Heh. Worse than that. Imagine http://www.paypal.com/enteryourcreditcardnumberher e.php! How many people do you think that would fool? I'd be guessing a lot more than sites now are.
Actually, I bought an iPod because it was bar none the best mp3 player money could buy (at the time I bought it, and I'm not sure much has changed). Contrary to your mocking, people *have* gone "Oooooh... cool! iPod!"
How is being called gay slander? Last time I checked, Tux didn't have a wife and kids (cue nerd with a link to a logo containing tux's family). How do you know he's not gay?
What's more, since when did you have to be gay to rape someone? It's violence, not love.
No one's going to come in with a severed finger. That's preposterous. However, with a finger, I could peel off the skin, then attatch it over my finger with a little bit of tape or glue. No one would be any the wiser unless they specifically looked at my hands.
Imagine the idendity thefts of dead people. Not a pretty site.
I remember I read awhile ago in some magazine how BMW had the technology to use biometrics in place of keys. The reason they didn't was that someone brought up this idea.
Carjacker + knife + need for your finger = not a pretty scene.
That's kind of kept me off of Biometrics for awhile. Now where'd my tin foil hat go...
You laugh, but a computer with those same specs is sitting 3 feet away from me right now. Still works fine, and it came with the only graphics card I know of that has 4 megs of vram seperated into 4 blocks.
George Bush hasn't added the Sun to the axis of evil. That evildoer is most definitely threatening America's freedom. It's attacked Ear^H^H^H America 6 times now! It must be stopped.
Heh, you aparently don't read a lot of the articles lately. This troll has been parodied more than any other troll that I've seen in my 1.5 years of reading/. I just saw a 20 meg file was in the description, and one of the first comments was about it going slow. I can't resist a good troll.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Hot-File-Adaptive-Clustering fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Panther machine (OS 10.3) for about 22 minutes now while it attempts to defrag a 20 Meg file on my hard drive. 22 minutes. At home, on my B&W G3 running Jaguar, which by all standards should be a lot slower than Panther, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this defrag, 17 MB files will not copy. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even Expose is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working with auto-defrag on, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Panther machine that has run faster than other apples, despite the OS's advancements. System 7 runs faster than Panther at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Panther is a "superior" OS.
Panther addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to upgrade to Panther over other faster, cheaper, more stable OS's.
Slashdot Mirror
What OS are you running? I and someone else (who commented on his blog) couldn't get the exploit to show itself.
In this case it wouldn't be 'in case of slashdotting', it's 'in case of lazy slashdotters who are too lazy to get a free registration.'
It helped me at least.
I've taken the case off my 5gig removed the battery and plugged in the firewire connector to my powermac and it spun up and functioned
Here's a question: Why? I mean, if the battery was dead, you wouldn't need to take it out to test that, would you?

It's really quite a phenomenon.
won't buy one until it supports...
um... I mean until it syncs via...
until it runs... YEAH! Still doesn't run linux. Therefore I won't buy one.
Phew. For a minute there I thought I was going to have to buy it.
excuse my virgin linguistic skills...
FO?

Funny, when I translated it I got

Wow.
Somebody, somewhere, mod that up. Funniest thing I have read all week. Thank you downix.

... you insensitive clod!
At least 6 other people have said this already before you, and you're the only one modded up.
And you talk about dupes.
Oh, the irony.

Yes. Half Life 2.
Unfortunately, that's going to bump up your price a couple hundred dollars.
Probably someone in Iraq will make them. They in fact need thier Tomeatos of mass descuction. I wonder how many people will get the reference.
Thanks for the support. I forget who, but someone had a sig that says "One man's -1 Flamebait is another man's +5 Funny". Too true.

No kidding it slows down!

Why not?
Because *nix isn't nearly as widely used as a desktop OS as Windows is, and the ones using it are generally more computer-savvy.
All that for $300? Hell, the 80 gigs alone has got to cost at least $1500... *please mod or reply +1, funny or -1, unfunny, not -1, stupid*

You're basically describing Bill Nye the Science Guy. That went on for quite awhile, and I even watched it in school up to Biology (as a freshman).
