why in the world would you care if you can take the drive out and replace it?
Upgradability. Down the road, when 10, 20, and higher GB drives become cheaper and more widely availible, you can pop one of those bad boys in. With the iPod, you're stuck with 5 or 10 gigs unless you buy a whole new unit, which would definatly be more expensive than just the hard drive.
the point isn't whether you have power or not, it's whether the repeater does. for example, i could have power, but three blocks over, the power could be out on the repeater... meaning while my computer is working fine, i still wouldn't have access to the network.
In many states, the law states that if you are on the other side of a road with a concrete or grass median, you do not have to stop. However, if you're on say a 4-lane road with just a yellow stripe down the middle, well you'd better believe that all four lanes have to stop.
I, for one, hope it's NOT a joke. I absolutly love watching others play video games. But that's probably because I suck at them myself. Either way, i'd pay for this channel in a heartbeat.
Oh wait, nevermind.... disregard the above post. I was too stoned to realize what i was typing.
Sounds like my physics teacher, Mr. Wilson. not only was he a bad teacher, but he hit me with a yard stick, like six times!!! This is why I hate school, my friends.
Mr. wilson, if you're reading this... EVERYBODY HATES YOU!!!
This article might actually mean something to me... if i understood what the fuck they were talking about. All those naps I took during physics are starting to come back to haunt me.
If this actually works as promised, and only alerts police to people who really are about to kick the shit out of someone, this could be a really good thing.
If it's not wave after wave of spam in your mailbox, it's excessively intrusive ad banners and popups, or demands by websites that you pay a subscription for access. The DMCA and other pending legislation could soon mean that companies such as Microsoft and the recording labels will cement their total ownership of your online rights
With companies bundling software like this with our downloads, how long will it be before the EULA says something along the lines of "By clicking agree, the user agress to allow our ads to be tatooed on their forehead."
Wouldn't hitting potholes, speed bumps, etc. put undue wear on the HD workings? It seems to me like a CD-based system would be more appropriate for a car. I mean, how long is it gonna be before your drive crashes?
I totally agree with the idea that computers only lessen a student's creativity. When I was in 6th grade, if we had to do a project, not only did we have to research the subject, but create a poster as well. By cutting out pictures and gluing them on. My brother, who's in 6th grade now, just did a power point for a project. Sure, he still had to do all the research, but he didn't design anything. He just used a template.
Computers may make things easier, but there are some things that they just shouldn't be used for in elementary school.
You're damn right. This is Microsoft's software, not yours. If you don't like it, then don't install it. If you do like it, then go right ahead. Either way, Microsoft has the right to do what they want with software they create and own. Personally, I hate the idea, and that's why i'm sticking with 98SE.
This is Microsoft we're talking about, learn to deal with a little abuse if you're gonna use their software.
That's not all. This is an always-on wireless device. You don't have to pull it out and click a bunch of things just to check your mail, it alerts you automatically when it comes. I'm no Palm fan (I own a PocketPC myself) but the fact is it's NOT just a fancy looking VII.
hey dickhead, there's no ask slashdot bullshit on MY page. and i've got it set to show everything. so how about you kiss my ass? make sure you lick it clean, because i usually forget to wipe.

Just pry off that key... worked well enough for me, at least.

SA-CD does not use a regular CD. it's the same size, but it holds much more data, kind of like a DVD.

Just get a server, T3, and host it yourself.

Last I checked, it was legal to make copies for yourself, but not to distribute them to others.

This must be why I have a pile of old monitors in the corner of my garage.

Of course... that's if it works.
sniff* *sniff* Smells like good times to me.

don't pay your taxes much, eh taco?
They can disco... but can they break dance? That's what i want to see.

with speech recognition on by default on a bunch of systems, imagine all the processor power that's wasting...
...of course, this is microsoft.

What i'd really like to know is "is it compatible with my betamax tapes?"
who needs 51 pages to call up pizza hut?
