Actually, the way it works almost is exactly this. When you learn something, it doesn't just go somewhere, it is stored by changing connections between neurons. (probably more than one, but it's the right idea)
The size increase only matters if you actually compile XFS into the kernel when you set it up. If you're not using it, you're going to get the same thing as before in the end.
Yeah, and I love those security messages from OSS people saying long, weird passwords are secure. pfft.
The point isn't that it's unbreakable. The point is that it's much more secure, in that stuff like web pages can't just use IE to pop up a fake one. If someone's going to be in your computer booting linux CDs, you're screwed anyway, should have had a lock on the case. There is no security without physical security.
I own the 49 and can say that it's definitely not crap. It's not the fastest calculator in the world, but it is definitely powerful and great for many applications. I'd recommend going with this one to replace the busted one.
50% of the users use "more than the average user."
So, when you cut them all offline, you can give me all of that bandwidth just for myself. I promise I'm just an average guy. Really.
Is security really an issue here?

I understand the standard windows=bad theme for slashdot postings, but think about it for a minute. It's in a box that's locked up tight, many with cameras around, not connected directly to the internet... so really... is there any significant security issue to worry about any more so than with the other ATMs around?
Ssh. Don't post those links! We spent a lot of time building the open source = secure argument for a long time, don't shoot it down now. They can't know. Come on, man!

This is a very interesting point. What I'm thinking happens is that you basically realize that the words should be interpreted in reverse after the first couple, and then it becomes the same task as before, just with reading backward, which by itself is another task which works similiarly to the letter-scrambling in the article.
Sounds like you shouldn't have used a computer to generate that comment, or at least have used one that's designed well enough to know the difference between "than" and "then".;)
I think someone hacked your post. I mean, nobody smart enough to write this up could possibly simultaneously be stupid enough to spell Microsoft as "MicrSoft".
Actually, it does make a difference. If you only have 3 gb of data, a 3gb hard drive will be somewhat slower than 10 gb of the same rpm, cache size, etc. in general use, due mainly to seek time. On the 10gb, the data will be spread around the drive, so when it wants to write, it will only have to go a little way to find an empty spot. The 3gb will have to jump all over the place to find empty spots, and likely fragment data more. Makes sense right?
Slashdot Mirror
Um... you say "chatting mindlessly with their peers" is a waste. What are you expecting to happen by posting replies on slashdot, exactly?
Somehow, nobody is suprised that internet users can't spell.
Yeah, so all 7 people still running the 2.2 series better get on the ball!

Yeah, and then sue Opera as well for taking ideas from the game Black and White.
Come on guys. Ximian is a company, not an Outlook clone. They make Evolution which is an Outlook clone. Sheesh.

There have been over 20 million downloads of OpenOffice... not bad!
Slashdot mistitles an article to sustain the entertaining battle to have open source software everywhere.
I don't see any "misreading" going on here...

I thought this was a joke! In 1995!
You don't really know what a patch is, or does, do you...
Who modded this up as interesting... sheesh.
Good question, should just stick to your kernel-based web browser and read straight off of the stack registers like the true geeks.
I love how you guys phrase these things.
Yes, they embrace Linux. But that's 38% of them. 51% are still embracing Windows.
I think someone hacked your post. I mean, nobody smart enough to write this up could possibly simultaneously be stupid enough to spell Microsoft as "MicrSoft".
Right, and MS is dumb to do this, because as every super-dup3r REAL expert knows, Linux is invulnerable to distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Somehow I feel this comment wouldn't have been made if an open-source site made the same move, and under these circumstances, most of them would have.
Insightful my ass. Maybe +5 Way to follow the l33t crowd.
Huh... virtually silent? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how a large block of aluminum can be anything more than completely silent. ;)

Well clearly you're upgrading the wrong parts. Go overclock your keyboard, silly.
