Bah, WoW is an awesome game. The cartoon graphics are perfect for this game, nice to have a game with reasonable system requirements.
I did 20 levels in 3 days
Seriously, how many hours did it take you to get to level 20? "days" is a useless unit of time unless you mean your/played time or played for 3 days straight. Be honest, if you can.
Having said that, I do agree you level too fast in WoW. There's a simple solution to that - put less focus on trying to level, and work on your tradeskills and help support the in-game economy instead. If grinding is your preference, go create a char on a PvP server which makes questing significantly harder and frustrating.
I'm guessing he wants to do it in the field. That way the footage is combind with the GPS location and time at the moment it's recorded. There's a lot of interesting applications for this, such as recording animal behavior for scientific studies etc.
Sure, so you know the location of the GPS antenna, but still not the location of the animal...
That's not an old magazine! I've got some old mags stored away with ads for Altairs and such. Someday I should scan them in...
A 40MB HD *WAS* possible in the 386 days. I had an 8Mhz Zenith 808x with an RLL 30MB HD. Seagate ST238 if I recall. That was probably somewhere around 1983/84. I still kept the Atari 800 around though, since it was a way better gaming system.
An interesting/sad story about color trademarks from a forum I frequent where a fellow wanted to sell an electrical drill that happened to be yellow on ebay. A company (Vero) hired by DeWalt to "protect" their trademarks got ebay to shut down the auction, claiming that they guy was trying to pass off a non DeWalt tool as a counterfeit, intentionally using a look-alike to sell it.
This is just plain wrong! Nowhere on the ebay ad did it say it was a DeWalt nor was any attempt made to pass it off as one. Vero/Ebay cancelled the auction for no other reason than the drill happened to be yellow.
Is this a sign of things to come? This sort of thing seems to be happening more and more.
This news should not be surprising to anyone, since it's essentially a dupe! http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/02/2 0/0358206&tid=126&tid=14 [slashdot.org]
The amusing thing, is that American scientists are given credit here, but if you look at the original article from 2+1/2 years ago, it was the Germans who discovered it. Hmmm...
You could argue that this article is just a 'refinement' of the previous article. I could believe that only if a link had been provided to the original article. Ah well... Odd that the article itself doesn't mention previous work by the Germans either...

That's just because you are taking the wrong approach on how to repartition. I've repartitioned/newfs'd a couple of gentoo based systems without having to reinstall or recompile anything. As long as you've got some disk space to spare, it's a reasonably easy process. Boot the livecd, move all the data out from one fs into some other fs temporarily (doesn't have to be a new/empty fs, just so there's room somewhere), create a new fs in the old area, move the data back. Mount/. Update fstab. Reboot.
Clearly doesn't work if you build your systems with a single huge partition mounted at/, but then nobody does that, right??
Just keep good tabs on what you are doing so you don't get confused.
Frankly, I don't understand why diesel engines aren't more popular. The technology has shifted significantly since the smelly, smokey diesels of 20 years ago.
All of science is "only a theory". (Yes, to Americans who still believe what they learned at school - no, theories don't "promote to Law" at some point. They stay theories regardless of what they're named).
Ah good. Then nobody will mind that I just float around now that we know gravity is simply a theory?
2400bps? ftp? gopher? That's all new stuff! I remember hanging out at BBS's with an acoustically-coupled 300baud modem. In those days we had no MNP or V.XX for error correction and compression, either.
2400bps modems were a huge step forward. IIRC, they technically were not 2400baud though; they signalled at 600baud using quadrature encoding (QAM?). I don't remember all the details, and I'm too lazy to google for it. I'm sure somebody will google the answer and post it (and pretend like they knew it all along!:-) )
I like the broncos alot... A couple people in our club have early broncos. The 4-squirrel-powered 22re toyota engine just isn't the same as a good american V8!
Yep, should have gone with the 440044 waggys! And I may swap out the chevy's for some ford springs which are stiffer and I can take out the blocks (axle wrap is no fun).
Rock crawling is great fun... I currently have an '85 4runner which has Chevy 63" rears, Jeep Wrangler fronts, Inchworm 5:1 transfer case, 5.29 axles, detroit locker, and 35x15.5 TSL-SX tires, and I'm not done yet!
It's a motorsport most people probably can't understand, but once you get hooked, you're hooked.

That's clever... Geeky but clever... I like it!
Agreed... Funny how /.ers think they are smarter than the average idiot, guess what - just cuz we like tech doesn't make us smart.
There are not "many" color or sound trademarks.

AT&T's network is CDMA. Current AT&T phones won't work on Cingular networks, and vica versa.
Really? Then perhaps you can explain why I have an AT&T phone that is GSM? Whether or not it will work on Cingular is another question.
