Why does everyone insist we need to do absoultely everything over TCP/IP? We already have this interesting thing called the telephone network that works quite well at this very thing.
Sorry for the trollish retort, but it seems like we should solve other very real *problems* with software, instead of going out of the way to propose yet another trendy TCP/IP enabled whatever.
A fleet of rabid attack lawyers has been dispatched to the area regarding an alleged copyright infrigement. No comment on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
I live about two miles from the Gunbarrel area, and I this story is the first I've heard about it. The area here consists of a lot of bored hicks, and we all know the sorts of things bored hicks try to generate a ruckus about.
Take two Coors Lights and call me in the morning.
Aren't there hundreds of these objects of similar size flying around in the Kuiper belt and it has already been decided to not classify any of them as planets? How is this a significant discovery?
As traditional "gripped" mice are the most dangerous instrument for repetitive stress syndrome, most people will flat out refuse to use a device that slowly cripples you over time.
Well at least they now have scantily clad women in the ads for this story, marking the first point where the ads started becoming more fascinating than the storeis on slashdot.
"What's most interesting about the story is that IBM will be producing.1 Micron Chips rather than the usual.25 or.18 produced by Intel and other chip makers, or.13 Micron chips they currently make for their PowerPC chips."
Um, Intel and AMD have been on.13 micron for months,.18 and.25 are the equivalent of British museum ancient history at this point. And by the time this plant opens, Intel will have completed the transition to.09 micron (now starting to be called 90 nanometers). So the die size of this plant is somewhat obsolete at best.
The beauty of the free market is obvious in this case. If people don't read the spam, if money never flows to spammers, then they get weeded out and will simply cease to exist. As it stands now, there is lots of money to be made in spam, and our advertising-swallowing culture gobbles it up. Just don't buy, and watch as they die.
You can buy the 333 boards, and the 2700 memory, but AMD processors don't actually support anything better than a 133DDR=266 FSB speeds. You will only see a very marginal improvement in performance between 266 and 333 at this point in time. But the good thing is that AMD will come out with 166ddr=333 FSB support sometime soon, and popping one of these new processors in your existing mobo will allow true 333 FSB speeds.
That none of these cards support dual inline stereo couplers, and that in order to maximize throughput you will need to get a card with a subsonic harmonic A/D converter with logic analysis onboard.
I had a similar experience with Handspring- went through three of them in a month due to hardware defects. Probably because the handheld market is very crowded and highly competitive: everyone needs to cut corners and get prices down faster. Your best bet is probably to just shell out more greenbacks for a less advanced product and hope the quality is better.
Sorry to be so blunt, but has noone here ever taken a high school economics class? YOU the consumer are always in complete control of the price of any product. If you think that broadband is too expensive, don't buy it. Demand starts dropping, as does the price. Why would anyone (except those who never took high school economics, I suppose) not realize this? Economic freedeom is a great thing.
Since the Xbox runs off of a standard Pentium III, it by definition can do nothing but run x86 code. I think what you're trying to say here is that you want to be waken up when you can run *arbitrary* x86 code.:)
Could someone who knows more about this please explain to me why space debris is a problem? I know that there is a tremendous amount of drag from the upper upper atmosphere, especially in LEO, and I know that if you don't regularly keep pushing satellites up every now and then, they will eventually spiral in and burn up in the atmosphere. Isn't the same true for space debris? Even if it's a small object, those speeds mean drag and all this clutter should be falling back in and burning up. Is this not how it really is?

This is quite possibly the nerdiest thing I have ever heard of. Dorkahedrons unite!

Better come up with a trackball version, stat.

The printer can't take much more of this captain-

How about a day for the people who are actually doing the work, rather than a day for people who merely keep the tools clean.

This is incredibly fascinating. I honestly don't know if I'd rather read this article or study up on Boron.
Why is this article posted to this dinky little uninformative review?
There's a Real Review over at Tom's.

This is quite possibly the biggest snoozer of an article I've ever seen. *Passes out from boredom and whacks head on mouse* #%&@!$
Yeah not to mention the Boeing 747 requires computers to operate, and that "crazy newfangled" technology is behind the safest model ever made.

that most of use geeks nervously bite nails and other sloppy habits, this bit of news probably explains why our life expectancy is 26 years.
