Let's see, and I know this is hard to follow, but... They left on their own free will. Israel kicked out a handful of palestinians and the rest left because they did not want to be in a war zone, their choice, not Israels. I mean Israel was in no shape to evict palestinians, it were outnumbered 11 to 1 by invading arab armies. Yet who took over the palestinian lands the UN gave them, was it Israel? Nope, Jordan and Egypt. Which controlled it until 1967. Now let's see what happened then, with 1993 Oslo Peace Accords Israel was moving towards an actual peace. Until the current intifada broke out (Might I add not because of Sharon, there has been strong evidence linking Arafat to plan it). That and most of the shabby treatment of the palestinians came because of the latest intifada. Before that Palestinians were allowed to work, travel, and regularly participate in Israeli society.
Also, Palestinians, did start the violence in 1948, them and their arab Comrades. But hey, facts distort the picture people like you like to convey.
*Shrugs* I'm a.NET developer and I read slashdot(and run linux through VMWare, go VMWare). I am sure most people here are still windows users too. Hence Microsoft is targeting them, granted not as well targetted as it could be but hey... it's their money.
Yes, it still would have, I have yet to see a modem connect at 53k, most I've seen is 50k. I think at a certain point you just do not have enough bandwith in a voice line to carry that much data. So no, the reason cable/DSL came about is to replace the modem, not take advantage of regulations.
This is what my mother did, you know the ONE reason she got a PDA? If she loses it, she does not lose any of her data. She uses an organizer as her right hand man, so if that data is gone it's awful. The time invested in reentering everything is certainly worth more then the 100$ then my mom paid for her Visor.
You sir, deserve a cookie, that was quite possibly the greatest analogy I have ever heard. I also wholeheartedly agree, TV is, by it's design, a one way media. It was designed to be so, and consumers like it the way it is. Just like theatre has alot of experiments with audience interactions, but it does not really catch on. The problem is TV companies feel they need to grow their revenues to satisfy shareholders. So off course they try with iTV and they fail, so they go on to digital cable or whatever, I just say keep it as it is. I love my sattelite.
Microsoft also dropped the price it costs them to produce the X-Box no doubt. All the components they buy from other companies dropped in price. It's also probably more efficient now, in their circuit boards and stuff.
Felt nothing, my sister felt it a bit. I still remember my third night in the US I was living in Santa Barbara, and the '94 LA Quake happened. Suffice to say I was scared shitless(Israel and Russia are not earthquake hot zones). Now I rarely notice those 4 and 5 richter ones.
She did lose her Hotmail account a couple of years ago when they adopted policies to protect childrens' private information, because she was under 13 and her parent didn't want to provide a credit card to verify age for a Passport login.
Or put in a room and made to listen to the Cilion Dion CD over and over untill there brain shuts down in self defense.
NO! How could one human being inflict such things on another?
It's goddamn ridiculous that this CD can break a computer, when you are performing a legal action with it. This is illegal, and I think Sony should be fined extremely heavily for it.
So... that's like buying an OEM machine and not changing it, off course all the drivers will work. That doesn't make a Mac inherently better, just another OEM.
Notice he does not say you will not ever use it, just that you won't use it as regular input. Off course in certain situations it makes sense(main screen turn on:). In some... especially for computer input, it makes less sense.
Oh for gods sake, you know almost no OEM preloads linux, and you know you can load linux on it. So stop whining, and install linux, but don't whine about something that common.
IBM mostly patents their hardware innovation, which they have a huge R&D budget for(over a billion last time I heard). Last time I checked slashdot wasn't against patenting new hardware technology.
According to pc-104.org they take up 1-2 watts each(at least some do). That gives you at a conservative estimate 50, per 100Watt power supply, seeing as how I have seen 2000watt power supplies...:)
Slashdot Mirror
When they overheat, do they start singing "Can't touch this"?

From my understanding, Iran provides funding for terrorist groups, but I could be wrong.
I don't think so, but it's not them running it so much as their hosting company http://www.rapidsite.com/. Which runs SGI servers of all things.
Isn't there something inherently funny about a french guy posting as Annonymous Coward? :)
I program in C# and java, and to be honest, they are practically the same code wise. If you can read Java you can read C# and vice versa.

Wow! I can get paid for this?
Or even worse, Linux may have called it Anus.
There is a vast diffrence between a cluster, and a single machine.
