Dang, I just built a Dual Athlon MP system, with 1GB of RAM, two 2600+ processors, a 10000 RPM drive, 5900 video card, wireless networking (Or you can use the gigabit ethernet plug, and a dual layer DVD/CD burner for 85)$. I suppose you could downgrade that burner to the combo drive to reach your price point.
"Of course gun traffickers just send people to east bumfuck to stock up and guns and bring them back to the cities so it's pointless anyways but you can see why those states have gun control laws."
Er...not really. You just pointed out that the law is totally ineffective.
I think another thing working against these sorts of claims is credibility. I've been seeing these claims for my entire life from the enviromentalists, I just ignore them now.
Good luck with that. Notice that gun control is one of the big lefty policies. Now go look at the states that voted for Kerry. Illinois (Chicago), California, New Jersey, New York...all of them make it very hard, if not impossible to own a gun.
So, when the shooting starts, you'll have a bunch of people who think guns are evil and probably have never touched a gun, versus people who have been using guns for most of their adult lives.
"If you increase a forest's temperature by about 5 degrees, you double its risk of forest fire."
Seriously, what makes you think you can get away with statements like this on slashdot?
At what temperature is there 0 risk? What about rain? Is there a 100% risk point? What kind of area are we talking about? Haven't we learned that periodic forest fires are part of the cycle of life for a forrest?
Yeah, sorry about that. We'll pull our aircraft carrier and troops out of Malaisa and those other countries hit by the Tsunami. Damn Americans. Providing fresh water, mobile airfields, command structure, delivering food, medicine and other supplies.
To primarily Moslem areas. Americans, keep your military in your own damn country. No one likes a nosy neighbor.
How many Chinese people do you know can afford to pay 20$ for a DVD player?
Well, according to http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/gyzg/t179428.htm , the average income has gone up 2.5 times.
Assuming that their cost of living has stayed level, I'd every single person who's income has gone up 100% can afford a 40$ DVD player. Because their costs have stayed the same but their disposable income has grown.
So what would that be, hundreds of millions of Chinese?
Slashdot Mirror
Give me a break. Think about the moronic words you're trying to put in my mouth, and try again.
(blink)
They probably weren't right? You're not sure?
You should look into that issue, don't ya think?
There is no difference. It just depends on your point of view.

Enviromentalists shut down the nuclear reprocessing plants which made nuclear power much cheaper.
Enviromentalists used FUD to make voters scared shitless about the word "Nuclear"
Enviromentalists are burning cars, spiking trees, and have set off EXPLOSIONS at nuclear plants.
I'm blaming the enviromentalists until they start educating and stop spreading FUD.
Sorry, but deadly poison gasses to be used on other people IN YOUR COUNTRY are never made by people with brains.
Seriously, using poison gas in a civil war? Are you nuts?

It's 500$ in the US because we don't have the VAT and whatever tax the EU commision dreams up.
um...
Well if Apple doesn't want people to have a Gig of RAM, why did they make it an option?
It looks like they do want people to be able to get a Gig of RAM, and you have absolututely no idea what you're talking about.
As near as I can tell, it's the same old superdrive that's been in Macs for years.
Considering my roomate couldn't read my DVD-R with once, I wouldn't touch it.
"Why does one person need 5 static IP's to their house? I mean... Isn't NAT good enough? How many servers does one household need?!"
Well duh. Obviously 5.
Someone give this man a mod point!
I think another thing working against these sorts of claims is credibility. I've been seeing these claims for my entire life from the enviromentalists, I just ignore them now.
Sorry but unless the enviromentalists start pushing nuclear power, you're going to have to wait until the world runs out of coal and oil.
At which point we'll switch to nuclear anyways.
Good luck with that. Notice that gun control is one of the big lefty policies. Now go look at the states that voted for Kerry. Illinois (Chicago), California, New Jersey, New York...all of them make it very hard, if not impossible to own a gun.

What's your scientific prediction of the outcome?

Yeah, cause the ones that were wiped off the face of the planet left huge boulders behind with "Native tribe used to be here!" engraved on them.
If you can't figure out that a campground that's ankle deep in water is a bad place to be, I call that Dawin in action.
I'm still not following you. The average controller has multiple channels. Fine. Good.
So what?
How does this affect me?
Well, according to http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/gyzg/t179428.htm , the average income has gone up 2.5 times.

I'm not kidding or trying to be funny guys. Have you seen the prices for a new Amiga PC? around 1500$ fully stocked.
900$ just for the board and CPU.
Stop laughing!
(blink)
Only 400Mbps? My media/video storage/fileserver runs though the network at 100Mbps. Works great.
What the heck do you plan on doing that will require more than 400Mbps? That's moving a 9Gb DVD in three minutes!
And why do you think attaching two seperate firewire devices to the box will make things better? Get a firewire hub if you must.
I was thinking of getting one, just to see what the AmigaOS is like.
Can't you daisy chain firewire drives?
Seems like you have plenty of room to me. Want to record more? Buy a 500GB drive and firewire case. Need more? Buy more.
You can't open the box without spreading FUD.
