Despite all the bitching about this article being a paid ad, this PSU looks fairly useful.
The other day when I was blowing all the dust out of my case, I saw all those unused power cords strung about all over the place and wished I could get rid of them.
Since we're getting rid of bulky ribbon cables with S-ATA, it would be nice to get rid of all that other spaghetti too.
mozillaZine is spreading the word of a plan to have a mass migration of users from other email clients on this coming Tuesday in order to find any remaining bugs in the migration process.
Somewhere at a car company...
Engineer 1 - "Hey, our new car may burst into flames if people try to drive it."
Engineer 2 - "I know... let's get as many people to drive it as possible so we can see what the problem is!"
I've got a Microsoft Internet Keyboard that's served me well for about 4 years, even when clogged to the gills with cat hair. I've got the extra buttons mapped to stuff I need, and the Windows key is actually fairly useful, despite all the naysaying:
Win+L: Lock Station Win+M: Minimise All Windows (Win+Shift+M to undo) Win+D: Hide All Windows (Win+D again to undo) Win+E: Open Explorer Win+F: Open "Find File" Dialog Win+R: Open "Run" Dialog
Ya see, that's the beauty of capitalism. You get to buy the stuff you want, and don't have to pay for things you don't need.
You get to buy what you want... as long as those providing it feel it's worthwhile to sell it to you. Otherwise, you're S-O-L.
As for not having to pay for things you don't need... recall the huge cable/satellite tv fuss that comes up every so often. You know, having to subscribe to all kinds of channels you don't need just to get one you want...
I once read that the Boy Scouts in the US have a list of copyrighted campfire songs they are forbidden from singing because ASCAP took them to court over it.
THAT is scraping the bottom of the litigious barrel. Seriously.
Not having a real bank in a small town in the Netherlands doesn't seem like too big of an issue.
I've been there a few times. Places aren't all that far apart.
I've been using my bank card to pay for purches in-store for almosr 10 years. It's so much easier than cash. Cash is only good for small food purchases nowadays...

Already, you're strating to see Chinese brands marketed under their own names in the US, like Konka and Haier.
You mean I won't be able to buy a TV from Magnetbox, Panaphonic, or Sorny anymore?
I live in North America you insensitive clod!
No, you live in the US.
Canada has DAB in its major cities. It's just that most people don't have receivers.
What about the 802.11xxx?

We've only got two left Discovery and Atlantis, and there's no way we'll build any more like them, I'd wager.
NASA really should have entered that eBay auction for Russia's Buran...
Ya, but the X Prize doesn't have a sexy blonde host.
All of Slashdot's colour schemes suck.
There's no getting around it. It's true the statement that code developers know nothing about aesthetics other than how to please themselves.
But my case design isn't. I intend on adding/removing stuff over time to keep up with my needs.
That's the whole point of buying a tower or mini-tower. If I wanted a static design, I'd buy one of those tiny boxes.

Well, if it were Germans, it would have to be Nena's "99 Luftballons", wouldn't it?
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room! ...unless it's a DOOM 3 deathmatch you're talking about, of course.
It's your opinion that you use a better keyboard.

I once killed a TV at school just by touching it, in that way.
It had to go in for repairs.
I've got a fairly big canoe paddle in my room.
I've been to summer camp. I know what one of those can do to a human body. It's also got a much better reach than a hammer.
Let's hope I never have to use it.
Just wait till someone takes it and beats the crap out of you with it for making all that noise.
The heavy metal frame makes for excellent bruising.
(These "I'm better than you because I use an ancient keyboard" comments have to come out every once in a while, don't they?)

I always thought the successor to the Celeron would be the Asparagon.
The Concorde did it in not too much more than that.
Until one crashed, and people got scared away, of course. (ONE crash, in 30 years of service.)
But no, I can't picture anything going wrong with a space vehicle...
Ya, I know about that one. It's silly.
THERE's a copyright that's way overdue to expire.
I once read that the Boy Scouts in the US have a list of copyrighted campfire songs they are forbidden from singing because ASCAP took them to court over it.

TOO MANY LAWYERS.
The danish one forwards to a larger address, but the address "http://ai./" just owns.
That's the shortest domain name I've ever seen.
I guess to beat that, you'd need to go with a country code domain.

There's few things I hate more than large amounts of raw data. (KILL.)
