Wire this up to create a "noise canceling" device and you might have something.
Great idea! If they enhance the low spectrum, broaden the dynamic range and turn up the volume really really hard, it could even replace helmets and airbags...
Whaaat? Recycled PCs without casemoddings, without exorbitant cooling solutions, not even a little tattoo on the frontside? All identical? What the hell have the previous owners done with these machines? This might be a cluster of lonely and neglected hardware. A cluster who could need a biiig hug.
Mr. Jekyll (played by the Pretator) conducts some strange experiments on himself which turn him into the ugly character Hyde (played by the Alien), who sucks blood from vigins. He continues his blood sucking business until Gozilla arrives in the city and destroys, among other things, the laboratories of Mr. Jekyll, Dr. Frankenstein and Rabbi Loew, who was busy playing with clay at this time. In a great finale, the three realize that they have a common enemy and they release their respective creatures upon Gozilla, who first bites the dust (the Golem turns out to be really crumbly), but can be defeated by the Alien and Dr. Frankenstein's creature in the end. They find out that they really like each other and decide to move to the planet Ebola 9 to have some hot sex (great special effects!).
This doesn't concur with the results I got from my private investigations regarding the behaviour of lemmings. I did some massive computer simulations during the 90's, which showed that lemmings are stupid animals which will walk into one direction until they fall off the cliff. Only few of them can use jack-hammers or parachutes, and even that not without explicit order.
Seriously who doesn't know how to set there BIOS's settings?
My 96 year old grandmother uttered the other day that she was not perfectly confident with setting the DRAM burst timings on her nforce2 board. I pointed her to this site and now she is happy, because she could squeeze 2 fps more out of her box and can thereby delay the "necessary" upgrade for another 3 months. Silly old granny and the fps madness...
I heard before that Microsoft's future is bleak, due to the competition by Free Software. But I never thought that they would be bought up by a Linux based company this fast. I expect that their part will be the daily artwork on the Google-logo, since their software has never been entirely convincing. As long as it doesn't mess up my search results, I'm all for it - after all it helps to maintain jobs for quite a large bunch of talented clipart-designers, marketing people and lawyers, who would have a hard time without this charitable gesture.
The technology they introduced in 1968 allows them to rewrite the books and the newspapers. The next step is to make sure that the old copies get burned reliably. America was always in war with Iraq, you know...
There are certainly many vaporware OSS pages that will never produce code. That may be bad style, but it doesn't hurt anybody, as long as it doesn't lead to unnecessary fragmentation.
IMHO, in the near future the most important aspect of Xouvert won't be the new code they produce, but the attempt to introduce a "new management" that may solve some organisational problems, like too restrictive CVS access. To make this fly they have to attract developers and therefore they need a homepage. That's OK for me.
The Xouvert project has code: the Xfree86 code base. They have to set up their page before they start their own coding, because they have to solve problems with version management and merging (they have to keep some sync with the Xfree86 code base).
But most amazingly the english word for "fjiord" is fjord, too. What language is "fjiord", and is this all amazing at all? In any case, I like this thread.
It is a dark and fearsome land, beyond the scary edge of the world. So, Americans can't go there - you'll fall off...
This is crap - it can be done and it has been done. It is well known in American circles that Europe was discovered in March 1493, when Columbus sailed back to Spain.
Yeah. I have a mild tinnuts, too, maybe since 10 years. When it started, I felt good as long as I sat near my noisy computer. When I turned it off, the sudden silence was really annoying, because I had to realize that a certain percentage of the noise I heard before didn't originate from the machine, but come directly from my ears or my brain.
I think this mild form of tinnitus is really largely psychsomatic. The perpetual preoccupation with the sound inside the ears and the feeling of impotence to do anything about it is the real cause of the annoyance, not the sound itself. Over the years I learned to live with it and to accept my ear-fans. When I'm in good mood, they even slow down their rpm.
Bah. Mod your ears and get over it. Augment your body and learn to live in harsh environments. Now that I've been given the chance to live in the 3rd millennium, I insist on transcending my puny human body./me inserts ear plugs.

Mod parent up! I think he was trying to be funny.
I tried? Dang. There is no try...
Then better mod me sideways, before my posting makes somebody cry.
I rarely compile slashdot threads. I think CVS access to the article database would suffice.
An Apache point release on the front page? Can you say "slow news day"?
It annoys me that I have to download the full dupe at every point release. Can't they post incremental patches for the article and the replies?

Is it possible that you mistook me for Mr. Goldstein? We are not related in any way. In fact, your enemy may be completely fictional.
