I agree.... I think this is to bury all the stupid things the Reagan Administration (including what Rumsfield and Bush Sr.) did Like selling chemical and biological weapons to Iraq, etc...
Yup, caulk me up with those Americans who support our troops, but think our president is a jackass...
Oh yeah, Rumsfield is a piece of civil liberties stealin shit as well...
I'd really love to have 10 of these little guys, But.
1. Only Bill Gates or someone similarily funded cound afford to ever have this..
2. It's short 58cm tall.
3. The old version, on a full charge lasted 20 mins... hopefully fuel cells or micro turbines will solve this problem.
What I'd really like is a whole army those these guys, only I'd like them to be 6 feet tall and strong enough to do construction work! We could put cute little construction hats on them! Oh wait, I've been watching the animatrix too much;-)
I think a course taught by the guy who's the lead programmer for OpenBSD would kick ass.
The class would be taught on OpenBSD and your class project would be to implement some kind of server. Be it a finger daemon or some p2p protocol or something.
I'd sign up for it in an instant...
As for the whole microsoft teaching security...
(now for the obligatory slashot MS dig!) "Microsoft teaching security is like driving to save gas..."
I always wondered why there as no open flames inside taco bell...
I did some research on the web... I guess they had this special with tiki torches... after the 3rd methane explosion they realized it was probably a bad idea...
Now, if some cracker was to break into the enviromental controls for Saddams bunker and sufficate his dumb ass, I don't the US would be that pissed about the situation, other than slapping some general around and saying "Why didn't you think of that dipshit!"
However, defacing websites only sends one message... your an idiot who can use script kiddie tools... Why don't you do something more productive, like participate in the Democratic process and let your elected officals know how you feel about the war, what you think your country should be doing to prevent war.
One of my buddies has one of these and it kicks ass. He has software on his computer that allows him to archive the mpeg2 stream off the replay unit. He then makes custom DVD's with menus and the works.
The uncool feature of the Replay unit is that it has to "call home" and get some authorization to continue working (I think every 30 days)
I'm speculating that they'll either continue this feature and your subscription will just transfer to this new company or they'll send down a software update that'll turn off this feature.
I'm on a quest to build my own PVR using an haupauge DVR capture card (with a mpeg2 hardware encoder) that'll allow me to archive content to DVD (but I want to do it so it's all automatic) I don't need menus and all that stuff. I just want to pop in a DVD-R and scroll down choose which shows I want to archive and hit the "archive" button and presto, (after 15 minutes) out pops a DVD.
When we want a good hack and slash, lets tear through the dungeon dismembering zombies while sadistically laughing, we play NWN / Diablo2.
When we want a deep engaging role playing experience, we go buy 8 liters of Mountain Dew, assorted machine produced snacks, whip out the books / paper / pens / pencils / dice and have a very fun, very engaging interesting adventure.
Maybe I read too much or I'm too tied to the old ways... It just seems to me that all RPG's are too shallow... Note: there are notable exceptions, but I'm talking in general...
Don't like my views... comment, don't moderate me down.
Well that's the thing. Most fast food places have to pay to get rid of their waste cooking oil by the gallon. So, if you come along with a 55 gallon drum and offer to siphon some off, I don't see how any self respecting manager of a fast food place is going to turn you down.
And replacing all the cars with biodiesel ones just shifts the problems. However, it would be cool to have a converted big rig that ran on waste cooking oil.
Yeah, but that old mercedes coupe can be modifited to run on waste vegetable oil, so instead of choking fumes, you get the french fry smell instead...

Personally, I just bought a regular non hybrid civic (I wanted the hybrid sedan, but it was just too much money) and my civic has consistenty gotten 38mpg.

I would think this product would entice people to go buy a TiVo instead... After they go home and tell the thing to record Law and Order so they can watch it later and it refuses... and they take the thing back and exchange it for a tivo...
I work my ass off and write a program and when I send it to my boss he's always sitting infront of his monitor at a different angle and it looks and works totally different.
Provided those "new sounds and styles" sound something like Britney Spears, N*Sync, Justin Timberlake, Limp Bisket or Eminem.
As long as musicians are being forced into draconian contracts and a majority of the radio stations are owned by two megacorporations, music will be neither creative or free.
I like your sig. However, since Easter is a coopted pagan holiday, I don't think Jesus would be too keen on it for a bunch of other reasons... Well, considering what people do in his name, he'd probably be siding with the pagans...
Hmm, it makes you wonder if the possibily could have saved that other huge expensive communications satelite that they decided to dump into the pacific. I'm sure a whole bunch of "why didn't we do that!" email is floating around...

A Senator that's actually in touch with reality???? HOLY $HIT.
Everybody break out the skates, hell has offically frozen over!
On a serious note, I'm glad that somebody has a clue up there...

I'm totally okay with that. The Japanese build good stuff.

My honda civic was built in Ohio by Americans.
Yeah, but that old mercedes coupe can be modifited to run on waste vegetable oil, so instead of choking fumes, you get the french fry smell instead...

Firstly: For 17 Million bucks, he can suck it up and take one for the team...
Secondly: Good thing spiderman wears a mask... Hey Tobey, if you read Slashdot... they're called "stunt doubles"
www.greasecar.com</ a? is the site your looking for... A former co-workers's Jetta TDI runs on biodiesel/cooking oil. He's getting 80MPG...
Lets think about this for a second...
The guy rolls into a 4th of July party in a 1/5th scale german tank (Panzer) because their not drinking American beer...
That makes tons of sense...
Maybe the Earth's tummy was rumbling because it had the munchies... being 4:20 and all...

If(artist (sounds like) britney Spears) then
send (artist) to (every radio station)
else
shitcan (artist)
end if
