An unexpected windfall has enabled my husband and me to plan a road trip next year
So grandpa finally kicked the bucket, eh? Why don't you think about what he would have liked to spend the money on? Maybe find a young, hot gold digger and shower her with money. Maybe you'll get a threesome out of it. After that, if you're still hung up on this museum thing you can all go check out the Erotic Heritage Museum. I'm sure grandpa would approve.
Remains are one thing, but sending your kid's teeth or whatever to space??
Wait... actually I'll do it for $25/gram. I assure you I will deliver your parcel to "space" --I've got space in my garage, heh-- and you can get the kid a telescope and tell him to look for it. No need for a wasteful rocket launch. I get paid, the kid gets a thrill and you get plausible deniability (I paid to send it to space, I swear!). Everybody wins.
No, I think $550 sounds about right. When I read "get a PC" on slashdot, I assume that means go to newegg and buy the parts, not go to best buy bent over with your pants down.
Skimp on everything but the drives and you'll probably even come in under budget and have much more processing capability than you need for a backup server.
OK, boxes of ballots, bars of soap... they all become lethal projectiles at sufficient speed, but I don't understand the jury. Why not just launch jurors one at a time? It would require greater targeting precision but you would need a lot less energy, and it should make your reload time a lot shorter.
t also seems a bit unfair to bring up a totally new issue
So this court and law stuff is supposed to be all about fairness?? It seems like it's always a lawyer fucking somebody, the judge fucking you over, or lawyers fucking each other, or a lawyer fucking their client, or two people fucking each other, while their lawyers fuck them too and the judge is just watching. Yeah I really though court was just about fucking people.
Blizzard just wants to ensure that people aren't running a 16-player LAN game using <16 legitimate copies of the game.
Instead of requiring everyone to use battle net, how about some alternatives? Maybe like a Blizzard-licensed USB anal probe that activates SC2 LAN mode... Brando would probably sell it.
Seriously though, why are game companies so quick to fuck their paying customers up the ass these days in the name of fighting piracy? They may well reduce piracy but they also lose sales from people who don't want to be jerked around. I'm a long-time PC gamer but I don't buy any game that requires an Internet connection to "activate" or to play multiplayer. I shouldn't need to "ask for permission" to play locally.
UOA and WUVESDFA and very well employed in the article summary. They are great tactics to keep the reader guessing about WTF they are reading. Furthermore, overuse of hyperlinks is a big problem these days. A summary need link to nothing more than a single article, which no one will read anyway. Any other linking to clarify the meaning of the story is just wasteful. Lets hear it for more Unidentified Obscure Acronyms (UOA) and greater use of Wait Until the Very End of the Summary to Define the Fucking Acronym (WUVESDFA)!
They better be careful up there lifting shit like that! I don't know whether OSHA has an jurisdiction in space, but either way those astronauts better be using good team lift practices with those batteries because the last thing we need is for one of them to throw their back out up there!
I too have a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. I use it exclusively under Linux and it's a great little mouse.
However, I recently bought a new Microsoft bluetooth mouse for when I'm on the go: the Mobile Memory Mouse 8000. This mouse this is unreal. It supports 2.4 GHz RF AND Bluetooth. You can use it with the included USB RF receiver, or the computer's built-in bluetooth by flipping a switch on the bottom of the mouse. I use it in Bluetooth mode with my laptop, but if I need to work on a PC or a server which has a grimy or poorly-functioning mouse, I pull out the USB receiver and use my own mouse.
Batteries are an issue with all cordless mice unless you carry extras. Well, the Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 includes a thin magnet-tipped cord that attaches to the end of the USB receiver and the bottom of the mouse to charge the battery while you're using it! I've only ever had to use it once, but it was great to have that option.
If all that wasn't enough, the included USB RF receiver?... is also a 1 GB flash drive! This mouse has everything but a kitchen sink! The only downside might be that its shape is a little unconventional, but it doesn't bother me. It's pretty small too, but I like small laptop mice. The clicking and scrolling are nearly silent which is great for using it during quiet meetings/presentations. It feels weird raving about a Microsoft product but the Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 is the coolest mouse I've ever owned. It's even very reasonably priced! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826105088
I would totally code with my boss. If she was leaning over my shoulder and inviting me to her bedH^H^H reminding me about the project schedule, I could code like all of Windows 7 before lunch.
So I guess my coding happy place is where the women are hot and the project milestones involve sex.
lucky Australian fans are scheduled to see the movie first, as it opens a day before the American release.
And if it wasn't opening a day before in Australia... they wouldn't get to see it first?? (before the U.S.)
In any case, Australians are NOT scheduled to see it first, as it opens TWO days before the U.S. in Belgium, France and Switzerland. http://www.startrekmovie.com/releasedates/
I'm also using QEMU+KVM. I built an inexpensive server with parts from Newegg. Total cost was around $500, about 9 months ago.
I second the knock against VMWare (free server edition). I used it for a bit and got sick of it not working after kernel upgrades, or not working because it complained about it's config being incomplete/invalid, etc. Xen, VirtualBox or QEMU are all better products, IMO.
I would say that the number of guest VM's you can run concurrently really only depends on your RAM, where performance of them will depend on your CPU and what you have them doing.
I have an Athlon64 x2 and 8 GB RAM and am running 10 guest VM's (8 Linux, 1 FreeBSD, 1 Windows) with lots of RAM to spare, and CPU under VERY low load. I overspent on RAM so I could easily add more VM's. Some of my guest VM's are running various servers/services that a few other people connect to, but most are testing or development machines that aren't really doing much unless I connect to them, and I can only do so much at one time, so it works well even with just a dual core CPU.
No surprise, but the biggest resource hog is Windows. It uses the most CPU time of any of the guests, even though it isn't serving anything or doing anything (or at least it shouldn't be) most of the time. If you want to virtualize multiple windows installations I would put the most money toward your CPU.
I once ran cat5 in a rented apartment to connect my MythTV box to my network. I had an upstairs unit with attic access in the hallway and I just ran the cable into the wall through the hole behind a phone jack (just loosened up the wallplate), up into the attic, and then down and out the hole where the cable jack was near the TV. Just pulled it all out when I left. Nobody ever noticed.
That's where the power of social networking comes into play.
And the data from which that power is derived, who you are friends with combined with your profile and theirs, is much more valuable that some stupid pictures you uploaded. I guess people don't think about that as much since that data is much less tangible, but it's a goldmine as well as a privacy catastrophe, especially now that they own that info forever. If you don't see the problem, then you aren't thinking creatively (or evil) enough.

That, and turning pages and reading is faster than mindless clicking a next button that's never in quite the same spot
And listening is faster and less mindless than turning pages so yeah I'll wait for the audiobook.

The world's gone wierd again - where's my urban dictionary!?
Better go find your regular dictionary too...
You're both wrong. It's a moo point.
As such, it's more appropriate that the muffling and mutilation come from a mad cow.

What kind of crappy code can you deliver while being distracted by hot women?
Didn't I say Windows 7? I thought I said Windows 7.
I would totally code with my boss. If she was leaning over my shoulder and inviting me to her bedH^H^H reminding me about the project schedule, I could code like all of Windows 7 before lunch.
So I guess my coding happy place is where the women are hot and the project milestones involve sex.
On the throne. Nothing clears my head and lets me write beautiful code like a mass-evacuation.
You can buy insurance for anything for the right price. I'll sell insurance for your highly questionable global weather changing machine.
Let's start the premiums at 500 a month. As in trillions of dollars.
And if it wasn't opening a day before in Australia... they wouldn't get to see it first?? (before the U.S.)
In any case, Australians are NOT scheduled to see it first, as it opens TWO days before the U.S. in Belgium, France and Switzerland.

So the other team would be... Ruby on Rails?
I though ColdFusion was only about 14 years old. In any case, it's dead. Those damn CFC's are probably to blame. Everybody knows that CFC's are bad.

So how much longer before we see a variation of this on our real-world car windshields?"
Hopefully not before we get the option in our car to hit ESC and choose LOAD > This_Morning.sav after being in a fatal car accident.
Either way you get the divorce, but in the second case, who cares if the net works, you've got herpes.
Fixed that for you.

Oh yeah? Get ready for this... a zero-gravity threesome!
I will boldly go where no man has gone before [in zero-gravity]. I'll just be needing two super-hot female research assistants...
In short, distros started packaging KDE4 a year too early.
There, I fixed it for you.
