I voted Libertarian in the last election. If you actually want things to change you can't keep electing people who are only a couple steps away from the middle of the road. You need people who are so far out that when you average their contribution it actually makes a significant move away from the middle of the road. Of course most third parties don't really fall in the left right scheme of things, it's really more of a different quadrant. The thing third parties really would add to politics is an extra dimension.
I signed up to get e-mail updates on gmail availability several months ago, and they sent an invite to that e-mail on February 18th. I'm not sure if they sent those at random to people who had signed up for updates or all of them.
All you need to do to stop this is run your computer on an atomic clock. Instead of measuring your time shift, it will end up measuring that of the computer analysing the data, because your clock will be more accurate. Also, once many computers have atomic clocks, the time shift differences would be too miniscule to detect, and you'd never be able to pick out which computer with an atomic clock you were tracking.
I think all games should be programed to run on Beowulf clusters, that way you could spend as much as you wanted on your gaming system, rather than being limited to a paltry $5000 or so that you might be able to dump into one computer.
The first time I ever had a video card upgrade was with an SLI add on card on my old 120mhz intel. There where clouds in mechwarrior after I installed it!
Yes, and here's a link to an article in the British magazine, New Scientist, which has one picture. Small article with a pic. (the sever may not be in britain though)
I don't like Nevada. However, I live about 5 miles from one of the oldest (now decomissioning) nuclear power plant in the US, and I was never worried about it. They even brought the reactor within half a mile of my house to load it onto a train while decommisioning the plant. The evacuation plan is right there in the phonebook if something goes wrong. They aren't trying to keep any secrets.
The 24th's a good day in my book, the next episode of Battlestar Galactica airs that day (on sky one in Britain, but that's what bittorrent is for right?).
Just put the new Bose suspension system on the car if you want it to jump. Check out the last paragraph on page four of this article for a description.
As far as I'm aware the law commonly cited as making internet gambling illegal in the US is dubiously applied to the internet, and not likely to stand up as covering internet gambling if tested in court. As far as I know there is no legal precedent for the legality of internet gambling. There are however, states which have blanket laws prohibiting any gambling, and then they make specific exeptions to the law for casinos and lotteries and such.
While this looks like a good start, this isn't likely to catch on until it can be installed from a single.exe file for windows users. Then it would have to have one GUI that provides a seemless interface for finding and downloading.torrent files distributed among Kenosis nodes, and then automatically starts downloading the files using the Kenosis distributed trackers.
On the bright side, if this hits we won't have to worry about global warming flooding out all the people in Bangladesh, because the Tsunami will get them first.
No need to terminate the browser, you just have to be faster than internet explorer, and hit the back button before it pops up again. It also helps to have an older computer.
I fail to see how climbing a 290 foot ribbon, on battery power, is even relevant to building a space elevator. It's realy just someone's fun little robotics engineering project. The amount of energy needed to climb all the way to space is so huge that either a highly energy dense storage medium not yet available, wireless power transmission, or transmitting power on the ribbons themselves if that turns out to be possible, are the only viable options to power a space elevator. Other than that, the lifter is a simple engineering project that could be built today.

Halo 2 Released

1)Apparently you have a rather old computer, as anyone with a modern computer would have an optical mouse and thus not need a mousepad. This may explain your affinity for consoles. If you run out of room with an optical mouse, you probably just need to clear some dirty dishes of your desk.
2)With a mouse my aiming hand can also press up to 4 buttons at one time, while aiming. While your control pad only allows you to press one button while aiming, and you have to stop aiming briefly to reload, change grenade type, switch weapons, hit someone, turn on a flashlight, or jump. Meanwhile your hand moving your character only ever has access to two other buttons, while my keyboard hand, which at last count had 5 fingers not 2-3 (woodshop accident?) in fact my left hand has access to 27 buttons, although I havent had to program more than 18 more easily reached keys for any game i've played. This leaves me with 24 keys, 4 of which are devoted to movement, thus I have 20 keys to do what I want with to your 10, although with the game interface simplification required to support the limited interface of a DJC, I probably won't be using 10 of my buttons when Halo 2 comes out for pc. I've never noticed an issue with a keyboard not accepting commands in a game because I'm pressing too many buttons.
3)if you're going to spend $200 on a nice grapics card you probably spent $30-40 on a nice optical mouse too, and I've never noticed an optical mouse glitch. And of course my mouse is made by Microsoft, who at last check, also make the X-box, and my keyboard. Enough said about quality
4)Never noticed the keyboard being overloaded in games, thus it isn't a problem, but it might be helped by a usb keyboard if it becomes an issue.
Well, I did try out a DJC, last night on Halo 2 until 3 am, and having played Halo on a pc before, I can say that I would be twice the player I was last night back on a proper keyboard and mouse interface. DJC controls are just awfull and frustrating when compared to the venerable mouse and keyboard combination
I've been using outlook express with hotmail for a while now, and that's the only reason I ever stuck around for only 2mb of space. I guess now I'll just fully change everything over to gmai as well. On a side note, I'll send a invite to gmail to the first 2 people brave enough to reply to this with their e-mail address on a slashdot forum.
Yeah, I own a pirated copy of windows XP, and religously update everytime slashdot post a story about a new windows virus, which works out to about 10 times more often than they release patches.
There's something here even more amazing than a flying enterprise. They've got a server hosting 4 Mb video files on slashdot's frontpage, and it hasn't crashed yet!

Just phase out money, and all kinds of little problems like this won't matter.

Actually, I used the middle button to click on the link, thus opening it in a new tab while reading the rest of the post.

I sent for a starter package on the America's Space Prize 2 months ago, and I never recieved a reply of any sort. I don't think it actually exists.

gmail accounts are currently spreading through invitations by current users, who get a limited number of invites after using gmail for a week or so.
