My favorite part was "wider variety of standards". You know what they say... "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from."
I'm up in Sault Ste. Marie ON. We went accross the river to SSM Michigan where they had power! Bought ice, wind-up clock, beer, batteries for the radio, and went to Pizza Hut. Came home and listened to the CBC while we drank out on the front steps. That was a wicked cool night. So quiet and calm.
I worked in a university computer lab for a semester. We used to take the dead floppy's and hang them on the wall as a warning to other students. By the end of the semester we had about twenty (fairly small school).
What always amazed me was, how surprised everybody was when they saw them. It's astounding how many people think that floppys are/were a good, failure-proof storage medium.
VPN can be a real resource hog... word is though, that the Via C3 has some sort of processor level instructions to help accelerate this. Has anbody else heard of this?
Wait wait wait... Use of Mary Jane isn't illegal (at least here in Canada (at least, I think it's not)). Instead, it's the actual posession that's illegal. So, why not do the same thing for spam? Make address CD's and spamming software illegal? And if you want to get a CD for research purposes, get it through proper legal channels. The same way that medical marijuana is obtained.
Yeah, but what about replay value? I'm playing Splinter Cell right now, and I can't help but think that I've paid $60 for a game that I can only really play once (ok, twice if I replay it on the hard skill level).
For a graphical browser... Opera! I realize that it isn't all that light on the RAM, but the sheer speed of the renderer makes up for it (in my case anyway). The Mrs. runs it on her P200 (under Win98), and she absolutly swears by it... says it makes her dial-up feel like broadband. So, there you have it... my 0.02. But really, give it a try, you don't really have anything to lose, and most people are quite surprised!
Whoa! I just thought of something. Here in Ontario it's against the law to serve inoxicated patrons (I think you can lose your liquor liscence). What kind of laws are there about this in the monkey's state. And who would be responsible (since it's self-served)?
I think that geeks of all sorts (both computer, and engineering for example) have fiercely independent personallities. The difference comes when you consider the costs of development. Engineers tend to deals with physical structures that need to be built and tested. That means that they are more likely to carefully consider their design, and borrow from previous designs (since, if the design fails, the cost of hard materials to build another, slightly tweaked widget would be high). Computer geeks have the luxury of engaging in incremental development, and test as they build. This is (in my opinion) more condusive to "going your own way".
from "Running Linux" from O'Rielly. This book covers everything from histroy, installing, management, and tools in a logical, and easy to follow order. It's coverage is focused on the command prompt, which is probably best since that's where most experienced users find they can get the most work done
It was my introduction to Linux, an has served me well ever since as a reference.
Oh... it's bad for them! Since they already know what they know (and have it recorded), and they now know what you know, they'll need about double the storage. Double, that is, if you haven't been through somebody's "memories" too!
Maybe I should invest in a storage technology company.

Agreed. This is the "correct answer", and with any luck, RSS readers will notify the user and stop making requests.

This is the ultimate off-site backup!
You're talking about this one perhaps?
Right on!
Hey, you aren't the AC that I replied to here are you? That would just be too wierd!

Sold! For some of us "hippies" (me included), nothing would make us happier!

Ah! Here it is! It's the encryption that the C3 seems to rip through.

Well, yes, that's the obvious response. However, it would at least provide a tool to go after spammer's with.

OK... time for me to bang my drum.

maybe you can pick his brain: lucentrigs.com
That is way funny to us ColdFusion programmers!
That actually a really cool idea. However, you wouldn't want that rad thingy on the back of the fridge inside your case due to heat issues.
OH MY FREAKIN' HEAD!!!
yeah, but... somebody is probably going to get busted over this right (you gotta figure)? So what are the legal ramifications?

Recent? Well, yeah I guess, but even relatively ancient games like Kings Quest has resonably realistic walking models (for its time of course).

No kidding... who wants their wife to find out about that porn sight that you accidentally (*ahem*) visited.
Seriously scary stuff!
