There's an ad for PC World or Currys or something where the salesguy explains to some students that having an Intel (bing-bong-bing-bong) dual core processor means it can do two things at once - like sending an email and downloading music!
Didnt some pundit predict this would happen? I cant find the article about it now, but he'd predicted this and a fwe other things about the internet. If I could find it, I'd start betting on the other things mentioned in the article...
So he's saying the guys in the bazaar are going to have to crawl up to the cathedral and say 'please please we want to buy some of your holy goodness to make more people come to our bazaar'.
I reckons a comment wot maybe a dozen people's gonna read dont need the grammar of a paid slashdot righter pennin edlines that miillions of geezers are gonna read.
If I were being really pedantic I'd have said the title would have benefited from a colon, to be "Viruses: the new condiment"...
Slashdot needs proper sub-editors. As does life in general.
It should be 'bacteria-killing virus'. A virus that kills bacteria. The hyphen is important, it differentiates between 'man-eating shark' and 'man eating shark'.
Probably the tenth time I've complained about grammar on slashdot:)
friends of mine are flying home from UK to Australia soon. With two small kids. And under the restrictions, no kids toys. 18 hours with two kids and nothing to keep the occupied.
I suspect the rest of the plane would prefer a terrorist attack.
"unlike media I own, for which any DRM is intolerable". You own the media. You dont own the copyright of the content. Copyright holders can impose any restrictions they like. Anything. It might be that you can only play this disk on a Monday and only if you are wearing lederhosen. Really. You find that intolerable? Well, then you can't play it. Read the small print. Carefully.
Wow. And do you know what, I was just going to add to the elephant page the fact that the elephant is the only animal that has four knees, and wikipedia has locked the page so that amazing fact wont be on wikipedia, so if you want to reference this you'll have to put up with a fuddy duddy old journal-style reference instead:
Weissengruber, G. E, F. Fuss K, G. Egger, G. Stanek, K. Hittmair M, and G. Forstenpointner (2006). The elephant knee joint: morphological and biomechanical considerations. Journal of Anatomy 208(1): 59-72.
If I watch 3 seconds of a dancing comedian from Cleveland before hitting my attention span limit for wacky online videos, do I still count as one of those 30 million?
I'd love to nominate this CMS but the author has kept it anonymous!
From that page:
"It didn't take too long for Bryan to figure it out. Being a Web 2.0 system, the CMS used JavaScript that dynamically loaded JavaScript that dynamically loaded XML that was dynamically transformed into proprietary commands that were parsed to dynamically execute JavaScript to dynamically load content."
Hunt for ndiswrapper? We got ten new Dell laptops in the other day, booted Ubuntu Dapper Live, and wireless worked. Straight. Out of. The Box. As did everything else.
Although to be honest it was my technical team that did it so I'm not sure if they tested hibernate/suspend or any other real hardcore stuff. DVDs played, sound worked, network fine, wireless sorted.
I need to make sure the external VGA works (this is a problem with some laptops in linux) since that does cause our students to lose hair when they have presentations to give, and causes some of them to resort to printed or even handwritten transparencies for talks!
Ah, you've not seen the episode of CSI: Miami where someone cocks a gun to Calleigh's head and she later identifies the gun by listening to several models being cocked. I wont spoil the story by saying whose gun it was...

Cleary you dont use your dictionary enough or you wouldn't have said 'obtuse' where you really meant 'abstruse'!

You forgot:

The great thing about web standards is... there's so many of them!

Not sure the metaphor works too well here...
Obviously, because 2^64 keys would take 584 years to cover with a computer doing 1 billion keys per second.
2^128 keys would take 10,000 billion years if you had a billion computers doing 1 billion keys per second.
Ah, but the next track on the album is called 'Dont Post These Chords To OLGA'.

Surely any marine vessel should be running Portholes XP.

From the article's listing of the summary of the patent:
"For example, a lawyer may create a course in patent law online..."
I think the lawyer will have to learn patent law before he can be sure he can do this...
Yeah, but that cancels out with every time 100 people watch it on a wall-size projector :)

If this was in african savannah country it could be snakes on a plain.
And RTS is 'Request To Send' isnt it? Are they playing Warhammer over an RS232 link?
