I graduated from Hickory HS back in '99. The only dealings I had with Eric Trosch was when he was the assistant mens tennis coach. To say the least he was a total jerk. No one on the team liked him nor could/would say anything positive about him. I could defiantly see why he could be the target of something like this. The original article in the home town paper is below for anyone interested.
I've also been playing since the previous slashdot post. To this day the game is still amazingly entertaining, and I'm always learning some new aspect of the game. Anyways gets two thumbs up from me.
Has anyone else noticed that on AMD's benchmarks all the configurations are different on all of the machines. Like some are running Windows XP Pro, RedHat 7.3, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. Makes it kind of hard to draw a clear picture. Conspiracy?:P
My hats off to the University. We had to install a very similar product at my University because P2P was consumming all of the bandwith. It got to the point that it was nearly impossible to even get a ping inbound. We have been running fine, with a few tweaks here and there. HTTP ports are more important for college students who actually DO homework and use the web. P2P should come second or even third, who's counting? If there is anything you should learn from colege, its that once your out get ready to subscribe to DSL or cable, because you can't go back to dial-up.
Anyone else notice that the natural point website site says "a cool idea ~slashdot.com". Now i know that slashdot.com will redirect you to slashdot.org, but STILL. i think they could have tried a bit harder to make their reviews a bit more accurate. Maybe its just me being stupid.
I am a lab technician at the university I attend. I am in charge of a few computer classrooms. In two of my labs we use smartboards. In my lab for education majors we have one hooked up to a PC. This then goes to a color projector, which projects to the smartboard. It is a really usefully teaching tool, that hopefully the education majors leave with a good technology background from using it. We also have a VCR, DVD player, document camera, and a MAC all hooked up to it. The students can do just about anything they want with it. I hope that very soon this technology is readily available in highschools. It would be a great advance for technology.
P.S. By the way, I instruct the students how to set up all of these componts, and it is a required class for all education majors. So hopefully every school won't require a tech for all of this tech.
How would that be selling out if Alan stayed on with Red Hat? Look, I really hate AOL with whats left of it after you take away my Microsoft hatred. But as long as the company stays the same and gives the quality of a disto I'm game. Alan and the rest of the Red Hat team could be making a big mistake if they jump ship. Not only would they have a bigger financial backing, but also a better opportunity to really make themselves BIG competition for Microsoft. If in the event they do get sold, and the distro changes for the worst because of it, screw it. There are a million distros out there. Like I said, if they get sold and stay the same, good for them and good for their bank accounts....
I do have to agree wirh you there on the how things can become boring once it hits mainstream. You also have to look at it with the business perspective. If there is money to be made, bigger and better things will come out. If there was no money to be made, all your great anime favorites would not be fancied up and made on the DVD format. I personally have been very excites to upgrade my anime collection to DVD. Also more obscure and unusual movies/series may come to the US because of the larger market. Even if anime get to be a big pop culture thing in the US, it will only be good for th edie-hard anime fans, and the bandwagon junkies as well.

Princess Mononoke was a very good movie. You can't forget the ever classic Akira though. It may be a bit much for some people well rooted in reality, but it's a must see. With the newly re-mastered versions, its breath taking. Also another highly praised "mecca" based series is Neon Genesis Evangelion. Anyone of these are very good movies for people who are not big anime fans, but would like to watch a good animated movie/series.

Anyone else notice the other auctions from this company? Just think of what you can do with 104 miles of fiber.

Tech TV's show The Screen Savers put a MAC and PC in the same box. It wasn't as cool as I thought it would be, but it worked.
