"impassionate" means almost the exact opposite of what you mean, in general. It means to make someone impassioned (it's a verb, not an abjective). Actually, there is one definition close to what you meant there, but it's pretty rare, I think. In fact, impassionate only appears in unabridged dictionaries. impassioned is a much more common word, and does mean the opposite of what you meant.
Is there anything stopping you from using a regular optical mouse on the side of your monitor? Or, if you have an LCD a book or peice of wood or something?
I don't know much about the bittorent protocol, but I can't imagine that the 'infohash' would be that secret, couldn't anyone find out the infohash if they could snoop trafic?
Unless the infohash was sent over an already encrypted connection, it could be snooped, and if used for an encryption key could be found.
I don't know what the guy thinks about DH key exchange, but once per connection is not a very big deal. (Although I guess with BT you connect to a lot of different machines, hmm... Also I suppose if all you want to do is obfuscate the protocol.)
Finally, I disagree that it's easy to block 'stuff that looks like line nose'. The ISP will have no idea what it is, and there's lots of encrypted information out there, like SSH/SCP, etc. If they just put what they couldn't figure out at the lowest priority, it would piss a lot of people off.
Finally, why not mask the traffic as gziped HTTP, which probably gets the highest priority.
Windows does have a fairly intricate permission system, and you can setup non-administrative users just like you can in Linux. The only difference is, lots of old software expects to be run with administrative privileges, so if you want to run those things, you need to run as admin.
The main reason people use windows is for backwards compatibility, but these days you can do most of your work in windows with a non-admin account if you want.
Is there any site that lists all the motherboards and components you can use to build these tiny machines? I've seen mini-itx.com, but it's very hard to navigate to specific boards, cases, psu's etc. It's mostly a news site, and it seems like if you don't keep up with it every day you'll have no idea what's up.
So, where do you go to find these little things? I'd love to build a PC based alarm clock.
Pretty much all of the panasonic cameras have optical image stabilization. check it out. Canon actualy kind of sucks. My SD450 blows compared to my old sony DSC-V1. Yeah, the lense is smaller, but it's also lacking basic options like a manual (stepwise) focus, and a manual shutter setting for less then one second.
If you could only carry around program with you all day, it would be much better to have a program that did everything. Similarly, if you can only carry around one or two devices all day, it's much better to do everything.
Don't most people pay to recive email? Or at least use an advertizement supported system that pays for the bandwidth, etc.
This would be a great idea if there were some sort of simple way for people to add mailing lists that they want to be on to the system, and an easy way for people to disable mailing lists that they get on accidentaly, or are sick of. So many people get on 'mailing lists' that they don't really ever subscribe to.
In fact, the censorship stuff would make people more intrested in investing.
The problem is that they missed earnings estimates (not their own estimates, but other peoples). Some people say because of a diffrent tax scheme or whatever, but I doubt that.
I found many pictures of tanks the other day, when the news of GIS.cn's censorship was posted on metafilter. Including a few chinese character queries (including tian-an-men tan-ke). One of the things to remember is that the chinese are going to be searching in chinese characters, not english.
Searching for something as simple as "tank man" or "tank square" on GIS.cn will get you the pic you're looking for, btw. As long as you don't include "tiananmen" in the query, you'll get it.
as indeed it must do, since US law is quite harsh on boards that take actions which could damage shareholder value - it also makes political sense
I belive google's board is somewhat protected from this, based on their bylaws.
I stopped paying close attention to the hardware market just after then P4 came out. The last motherboard I bought knowing what model it was an ABIT-KT7-RAID (the raid feature of which, I've never used). I have a 600mhz Duron in there to this day. I bought a 1200mhz duron, and burned it out over clocking the day I got it:P. I got another machine later, with just a generic mobo and an a '2400' chip. I know it wasn't 2400 but it was easy to think of it that way (it was supposed to compare to the P4's boosted clock speed).
But now chips have no identifying performance number at all, and I have no idea what they represent. I also have no idea what sockets or motherboards go with what. It's really quite annoying.
They mount as a regular USB FAT drive, and you can just copy files over like anything.
I recently got a Cannon SD450 (5mp) and not does the picture quality suck compared my old DSC-V1 (also 5mp, but a much larger body) I can't even copy the files to my old machine the way I could with the V1.
OTOH, the V1 was just too bulky to cary around with me all the time, while the SD450 is, and it uses a standard memory type -- no more memory sticks for me:P. I plan on getting one of these goofy things at some point, which can use CF. I might look at other brands, though. I still want something nice and small.

The word "upshot" means "benifit" Why do people use words when they don't understand what they mean?
Why should they have waited for something they didn't even know about?
Besides, AMD can license the same way they did Silicon on insulator, and apple can put AMD chips in their macs with no problems at all.

It dosn't matter how smooth the lense is, if it's too small you'll never be able to take a picture indoors.

Anyway.

Robots fighting eachother is better then men fighting eachother. Sadly, I think it will mostly be bots fighting men, but whatever.
I mean really.
If you search for "square massacre" you get this lovely image, and then there's this one you get in a search for "china tank".
I found many pictures of tanks the other day, when the news of GIS.cn's censorship was posted on metafilter. Including a few chinese character queries (including tian-an-men tan-ke). One of the things to remember is that the chinese are going to be searching in chinese characters, not english.

Hopefully people like opra will at least fact-check stuff before hanging their credibility out to dry.

Sorry, space ghost is just so damn bland. None of the jokes make any sense (other then simple repitition). It's very tiresome and dull.
I can't understand how anyone would be comfortable selling this data, but I don't understand how people can sell blood plasma either, so meh.
The basic benifit to using a 64bit machine is the ability to use more then 4gb of ram.

No. You can't violate your own copyright, so you can't voilate the GPL if you own the copyright to a software program. You would have to sue yourself.
That dosn't mean I have the right to install software on your computer so I can be.
