How far do you have to go in a modern house to get to a TV outlet?
My house was built in the '70s. There wasn't a single cable tv outlet installed when it was built. When cable TV came around, holes had to be drilled in the exterior walls, and cable had to be dropped from the ceiling.
Then, when digital came out, more holes had to be drilled in the house, and more cable ran in order to get both cable internet and digital cable TV.
I'd say non-wired houses are more common than you think.
I don't see how this alone can hurt the review credibility, that's much like dissing a book written by a Brit because they spell a particular metal aluminium or how they spell colour.
Sony's Wega line is named after the star. While the name is pronounced "vega" it is also spelled "wega".
We're not listening to the review, we're watching it. If the name of the product reviewed isn't even accurate, how much of the rest of the review can we trust?
So the clear and obvious solution is to set up a running process that queries the sight every 5 mins or so. When it gets back a 404 error it changes the href tags to point to an internal/. cashe.
That's actually not a bad idea. Feel free to submit a patch when you're finished whipping it up.
I would rather a story wait for a while and a solid mirror be put up instead of us blowing away a website for days.
If they did that, chances are most people would just see it elsewhere. But hey, if it's all for the good of the poor site with the not-quite-big-enough-pipes, why not?
Of course, it DOES stand to reason that a web site puts up content in the hopes that people actually view it. Yes, I understand that things happen that are beyond the control of the people in charge of such things (such as a good/.'ing), but that doesn't mean the readers should have to suffer while the respective sites sort things out.
Shouldn't Slashdot have a rule where they contact a company before talking about something on their website, especially if it's a whopping great download?
How much longer do you want story submissions to take? At any rate, they've already this question in the FAQ. You have read it, right?
1) It was a preproduction car, "loaned" to them by Nissan. After a year, these cars must be destroyed anyway. They just slapped a bunch of ugly-ass body mods and wheels to it to make it look like a typical ricer.
2) They didn't destroy the Cobb WRX, the owner did.
If you plan on making a reasonably large (20 or more) purchase, you might have better luck calling them directly, and getting a sales rep on the phone. Hopefully, they'll know a little more about the specs and features than the web page shows for Joe Sixpack.
Let me give you a scenario. Your village has been bombed, your house is destroyed, you've lost 2 sons and a leg from the war, and your fields have been razed.
Which would you rather have RIGHT NOW, food or kazaa?
I don't argue that rebuilding their communications infrastructure is a fantastic idea, LATER. Right now, it's probably more important that people don't starve waiting for it.
16mb rootfs file system bootable from compact flash and via pxe net booting:)
Phoenix had a recent press release, debuting their new Me series of BIOS'en, that let's the motherboard developers include embedded software like mp3 players and such without having to boot into an actual OS.
If VIA could incorporate some of this tech into their EPIA products, we could have some truly cheap multimedia hardware that did everything developers could throw at it.
Wouldn't hitting a pothole do bad things to the hard drive?
One could always go with a 1 gig microdrive, and keep music and data on a cd-r. That also has the bonus of being nearly completely silent (which isn't as important in a noisy car, but still nice).

Don't forget this is /., where 1 + 1 - 1 = 0.

Why do you feel it necessary to answer a question that was already answered, stompro?
I read the article in print form. I assumed the Cobb guys were the ones driving. Who gives a shit? HAND.
Looking... Looking... nope, no Nova.
2) They didn't destroy the Cobb WRX, the owner did.
HAND.
You're stoned, aren't you? =D
It was probably an air-cooled porsche or karman-ghia engine in it. That was quite a common mod back in the day.
... or they buy turbos. You were saying?
*smack* Wake up.
*ahem* recieve.
Ask, and ye shall recieve.
What's wrong with bolting your PC to a wall? It gets a bit noisy at times, but works find for me...
Obvious?

There you go.

Oh, you were being sarcastic?
Couldn't hurt to learn to spell, or use proper grammar, either.

We certainly live in exciting times for hardware.
There ya go.

Thank you, you beautiful bastard.
