No, no. The 'King' is selling out on their previously cool privacy and terms of use policies. SeaLand is no longer a safe haven. See past Slashdot stories.
I shock people when I tell them that a default Slackware 9 install (without X) consumes less than 24MB of RAM. At work I've downgraded servers from 256MB to 128MB when I install Slackware... I'd go down to 64MB if I had any ECC DIMMs that small!
robi2106,
All too true. But you know what, let them rack up debt on their credit cards. You and I can invest in the credit card companies and get our cut of that sweet interest rate...
Actually, I really have inhaled hydrogen. Chem 101 experiment, I think it was putting a penny in a strong alkalai liquid with zinc grains and then boiling. The prof said the little puffs of white smoke created were hydrogen bubbles and they would make you cough. He was a right about the cough, at least. No way you could suck in a balloon of hydrogen the way you would helium!
Ok, so Hi-Points are crappy, cheap and ugly. But I think Jennings/Bryco/Raven has them beat. If you like living on the edge, fire one of their firearms. And when I ay 'on the edge' I mean you have suicidal tendancies or masochistic fantasies of blowing your hand and face off.
Erm, no. They heads float on a cushion of air a few molecules thick when the platter is spinning. Bournelli effect. Only when the drive is powered off do the heads come down for a landing, though 99% of modern drives park the heads off-platter or on a non-data-storing section of the platter.
Now that New Hampshire is the home of the Free State Project, which is aimed at getting rid of stupid laws, I expect the whole two-party-consent law won't last long.
Exactly. Due to the high startup cost of solar/hydro/wind power, it will take many years for them to pay for themselves. I'm a little skeptical about the $600 claim unless they guy has dozens of towers, which would be exorbitantly expensive unless he's in the wind power business with lots of investment capital.
Which is exactly what bigfoot.com does. I've been a bigfoot user for years now and it's very nice to have the same email address no matter how many times you change ISPs. Buying my own domain and rolling my own bigfoot system as you describe is rather attractive though, so I wouldn't get spam from bigfoot or its 'carefully selected partners'. Also, sometimes bigfoot is a bit slow to relay mail.
2GB my goodness. We get a paltry 200MB. AutoArchive is my friend... I never delete an email and have more than 10,000 archived messages going back to when I started work over 2 years ago. It's a flagrant violation of 'data retention' policy (supposed to keep like 6 months max), but it's saved my bacon so many times I ain't quitting now!
I also have a CD burned with the PSTs from my prior job. I'm keeping it until the statute of limitations runs out.:-/
Why does everybody have these knee-jerk reactions the *first* time anything happens? If we've gone this long without a problem, I'd say the current system works pretty darn good. If this was happening all the time, then you'd have a point, and it would be time for a change.

we could, uh, do without the, uhmmmm, simpsons quotes. especially if they have very little to do with the story.
Dude, the Simpsons quote was about 911... the article was about 911... and you say the quote has "very little" to do with the story? Ok, explain that please 'cuz I don't get it.:)
Early in the 3D hardware days, you could use two cards to double performance. One card did the even scan lines and the other card did the odd scan lines. Not sure if this was possible with all games but it certainly was with Descent and/or Descent II.
With all the hubub about video performance these days, I wonder why it's not still done today. Probably had scalibility factors...?

If there were no marketing, you probably wouldn't own half the stuff you do.
...you say that like it's a bad thing.
Bad analogy. Your 9MM Uzis are instruments of life and death. Apple's iTunes are not.
I hope.

Wordpad? Pfft. What a bloated piece or crap. I use Notepad.

WTF! I submitted this to Slashdot earlier today and got rejected. I wish I was kidding.
I'm not sure if it makes me feel better or worse that it's a dupe anyway.
a flashy car is ... commonly .. a ... sign of someone borrowing money ... and live outside their means. i.e., a sign of poor financial sense.
Hear, hear! Either you are a slave to your money... or you make your money work for you.
the drive heads actually sit on the platters

That's what grid-tie invertors do. They are common enough to be considered off-the-shelf equipment these days, though they do cost USD$1000-$2000.

Nobody likes a tattle-tale. Mind your own business and quit trying to get other people in trouble.
WTF? How would you feel if *your* car was the one damaged in a hit-and-run?
