uh, how about an old station wagon? you can pick up a domestic wagon on the cheap that easily hauls 4 comfortably and has more cargo capacity than a tiny cr-v.
More idiotic moderation - two hints for you fucknuts...
1.) I have excellent karma, you aren't gonna actually do anything to me by modding me down.
2.) This post, if anything, is offtopic - by modding it redundant you've proven that you're a childish little jackass trying to show how tough he is with anonymous moderation. We all get mod points, lamer - too bad you're too much of a baby to use them effectively. If you wanna mod this down, use the correct option and call it offtopic, or overrated.
I can't speak for slackware, but I have one of the new white macbooks from Apple, and I run windows XP under parallels. I'm VERY impressed with the speed. However - I recommend oodles of RAM if you're gonna virtualize. Also realize that the macbook is dual core so there's essentially a processor available for each OS. I have no idea how well it would work on a single core or older machine.
They are damned smart? They sound like damned assholes to me. Since your boss is a dickhead, I should lose features? Sounds like you're not too far from your boss on the asshole-scale to me...
I'm really starting to wonder if windows administrators should be working at my local burger king instead of with computers. It seems an awful lot of MS policy is dictated by these neanderthols. Hey - nice encryption feature added, and admins freak because they don't know how to block it. Sounds like the administrator's fault - they can't keep their users from installing unauthorized software? Encrypted folders should be the LEAST of their worries.
It reminds me of the idiotic microsoft security fix cycle. Every user in the world has to wait for MS patch day because some whiney admins wanted to be able to schedule their vacation time. Hey jackasses - if you don't want to update on a given day, don't update on that day. Why should the rest of us be waiting for a fix to fit someone else's schedule?
Thanks for the cut and paste... keeps people from clicking on TFA. It's bad enough that fucking advertisement troll roland gets his shit posted here on slasdot... they actually gave him a blog on zdnet now!?!?!??? Dear God, next thing you know TrollAxor will be working for Fox News (well, that might be an improvement from O'Reilley).
however for a large percentage of things tested the differences are so small they are negligible
This is an incorrect interpretation. Some things are chaotic, and some are not. Things that are chaotic have regimes where they behave chaotically and regimes where they do not.
Also, you don't need a fart or butterfly wing to make a coupled pendulum sensitive to initial conditions, the simple fact that it's impossible to exactly replicate the position is enough. any difference, even a single atom's width, will lead to paths in phase space which eventually diverge.
I don't get what you're saying. How is it a scam? They pay the farmer for the power, plus a little bonus as an incentive to use otherwise wasted gas to provide an environmentally friendly source of power. I personally think it's an awesome idea - I wish there were more incentive for people to use and produce alternative power sources.
Wow, a blog that quotes "news articles" from a year, and doesn't even tell you what publication those articles are in. I'm convinced. I'd love to see a REAL source for these quotes - because if they are true, that dude was a right bastard.
Right. I'm sure NO physicist ever had that idea, tested it, and found that it completely clashes with every shred of experimental evidence we have about how gravity works.
This is why I hate pop physics books - they put the moronic notion in peoples' heads that physics is possible without math. Until you've come up with some mathematical equations that match experimental data, your idea holds about as much merit as intelligent design. Armchair physics is pointless - concepts alone aren't enough to understand the universe. If you want to write a science fiction book using those ideas, feel free - but to claim your ramblings have any connection with the real world is laughable.
Of course, dude... just because you think a guy's meat and potatos isn't something you wanna look at, that MUST mean you are secretly a homosexual. It's all repressed, see. Like, I am not a cat person.... that means I secretly LOVE the little feline fuckers.
my favorite place in decatur is the brick store inn - after georgia lifted its ban on high gravity beers, the brick store got a lot of high quality belgian beers. I'm also a big fan of the vortex in little five points, because they have a dedicated scotch menu and the best burgers in atlanta.
I've never been to Trackside, but love some good wings, so I'll have to check it out.
A high-end bluetooth headset today already costs 200+, so having a bluetooth with bone conduction technology in the same ballpark is hardly unreasonable.

Aaaaand again, not for mac
Redundant? I was like the second post in the discussion. God damn are you mods fucking retarded.
CPU emulation != virtualization (at least in common usage).
Show me an open source, or free as in beer, parallels and I'll change my mind.

virtualization is essentially free wherever you might want to use it.
Unless your host OS happens to be Mac OS.

Uh... maybe it would be nice to find them, take them to the place that can read them, and COPY THEM ONTO SOME OTHER MEDIA? I dunno, just a thought.
I'm going to go back to playing Duke Nukem Forever
Come on, be realistic... this fake scenario is only 14 years away.
The odor of ripe, fermenting open-source zealot is already nauseating enough.
That's free software zealot, you fascist!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with the balls to say it. This idea ranks right up there with the electric universe crackpots.
Leave it to slashdot to mod up crackpots and mod down people who actually, you know, believe in the scientific method.
This discussion is degrading and humiliating... if only someone could put it in suppository form...
Well damn... what a bastard.

Next thing we'll have accusations of people using steroids, not to make them stronger, but to shrink their testicles, to cut down on yambag drag.
Dude... a guy in a speedo is NEVER nice to see. Ever.
