The only problem is that:
1) I strained my back by playing to intensively,
2) It has easily taken $40 away from me, and
3) The only PPP machine close to me is in Ann Arbor MI, and is about 1 hr away from where I live.
PPP is much better than ddr, because you use your arms, and not your feet. (I have no sense of balance, and would fall and lose while playing DDR)
Sorry, I disagree.
My Dell *sigh* 8100 produces a ton of noise than some of the homebrew systems I have made. The fans, PSU fans, and HD all vibrate, and their proprietary power system hums and buzzes if the system starts to go above 75% proccessor usage!
On of the funniest SNL (I think) sketches that I ever saw had a version of "Chestnuts roasting..." It went something like "Chipmunks roasting over an open fire..."
Oh, and by the way, the version of "chipmunks on the fire" (on the site mentioned above) was most definatly not the one I heard on SNL.
Do people never learn?...

I had assumed that people had finally realized that there is many shall we say... "inconsistencies" in the boards that review sites get, and the consumer boards. Recently (about 2-4 months ago) asus realeased their P4S8X motherboard based on the SIS 648 chipset. Almost every hardware review site praised this board, yet when the boards hit the market, all hell broke loose, (some sites, such as Motherboards.org still have the P4S8X rated as the top board, when it is clear that this board is not worth the sand it was created with.) Enough hell that many people began reffering to the board as the P4Sux.
So why: A)Post the review of a not-so-new board (based off of the I845PE board) and
B) Why even post it's review at all, especially now that we have learned not to trust review sites?
I am not trying to be troll-ish, but this is Slashdot, News for Nerds. Stuff that matters. Clearly this was neither of the two.
Those submarines are sure going to have an interesting time going up-stream undetected, though 4-5 sets of rapids, a 140 (IIRC) foot raise in water level, and Niagra Falls!
One of my friend's father is a wholesale candy distributor. What does this mean? I get candy before it is even released\announced to the public. Sour Skitles [sic]? I had these about a year before they were out.
I've had lots of other things, but at 12:35 am, my mental accuity is down to the level of a monkey with a typewriter, and cannot remeber what else.
Are you kidding? You might be getting 10.50 an hour working support, but if you freelance (and if you are good) you can make much, much more. Especially if you have certs. Yes, I do know that certs are worthless, but still, if the luser buys it
(which they will) you look good, get payed well, and people will not feel nervous about referring you to others.
In my personal ethnic enclave (to which I do not believe in, yet am forced to) nobody gets anything from each other *below-retail.* Aunt **** needed help with her computer after her 2yr old stuck a floppy disk into the CD-rom drive, but I still charged her for time and parts, because she would only do the same to me. (Besides the point, she is a lawyer!)
The worst is when you go to do someone a favor. When you are leaving everything works, system actually now boots. Yet at the next family function, she goes around telling everyone how you *broke* her e-mail. Sorry for the rant, but when one's family is as fux0r3d as mine, you gotta vent it somewhere.
Notice how it says The Archive will provide historians, researchers, scholars, and others access to this vast collection of data (reaching ten terabytes), and ensure the longevity of this information.
Oh how the times have changed. BTW: Considering the importance of the archive, be gentle! Slashdoting archive.org == bad!
Not in Israel, there are hundreds of dicoteques, and they are all very very popular. "Disco" is a very large part of the Israeli culture.
So in reponse to your question... No, people in the vincinity of disco balls are not unhappy all the time. They are only unhappy when they are not high anymore. Oh... right, weed (or as they call it, Chashish) is a problem in some of the discoteques.
I have not been to DPL lately (for all you non-`troiters, dpl=Detroit Public Library") and the last time that I was there they used a non-computer system for check in and check out. Wouldn't that type of "non-automated" system totally foil and piss off the FBI?
Neil Stephenson's book, Snow Crash. Finally modern-day-tech can make me one of the super-doggies like they had! Wait, come to think about it, the radioactive isotope used to power it (the robo-doggie from the book) were quite nasty, something about a 5 mile zone of radiation... I'll cancel that order.
Tropospheric ducting is your friend! Actually my first experience with tropospheric ducting was on a sunday night around 10pm, and I was able to reach a radio station in Ironwood MI (about 250miles from where I am,) with fairly decent quality. What was playing in Ironwood? Well... simple, Hearts of Space. IMHO one of the best radio shows around.
The *graveyard* is only a 10 minute drive away from my house! Only 1 hour till the next show! But damn it is cold around here. Maybe I'll take pictures but where should I post them (IE a place that can take a slashdotting?)

PPP, what an amazing game.

True, the segway does not do tai chi, but you are forgetting the fact that this new 'tai-chi' robot is a biped.

Actually when on a google search for the song, I found the following site Google'c cachse of Fractured Christmas Carols.

Shit... this psychopath lives right next to me. Well, um, OK, down the street (1 block) away from me.
*huddles in corner, whimpering. Please don't slashdot my house too!*

Well, it seems as if the wayback machine has indeed created a paradox. A simple lookup of 127.0.0.1 gives some fairly interesting results.
The most interesting of these is the one from October 19th 2000. See for yourself!

What will `Tux do without his internet access? Actually, I thought that Antarctica was uninhabited except for scientists and researchers.
Funny, it seems to be slashdotted.
What a sad, sad world...

Damn those rich people and their tailors!
The duct tape is for the mouths of Apple's lawyers.
Would you like my ssn with that too?

Quote: Maybe such systems will be reliable (in laptops) by putting in 2 of such harddrives (RAID5?).
Nope, you are probably thinking about raid 1 (which requires at least 2 drives) where the drives are mirrored.
Raid 5 on the other hand requires at least 3 drives
One good source for the different levels of RAID is ACNC's Raid.edu
BTW: "raid.edu" is not the URL of the site, only the title.
