I suspect if everyone started using Linux and Macs, then we'll start seeing more viruses and worms written for them. For the most part, if you regularly keep your MS system updated and patched, these worms and viruses aren't really a problem.
Assuming the shocks don't punch through the frame under his weight and the underpowered engine somehow moves with him in it, you can look forward to him cruising past your neighbourhood with "Developers! Developers! Developers!" blasting on the stereo.
Aren't you trembling with excitement already? Doesn't matter if you're not. I know I am.
The problem with UV LEDs is that they have a short lifespan. The UV light that the LED emits tends to break down both the LED die itself and the resin most low-power LEDs are usually encased in.
"...the bike probably has more horsepower than most/. readers' cars..."
A much greater horsepower to weight ratio, yes. However the bike won't have more horsepower than most cars. Its engine displacement is 1100cc. The engine displacement of an average car is at least 1500cc to 3000cc, depending on where you live.
you haven't seen the worst of them yet. i once saw a couple of kids on the train who started grooving to a rap song that started playing on one of their phones. by grooving, i mean complete with the crotch-grabbing, foot-stomping, and hand-waving that rappers like to do. i nearly wanted to beat them to death with my clunky nokia 6150.
I've noticed that I tend to make numerous grammar and spelling errors that I don't notice if I type essays, reports, or slashdot posts when I'm tired. Errors that seemed correct at the time I typed them stand out sore thumbs when I read through them again, especially when I've just woken up in the morning or something. I think this would apply to methods at solving problems, mathematical or otherwise. Your brain simply doesn't work as well and as efficiently when its tired than when its well rested and fresh.
"you don't really need a projector to enjoy the "big-screen" effect"
that's all i was saying. one of the disadvantages most people perceive a movie screened on a computer to have is the small screen, and that's what i was addressing. i DID NOT dictate how, where and with whom people should watch their movies with.
when i watch a movie at home, i usually do so specifically because i don't want people around who might interrupt me. if i wanted company (and interruptions) i'd go to a cinema.
actually most decent computer monitors have a much higher resolution than any regular TV or projector. if the picture isn't big enough, then sit closer to the monitor..you don't really need a projector to enjoy the "big-screen" effect;-)
i live in singapore, and i have a 512k ADSL unlimited connection, which runs about $65 (US$38) every month. you can also subscribe to cheaper plans which have a time or download/upload limit.
oh and just to add on, i'll include an extract from the email universal studios productions sent to my ISP (which was forwarded to me when my ISP emailed me regarding the complaint):
"This unauthorized copying and distribution constitutes copyright infringement under applicable national laws and international treaties. Although various legal and equitable remedies may be available to Universal as a result of such infringement, Universal believes that the entire Internet community benefits when these matters are resolved cooperatively. We urge you to take immediate action to stop this infringing activity and inform us of the results of your actions. We appreciate your efforts toward this common goal"
i've already received two warning letters from my ISP due to abuse complaints from both baytsp which was mentioned in the article and univerisal city studios productions about me sharing movies on bit torrent, so you might want to be more careful.
I have little sentiments for people who buy 30 bucks K7S5A boards in 50 bucks cases+PSU and wonder why it bombs out now and then.
its probably due to the crappy PSU. i've been using a ECS K7S5A board for 2 years now, and its been rock stable and problem free, not to mention i got it at a bargain. bios updates are readily available from the ecs website, and they came often enough.
you'll probably just end up grabbing someone insignificant. the real spammers aren't always nigerian, hence the guy that comes maybe just be someone recruited to front the job. that's probably why all the scammers in the pictures are black, despite evidence that many of the scammers may not actually be nigerians. the actual spammer wouldnt' pose for the photos if he were white.
the idea that we evolved from apes might not have 100% undeniable proof to back it up right now, but plenty of scientific evidence suggests that is what happened.
in any case, i don't think you're wrong. in fact, you might be right. what i was trying to say is that the way some christians have gone about trying to prove their point and the arguments are silly:)
if only all christians were like you (honestly). the large majority of christians i meet everyday never hesitate to attempt to force their christianity down my throat and up my ass. no offence, but sometimes the hostility a lot of atheist display towards people of faith is largely due to the actions of the religious fanatics (of any religion).

That was fucking awesome. You're now on my list of friends.
Well said. Nothing better like a drop of reason in a pool of confusion.
in case anyone needs a visual/audio experience use this link:

i think the least the slashdot community could do to show their support for the dell linux blog is to not slashdot their blog. IMHO of course.

its ok...i guess you must have missed the ;-) in my original post :)

seems pretty fair to me.

or just have the government restrict the setting up of white-label ATMs. i live in singapore, and i've never seen or used a white-label ATM before.

more like people don't want to admit that the people they're raising are more intelligent than themselves, especially when it comes to computers.

too bad there would be the ever-present danger of accidentally attaining escape velocity to put a damper on things.
