I'm sure this thing would suck off the car's power, right? So just send the state a bill for the estimated cost, and throw on some BS charges, totaling in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. I wonder how the state'll like it.
I know I sure don't. I have most of them blocked, anyway.
What's next, the government spamming us with wanted posters and ASCII pictures? Why don't they invest money in a medium which people actually pay attention to? See: Television Advertisements.
#1. The story makes it seem as if the seats were removed because of the trouble he was causing them. If that is the case, why did they eliminate the other seats.
Because the other seats are sources of potential trouble.
#2. How many "publically elected" seats are left? The story just says they eliminated 5 without elaborating.
None. From the summary: "...ICANN has given Karl Auerbach the boot by eliminating his seat as well as the four other publicly elected seats on ICANN's board."
We needed new trade routes because the existing land ones were too expensive. We had the existing land ones as a result of the Crusades and the changes it brought about. The Crusades were about religion, but when people found out "hey, we can make money on cool crap we find" they also said "Wonder what else we can get?"
The ability described here, and what they're looking for in the test, is what's called "Theory of Mind." It's believed that autistic children are unable to develop this skill, and therefore are unable to answer the question correctly.
Anyone read the Cookoo's Egg (by Clifford Stoll) lately? He briefly talks about "Sensitive but unclassified" and how it was a problem back then (read the book) when they LACKED such a definition, and the need for one.
So I guess there's another side to the arguement...who would've thought?
I _believe_ that is probably because Gentoo ownz.;) Compiling from source definitly helps speed it up, while the precompiled binaries used in Mandrake don't have that advantage. (I say this because when I use the precompiled binaries for KDE (used, I should say, since this was at least 2 months ago), my system was slow as hell...I compiled from source, and I got an amazing improvement.)
I was thinking of that, but, if you only have a few gigs, you could use a backup system, making a copy of the contents in RAM to a mass-storage device before you reboot. Assuming you don't reboot much, it wouldn't be too much of a hastle.

Why not just use a whole crapload of RAM? RAM is incredibly cheap these days, after all. I'm sure that, if a company wanted, they could create a custom design that would hold a few gigs in a small space.
However, you've still got the problem of the spinning CD. I don't think that'll change anytime soon.
Yeah, all I need is to be watching Friends, and have it interupted when Joey gets a call from a telemarketer, pitching long distance service.
To make it even MORE realistic, how 'bout a telemarketer every 30 seconds?;-)...actually, I'll probably just get modded down, being a slashdotter watching Friends.
Basically, Apple licenced the right to use a look-alike GUI to Microsoft for MS Windows. Apple interpreted it as meaning, "For Windows 1." When Microsoft released updates, with the lookalike GUI, Apple sued. The courts sided with Microsoft, and that's why Microsoft is able to pretty much copy their entire GUI from Apple.
What's with this Disney gag order? I mean, come on! I, for one, would be more inclined to spend the $10 to see the movie if I had been able to read more about it from this interview.

Easy - FREEDOM!

...`cat pi.txt >> /dev/dsp`?
Am I the only one that finds catting random things to the sound device[s] amusing?
It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it!
That was so unexpected.....yeah, right.

Curiosity? I guess, in a way. But more of greed.
Yes, but _why_ did the government give him the money? They thought it would make them rich.
Yes, it was government funding, but it was for the same reason. Later voyages, and a good deal of colonization, was privately funded.
NASA is doing this for science, and they are publically funded.
The explorers did it in order to find/establish trade routes, and had a lot of private monies.
See the difference? Money.
Based on the recent blunders and budget cuts, do you really think NASA will be able to setup a mission to an asteriod in 12 months?
So were world-superpowers.
The internet can't remain "stable," expecially in such a changing world. It's got to evolve with the times.

Try using something like WindowMaker or Blackbox/Fluxbox. I'd expect KDE to lag like hell, with those specs.
Not to troll, but KDE is bloat. It's not intended for systems such as yours.
But which moon? ;-)
Personally, I want to see who's the first to land on our SECOND moon. IIRC, the third was proven to be space junk?
You poweroff your Linux box[en]?! ;)

Apple tried that. They lost.

Why must they do that?
I would love to see a /. "AI" topic.
/. editors see this, and act on it.
Here's to hoping
Is it me, or does anyone feel like this article was just begging for immature teenager trolls?
