Why don't they just start ticketing people when they catch them doing it. Make it the equivalent (economically, not going to xe.com and typing it in) of someone getting ticketed 10 American dollars.
To abstain from or act together in abstaining from using, buying, or dealing with as an expression of protest or disfavor or as a means of coercion.
Hmm.. if that is true then shouldnt we fellow nerds gang together and boycot EA among other companies so as to show them in a way they will understand (less income). I'm sure that if something like that happend the work place for a lot of people would be forced to change. Too bad it never will.
Our North American infrastructure is very outdated and we are constatly running into problems with it... this article is probably writen from a skewed perspective, but anyone who has payed any attention to the technological advances that China has been doing could say this was a long time comming and will only continue to happen at an ever quickening pace. It might turn out good for us over here.... or it might cause a sort of hyperinflation in our dollars as the yuan is worth 6.87 to 1 Canadian (8.28 to 1 American) and the Hong Kong buck is 7.78 to 1 USD or 6.45 to one Loonie (www.xe.com.)
The only current setback I see for China, Beijing in particular, is air pollution. Although I'm sure they'll have a way to clean it all figured out and implemented well before the Olympics in 4 years if they want the athletes to be able to breathe normally when they are competing. And I'm sure the 20 new Candu reactors that we (Canada) are supplying them will help to combat that instead of burning coal like the places they are replacing.
Now, dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that their current political system is good... its not. Its horrid in the fact corruption is running un-checked through it (ever heard of Payola? Government officials expect it). Its just, with an ever modernizing infrastructure they are going to quickly become a world super power with the ability to use national economies as a weapon against whomever they want (go check and see what you have thats made in china lol). Although, all this assuming and all the articles out could be pre-emptive and their economy and infrastructure could fall flat on its face.... but its intersting nonetheless.
Yup last 4th of July, those wernt fireworks my friend. Them there perty lights in the skys was da hubble. The really neat thing is the way they managed to make it work after they got the remaining bits that made it through the landing.
Well, since it is made up of components and materials FROM earth then it could be considered earth based for the sake of the artical. However, I think it should not be, it is in orbit is it not? Dfn of an object in orbet is? (http://space.about.com/library/glossary/bldeforbi t.htm)
First-off, no I am not. Secondly WTF can you NOT log in? To chickin shit to be a troll? I mean really, that just proves me correct. Slashdot is getting pretty bad and imature.... I really dont wana find a new homepage but with the general atitude leaning towards this anonymouse coward I just might have to.
W()W This is soo sad, I had to reply to myself because nobody here is mature enough to get over the name of the system. Sooo sad so manny of us n3rd5 are that immature. =( Shame on you!! Reply to my post!
Just think, if they are admitting to having this sort of technology facing away from the planet, what do they have looking down on us? Really though, cudos the the Huble, since they got the glitches worked out that while ago it seems to be working great and finding new things. But just how is this going to impact my daily life? Is it going to help the space elevator get built by the time I am 45? 65? So my great grandkids can see it when they are 45? (I am 20 btw) Sure this is cool, but work on the things that impact us first dont spend billions on a crappy shuttle program that is 20 years old and has had 2 major disasters.
I have my MSN and AOL and YAHOO ALL WORKING on trillian, I thought this was a MOOT POINT as it was brought up a long time ago when trillian came out with the patch before microsoft came out with the fix! (lol try to understand that) I didnt update anything since then (about 2-3 weeks ago) and it still works great.
At the BEGINNING of this thread. lol. Doom 3 WILL own HL2 just b/c ID is such a better company then Valve. I mean really, have any of you paid attention to the recent we hate Nvidia scheme that valve is spewing out?? All those "benchmarks" that are supposed to show how well the game runs, use a driver set that puts the ati card to the advantage. It doesnt even look that great truthfully. I have seen the vids, and the FIRST thing I noticed was the amazingly large ammount of jaggies. I really really really HATE jagies with a vengece. I run 8xAsio and 4xAA just for that reason. With a game like HL2 I wont be able to, and it looks as though it will not be the eye candy that everyone was hoping for.
His initials are DNA, he "randomly chose" 42 to be the answer to all, and he liked earl grey. Are ALL of these a coincidence? I dont think so, but since I have not yet had my daily cuppa of earl grey I have yet to figure out wich dots to make the line with.
You want to know where slammer went wrong and the next one is gona hit? If you really wana cause internet hell, do not infect the machine, do not even get to it. ONLY infect the switches and routers. Not the ones that joe shmoe has at home, no, the ones that are on the fiber, the ones on the backbone. Make them send random junk data to each other at the 'spec limits that the OEM put on the hardware. Then the hardware the net is based on will kill itself - latency hell. The only way to fix it would be to reset each one by hand. It WILL happen, only a matter of time till some moron will think of this and feel inclined to do it. Just the right code in an ICMP packet and we are down for the count and shipped away in the ambulance.
I had braces for 2 years and could pickup some FM radio stations when I was in certain places in town. Kinda funny for a bit, then REALLY REALLLY FRIGGING ANNOYING.
I know that was off topic from the subject, but not to the post I am replying to.

Then why are they going to monitor the -90C?

"Maybe I just hang around all geeks and so I have no true perception of what "normal" people are like."
I know thats true in my case lol
What is this technology? The article wasnt exactly an article....
NM it works again now...
The links already dead..... too bad I wantd to see it. Anyone got a torrent link to it yet?
All we need now is a to scale model of a suse fighter and a scale air to air missile to blow it up.... =) lol
I would be even more impressed if they had PCI-X on it.... but YAY opteron x 2 =) in micro atx is a feat in itself.
They really meant was how popular the two formats are... everyone even your grandma has heard of an mp3 player, and jpeg is very popular image format.

It would also give them the excuse to expand SDI over half the globe to Aus.
But Seriously, set the time frame for 20 years just to be safe.

Well that was a worthwhile post, really informative and to the point!!
If anyone does know please post, this is probably a point of interest for many people.
