I know that I'm going to get modded down for this, but this isn't news worthy at all.
This is a total hackjob that required no real knowledge of electronics or real craftsmanship to accomplish.
I really think that everyone on the Internet has gone soft. We used to drive excellence through insults, and when an insult came along, everybody else insulted the person until they either left or got better at what they did. The Internet used to breed excellence and anything short was seen as a waste of bandwidth. Now someone just chops together two video game units and gets all sorts of attention on the front page of Slashdot.
Get off my lawn! I don't want to see this garbage on the front page of Slashdot!
For as long as I can remember, I've always said that if the United States wanted to be serious about fuel consumption, that it would install roundabouts throughout it's cities.
The cost of the infrastructure switchover would be offset by the savings to tax payers in no time.
The government wouldn't like this because it means more money spent on infrastructure and less tax income from gasoline. In the end, less money fed to the machine.
It's good to see hackers like this out there trying to (and succeeding) in subverting the elite.
So long as they sit on the patent and allow for a free-for-all licensing, this could prove to be wonderful. I never understood the need for 50 million printer drivers when the printer is now a computer-on-a-chip.
I'm sure that all the overpaid provosts and student loan agents on commission will agree. Most engineers I know started their own companies, built products, and got rich. University had little to do with it. Now I can understand the value in something like Civil or Structural Engineering, or some medical programs, but everything else is mostly liberal-arts garbage. Even at that, I'm sure that experience / aptitude testing through organizations like ABET could all but eliminate today's dead College/University system.
I never understood how they justified this. X-Rays are considered high risk. They keep quoting radiation dosages, but it doesn't seem to factor the fact that this is ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation that damages DNA. Damaged DNA that causes cancer cells. Why is this allowed?
When are we going to get rid of this garbage money system and get rid of the entire idea of taxation? Just let the government create money when they want to do something. All money is is allocation of resources.
Does nobody here see the retirement of the shuttle as a good thing? I for one love where NASA is going, and with the shuttle gone we are closer to seeing the Multi Purpose Crew Vehicle headed for deep space.
This is complete garbage. We have to at least assume some sort of level of competency for the readers of this site. What are we trying to do here, be PBS for kids?
I'd also worry about the higher potential risk for cancer in an organ that would normally exist for a total of say 75 years, that may now end up existing for about 120.
Just because the next generation of manned spacecraft isn't launching a giant glider into orbit every launch doesn't mean that it is going back to the 1970s.
I'm so confused. Why do the antivirus / anti-malware packages out there not detect and delete these stupid things?
I know that the stupid XP Antivirus even sets a key in the registry that marks.EXE files as "safe file"
I assume that means that IE will then open and execute any.EXE that heads it's way.
It seems that removing these infections involves the tedious process of booting the hard drive from another machine, and manually picking it all clean.
Only then, does the registry have to be picked through with a fine tooth comb to keep more infections from arising.
I've seen some where Windows Explorer is set as being the actual virus, so that when an AV program deletes it, one cannot log in.
I know that Windows is horrible, and it is not used within my enterprise, but how is it that these infections are able to even exist? Where do they come from?
Slashdot Mirror
That doesn't look like a standard 115AC outlet. Maybe it's 220 or European? I'm surprised that his landlord hasn't said anything about it.

This seems to happen to Debian ... a lot.
I don't understand how moving in a vacuum increases your mass.
It's an old old joke that a lot of the astronauts always told, and probably still do.
Prior art!

We must fly to space.
I trust your word good fellow, and the Internet now has this priceless quote etched into the fabric of time.
"Space Exploration is not endless circles in low earth orbit." -Buzz Aldrin
Is that a real quote? I can't find it anywhere.

Look up European ATV (Automated Transfer Vehicle)

This seems like a good time to start an open-source minded registrar.

One can say the same thing about books, radio, tv, tv with sound, or tv with colour.
I'm sure old timer story tellers thought that books were expensive, rare toys for people who had no one to tell stories to them.

Does an obsession with following a certain set of methodologies always benefit the bottom line?
Just because the next generation of manned spacecraft isn't launching a giant glider into orbit every launch doesn't mean that it is going back to the 1970s.
I've always thought that this would be possible. Now we just need to create a translator that will let us play our retro games with vector graphics.

People have been saying this since the beginning of Apple. If you're going to bash Apple, you are going to have to try harder.
