30 to 40 mins. of that steamy Liv Taylor scene...no wait that would a different movie, but I would like to know why Peter Jackson didn't include a wet t-shirt scene when she was escaping the ring wraiths in the river. Think DVD pause and Zoom.
Ok, great I live in CA but what if the spammer doesn't? I mean its a great first step, but as with any of the future laws that will regulate internet usage (good or bad) jurisdiction will be THE problem. Unless its passed by the US Congess etc. would it begin to have power and thats not going to happen for awhile a really..really long while.
Also, No comment by the EFF yet, I'm really interested in what they think of this definition of spam can be used inapporitly to negate free speech.
A little offtopic but..The sound editor for WCII was fun for loading monty python bites for my extremely addicted frat brother in college. He would camp out in front of my computer almost everynight for hours, evuntally I "crashed..wink..wink.." my computer and lost the only copy of the game I had. The next day he bought another copy from Best Buy. Also If you didn't know you can play the WCII CD in the cd player and hear the background music.
I download the RH 7.2 iso last night to install on a machine at work, and they included the freeciv stuff in the games install, havn't checked it out yet, still trying to get ipkg utility to compress my programs for the Sharp PDA
Actually, it's worse than that - chromosomes don't say "make hair like this" - they say "make this protein",
IMHO, thats where the real fun starts is in protien folding. It's extremely difficult to take apart the molecules and fold them correctly back to a stable state. The best analogy i heard was from the director of the HGP, "Its like the highway system, its expensive to build, time consuming, and doesn't generate revenue directly. But it is the first step in the next generation of genetics reaserch needed for sucess."
My boss is treating everyone in company (about 200 people) to a showing at 2pm. My god he even reserved the tickets. I mean my boss is a hugh LOTR fan, and to allow about 600 hours of work to be skipped and foot the bill for the ticket. I guess I'll have to give him a real christmas present this year!
I too went a checked it out on the HTML validy tool. But then I went and checked my own webpage too. Ouch. Anywahy, working for a startup that hasn't been funding with millions of dollars, the website is a very low priority for non-internet related technologies.
Maybe they changed their website to a more slashdotting compatabile design. They are also dealing with alot of different browsers hitting their site. Hey its simple, fast, and IMHO suited very well for its purpose. Hell I bet its valid html code. If you want bloat, fancy graphics, and bandwidth hogging webpages please go here.
To min and maximize sure, but it only does that for file explorer windows, application windows still stay up, but I don't care.
I get paid for working on windows machine, and administrating a RH server via ssh terminal. I never used a GUI interface on a *inx machine anyway.
Its amazing that people think that MS is a standards orginzation. It really makes creating a good UI to applications with out having the MS crowd saying it doesn't look/work right. Like having close all windows command, or minimize or maximize keyboard short cut that makes sense. IMHO, after working with previously employed MS programmers, Bill Gates wanted to make great software but soon relized he couldn't so his programmers made applications that create dependency via UI and using non-standard controls. For you old timers, remeber when DOS turned off the Alt key so users couldn't use WordStar on IBM-compatbiles? Or how about creating a uncompatabile version of Java for windows, delaying the developement of a client side VM until an all MS stragey could be created?(read C#)
When I went from MAC to PC about 100 years ago the one thing I miss most was the close all windows keystroke. IIRC crtl-shift-w ? Anyway MS bugging me when I delete a file is about as annoying as...well its all offtopic anyway. This story wsa just another blood boiler for linux preachers/users/wanna-be-users-stuck-in-a-MS-only- shop
You should contact IBM buisness development, I'm sure the would be interested. They have lots of experience squeezing support cost out of their customers. $200 is cheap, try some real database support sometime, or better yet a commercial UNIX support fee. The only profit you can make is by selling support contracts. A small buisness can't survive on a per-incident basis, especially in such a board support area of desktop linux.
Hell I keep complete sets of spare keys at and at work, I would lose or misplace my keys once or twice a month when on call. What about a plastic cap to protect the connector prongs. I could deal with(well almost) losing the 8Mb $40 dollar gizmo, but $899 I would have to take out some insurence for it. For perspective, Gold bullion is about $280 a troy.oz, I'll just keep using my compact USB/Firewire 20 gig drive for that price.
Well, I can tell you what is bad for...Security. Especially with win2000/XP automatic detection of USB devices it could be used as a effective delivery device for worm/virus packages to machines without or with protected email and Internet access. With the 1gig size you could certainly steal a lot of data very easily. So what if you the most secure firewall and email protection. Are you screening your maintenance people, your temp workers? With a little social engineering this device could be very dangerous, easy to conceal, even through metal detectors with the phrase "Oh, my keys set it off". Sorry if I'm little excited about it, I'm just a Spy Novel fan and have a really good caffeine buzz too.
Dell has been selling 8-32Mb versions for more than a year, but they require a driver install
I was just thinking about that too, reverse engineering for profit. It sounds like a game developer could/maybe have some case but....I don't think that they would sue, if it doesn't impact their sales directly it wouldn't be worth, unless its to get publicity. Hell, I never would have been able to beat Serious Sam2 on the "serious" setting, without the bullet time cheat.
Ok, for us crusty corporate types that have IE 5sp2, are we vunerable to these security bugs? My company uses mozilla that has been tweaked for our browser, but they are on windows machines. I still haven't got a IE free windows machine without crashing it. And upgrading these 2500 client machines will cost a chunk of change and time for our small IT department. This sucks we work hard to keep MS from costing money, but still sell to thier customers.
Ture the gamplay and replay value are pretty damn good, even a descent storyline. But, copkilling games and those with other criminal content will always attract publicity and bans. Remember "Postal". It was the same thing, at the time it had great graphics and a high replay value (especially the marching band level). Anyway, don't think for a second that this will be a negitive for the game publisher, its just an added plus to help sell the game in the US and UK. Hey, I played through GTA, Max Payne, and Spycraft. I can't say that I'm a better person for playing them. I would never want my child to come in contact with that shit just for someone else's entertainment.
You should get in then, or just wait until a karma whore post the text later tonight. your third option is OMG..the library! what a concept, a gov't funded repository of information avaliable for your personal and free use.
What about that human clock website earlier this year? You rember the guy put apache code on a cassete tape, loaded into his C64, and taped a CAT5 cable to the side!
Anyway, we have seen some great thrashings in the past on websites that were asking for it. But most of the time the webserver and bandwidth solution wasn't set up for taking a large number of request in offpeak hours. But, I remember a CISCO presentation I was at once and they used the slashdot effect as an example for tuning routers for short high capisity loads, only S&M fans enjoy with those beatings.
I was kind of wondering what the general feeling about the lack of discussion on the video today. I feel that while/.'ers can tire very quickly of hearing (not caring) about UBL, having the video and transcrpits online along without having the servers get overloaded was IMHO newsworth for us. Another reason I have been apart of the slashdot community is because this forum has the background to make intelligent comments, rather than the shit that gets posted everywhere else.
First, as a former UofM student I know what your talking about, first the entire campus has great bandwidth and IC for just about every machine, buy some online storage. Second the reason UofM has brand new dells but no decent infastructure storage is grants that specify that monies donated must be used for desktop systems for students only. The grant money can't even used to buy new host servers for those workstations. Getting the UofM board of technology to approve a P2P system for all the workstations on campus would be great but it will never happen
isn't that bit overboard? Poor people can't afford food, clothing or acceptable shelter. Times have been tough on the creative community with must grant money coming from tourism taxes. I don't think having a computer that can display 68 fps in Unreal while ripping and playing MP3's is not going to help. I know I may be on the verge of troll here but I got 50 karama to burn. Anyone have good ideas on helping our chroniclly out of work artist?

So wrong in so many ways, but yet funny.

Yes Clean energy, really really clean energy. How clean you say? Its so clean you can used the old batteries to wash your soccer uniforms!
Yes I know, its not very punny.
