the Computer Club currently seems to be split into two groups. One group mostly plays multiplayer games such as Tribes, while the other group embarks on lessons on how to use our server, as well as basic tutorials in programming languages we use such as PHP.
That's basically how it is at my school as well. Our computer club is mainly kids who play video games, but thanks to our great technology department we know have something made for the other type. We call it St. Paul's Technical Services, St. Paul's being the school and technical services being what we offer. The school has a laptop program, and with a few hundred machines being on campus problems arise. Mainly we trouble-shoot Windows programs and the like, but from time to time we deal with hardware too. This (2002-2003) year was our first, so it was all kind of "unplanned". But next year is looking much better.
Ofcourse Iraq has weapons that they shouldn't, I mean the US did sell them a good bit in the Iran/Iraq war. Im also sure that there are many other countries out there just as horrible. But the rush to war was not called for, the diplomacy before may have been weak, but that seems like no reason to rush to war.
Just incase you haven't heard already, that was all planned out. Note how the guy was being carried out, and that they smashed a "$2000" machine (why not keep it?).
So I guess the only "evil doers" out there are German or Russian? Oh but I guess in about ten years we'll see Arabic ones too? By the way, I'm German (remember that country that was against starting that war that ended up being groundless.. yeah)
Works both ways

Remember, a peltier works both ways. Meaning i can keep my beer nice and hot for those cold winter nights!
You could also boost the amount of devices using only transistors. You have 8 basic imputs, add a few transitors to make AND/OR gates and the rest is common sense from there. The best use of this (other than the want for more devices ofcourse) is so you can use a thinner cable. UTP Cat5 cable is cheap, but it only has 4 pairs, so eight wires, one has to be the ground. So now we have 7 data wires and 1 ground.
1 - 7
1 AND 2 - 1 AND 7
2 AND 2 - 2 AND 7
3 AND 3 - 3 AND 7
4 AND 4 - 4 AND 7
5 AND 5 - 5 AND 7
6 AND 6 - 6 AND 7
7 AND 7... same goes for OR, if you really need connections you can go even deeper (2 AND 4) OR (5 OR 6)
space? money? The setup works well, you have your servers within arms reach, your IT people are there too. We have something like that at my school, a room thats always got the thermostat set to -500 calvin and all the servers in a row, along with two desks for the administrator and IT director. People don't comming there -- and when they forget their password (or anything of that nature) they have to, you would think that this would lead to less of these cases.
You've got camcorder in my notebook! You've got notebook in my camcorder" Sony Vaio GT3/K!
remember that old cereal comercial? I think it was reeces peanut butter cereal or some god awfull stuff like that?
Does anyone know of any "games" in this genre that are open source and free? Imagine having something like this as open as the web, with a scripting (or ofcourse we could all learn cg/openGL/etc, but i don't that would go over to well) languages to let people make objects. I guess I've been reading Snowcrash a bit to much though.
I would think this is an April fools joke, other than "because they can", why would someone make a RAID of floppy drives. Personally I'm getting very sick of this April fools business. With some things its obviously a joke (which are normally the funnier ones), but with other things it could go both ways (cool but pointless, or cool but this will never happen)
I doubt your reasons for not having a girlfriend are not linked to reading slashdot, but rather something called your personality. Just you thinking that inteligent people do not have girlfriends marks you as rather ignorant in my book.
The only way that I could see this as being "wrong" is if this guy was paying for his bandwidth usasge. Then again its kind of what con artists say about exploiting those too ignorant to know better. You also helped out a friend, I'm sure that balanced out your karma a bit : P
No computer. Beautiful.
This is Slashdot, most of us don't feel well without our computers. When I'm on vacation I don't do any major programming projects, but I like to get on the net every once in a while to get on aim, or check mail etc. I enjoy technology, and I don't understand how someone else who does (im guessing this dude does) would find this beautiful or relaxing
I would say learn a real programming language before you learn Visual BASIC
I also have some C++ knowledge, up to basic classes and memory management, so any of that that I could use in the current classes would be useful as well.
Please read the whole story before you post.
Why not do something in the spirit of OS, such as having one big "thing" and everyone having a "piece" this would involve everyone and could be fun. I'm sure that someone out there has an idea on what this "thing could be"
So how geeky is this going to be? Did you propose on slashdot? Is the wedding going to be webcast?
IDE harddisks getting cheaper?? Its lowest cost is stable at about $100CDN. Its getting cheaper per megabyte, but not just cheaper.
With IDE/EIDE drives about $1 per gigabyte, prices are going "down". By that I mean for their size. Price always stays in the same field when new hard drives come out (you can see this with video cards too). So no, that 120GB harddrive isn't under $50 yet, but it the model below probably is.
Even thought it would take a long time to get into your system, could eating the eggs of these chickens for a while help you build up an imunity (do nothing? or kill you?)
From what i have heard, Microsofts code is hacky as hell (which is good), M$ does have some of the best programmers around. What really screws them over is the deadlines, if Microsoft let the programmers take their time, or go back and fix things Windows would be muuuuch more stable.
So how do i recycle this can? Do i put it in the plastics or aluminium bin? By the way, where i live its not "coke" and not pop (doesn't matter if its sprite, dr pepper, or coca cola)
Can someone from the UK answer this please? Is it the people or just the government that is so opposed to doing anything that involves the European Union? I'm German and spent a good deal of my life there, and i still try to keep up to date with European politics. The UK didn't want the Euro, they don't agree with the EU when it comes to war.. What gives?

As great as that sounds, how exactly would the school pay for switching from PC to Mac or vice versa?

Same bullshit you get over here in the US with Anime to some degree.

Everyone should speak Structured English. :D
Because thats what you speak? To be fair I think we should all learn Mandarian (sp?) Chinese.

First, "Firewise Drive" is two words. two words it may be, but its still just one thing : )
