A common mistake. You need to factor in the benefits and assign them a 'cash value'. Like for instance, you get to 'corrupt' virgins. This is easily worth $100K.
I have one of these (Sony 200 disc changer) and it sucks. The interface sucks, I can never remember/figure out which cds are in there or what number they are. Why, oh why, can't it access the CDDB database! Most of the time I set it to shuffle and there is a 5-10 second pause while the spindle, swivels, unloads a disc, and reloads a new disc. This is a significant amount of time. Additionally, the laser sucks. Sound quality is far inferior to my single disc player. While a 150-200-300 disc changer 'sounds' cool it is not.
I too have 'free-range' cat5 in my house. One day it will all be in the walls and we can sit back and be nostalgic about how 'cool' and 'hardcore' we were...
That would be double the intentional irony. Anyone who can successfully get to/. must be able to recognize the '=' sign. I was merely trying to illustrate just how stupid he was.
Apparently, he was right. The sign '=' is an equal sign. Two identical horizontal and parallel lines together is the well-known mathematical sign meaning is the same as. The uniting and linking quality of a single horizontal line is, so to speak, doubled, signifying a similarity in one dimension, that of quantity. The ideogram has a similar meaning in some other systems, such as geometry.

I agree with you completely. There isn't enough time in the day to think on the things I *actually* care about. I am not in a hurry to find out what happens next, when I get there i get there. While I believe it could be a fascinating experience, I am more than happy to enjoy the 'experiences' I am having now without pondering unponderables.
Perhaps Buddhism is a philosophy and not a religion?

I have no desire to get into a flame war with you, especially about the use [or misuse] of words. Having said that, is it possible for you to be more obtuse? You deliberatly choose the definitions that allow you to mock me. Why choose 'conservative' and not 'opposition to progress'? The latter is precisely the meaning I had in mind when I used it. Furthermore, from your own link I quote:
'hyperbole (h-pûrb-l)
n.
A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect, as in I could sleep for a year or This book weighs a ton.
If you had read the definition in it's entirety you might have garnered a clue as to the actual meaning. Lastly, like all people who think they are superior to other people, you attacked me personally for no apparent reason and then condescended to me. Whether english is my first language or my seventh language is not germaine to any discussion we might be having about GPS art. You are a small person who likes to feel big at other's expense. Good day to you.

If you had actually read the article, instead of reacting so quickly, you would have noticed that some of them were done on foot. While you might have had a good point, your reactionary stance and hyperbole has made you seem like a fool.
I believe this is what my DirecTV dish does. It has dual lnb's which allows me to get multiple feeds at once (4 in this case). Why couldn't the uplink utilize 4 or 8 or 12 streams? I would imagine (and I have no practical knowledge about satellites other than the fact that they are in space or something and that government agents watch us every second:)) the satellite could accept multiple uplinks from the same location.
Actually, I have one of those Motorola email pagers and I can type very fast on it. Probably faster than on a regular (I hunt and peck) keyboard. I hold it in my hands and use both thumbs on it(the pager).
Slashdot Mirror
Now USB 2.0 on the other hand...
is 480 Mbits/sec or slightly faster than firewire.
I hate this so much. However, a true geek would adapt by either:
setting the record options properly to run 3 mins longer or
extrapolating the final few moments based on the rest of the show.
Try this out:

Lots of good info for geared towards photographers so you get lots of geeky details.

Jesus, it sure is scary when you have a seizure right in the middle of a sentence isn't it?

We're like a straight Bert and Ernie
Wait just a goldurned minute! Are you trying to implythat Bert and Ernie are GAY?! Say it isn't so.

From reading his post, I actually think he unintentionally used a more accurate phrase...
=) He was talking about some fairly intensive purposes.
That would be double the intentional irony. Anyone who can successfully get to /. must be able to recognize the '=' sign. I was merely trying to illustrate just how stupid he was.
Look at this...

I tried the obvious, but I agree that it is weird that it is virtually unused.

Isn't Afganistan landlocked?
I wonder how many satellites this has to bounce off of? Won? Too?
WHy are you asking the two chinese guys who work down the hall from me? Won and Too are not satellite experts y'know.

send the tape to a nearby satellite uplink site
This is, in fact, the problem. There is no 'nearby' satellite uplink site. Hence the whole reason for the story. They want something portable.
I would answer that ad. In fact that would be a dream assignment.
There was a [second] gulf war?
Actually, I have one of those Motorola email pagers and I can type very fast on it. Probably faster than on a regular (I hunt and peck) keyboard. I hold it in my hands and use both thumbs on it(the pager).
I also have a large (ish) collection of antique oily rags. I was wondering if you ever traded them or if you wanted to start a disscussion group?
