4 AA's or 4 AAA's with a diode that drops the voltage around 0.6 volts (from 4.8 to 4.2)
Actually a friend of mine has an old ass TDMA phone that has 3 or 4 longer AAA's in it.
I replaced the battery pack of a 486 laptop with 12AA's which seems to work okay. Most nimh battery packs are built with cells that are bigger than AA, so I personally call them A cells.
The problem with standardizing battery packs is that limits the changability of the rest of the device, of course with lithium ions only lasting 3 years tops, standardization might not be a bad thing to pursue.
With games like WoW the way the economy works is a person spends time playing the game, and earn crap. Theoretically you play for X hours and have equipment/stats that match it. I'm thinking a time based economy vs a money based economy. Buying gold for WoW, theres probably a premium for someone else doing the work for you, but you still can play the game if you want, with entropia you need to pay for stuff from the get go. Personally I got bored of WoW after around level 24, just one character. I guess it'd be worthwhile to know how far a person can go with $40 + $15 a month in throwing money at entropia, and if it's got something to offer beyond playing it for a week hardcore:)
I don't think taxes are optional, this is premium, who knows, some people might want to pay money so they can crack jokes about anything being powered by shit.
if the slower storage is still online and accessable at say 1998 hd speeds that'd still be good enough, without reading the article it seems like a good idea
Hell, if its a text document you need only once a year then 1970 hd speeds might be good enough (for reading the doc, not MS Word)
I saw blah blah blah distro, so fun idea, why not make the necessary libraries for running the application available, and then run the program in a self contained box (chroot jail?) for distros that wont work with said game?
irda is usually like a few feet, infrared for remote controls need to be tens of feet. My PDA just doesn't have the same output power as a normal remote control. The angle also might be diminsished as I've had to be within 3feet and aim it directly. Personally I'm not sure if everyone having programmable remotes with them all the time is a good idea:)
I really don't understand your point of view on this, I don't see how you go from decrypting data about a phone to everyones privacy being broken. if it was someones personal property, it'd be the phone manufacturors personal secret data. Like how was everyones links exposed?
erm, are you sure personal information was in that block? from the FA it sounds like that block only contains stuff about the phone, which is encrypted to deter hacking around with it.
Thats like freaking out over someone having a copy of the first block of your hard drive, cos they might have your personal information. But its just bootloader and maybe a partition table
Doom and normal quake cough out 2d graphics, ie the games themselves do the 3d rendering
actually Doom was 2.5d, you couldn't walk in one place on the map at two heights, well you could not make maps that'd do that. Ie no bridges that you walk under, go up stairs and then walk across
Idea I think is drag window a tad, see whats under it, drop it, with the 1px borders, its pick up window, position 1pixel border, drop and then the window goes into where you dropped the border.
Now if when you dragged the window it undrew it from the old position, that'd be the same.

damn, nobody I know even blinked at my non-hotmail msn address, maybe they think i have super powers or something.

uhhhh standard port for ssh is port 22.
video rental places spend lots of money on a copy of a dvd, because they get a copy thats licensed for rental.
HTTP proxying requests like GET http://slashdot.org/ HTTP/1.1 and DNS *can* be done with TCP requests.

oh, I was alluding to a badly configured webserver which made slashdotting exceedingly easy.
Maybe they had some wrong answers when setting up thier server?

I dont drill holes in the wall with my blender, but they both spin and run off of electricity, so why shouldn't they?
Also if they're selling a $1200 bundle, that means someones probably going to buy it, that doesn't mean either you or me are going to buy it.
If all they had was that one bigass bundle, then I could see a problem.
I figure the 90 day thing is best paired up with complex passwords written on post-its.
Would want to eventually change passwords accessable through the internet, but not 90 days.
specific reasons like 1 million customer records were stolen by someone?
A consequence cannot be generated, only the conditions that lead to it can be.
no offence but your post just seems like an orgasm of scientific words, not really thought out.

Only young people complain about agism, how often do you see an old fart complain about agism :)
seek time should be low enough for fragmentation not to matter.
What kind of lock in are you talking about?
