It's, "Happy New Year." Why does nobody understand that it's only one new year? It's not "New Years" or "New Year's" but "New Year."
I think it's a contraction of "Happy New Year's Day" with incorrect punctuation. This being Slashdot, incorrect punctuation shouldn't surprise you.
Either that, or it's a conflation of "New Year's Eve" and "Happy New Year." Or, Taco's drunk, dictating articles, and he's slurring his speech. There's a veritable menagerie of possibilities; a smorgasbord of likely explanations, if you will.
Then why wouldn't you link to one of the pages that mentions RPC2? The page you linked to has about 200 references to RPC1, but not a single reference to RPC2?
I'm supposed to assume you can't read? Pardon me for giving your intelligence the benefit of the doubt, dude. Using the internets isn't as hard as you make it out to be.
Perhaps you can spend the rest of your morning watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns in your parents' basement and pointing out all the inconsistencies to your cat.
You don't get it, do you? The problem is that the drive you can buy at newegg is region-locked, and the region can only be changed 4 times.
Oh, I get it. I get that you've never heard of the dangerous brothers. Just flash your drive with a region-free firmware and you're done.
Of course, your solution of buying four drives and a new computer case would work, too, but that's the type of advice you get from the floor-monkeys at Best Buy.
Since we're all a bunch of criminals anyway, this can only help to save us from ourselves.
Save us from ourselves? Dude, if you're trying to pirate movies with one of those ridiculously slow 1x DVD-ROMS from 1998, Microsoft is doing you a favor in making you fork over 16 dollars on a new one.
(I don't see the big deal. I mean, does anyone complain they can't plug their 40 meg MFM hard drive into their new motherboard that only has IDE and SATA ports?)
Just in time for Christmas, comes FA1, the fighting android from SDT (Self Defence Technologys.) The FA1 can also dodge your punches with "human-like" movements
So, again. Apple doesn't pioneer shit. And there's certainly no "magic" to it. They pick the best ideas from the PC world, then market them to the point where idiots like you think they came first.
That's part of the magic behind Apple's product line. "Back in the day," computers were ugly, huge, clunky, off-white boxes that people generally kept out of sight of guests, perhaps in a spare room somewhere along with their model rockets and comic books
That's a complete load of crap. Lian-li has been making uniquely-styled cases since 1997. Apple's first colorful computer, the iMac, didn't come out until 1998. SGI was making fancy boxes even earlier than that.
Lian-li pioneered the brushed-aluminum look that Apple stole with the new G5. Apple's product line has nothing to do with magic. It has everything to do with marketing.
well, what's really cool, is that a lot of gadgetry that doesn't have a USB charge jack, takes the correct voltage such that they can be charged directly via USB. Like, for example, the PSP and the iriver iHP-340 both take 5v input, and can both be charged with the same ziplinq cable. And I can use that same 5-pin ziplinq cable to get pictures from my camera.
So rather than go to best buy, and spend $25 for a mobile charger for the PSP, another $25 for one for the iRiver, $15 on a "sync cable" for a camera, and another $20 camera travel charger, you can do all that with one $3 cable from hong kong. Usually, you can get ziplinq cables for $0.99 + shipping on ebay, because ebay is flooded with them. And shipping is dirt cheap. (With all the auction fraud, that's all ebay is good for these days. items under 10 bucks)
I carry a total of three ziplinq cables in my bag(4pin USB, 5pin USB, treoUSB) and they charge/interface every piece of gadgetry I have, both at home, and in the car (with the Car-> usb adapter).
USB charging ports on cell phones is my favorite "gadget" for the past year. I'm not sure if they existed in 2004, but I have 3 different phones in my household that use USB charging ports
I'm sure when I'm 85 years old this is exactly what I'll remember about 2005.
As of 2005, in Kazakhstan, women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hat, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old.
Really? Because I was just thinking this is one more reason to laugh and point at people stupid enough to pay more for a car than a suburban single-family home.
"Programming code embedded in these pages would install a program... then prompted them to pay $40 to remove the supposed pests." Where do you send the money? And they aren't afraid of getting caught?
Dude, the Homeland Security budget for this stuff is $16 million dollars. Total. For the whole year. That's "Million" with an "M". No they're not worried about getting caught.
I was just thinking.. I could really use an operating system with serious, critical flaws in, say, a car. Current cars just don't get me from point A to point B well enough.
Well, pretty much because they're the ones setting the budget for Homeland Security, as discussed in the article. I know it sounds like wild-assed scapegoating, but there you have it.
If your point was that it's the corporations/individuals fault for not preventing the crime, well, that's like blaming your neighbor when his car gets broken into, isn't it?
"Cybercrime" is a problem because the level of the enforcement of the law makes it profitable. (People speed for the same reason, and litter, and lots of other things that aren't really enforced)
Slashdot Mirror
IBM's got a few blogs. They seem to be doing ok.
LOL. Why don't you bitches mod me down some more? I have near-infinite karma.

Man, the pedants are ravenous this morning. Your point has already been addressed, chief, and you're wrong. Sorry to dissapoint you.
Perhaps you can spend the rest of your morning watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns in your parents' basement and pointing out all the inconsistencies to your cat.
The page you linked to is at rpc1.org. RPC1 is the non-region coded firmware which Windows Vista will not be supporting.
Uhh, yes, that's the domain name. If you spend two minutes browsing the site, you'll see they have plenty of RPC2 firmwares. link
(A bunch of savages in this place, I swear. I'm not even supposed to be here today.)

That's great, but can it find Sarah Connor?
Ok. Here's a Lian-Li case review from November, 2000. OS X didn't even *exist* then. It didn't come out with the "brushed metal" look until March 24, 2001. Apple was still making flimsy plastic cases for another two years, until they released the G5 (with the ripped-off brushed-metal motif) in 2003.
So, again. Apple doesn't pioneer shit. And there's certainly no "magic" to it. They pick the best ideas from the PC world, then market them to the point where idiots like you think they came first.
Web server != entire operating system. thanks for playing.
I tried watercooling my XBOX 360. I ended up with a bunch of steam.
If you are using numbers like these to make an argument that MS products are "more secure",
I've got a nugget of wisdom for you: Whichever OS is the most popular is going to end up being the least secure. It doesn't matter who makes it.

They've existed for a few years now. Maybe in 2006 you'll discover the Wall->Usb adapter, and possibly even the CAR->USB power adapter. So you can use all those mobile gadgets when you're, you know, mobile.
What, no mention of the invention of blogging?

Where the hell are you living? Alabama?

Maybe someone could make a car with embedded windows? That would be *awesome*!
Why do you blame this one on Congress?

Good thing too, we don't want Usama going into orbit, now, do we?
Or, apparently, Ted Kennedy.
"Gimp Splash 10". That sounds like a movie you don't want your girlfriend finding under your couch.
For me especially, because my girlfriend would probably tell my wife.
