  1. Quite Simple: BILL GATES, THE ROAD AHEAD on Writers Who Will Stand the Test of Time? · · Score: 1

    With quotes like this I certainly hope Bill Gates' book is a classic for the ages. It would be a shame if his genius wasn't preserved for generations to come.

    "The obvious mathematical breakthrough would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers" - Bill Gates, The Road Ahead

  2. computer junkyard animal on What's Your Halloween Costume? · · Score: 1

    I gathered together all of the other pieces of hardware I could find. Mainly old motherboards and cards. Stuff from 8088's, 286's, 386's, and even some 486's. I used hotglue to fashion it into a torso suit, thigh-pads, gloves, and a helmet of sorts. It's as geeky as you can get. And the way I see it, I'm setting a new trend. In 100 yrs when all the landfills are filled with old hardware, a lot of people are going to be wearing clothes like this.

  3. Re:Never heard of any such Cesium project... on MIT To Release Next-Generation OS "Cesium" · · Score: 1, Informative

    No listing of any "Dunkirk" in the Alumni directory, no Athena locker for him:

    ~%add hdunkirk
    hdunkirk: Locker unknown.

    and nada on the finger @lcs either. Oh, and nothing about either "Dunkirk" or "Cesium" at The Tech. Seems like vaporware with a vaporcreator to me.

  4. I do this for a living too. on Undercover Hacking, For Money · · Score: 5, Funny

    My neighbors pay me to do this as well. I check out their home security on a nightly basis. Usually they don't have the cash laying around to pay me, so I just grab TV's, VCR's, computers, etc, as payment. Of course, the way we play the game, if they catch me breaking in they call the police, but otherwise I get to keep the stuff. It's real fun, you guys should play with your neighbors..
