...is a how-to on making a stroboscopic mouse-led. That combined with a dayglo-orange mouse pad and some black-lights would make for the coolest trance-party deejay-PC around!
Maybe if so many script kiddies/ warez'ers/ napsterites hadn't gone so fscking overboard downloading/spamming/sharing, the legislations wouldn't have any backing.
And who can assure that these laws would not be created/enforced/whatever anyway? The big corps and government sell-outs (read: whores in Armani suits) know all too much on many ways to milk a given cow.
It would be too much bother for so little.
As the saying goes, "the chicken fills the belly grain by grain". Plus, I really don't think it was the script kiddies/warezers/whatever that made them notice, because those always existed. This "problem" came into the spotlight because the average Joe was downloading music and "hurting business" (average Joe is a "terrorist" nowadays). That is, presuming they wouldn't just jack up the 'net laws anyway, which I whole-heartedly think they would. Every possible source of revenue (especially steady ones) is welcome.
In the year 2029 I'll be able to download and experience in first(inner?)-person the feeling that the AOL CEO had when he saw that 1 million of his cherished CDs had been bulk-mailed to his penthouse...:)
So sang Beck... "I got a devil's haircut in my mind". Someday that'll be literal.
After reading the headline, I thought "cool, another one of those 'some guy blasted a PC into oblivion' page with pictures of bullets puncturing the case". Well, served as an incenting to read up the article...
Perhaps that now that they reverse engineered this particular DC modem, they find that it shares some similarities with all the other PCI winmodems out there.
Being the case, it wouldn't be that hard to get all those unsupported modems working on Linux. It sure would help a lot of people.
Well, I've looked at the robot, but I still see two problems, the first one being sandstorms (which I don't know if they actually exist in the Mojave desert), turning the robot upside down or simply blowing it to smithereens, and the second being it sinking in sand. Imagine a slow wind-storm that carries a lot of sand. The robot starts to get muddled up in it and tries to climb off from it but it's no avail since there's always more sand coming. How can it cope with that? Does it have the Zerg's Burrow ability?:)
Fabulous discovery! All the recent games run at ~0.2fps on my PC so I guess I have an IKOS box inside it. I wonder if I could trade with nVidia for a few GF4's:)
Just get (or make) some page with *lots* of nested tables and sub-tables. Then try switching between some other page and that one and you'll see the delay before Mozilla draws the HTML, even on a powerful PC (1.2Ghz Duron).

Altavista lists my country (Portugal) as "Portugual" in the worldwide/ search. 'Nuff said :)

(an obvious choice, I know, but still true
... I guess you get to see lots of broken glass, bent metal and loose tires... and you might actually get to see God :)
Your girl gives off heat with only sunlight? Where can I get one like that? :D

It's not a problem with *my* modem, it's a problem with a thousand (million?) people's winmodems that don't have linux drivers...

I could use that car's battery for my laptop :D
