With all those trasnmissions coming from outside the school a cheep affordable solution to block them would be painting the walls with lead based paint.
"While at Convex, a Texas-based supercomputer company, Steven Wallach, a computer designer, once used an Alliant supercomputer in his office as a conversation piece and as partial support for his desk.
"But even Mr. Wallach (...) said he was surprised to learn that another Convex employee had bought a Convex C-1 for its scrap price and was using the computer to heat his garage."
Here is an image of earth at night courtesy of NASA, only 5.9 MiB. Really cool to zoom in on, you can make out lots of stuff. I wouldn't recommend clicking this link unless you have a ton of ram. Best to save and view in photoshop.
Slashdot has always been about science and technology, and sometimes how it is being abused in new ways. Although this is an example of something involving technology (DNA), it is more about police abuse of powers and unreasonable policies toward minors. The real story is that they arrested them, held them, and wasted taxpayer dollars by running a pointless DNA test. Abuse of technology does not really come into this at all. I'm all for EFF causes, problems with domestic spying, and the like, but this is just silly.
I was just running a Vista beta for the past month, and I can tell you that it will at least get people wanting newer video cards, if not then new computers. They rewrote the graphics subsystem so that most old drivers are crippled and won't support glass (or whatever it is called). Minimum requirements are a 128MB 3D card for it, most people don't have one of those, even if they do it might not support glass. You also need 30GB of free space to install, but this might change.
Either way people are going to see the new shiny stuff on other's computers and want it for themselves.
For all you youngins out there magnetic core memory is an old kind of memory that used a tiny circular magnet with wires running through it to hold each bit. It was a one or zero based on which direction the magnetic energy flowed through it.
I have about 128 bits of it sitting in my closet somewhere. It is not based on a power of two like ram is now, but the length X width of the number of magnets on each side.
You can charge the vast majority of devices with 5/6, 9, and 12 VDC. I did it with only two power supplies. I used an old AT power supply for 5/6 and 12 volts, and I built a 5A 9V power supply as well. Then you just solder on whatever connectors your equipment needs. Mine only needs one wall plug since the 9V one draws power from the AT PSU.
I didn't end up doing it, but yes, its definitely something that goes on. They didn't tell me which site(s) it was for during the interview, but i suppose I could find out. Our job was to make up fake profiles of very horny people and post then. We were supposed to chat with people as well since the site also had that function. Being interviewed for a job like that was one of the weirdest things I have ever done. One of the questions was "If your profile says that your a red head with big tits, and some guy sends you a message saying that he wants to eat you out, what do you say in reply? There were many people working there doing the same job, it was like a call centrer.
I wouldn't mind some sort of service where you could test if your spam filter will accidentally block spam from certain groups (like yahoo). You would just submit your e-mail address to them and it would send you e-mail from a number of common ISPs. I'm sure people might try to abuse it, but that could be easily prevented. It would make testing your filters much easier.
Supposedly the zombie feeling is common with many SSRIs, but I don't think that the side-effects you described are common to all of the different kinds. Maybe you should give the others a chance.
A coursoury check of google suggests that there are many people who haven't patched yet: it lists the version number at the bottom of the statistics page.
AWStats is a very popular tool, google returns likely 4,490 users. This could be as bad as one of the old ISS vulnerabilities. With any luck, the publicity generated by incidents like this one will be a warning to those still running vulnerable version.
More cache would help too. It would be a good idea if they somehow got the processors to share cache. If they are both working on the same thing it would mean a big performance increase.

There: Problem Solved!
Just thinking about a Virtualboy gives me a headache. Who knew video games could hurt so much?

I've got a whole bunch of small hard drives for sale if anyone wants.
You forgot about tongue removal.
What? Everybody has done it, right?

Most drugs that are taken IM can also be taken rectally. This is because unlike taking something orally, it bypasses the liver on the first pass.
IANAD, a nurse told me this.

What else will this do, other then 'cure' depression?
Unfortuniatily, the term has found its way onto Dictionary.com.
There are other considerations. What about my water cooling system, will I need a new water block?

How is that a troll?
It says new chipsets, not new sockets. There is the posability that it will use LGA775.
:)
but wait, this is slashdot. Where posting comes before reading.
Like reading my question?

I believe they have 64 bit instructions as well.
Intel was quiet about implementing that since its an AMD tech.
