"The laser can cut like a scalpel as well as coagulate bleeding."
Do you mean it cauterizes the wound? That is when intense heat stops bleeding. Coagulation is when the platelets aggregate to form clots. I doubt the laser is doing this.
Right, next you'll want to add a spell checker to the submission queue, then you'll be on everyone's case to read the articles first. What are you, some kinda journalist or something?
We are doing this more and more at my school--take for instance the Psychology course I took last semester. To access the readings, I had to log in with a password via a link buried somewhere on the library's website. Then, I got to view PDFs online. Of course, they were just black-and-white raster images of poorly photocopied pages. Then, because they were oriented wrong, and Acrobat did (does?) not have a rotate feature, I ended up printing them anyway, on an inkjet.
Yeah, it was great all right. And such a time-saver too.
Come to think of it, would it be that hard to gut a laser printer and stick a PC inside? Printers use the same power/network connections. That would be a little less obvious than a dreamcast. Heck, as long as we're talking about sneaking devices onto a LAN to get remote access, why not plug in a small WAP then do your intrusion from outside the building? This might be particularly effective if the office in question does not use a WAN--they wouldn't even be looking for the signals.
I just sent your post to my local chapter of Amnesty International. I'm sure they will take up your cause immediately, as I was in tears just reading about your plight.
Wake up.

My Sony monitor accepts BNC input. I've always wanted to stick my noisy tower in the closet or something, but I've wondered about the video quality. Can I expect the same quality at 1600x1200 @ 85Hz over BNC as over the regular HD15 cable?
It's about time! People need to grow up and realize that bandwidth doesn't grow on trees, and even if it did, we'd have to import thousands of mexican laborers to harvest it, thus ruining our economy and adding to crime and povery problems in the southwestern United States. There is already much dispute between southern california and mexico over allocation of the increasingly scarce water supply, I don't think we need to bring complaints about the speed of your WinMX downloads into all this.
It's not that I want to move a lot of data (warez server), it's that when I do, I want to move it fast. It's pretty annoying to be uploading, say, a 20MB Photoshop document at 30K/s (god bless our new AT&T cap) and have your ssh sessions and other downstream activities (web browsing) slow to a crawl. I've even gone as far as re-capping myself with dummynet so that when I am uploading, I maintain respectable downstream rates.
Aren't you a good little consumer. Since when should anyone have to pay out the ass for a measly 384kbit/s upstream? I thought this was supposed to be broadband!
Hey, I love nitpicking too! While we're at it, here's one-- "sneek" should be spelled "sneak". I do so love slashdot, its a haven for obsessive-compulsive nitpicker's like myself. Wait, that should be it's. And nitpickers. Oh shit, I started a sentence with "and".
Can you give more info about the necessary measures to prevent an XP box from phoning home? I have an OpenBSD firewall at my disposal, and love to take a look at what my workstation is trying to do.
This very idea was in Bill Gates' book The Road Ahead. I'm not saying you stole it from him, he may even have stolen it from somewhere else. The idea isn't new, that's all.

You, sir, are what is wrong with this country.

Screw humanity, did you patent your discovery yet!?
Let me put it to you this way--is George Carlin ever wrong?
Shhh. Everything is fine. Go back to sleep, America. Your government is in control.
I know, cheap shot. Which one of you slashbots wants to reply and tell me that Win98 wasn't written in Pascal?
Go back to making [H] graphics for the HardOCP. I'm sure Kyle will post your every creation on the main page.
Yeah, a simple "Dude, April 15th was yesterday!" popup would work just fine, thank you.
Yeah, it was great all right. And such a time-saver too.
"Scaling back" popup ads has been a "catalyst for revolution" at AOL? Wow. I guess "not sucking" would be, what, a "thermonuclear orgasm for nirvana"?

Jukebox looks like a nice concept, except it only works with serial cradles so I doubt anyone is even using it.
That's whats great about (some) big business. They've figured out how to keep those pesky social consequences at arm's length.
Of course, it's not just big business' fault--society has to be literate and motivated in order to impose social consequences.

It could be worse! You could be starting to look like Gates!
Funny, that's whi I don't like email...
