Would one of the rules be that the Bush administration are incapable of using the "diplomat" piece?
Nah, we'd send in the diplomat piece and at the first sign of disagreement say "Well it is obvious that we are getting no where here." Then recall him and then use gps guided missles to knock out all of the other chess pieces. Then we'd put oil wells on all of the black squares because "If it's black, it's gotta be oil!" Meanwhile we realize that the other chess pieces were merely puppets for a supreme ruler sitting behind the chess board. So we drop a bunker-buster on him. By this time, the added weight of all of the oil wells causes the table to colapse injuring the white player. Which of course is now "terrorism" so we use our spy satellites to scan the area. We locate a terrorist cel operating in the closet known as "Al Checkers". A number of small black pieces are located at taken out using the gps guided missiles. But now we are in a quandry. What to do with the red pieces? Well of course we tell them that they are now liberated! But we politely ask that they only stay on the red squares, so we can put oil wells on the black squares. In exchange for that gesture, we will impose trade sanctions and trickle food in.
But wait, I spy some more evil lurking in the closet. Apparently there is a Chinese cel of Al Checkers known as "Chinese Checkers" and oh no! I see a "Monopoly"! Time to call the FTC!
And thus ends another day in the Bush administration.
I hope you enjoyed this piece of politcal humor that I just pulled off the top of my head. I'm a Bush man, but this just flowed so easily.:)
Does anyone else remember the 24/96 modems that used to be sold? They were touted as "almost as good as" the true 9600bps modems. They used compression to achieve higher speeds which were actually just choppier and didn't seem much faster. Some of the original compression standards were MNP5 and later V42.bis.

I've seen some video on CNN of a "secret" miltary facility in the Iraq area and just about everyone there had something from the Dell Inspiron 8x00 series. Certainly not battlefield ready but certainly useful for mobility and power when crunching a lot of data and a fast GPU for displaying graphical information.
I just find better control in the keyboard vs a game pad or joystick. When I hit left,I know I'm going left. I can hit down + forward and it registers much better.
Try playing Street Fighter II with a keyboard and mouse. Watch me whip you with a PS1 controller connected to the PC through an EMS USB2 adapter.
Well, if you want to make a fool of yourself, go ahead. I've been MAMEing on a keyboard since the start and continue to give diehard controller gamers a nice man-beating.
I've even played them against me on the keyboard and them on the arcade control. See my website Mame Arcade Cabinet. When I play SFII, SFA, SFA2,SFA3 on keyboard I can rock anyone.
damn. That's some hot chick wearing that Sisley bikini. I've heard of bikinis being smaller than their price tags, but that might just be smaller than their RFID tags!
Ok now, calm down. This is what you call a "Woman" (Wuh-mahn). Now the sticky mushroomy shaped thing that you have fits into the little mail-slot thing under the bikini. Be sure to ask for permission first otherwise your mushroomy thing might be harvested.
what you get when you choose a security through obscrurity strategy within an open source deployment. how many script kiddies know MIPS assembler? my little cobalt raq2 is a lovely server running a 2.0 kernel:)
Yep I've got a web server running OpenBSD 2.7 on a SparcClassic. I feel the same way.
Dell uses Micron and Infineon (Siemens) for SDRAM and DDR. For RDRAM I think they mainly use Toshiba. I always recommend Crucial to people because it is just the retail branch of Micron. Lifetime warranty and I've never had a failed stick.
The Airforce VC-25A is basically a modified 747, they could mount one inside there to protect the President. Or just to go "cow popping" on his ranch:)
Weren't they trying to help IBM port AIX over to x86 or Itanium (forget which) at one point? The project was called Tarantella before the name got dumped onto another project.
Also they just got certified for IBM DB2 on sco recently so they need to be careful or IBM might just forget to ever certify them again.
Lets say I got rooted because I'm running an open Telnet port on my connection and someone uses it to turn my computer into a spam factory spewing gigs of spam each day. Or lets make it more realistic. The slammer worm. It is not the ISP's fault that the user is an idiot. Remember the slammer fix was posted a long time before the slammer came out. You need a clause in your TOS.
In the same vien as your excellent comment, why is it that in MS Windows 95/98 there is a default for simultainous buffer commits that cause the disk heads to go crazy?
When I turned that off I got a certain Clarion report to go from 45 minutes of thrashing to 5 SECONDS of purring...
Can you provide some more info on this? I'm interested in what you did.
The japanese PS2 uses a pcmcia port and an external hard drive. The American version is a edge connector similar to the ones used in the drive bays on laptops. I wonder if someone will port Knoppix
over to the PS2 maybe get it running with a mod chip ?:) Knoppix is debian based too.
You cannot allow companies to trademark common names or words, I don't want to have to pay royalties everytime I use the word pie.
That and the web. This is why we end up with names like Verizon, Cingular, Enterasys, Celeron, Athlon etc. They are names made up by marketing departments to avoid legal problems.
Hmm forgot about that one, I would like to give that a spin. I'll probably wait until it hits bargain bin, like most games i play. Thanks for pointing that out though!
I've seen it online for $15 somewhere. I was downloading the demo and it said something like "Like the demo? Buy the full version for $14.95! Click here"
Slashdot Mirror
There are some "generic" memory sticks now Lexar for example.
On what levels does your mind opertate?
:P
Years could be spent trying to figure that out.
How can you be a Bush man and come up with that kind of stuff?
Sarcasm can come from any one. I just pretended I was Al Jazeera. (Evil Grin)

So a CS network card and a pci one? I wasn't aware that CS devices worked under linux. Good to know. Since I've got a 6360 laying around.

What is it going to feel like having your ass handed to you on a cracker by the x86 *nix community??

Basically a platform for arcade gaming based on the x86 architechture.
I may never need it but it is good to file away in the old grey matter. Thanks!

And buy myself a "Kingwood" car stereo, some "SUNY" speakers. Oh yeah, and a pair of "Tomi Hillfiggar" jeans. ;)
The name is about as bad as any knock-off, when truly it isn't. You've got a potential Ferrari, but you name it a Hunda Civoc.

Why post a review of something on slashdot when your site can't handle it?
