I think the point of the parent is a computer "component" integrated into a monitor. It would be like removing/attaching a mac Mini from an Apple Cinema Display.
How the hell did you dislocate your knee? I saw a show recently where a girl dislocated her knee and she looked like she was dying. And doesn't that tear the shit out of your ACL? I agree, fuck that fucking nurse and all the fucking kids in the fucking world, get you some fucking MORPHINE!!
Well lets hope that when I abruptly stop that I am frozen in front of my laptop reading Slashdot. That way I can ruminate on the comment "I really hope I'm not in the DMV when time ends." for eons.
I watched it and at no point did the computer produce POST codes. It seemed like the techs would hit the power button and nothing would happen. Perhaps a fan went on, and that's about it. Also, it appears that there was only one 256mb SDRAM module in the machine. So unless a tech had the correct memory replacement on hand, it would have been difficult to diagnose. Should every mobile tech carry PCI diagnostic cards? Additionally, one tech offered a 1GB module for $120, which is not unreasonable - Compusa would easily charge that much. The "expert" tech from the school was an idiot and probably scoured the net for the cheapest 1GB module on the market - not taking into account tax and shipping charges. Not to mention the time it would take to go and get it or have it shipped. The second heavy lady who was an "Expert tech" mentioned that all that was needed for the failed laptop/system file problem was for the operating system to be re-installed. No backup was necessary. I thing a backup, if possible should always be recommended.
The little Giver app looks nice. If I had a new network to set up, I would consider this distro for all the clients, 20 barebone machines with OpenSuse installed and maybe Google Apps for a suite - simplicity!
No air = no sound. If the cabin de-pressurizes and the crew are in their spacesuits, then essentially they're in a vacuum and pretty much makes this tool obsolete. Let's hope the tool was tested in a vacuum.
My dad gave me his when I was a teen and said that he had used it for many years in college and the aerospace industry (Hughes). He gave it to me as a memento, and although he didn't keep it stuffed in his ass in Vietnam, it did carry a pretty significant sentimental value. It's lost; and although I did try to use it on several occasions, I only go so far as multiplication. It was a nice ivory color and had a leather carrying case. That thing probably helped launch 20 communication satellites.
Ok so if they can develop a "Pain Ray", does this mean they can also develop a "Pleasure Ray"? Which would be more effective, a ray that hurts like hell and causes a bunch of people to be even more pissed off, or a ray that makes people tingle and tickle and become aroused so that they just want to err, hang out. Can I be a test subject?
I'm sure the numbers would have come back different if they had utilized the 16GB of memory. Still pretty impressive to see 8 45nm cores running on one box.
It looks like, for example, the latest August 2007 2GB.iso release contains 10 updates with support for XP (x64), Server 2003 (x64/Itanium), windows 2000 and Vista (x64) in all languages. It would take a lot of downloading of every.iso release to get every patch released since SP2...
I concur. I saw a neat demo of Groove server recently. However, when exploring the cost and setup of a Groove server, it became prohibitively expensive. This one will be a difficult sale to the PHB's and network admins that "don't want to poke more holes in the firewall."
Listen Dick (I'd say George but we know who's written this crap), if you're going to arrest me, intern me, drain my bank account, plus confiscate my computers, auction my house and impound my car, instead of going through all that trouble, take that carbine off "safe" and put one through my gray matter. I mean really, it's a lot cheaper in the long run right? And this is what it's all about right? Money. Don't waste your time on lawyers, courts, health care, facilities, and food, just dig a big pit and bury me. What the hell, bullets cost money too, just cuff me and bury me alive! Then again, what the hell, don't even bother with me. Just tax the shit out of my paycheck, tax me for anything and everything, then send my job overseas, send me a monthly pittance, close the supermarkets (like in Detroit), and starve me to death. Because after all, we're not people just like you, we're unmotivated slime that can't cut it in the new world economy. So hey, if it makes you feel better, and you want to put it in writing go ahead and make it legal. Just remember, a hungry mob is an angry mob.
By the way to not allow images execept from the original website, in FireFox2, open about:config, modify the value of the preference permissions.default.image
So ultimately the ISP's are afraid they'll be fined or shut down due to the negligence of the users and/or refusing to submit evidence? I just don't understand how a user's nefarious actions could be blamed on the ISP...
I would think all they need to do is show they warned their users they are 1. being watched 2. downloading illegal data. Actually providing the authorities with a history of the data is not their job and should only be the acquired by the authorities with their own equipment and only under a court order.
At the least the ISP's should give their users the ability to opt-out of their "data retention" programs.
When those explosive bolts go off, and the jettison rocket fires, I'll tell you, it's a shock. Same thing happened to me when I freed my carrier pigeon from the game the other night. It wasn't the landing on the roof that was so bad, but the slow slide down the slope only to be hung up 10 feet from ground of the parking lot. It took nearly 3 hours for fire dept to arrive and after the game ended a couple kids threw stuff at me.

Is Email 'Bankrupt'?
·
· Score: 1
My philosophy is to use 3 rules for email management.
1. Delete it
2. Act on it
or
3. File it (and flag it for follow-up if necessary)
My email inbox is mostly empty. In the morning, when I open Outlook, I get the daily "Dump". It takes me about 2 minutes to sort through everything, then I'm free for the rest of the day to manage new mail as it arrives.
10 million Africans starve to death, half of Manhattan is underwater, Polar Bears become extinct and that stuff called "Snow" is now called "Sand" - but really, it's a good thing!
Dr. Tsai says the NEC group is working on a more complex, five-step procedure that will allow some basic logic to be carried out. He hopes it will be completed by the end of the year. .
My understanding was that for example, if you had an encrypted file, quantum computers could decrypt it by passing all possible keys at the same time, giving you the "answer" (0 or 1) near instantaneously. If the researchers have just "one" logic gate, isn't that enough to solve the decryption problem?
Someone needs to develop a computer sized CO2 "eater and digester" that geeks could mod and run to produce a non toxic by-product. That way, they could say, yeah my CO2 footprint is 4000 carbon credits a year, but check out my over-clocked CO2 converter that runs on water, fertilizes my hydroponics and leaves me with a -2000 credits per year!!
While the US sticks it's head in the sand and waits for WiMax to become a reality, I'm sure Nordic countries all have fat pipes going into every home. Not that bandwidth is the cause of technology advancements, but imagine if the cost of broadband in the U.S. was cut 3/4 with government subsidies. For that matter, free to all students in public schools, etc.
I think if the US wants its competitive edge back it needs to buy the dark fiber and make sure it's super cheap if not free.

No thanks
Okay that's a Full size order of high speed internet for 19.95, plus 6 sides at .95 cents a piece. Anything else?
Nope that will do it for now.
Including taxes, fees and internet monitor labor, your total is $76.65.
WTF?!?!
I found a vid of the MAV - looks like one of the surveillance drones in Half Life 2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZht4Qvjorg
