... and how many people who read slashdot are in charge of corporate hardware rollouts for their organization? I would guess a fair number. Although, of the people I've talked to, they don't really seem to like Dell machines in the first place (laptops, at least).
Actually, given that not everyone in California votes, you would probably have a 65-95% chance of finding someone who didn't vote for Davis (if you factor in the people who didn't vote at all).
I heard Stingray was a good show, but I prefer "Vengeance Unlimited" - similar storylines, as I recall.
Anyway. Undersea facilities are always fun to envision... there are many sci-fi books that deal with them. I remember one that talked about using a pressurized room to create an area that submarines could surface from, in the bottom of an undersea building. (Horrible way to explain it, I know). It's always fun to think about.
Imagine what you could find if you could just inflate a large synthetic semi-sphere balloon at the bottom of the ocean, and replace all the water with air? It would be awesome for undersea archeology. (Okay, to be fair, this idea comes from a Tom Swift novel from the 60s.)
Actually, with your nanotech idea, you can just send the nanoprobes ahead of time, and they can create the facilities for the colony out of the resources present on the other planet/asteroid/moon/whatever.
That would reduce the risk involved in a manned space mission to another planet, as the facilities would be waiting for the crew when they arrived - instead of having to take it all with them.
Just like starting a car, more power is required to start a computer than to run it. Especially if you end up with un-used hardware that can be powered down.
I haven't read the article - nor do I intend to - but I gather that the information in question is NOT displayed when viewing the document in Word, but has been "deleted" by the user. Word preserves the deleted text, it seems, as part of the undo feature - and yet, the undo feature doesn't work if you have freshly opened a file.
Sort of like deleting password emails from Outlook Express, and then having someone retreive them from the.mbx file despite the fact that you deleted them.

"We were conducting experiments to make their brains larger ... as a side effect, the spiders got smarter."
Bah, why bother with that when you can just make a few tesla coils and/or a Van der Graff generator?
I hear they work wonders for wireless networking.
He's trying to say that Linux sucks, and that he welcomes the new Gates of Borg overlords.

Naw. Roman Numerals make it more fun; even better would be mapping hexadecimal to greek letters and using that.

Omega Omega Epsilon!

Been there, done that, got a QB10 t-shirt.
I'd be scared if she had dangly bits.
If it were legal, you would probably have to purchase a Plantation License, priced on a per-plant basis.

And they're running the country ... ... into the ground!
(Just kidding ... according to them, the country is doing better than ever)
Does this mean that I'm the exception that proves the rule? :wq!
Gobble Gobble.
I saw it at full price (times two tickets). That's the price I pay to be able to mock it fully and openly.
I think Darl McBride found a new gig as a "wild-ass-theory consultant".
Not to mention that the bots can replace themselves, and be upgraded. :)

No, I meant that killing all posters who began posts with "Umm" would be tedious and time-consuming.
Umm ... that sounds like a horribly tedious process.

should I point out that the missing words are the joke, or not? Ah well, too late.
You must be thinking of Token Ring, with those circular properties ...
Try taking 92 shots of vodka and being stable after that.
Have you ever heard of hardware?
