Well, I imagine that the Gunmen were at least closet Trekkies, and knowing that they were going to die, the most memorable thing they could do was connect through the glass. Think any of them walked up to someone else and whispered "remember" to them?
Not enough, obviously. This review is NOT making anyone think, "Hey, this is cool! I'll go buy it right now!"
If anything, one of Creative's competitors paid for the space.. "Here, denounce this card to hundreds of thousands of Slashdotters, and we'll give you lots of money"
And that pesky 5 year old always looking at my laptop screen will certainly get a good education on my next flight!

You could play MS Flight Sim, and see how much faster you could get from New York to LA than the plane you're actually on.

Do you say "this will cost about five hundred to seven hundred dollars to install" or do you shorten it down to "this will cost about five to seven hundred dollars to install"
This is all just an elaborate tie-in to a new video game. You must travel to the 6 underwater temples to collect magic crystals, before using them to unlock the 7th temple, where you'll fight the main bad guy.
If it's something that *needs* my real info, so I can receive things from them that I actually ordered, I give a fake middle initial, or spell my first name wrong, or something.. That way, when I get unrelated spam from someone else, I know exactly where the list came from. I stop doing business with them immediatly.
I think it's more ironic that Yahoo would mirror a story that holds them in such an unfavorable light.
We'll never see on Microsoft's site "When you sign up for the.net service, Microsoft reserves the right to send your information to anyone it darn well pleases".
Chances are, someone at the Yahoo news service is gonna get fired for this one.
Of course, this has nothing to do with it, either..
Best way to do this would be to run a client on your home machine, and ssh to it from work. IRC is all done in plaintext, any encrypting would have to be done before you got anywhere near the server.
You could probably get a BitchX script that rot-13'd everything you typed (I bet if you can SSH, you could make your own script anyways) but that's not true encryption of course... would keep the average bot from listening in though!
Couldn't the reverse be said as well? The last 20 years of "pop knowlege" has been majorly flawed in suggesting that merely because the characters, locations, and plots in the films resembled those of ancient epics, George Lucas MUST have ripped them off.
You're going to see the same themes in movies, books, scripture, only because there are so many ways to tell the story of the guy who hates his father, and wants to get some chick in bed (until he finds out that she's his sister..)
Um, that was an odd tangent. But anyways, I would hope that you would have posted the same reply if Slashdot posted a story that verifies that Lucas took all his ideas from the Oddysey.
Why use a *real* piano? This thing is touchscreen. If you turn the bottom half of the screen into a bank of piano keys, and the top half shows you sheet music, it could highlight the next note you're supposed to play, and flash the right key at you, until you hit it. True, you won't get the "feel" of playing, but your fingers will figure out where to go, with enough repetition. Plug in headphones, and learn to play the piano during your daily commute...
No, the time in the PS2 game is 500 years before the PC game. There won't be any interaction between characters from the two versions of the game.
Hopefully, playing the PS2 version will give people some insight into the history of Norrath... That right there is a great reason to play for some of us.

Yeah, thanks for spoiling Star Trek 2! Some of us out here on Deep Space Station K-7 haven't seen it yet!
Sheesh.

Here, I'll fix it from my post down.

Hey, I have a red motherboard. Don't knock it until you've tried it. (:
And our sigs are semi-compatible too.

Sorry, I already patented "a method for standing in the middle of an empty field".
Your idea would work, other than that.
I still think Kevin Smith's "Nails" cigarettes were a better fake brand. But anyways.
If I buy your sig space for 5 dollars, could people filter out your comments so they didn't have to read my advertising?

The first line was correct... let's rewrite that, shall we?
Wouldn't stand in court
It's just a project codename
Not the product name
There, doesn't that look better?

And EAT the Gateway cow? You sadist!
No, head on over to Chick-Fil-A and "Eat mor chikin"
That supports cow rights. (:

nonono. Flies like garbage!
Er, sorry.
Whatever there is to say, you shouldn't say it on one of these!
