It's a football field either way, half as long as a VW Beetle, weighs as much as 4 cowboyneals, and gets to its target quicker than a win2k server box can be slashdotted:P
you're right. Let's take away the entire bill of rights. i mean, it was written 200 years ago, who needs it?
the second amendment, just like the rest of them, still apply to modern society. just ask the US Supreme Court.
I sincerely doubt i have to explain much further.
even military cruise missiles can't reach low orbit. That's impossible:P
Incidentally, i noticed his margin of error for targeting is +- 100 yards. YARDS, people. a football field either way. for terrorists this won't matter too much, but i imagine greater accuracy should be a primary goal.
First, i don't necessarily agree that a song is an ad for a CD, but just as a 45-second clip of a movie is part of a movie, even a FULL song is only part of a cd.
that having been said, how could your IP system work? where would this machine look for songs? How would it download them from a user without having the connection drop/having the user be suspicious that all 400 of his mp3's are being uploaded at once? Where would the RIAA get this kind of bandwith? How would it compare the mp3 to the actual song? would it decompress it to WAV? would it encode the actual song to mp3 at certain bitrates and search for that? and as for IP, that works until the IP of the user is changed, which if you're on dialup is about every 10 minutes. Then you get a new ip when you sign back on. unless you mean it looks for that person's UID with their ISP...and i don't even know if that's possible.
Oh, and the whole settlement check thing, i thought the idea of the RIAA was to make money, not to hand out thousands to people for wrongful internet access denial.
not a troll or flame, just a request for clarification.
We need not imagine. This article shows that P2P can be better than real downloads. Red Hat 9 subscribers paid $60/Yr to download the ISO's directly from redhat, and were recieving them half as fast as those who used the free P2P client BitTorrent. Yay for P2P!
I like AIM. I really do. Its client for Linux is rather lacking, but a lot of people have it. It doesn't seem as bloated as ICQ, but it still has a lot of features. And you can bet just about anyone online has an AIM SN. The service is rher reliable, too, I've found.
Other good clients for Linux are Everybuddy, which does AIM/ICQ/IRC/MSN/Yahoo (the big 5), and GAIM, which does AIM/Jabber. On Mac OS X the AIM client from AOL just plain rocks, it's got intelligent design that blows the win32/linux clients away. On OS X, "Fire" also does well, as it caters to all the big 5 protocols as well. If i must use windows, though, i use Trillian. Trillian is extremely well implimented, and handles the big 5. It's actually to the point where i wish there was an OS X/Linux port available because i simply don't use windows anymore.
This isn't the first movie/film type thing i've seen using a 3d engine for it's effects. Do you think Hollywood may catch on to using game engines for it's CG effects or movies? do you think this could be a way for amateur film geeks to do cheap SFX movies? As long as we're talking about amateur movies, check out Star Wreck. It's brilliant.
a Broadband? you mean like the dixie chicks? i hate the dixie chicks.
seriously though, isn't broadband something that combines 2 types of data, like CATV+Internet or Phone+internet? am i wrong?
My Zaurus in case i need to jot down notes, my PC laptop running Linux for making/formatting boot disks, some blank floppies, a tool kit containing blank CD's, a 2D-cell maglite, a pc repair kit, and a whole slew of standoffs, screws and jumpers, and a precision tool kit (16 screwdrivers and 4 pairs of pliers). I also carry a CD wallet containing Nero burning Rom, Norton utils/antivirus, my own Utils CD (contains just about every win98 tweak or repair program ever, from fdisk to memmaker, Sandra, even the images for the win3.11 for workgroups install floppies and the Linux Bootable Business Card!) Full install media for Dos 6.22, Win95, 98, NT4, XP Pro Corporate, 2k Pro, Server, ADV server, and of course the upgrade CD for ME, full installs of Mandrake, Slack, Redhat, Debian, FreeBSD, OS/2, and BeOS, a Knoppix boot cd, and for you fellow Mac fans, Full installs for OS X 10.2, OS 9.2.2, and a whole cd full of mac tech manuals! I also carry an anti-static wrist strap and all the win32 utils you could want (winzip, winamp, etc etc etc. I have the OEM #'s for all the windows versions, plus i carry around all my games and such since they all fit neatly in my cd carrier (208 disc carrier.) I also carry around my iBook for it's cd-burner feature and ability to connect to the internet in almost any way you could ever want. I also carry a supply of 5 fresh bandaids in case i cut myself on some jagged case metal or an old expansion card turned sawblade.
But then, that's not what i carry when i know i'll be fixing a pc;)
it's not really commercialization because, as the other poster said, they have to eat, and you have to be commercial to have full time developers (unless you're the debian project;P). The other part of it is he would have done all this for free anyway, and all this money is being poured back into the project, rather than into that nice Hi-Fi he saw at Best Buy last week. As long as he's not making any money from it, it's not commercialized.
basically, any place where size, noise, and power consumption are the most important factors.
You mean like in a laptop?
just kidding. Laptops are muy espensivo compared to mini-itx boxen, especially considering the mini-itx's ability to be built into nearly anything (see mini-itx.com for examples.)
Hell yes, i'd race a mini-cooper against a T-bird. As long as it's not a drag race.
The new T-bird isn't all *that* fast anyway. And a mini-cooper will trounce darn near anything in the twisties.
BTW, I play q3 on my mini-itx box all the time. Geforce 2 MX 64MB PCI video card works wonders on those little things.
Slashdot Mirror
I don't honestly understand why people get so fired up about marijuana being legalized. I think canada has the right idea here.
;)
Disclaimer: I don't actually smoke marijuana...although i use a Mac, so that's close enough
Deaths from tobacco cigarettes in the US, 2002: 400,000
Deaths from Marijuana in the US, 2002: 0.00
Now tell me, which one should be illegal?
I'm guessing "In the Missile." However, i'm not an expert.

Do i REALLY need to clarify the moral difference between owning guns and owning cruise missiles?
i mean seriously.

I guess my office has the biggest commputer part ever with 8.
I really don't see what the number of computers in the room has to do with the size of the computer's parts.

That's really cool, i didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

That car didn't look like it was exactly happy *before* they case modded it ;)
Spoiler, Ground FX, thin tires that slap louder than a pound of C4 going off when you run over a fly...
If you ask me, this is a huge improvement.
Or does it look better at the end than it did when they started? I hate those tacky rice-rocket "I HAVE A SPOILER SO I GOEZ FASTAR!!" add-ons.

No, that's what you sing when a sun machine is being shipped to your house/workplace.

And buy into the Microsoft monopoly on Operating Systems... hopefully you'll be using a Mac or a Linux box for this!

Profit!!!
Against a camaro i'd say yeah, the Mini will lose...but a T-bird is not a camaro. It's way cooler, but it's definitely not as fast.
