You don't agree with me, fine, but modding me a troll? How was my comment a troll? I was expressing that fact that I was tired of hearing about the damn Xbox360, look at the slashdot articles from August:

ENOUGH WITH THAT XBOX SHIT ALREADY!
I'm sure there other more newsworthy game related stuff out there.
A new coordination organization was formed, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Initially led from MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science by Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor of the WWW)
This says the MIT start W3C, not that they invented WWW and that at some point Tim joined them, which HE was part of the team that created WWW. Tim worked a CERN when he invented it, check my links in my parent post.
For a interesting insight, check out 'Angels and Demons' by Dan Brown, the guy who wrote 'The DaVinci Code'. Brings the whole Religion Vs. Sciences war into perspective, a very good read.
To all that replied, thank you, I stand corrected. This just goes to show I don't know much about handguns. However, from the page: Specs:
Caliber -.44 Magnum; Bullet Weight - 240 Gr.; Muzzle Velocity - 1180 fps.; Muzzle Energy - 740 ft-lbs.; -
So they DO say that it's the bullet's weight, not charge or cartidge or whatever.
Unless someone DOES know about handguns/ammo, this is a mistake not to be blamed on the reader, right?
Yeah, and the energy from a.44 magnum is about the same as a fast softball.
Big deal.
hmmm, now i'm rusty but:
Softball: 400g, fast pitch: 60-70mph (~105km/h~= 29m/s) .44 magnum bullet: let's say for a Desert Eagle:
Weight - 240 Gr.; Muzzle Velocity - 1180 fps.(~259m/s); source
Ok, if I'm not mistaken you can measure the kinetic energy with the momentum (please correct me if I am wrong) with E=(mv^2)/2
E1=kinetic energy from ball
E1=(0.4 kg)/2 * (29 m/s)^2=0.2 kg * 841 m2/s2= 168.2 J
E2=kinetic energy from bullet
E2=(0.24 kg)/2 * (259 m/s)^2=0.12kg * 67081 m2/s2 ~= 8050 J
sorry, but 168.2 and 8050 are not 'about the same', not even the same ball park.
I actually have done this and it does work on some modems, pretty cool actually. Think: someone might try to view comments and keep getting disconnected right at this moment.

Ok, you take care of the pigs and I'll take care of some cows that decided to drop by...

Don't Anonymous Cowards usually blast hot air in people's face? And you get slashdot in your car? cool.

ENOUGH WITH THAT XBOX SHIT ALREADY!I'm sure there other more newsworthy game related stuff out there.
For Linux and Unix hosts you measure uptime, for Windows hosts you measure the number of reboots.
Enough of this Xbox360 shit, I'm tired of hearing about it, please stop posting fucking xbox 'articles'.
OpenBSD runs on a 486 with 8MB ram, you can use lynx to browse. Now, as for graphical stuff, I don't know, I never dared...
"...thumb is very nearly one inch at its widest, thus solidifying the concept of a "rule of thumb"."
Interesting, in french, inch is pouce which is the same as thumb, i.e.:
<obvious_example>'roues de 19 pouces' is '19 inch wheels' and 'J'ai 2 pouces' is 'I have 2 thumbs' </obvious_example>
What about a listserv/mailing list? If thye REALLY want mail, then that's not spam and let THEM sign up.
my 2 cents.
Or as exactly the name 'La Crosse' means 'the sperm' slanged ('the cum', 'the jiz', etc...).
QOTD could no be more of a 'coincidence':

WWW: later addon from MIT
Sorry to burst your bubble but WWW is a CERN invention (international organization part in Switzerland, and part in France). Check here and here.
You anonymous coward.
He's paranoid you insensitive clod.

You mispelled "the". :-)
You misspelled "misspelled".
You misquoted 'mispelled' as "misspelled" to indicate that 'misspelled' was misspelled as 'mispelled'.
actually, ever heard of Maple? UWaterloo started it.
Whaaaa? Now THAT'S rare: someone admitting that they are wrong, here...
You sir are commendable, my salutations!

sorry, it's +++ATH0 not ATH0+++ as probably by now others posters have replied.
