there is good stuff on TV.
Seriously, Right now I'm feeling kinda crappy. Do you realize I haven't had more than a gallon of water, and like less than 4 plates of food?
And it's 4:31 am, and I'm writing on slashdot.
Sony, Virgin
:)
Yakuza, Mafia
too easy?
yeah, i had to prove i'm a crazy mofo.
What more could we need?
:)
how about games that erase the minds of any player below the age restriction? of the game i mean, duh
sure would beat trying to police the stores.
so is this really what we need? for people to believe that they should focus on slow, perfection?
:) guess that's why i'm living in my parents house instead of some nice big house somewhere.
heh, i focused on quality and speed, but sucked at both
