But if they aren't being sent, then they don't need to be processed through the post office, which would save money and keep costs down as well.
Plus, with people not signing up for AOL, that's less access to email and more people writing snail mail, so there's your revenue source right back again.
I can't remember the exact details of this one, but...
I had an instructor who took a paint can with the lid attached. There was a hole in the middle of the lid, and a hole on the side of the can at the bottom. He used the bottom hole to pump the can fill of methane, then lit a match at the top hole where a small flame appeared.
He then continued to lecture as the methane in the can burned, rising in the can and being replaced by air coming in through the side hole.
Everyone had pretty much forgotten about it when the last bit of methane burned out and the flame dipped inside the can. The explosion blew the lid to the roof of the two-story lecture hall!
Yeah, but to keep some of those titles, imagine how fast VirtualPC could run under this processor!

Self-Cleaning Glass

· Score: 2
If it can self-remove the fingerprints that my monitor attracts from people that think they actually need to touch the glass to point something out, I'm all for it!
An even better solution is one that can deliver a small electric shock if your finger makes contact with the glass...
Not to be a troll or anything, but how different is this from Apple and AirPort?
M$ just wants to see if they can get a piece of the WI-FI pie
I'd only be concerned if they decide to come up with their own flavor of 802.11 that only works with the latest version of the OS and forces you to upgrade to be able to keep using it.
I've been in enough races where there is so little wind, that no one even starts. You just float, sometimes drifting backwards.
Sometimes, if you're lucky, there might be enough of a breeze that a half hour after the gun goes off, you finally make it across the line.
In the series that I raced in, there was a two-hour time limit to finish. Even with the race shortened to the first mark, still no one finishes. Usually those kind of races degenerate into water balloon fights once everyone realizes that all the tech in the world isn't going to get you moving anywhere.
Granted, these boats are nowhere near as advanced as the Cup boats are, but it is still possible to have so little wind that there might as well be none.
Umm... why would one of your squishy MP3's show up on someone else's system? If it is, then one of two things probably happened: he really did steal it, or you gave it to him, in which case, that's what this is intended to prevent.
Honestly, I don't see anyone really using this to encode music. What this will be good for is downloading music directly from a record company. I have an account, pay my 25 cents, and download a song that has been pre-encoded with something that associates the song with me, and giving me a disincentive to give it away.
I'm not sure what version of MacOS he's running, but you could set the automatic shutdown and startup to bracket the times that you are sleeping/at work to save a bit on the screen and battery.
We just turned down an applicant, partly due to poor spelling on her resume. This was a scientific position which requires careful attention to detail. If she couldn't be bothered to run a spellcheck on her resume, why should we assume that she wouldn't take the same attitude to her work with us?
I'm thinking that they screwed up on the numbering from the get go. The first release should have been MacOS X v1.0. Instead of 10.0.1 and 10.0.2, those should have been 1.1 and 1.2.
The 10.1 release should have been MacOS X 2.0 (with 10.1.1-10.1.5 being 2.1-2.5), and Jaguar should be 3.0
I (and many others) am wondering what is going to come after MacOS X 10.9. "Oh-es ten version eleven" is going to sound pretty funny...
Slashdot Mirror
But the Metropolitan Police lost its appeal and has been ordered to pay £850, plus legal costs.
Hmm. That should be just about enough cash for the BBC to pay for the special effects to film another episode...
And in the "quiz", the correct answer for "What does TARDIS stand for?", the D stood for Dimensions

Fill a funnel with sawdust and attach a hose to the end. Blow the sawdust out towards a flame and get a huge fireball.
In a suprising move, I predict Disney rises to power and causes Florida to seceed from the Union, naming the new country "The United State of Mickey".
Ever see an Iridium Flare?
...and the first story is a repost... ;-)
Happy Birthday!

Ah, but what about
Beowulf clusters of these?
Karma sinks like stone.
Of course, the ones you buy it with will be "economy" coolant cartridges and only half full, so you'll have to buy a new one almost right away...
The real advance would be if it achieved sentience and went crazy and became a graffiti taggin' super robot
How about letting it wander around town looking for wireless hookups, and then marking where they are, warchalking style.
Of course, I just had a vision of this thing dressed up like a dog, going around and "marking" it's territory...
Cool vistas? How about Dances With Wolves? With the sound system that most IMAX theatres have, the buffalo hunt would be awesome.
Perhaps they've improved on this process?
