I think this *should* be it: http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/blades/product s/bh7800/index.html
"The HP Blade Server bh7800 Chassis architecture incorporates network switching, storage interconnect, and space for multiple servers into a single, highly available chassis infrastructure. The horizontally scaled 38-slot, 13U-high HP Blade Server bh7800 chassis has both front and back access. It supports from 1 to 16 server blades, 1 or 2 network blades, 1 to 16 storage blades of multiple types, and an intelligent management blade."
If you're into the whole MMORPG genre this is a great game to give as a gift. They give the first month of game-play for free (first hit is always free, eh?) and then it's around $12/month after that if you go on a month-by-month plan.
Gameplay itself is quite similar to Everquest, only many things are a lot more refined (combat, trade skills, guilds, personalization of avatars/characters, etc).
http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/ is the companies main URL. It's made by Mythic, who is VERY well known for making MUDs and other online RPGs, but this is their very first true hit in the market IMO.
If nothing else, check out some of the screen shots... They've got great scenery and character models. http://www.darkageofcamelot.com/screen_shots/index.html
Most of all, good luck this christmas. I sure as hell have no idea what I'm getting anyone, lol.
I'm sure that if the designers of said "computer generated celebrity" have any choice in the matter they'll "lease" the characters they make to movie makers... Not sure you'll be able to avoid salary increases TOTALLY, but if the movie production company itself has exclusive rights to the characters, they're golden.
Gotta be the card (NVidia based). 1.2ghz TBird, 512mb DDR, and (of course) a GeForce2 Pro. It must be the drivers. Hopefully this patch'll work wonders though, I'm getting sick of waiting to friggin' scroll!

.7" thick seems like it might be a bit much personally... I have a uniden unipro that's about.6, and that seems a little too thick even. Ahh well. This seems like a nice little device.;D
How could it be useless to test out something like that? I'm sure something like that would come in incredbily handy when it comes to most types of organ surgery. It'd allow you to only cut at a certain depth through tissue so you could avoid doing any serious damage if anything goes wrong. Whats so useless about that?
You dare not recognize the Eye of the Beholder series in your dungeon-crawler schema?! I still, to this day, think that those are some of the best first-person RPG's that ever lived. Although they didn't have a huge plot it was about as close as you could get to tabletop RPG in a bite-sized candy shell, imo.
"Ep-I DVD owners should be able to view the trailers on starwars.com once Monsters, Inc. hits theaters."
Did I miss a previous story on this? Do you get a special key or something when you buy episode one so that you can view future trailers before they're allowed out to the general public?
Good point. Most digital solutions also have the ability (on an event) to cache up the video too... That way you can have it "record" from 5-10 seconds before the event happened, as opposed to the instant it does.
Event-triggered recording would save a TON of storage and bandwidth requirements.
Yeah, that's the whole thing. It seems like a lot of kids are growing up a *ton* earlier than I did... It's about time some material comes out to show for it. Any other suggestions people can come up with for books aimed at the 5-9 crowd would be great because I'm sure that SOME slashdotters have children. Having them read O`Reilly books on perl and BSD, though educational, probably isn't entertaining.
Hell, my 5 year old cousin can play (and beat) solitaire. I'm sure she could figure out this book. Maybe I'll look into getting it for her.
American Power Conversions (APC) has an awesome hardware support department and turn around time. We deal with them VERY often since we sell one with almost every PC and security panel we offload. I've had my share of stuff from them go bad (mostly batteries dying off prematurely), but they handle everything quite well.
As for *bad* hardware, we used to sell tons and tons of Acer monitors with our systems. For whatever reason the guns seem to go bad in them painfully fast, usually gifting you with a urine-tinted screen. I've probably seen 8-9 of them go in the time I've worked here (3 years(ish)).
They're not the best in replacing them without complaints, either.

Blade/Chassis links to the same image, I'll try to dig up the URL for the actual chassis.

I don't see any mention of this on their official site. Anyone have a link to the data sheets?
Hah, anyone else see the ICQ/MSN/AOL icons in his system tray? Nothing like having 3 IM programs and being invisible in them all.
The console is $49.95, but the ARCADE STICK is still $59.95? Come on! Always wanted one, but it's just not worth it for the price.

Do yourself a favor:
Make a PR representative from UPS aware of this article. Make them aware that 1300+ people have COMMENTED on it, and probably 20,000+ have viewed it.
If you want a response, that'll get it. Guaranteed.

ASCII streams at 1200 baud != good.

"..finally get a decent workout (not just their wrists).."
Nevermind, I'm not even going to say it.
And here I read it as "Meyer May Have Wiped Out Middle East Civilization".
WAYYYY too much Civ3, methinks. Time to take a break.
