w00t for labor day coming up... personally i think we should celebrate labor day mroe than christmas... this is a DOCUMENTED account of people dying so we can live better... sorry if you think this is a troll but this holiday is more important than most religous holidays...
cartoons and games are a good way for people to see another point of view... cartoons and games ARE "infantile" if thats what some want to call it... but i would agree with you... i call them "approachable"... games and cartoons of this level are easy to figure out but can still carry a strong message... we have bene playing games and reading cartoons since we were very young so this really helps bridge a gap between styles of news... i see java games as more of a new generation of cartoons btu essentially the same thing...
and i think the poster forgot another game...
kaboom which i should hope everyone find offensive i find no reason to censor it... its the offensive quality that makes you think...
why dont you just get an mcse for less than $5000... before you write me off as a troll think about this... isn't this why we make fun of msce's? because they pay thousands for a cert? i dont think i want to hire a consoltant just because they were able to come up with $5000 for a cert... this price WILL hold at least SOME of the good qualified people...
whats even weirder is this is a TRUE first post... its not a second post where the first was modded down -1... this is truley amazing... but whats even more amazing is this pinking naked animal flying through the sky... could swear it was a pig...
or you can turn the sound up on mp3 a little and then It sounds better... mp3 sounds better int he real world but many people are tricked when trying to reveiw codecs with all the same parameters such as volume where wma has a lead... sorry but i would rahter not sacrifice quality so i dont hafta turn up the music so much...

what about the heat generated by the electric arcing... wouldn't this cause the caps nearby to melt all the caps nearby?
ok i can tell by your statement that you have not gone through a 12 step program...
let me correct you a bit.. in a 12 step program you do NOT have to flee to a "higher power" but yes it is true they do not "cure" addiction...
unfortunatly addiction is an as yet uncurable disease... all a 12 step program does is replace your abuse of alcohol or drugs or gambling or whatever with a healthier activity...
a lot of people start doing stupid things when they get sober... many of them smoke more and engage in rickey behavior but here is the key ideal behind AA: ITS BETTER THAN DRINKING
there is no fix to alcoholism... you must admit when you go into a program that it WILL caseu you problems and it WONT go away... this is a problem that you cant get out of only make it less worse...
sorry but its true 12 step programs arent easy or pretty but they DO help people... they considerably help people's lives because to many of them drinking is the biggest problem in their life and once that goes away all the other problems are easier to deal with...
there is no "higher power" there is no "easy way out"... its going to suck and god may help you but it wont do the work for you...
lol this is exactly what it used to mean to post while "trolling for suckers" wow this is good stuff and to think that it was modded up... i dont think i have to point out that its blatently wrong but what does need to be pointed out is that it was modded up... obviously the author didn't ACTUALLY believe what he posted so this is just a great example of trolling at its best (which is still pretty damn lame... after it IS a troll)...
ok sorry but 25k a month sounds great to joe-consumer but for suit-wearing-business-guy will not think its worth his time... here is hopw much they will cost... take their number of gerunteed units, 1000 (remember if they arent going to slel less they wont do it) divide that into what the cost of production including re-tooling is... and bam thats your cost... so if its going to cost em $100,000 to make em they are going to be at least $100 a peice... they WONT lose money one this...

indeed speculation is fun and its the reason why im reading slashdot, where anyone can be an expert... what i meant was that the shell doesn't have to directly hit the armor... it can either hit nearby (which as you said probably wouldn't do much) or it can explode inches away... how hard would it be to come up with a anti-weapon that is really to slugs... one dummy slug that will vaporize and then the actual shell lands...
also wouldn't the heat generated by the massive amount of energy put through a resistor (the shell) cause all the nearby caps to melt?... although i understand this is slashdot and this article was posted for the coolness which i dont deny i dont think that as it is explained in the article this technology will help...

the water analogy is a good one that is used veyr often but as you said it breaks down sometimes like in smei-conductors... you are correct about amps but i meant for people to understand that high voltage wont be able to carry through a resistor without enough amps... this is why a spark plug doesn't kill you... not enough amps...
indeed x-box is a horrible system for hacking... i love all the available open tools for the DC and despise the thought of having to mattle microsoft every time i want to hack their x-box as my hobby... no thanks ill stick with my dc... btw www.boob.co.uk owns and i have learned much in the past there...

copper would be just as useless... mass is mass and velocity is velocity... no getting around it... it like asying your trying to stop a freight train by blowing up the front... the bullet will continue on vaporized or not... you still have lots of atoms flying at high speed toward your tank...
another thing this wont protect from is near misses... an explosive shell that hits the ground nearby will still unlease all its fury on the tank... this only protects from exact hits... and even then probably wont

just oin case anyone doesn't know what charge is let me explain a little more...
coulombs are like the amount of actual electrons passing through a wire...
volts are how bad those electrons want to get where they ar egoing...
amps is how much force they have to use to get where they are going...
kind of a layman's terms defenition so please no flames im trying to makes everyone understand a little better
haha sorry but im not a fan of CE... really i only use it for the cheap hardware and the streamlined layout of an all in one box with the benefit of KNOWING what system other people who play your game will run on... i kind of stopped working with it a while ago before i got to anything good but i think maybe ill start into it again...
this is exactly my point... you are trying to sell a very expensive system to the same people who are happy with 96kbit rate mp3?... come on... it wont catch on and if it doesn't die it wont ever be cheap either...
wow that must have been a lot of fun... i have had to hook up my dc over the serial cable to laod up my own custom games... i am learning some opengl and have discovered that the DC is one of the few systems that can be considered beautiful... it has the functionality of a PC with the reliability of a console... its an awsome box and i really enjoy coding for it... so i guess im biased too
oh my god i had this great idea but was foiled by the overpriced DC nics... here is how it goes...
1. buy 10 dc's @ $25 a peice 2. buy 10 nics @ $50 a peice (lets hope) 3. hook em together and setup a boew^H^H^H^H *duck* i mean setup a sweet gaming room... thats it 4.???? 5.profit!
oh it brings a tear to my eye to hear you say that... i agree with you very much and you pointed out just a few of the many features the dreamcast has... it has TWICE as much video ram as the ps2 while the ps2 has twice as FAST video ram which means that programmers must waste their time coding swapping functions and worrying about management...
also the 128 bit (xbox has nothing on the dreamcast here with its 32 bit p3) 200 mhz risc processor just kicks ass... its easy to compile linux for risc so practically any software can be burned onto a cdr and the dreamcast can read it...
i am very glad and i will be pre-ordering possibly 2 or 3 of these... i wanted to hack my dc more but $200 for the nic was too much...
sorry to say but MOST music sounds the same on mono than 5.1 encoded... personally i do enjoy high quality music but if the masses of pop-listeners dont want this IT WONT GET CHEAP... as it is now anything related to cd's is CHEAP because they can sell to everyone... it worth it to buy a regular nice setup with regular cd's than to buy and overproced new system
"dude" thats not the only reason to get rid of your tv... i agree with you... my tv is only for the tv-out off my matrox card... once i stopped watching tv i had enough time to glance at almsot all of the slashdot articles AND read WAY more books...
Im not saying nukes are good, in fact they are BAD. I AM saying that hurling rocks are ALSO bad.
How can you decide what is "un-civilized"? Some would say that hurling rocks is "un-civilized". Regardless of a "warning" which is no more than a threat, you can murder people.
but is it worth recovering your name? im sure you could hit em with the anti-spam and them try to sue em for some type of trademark violation? once a court has found them guilty of forging headers you could then extend it to say they cost you money through some type of damage to your business... im not really sure but if you can find em you should talk to a lawyer who knows how the laws work once they get into a court...
