Perhaps they use the force to alter or mask their looks making it easier to blend in or to look mean and evil for intimidation - which begs the question - which is their true form/identity?
Very impressive troll. With a single, obviously inflammatory comment you have managed to set the hook and start up yet another "Nuking Japan was immoral vs. It was the best solution to a serious problem" debate.
Now that everyones attention is on natural disasters rather than terrorism, let us take this opportunity to combine them.... Could a terrorist set off a bomb large enough to trigger the slide? Seems like this would be an easier target and do more damage than any nuke a typical terrorist could make.
Someday when all the animals are just about extinct you'll stumble from your vehicle in haze and find a cockroach on the ground. You get excited and rush home to show your wife, only to have her tip it over , pop it open, and reveal that it is only a robot.....
You forgot the thrust generated from the "fart can" style muffler. The rythmic pulse generated will induce a thrust coefficient similar to what a turbo would effect. Sure the sound is nice but the extra 50hp is the real gain. Tinted windows also reduce cabin temp allowing for increased ignition timing without detonation. Lets not forget how VTEC technology has brought hydraulic roller lifters into the spotlight. The reduced friction coupled with boost potential from the carbon fiber bling items have maximum rev potential.
Admins do use servers to surf for updates and install patches, not just to MS but other vendors sites as well. Perhaps they should use their desktop for that but many companies are not allowing update packages that you can save - i.e. you have to download the update from the machine with the license installed.
While analysts said OTM's digital pen could also serve as a replacement for computer mice or laptop touchpads, the company considers these markets to have matured to the point where they are unlikely to gamble on new methods of data entry.
Instead, the sweet spot for digital pens may prove to be an emerging market for smart phones, hybrid devices that are half handheld computer and half mobile phone on steroids.
A replacement for a keyboard? Not on a PC but basically they are moving the character recognition from the PDA to the pen and using it in small devices like phones, PDAs(thopught they already did this), mini puters.....
Methinks it was the same older story and someone...CmdrTaco....went 'Doh' and quickly pulled it down after they realized it was not "another" payload, but merely the same one revisited.....
According to the article it costs $7 to make a copy.....($5 for the burn and $2 for the blank, I assume you can't bring your own). If the record companies would sell their "music" or other products for that price, instead of $16.95 for a new CD, maybe it would not be an issue......Maybe instead of wasting money developing anti copy techniques that just make everyone angry, they should sell their "products" for a reasonable amount......
In other news: In a dramatic twist, Slashdot a "geek" news site, turned the tables on would-be Anonymous Cowards and Trolls, posting inflamatory "news" articles and other mischeivous April 1st pranks - in the very spirit that they have encouraged moderators to trounce in times past.
Many/.ters have become angry and are angry and have expressed that they are not going to take it anymore. They have refused to post and when posting have made sure the site operators are aware that enuff is enuff.
I am sure when this is all over, "News for Nerds" will be back and ACs will be posting flamebait and trolls with a vengence.....
Too obvious(a good troll has to be a little more thought out).
- Next Sunday on CNN: Bin Laden explains why he did it!
Too obvious (I think everyone already knows why he did it)
- Breaking News: Earth to collide with Sun - Microsoft Claims it has the sollution now
Microsoft already claims to have the solutions to your...ahem.....Sun "problems".
- Lastest News: Bill Gates said he never used any version of Windows. He likes Apple better!
Too obvious once again.
These might be something you would see on a twisted version of a/. -Onion hybrid. Today however it is not that comical or obvious. Most of these stories are just a waste of HTML.....
Shouldn't it be pausing light?

Stopping Light

After stopping light is pretty easy, it's the pausing that tuff.
And when all the email addresses collected aren't real because no one wants to give out a real one for fear of SPAM, and there is no actual person named Ima Notanswering who lives at 123 Nowhere Sreet North Dakota 43211 with a phone # of (555) 123-4567.
Not until it can do EVERYTHING XP can do plus more useless widgets. Not until you convince thousands of users that MS Office is a separate product from Windows. Not until it is completely compatible with ALL other office suites. Not until you get twice the marketing shmooze MS can throw and then some. (Until this article I did not even know it existed - and I am an admitted geek, what about the thousands of ppl who aren't?) Not until you convince all those users that MS won't make things uncompatible in the next release leaving them high and dry with an abandoned office suite. Not until you convince all those users that there are thousands of other users/companies using it.
Even the author admitted is was not an Office XP killer. --Quote I'll address this issue right off the bat. This is great software, but it isn't an Office killer, nor is it designed to be.
Ah yes, first internet/tech got hyped beyond belief making the hype reality and the hype pendulum swung to the stratosphere fed by media. Then ppl started to realize it was hype and so it crashed fast, the media forcasting a self fulfilling prophecy of business/economy doom and gloom. The gloom hype became reality. With a little 9/11 nudge we have another swing coming, the hype is starting to swing again - the new buzzword - SECURITY. 9/11 was not the author of the new hype, merely a catalyst. Kinda like pouring gas on fire.
Will SECURITY hype become reality? Should it? Or will it be just hype and a false sense of security.
Slashdot Mirror
Those statistics that you pulled out of your hat include suicides or they wouldn't be causing more deaths.
IIRC it was also stated the Sith (Dark Lord correct?) were gone for over a Millenia. 88 Years is a millenia? Or is this a Jedi cover up......

Yes.

But they only work at VERY high speeds. At the speeds street cars brake and turn there is no benefit.

Mar 14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
Not to nit pick but Jesus said it about 600 years earlier.
