(Someone using a laptop probably wouldn't mind unplugging for a few seconds while you plugged in the strip (so you could share the outlet), unless he was a complete turlingdrome.)
FYI...ask before doing this. Some idiot did that to me and my battery is fried. He unplugged while I was saving my expense report. If he had asked I could have told him and the 2nd outlet was another guy who had a battery.
Also, can anybody vouch for the legitimacy of those other things, particularly the plasma and laptop offers?
They had a special on that on Dallas news not long ago. They did all 3 and all 3 of them actually work. It is a pyramid scheme of email addy collection for the spammers(but an alternate email addy works...grin). They interviewed the guy who gave away the iPods and he said the ppl buying the addresses pay for the iPods instead.
That's because America is a cult of personality. People love following other people and drooling all over them and knowing everything they do
Thats how I think of England with the papparazi. Its not just Americans. Unfortunately its all over the world and we'll eventually have nothing left for entertainment except tabloids and reality shows.....ugh.
and not infect other worlds with our wisdom. You're thinking backwards. *WE* don't go....we send the "important" people like lawyers and telemarketers first and we'll be along shortly....*cough*
Check again. The garbage collection process as well as the fact that it does not release memory in some situations for 1 hour or until the application is closed constitutes a leak.
The biggest problem with that is you need a specific service from the phone company that usually isn't available if DSL or cable modem isn't available. They don't even have caller ID where my parents live now. They're on satellite still and just got off of the 9600 baud dialup (thats as fast as the old phone lines would go). There is no call waiting or any other service that would make Modem-on-Hold work. The problem is that most people who live in an area where broadband is available forget that people still live in areas that don't have these luxuries. Unfortunately it leads to all kinds of people saying "what an idiot...you don't have broadband yet?" comments. I foresee many of these to come in this commentary below.
This deluxe version of S-presso features a touch-control color display panel as well as a TV tuner, remote control, and multimedia center software.
I wonder if it would work with mythtv? That would be pretty cool and would look alot better than my beige tower sitting next to my widescreen right now.
Well I wasn't trying to imply she is the only one. I'm just saying...imagine hundreds of people like her on the road filling the system with false reports. And the parent is based on "if" this were a use for this technology so there wouldn't be any past tense of her wasting her time doing it;)
If you go to a movie in a Theatre, you get to SEE the movie in its entirety,
Yeah thats what I thought when I went to see the 2nd Matrix movie. I was shocked to see "to be continued" on a friggin movie theatre screen. They should have picked a better endpoint where there was some closure rather than charging 2 movie tickets months apart for one movie split in half.
Ability for travellers to self-police. If some guy is driving 60mph+ over the speed limit, likely you could have people report this driver.. Enough complaints and an officer will know where to respond.
My ex g/f was the queen of road rage. She would abuse the hell out of this and turn in everyone who was only going 5 mph over the speed limit and wouldn't get out of her way.
I don't want to carry another PDA sized device in my laptop bag just to detect wifi networks. A key chain device seems to be the better form factor, even if it doesn't list the networks.
Which makes me think it would be totally cool if they had something like this that was USB (like the jumpdrives) that could also act as a USB wireless adapter when plugged in or as a standalone detector. That would be something I would buy.
I always wondered why the radar gun manufacturers weren't hit. There were lots of stories of police officers with tumors when they had the rear mounted radar shooting past their head. Hell they're pointing it at civilians still.
once he manages to drag the American government and populace over to the metric system (kicking and screaming no doubt)
I agree we should go metric. Most people just don't like change. It is funny though that we are being slowly transitioned and nobody notices. Ask anyone if they know what a liter is. They know. Thats what some of the soft drinks come in now. Ask them if they know what 100 meters is...anyone who ran track or spent time on one knows where they 100 meter dash is run. Ask any druggie what a kilo is and I'm sure they can tell you;)
Yeah that seems to be the only spam I'm getting too. Allen.blahblahblahblah random generated crap as the subject. They're obviously all from the same people so I'm not sure why gmail didn't just block the IP.
I know its stupid to respond to an AC..but... from my post..but they probably won't know that if they use a crappy password, someone can gain access to every folder they have.
From your post And it won't be a problem unless you are stupid as a user and do what they say not to do. Uhhh ok....and where in your mental state did you come up with this? I said they need a password policy to keep bad passwords from happening. Where are you getting off ragging on me saying this? Are you 12?
Page 27: using smbmount to map network resources. You could mention you can do this via a gui very similar to the network neighborhood thing if they are in Gnome or KDE.
You might want to add Mac software to the list of *nix equivalents.
Add a section on locking down the workstation. It won't take people long to figure out they can ssh to anyones box and start messing with people. Any users familiar with setting up windows shares can only share certain folders (barring administrator access to c$, etc), but they probably won't know that if they use a crappy password, someone can gain access to every folder they have. Which reminds me, mention password rulesets and how to implement on the authentication server solutions listed.
Well I wonder if it is like current raid where you have to stack them back in the same order in your "Rubics cube" looking stack. That would be a pain if the one in the middle went bad.
If the halfwitted political loudmouths of society can be convinced this new form is "better" than the old form (whether it is or not) then we may get somewhere with it. If it ever works that is.
Don't get me wrong because I agree, but I am amazed when I see comments like this on a slashdot. This is the most liberal site I have ever seen in my life. Most on here voted for Kerry I would bet and don't even keep track of which party does the most to help things like this or hurt it. Most tree huggers are Democrats. The tree huggers are the ones trying to stop things like this. Bush has dedicated funds to this and I submitted the story in 2003 (rejected of course...was pro-Bush). Here is an html ver of the doc. here or the pdf if you prefer.
From the article: Friday, January 31, 2003By ROBERT STERNPLAINSBORO - After a five-year hiatus, the United States next month will rejoin internationalnegotiations to develop fusion energy as a commercial power source, U.S. Energy SecretarySpencer Abraham said yesterday.
5 year hiatas...who was in office then? Oh yeah democrats.
U.S. participation in construction of the $5 billion project would cost an estimated $500million in constant 2002 dollars over a 10-year period, according to the Department ofEnergy.
And people on here say Bush doesn't do anything to help with alternative fuel research all the time. Articles like this are rejected of course. From it you see:George Bush, an oilman, could wind up a sort of fuel-economy and alternative-fuel president.
He's already boosted mileage requirements for trucks 7%, to an average 22.2 miles per gallon for 2007 models. He's committed $1.7 billion to hydrogen-fuel research. And he has made decisions that helped the ethanol-fuel industry boost production to 3.4 billion gallons this year, double from when he took office.
In a second term, lobbyists and public policy veterans expect him to do even more for renewable fuels such as ethanol, reshape fuel-economy regulations in ways that could require even better mileage, and push a Republican Congress to pass an energy bill with generous tax credits for people who buy especially fuel-efficient vehicles.
So basically, the progress being made on fusion was funded in part by this administration and funding was cut by the previous. Anyone who mods this down is just a Bush basher and I plead to you now, don't hide the truth. The media already does that enough. I don't want a flamewar. I'm only talking about the last 2 administrations and the current topic of fusion.
I believe he said we didn't believe it would be possible...not just dreaming of it. Right now I think landing a human on Venus will never be possible just because of the environment. Maybe that will be proved wrong someday. Things are moving at an extremely rapid pace. The first jet engines used as a top secret venture during WW2 and seen over the skies of Germany was only about 60 years ago. Then..what...25-30 years later we land on the moon? That is impressive and I'm betting nobody would have dreamed we would have made leaps and bounds like that 100 years ago. I wanna see whats next!
Nice concept...but even being there at the controls physically it is hard to navigate close to another ship in rough seas without smashing into them. I'm not sure I would trust doing it via video or the last image may be an extreme closeup of their ship hull followed by an image of people swimming.

I called my gf a 2 bit hooker and she hit me with a bag of quarters.
snicker....nice sig in contrast to the post ;)

Hey I liked Final Fantasy. The rest I agree are crap tho.
My ex g/f was the queen of road rage. She would abuse the hell out of this and turn in everyone who was only going 5 mph over the speed limit and wouldn't get out of her way.
More like popups on my windshield saying "Airbag deployed 1 mile ahead. Traffic is now at a standstill. Click here to order Viagra while you wait."
Which makes me think it would be totally cool if they had something like this that was USB (like the jumpdrives) that could also act as a USB wireless adapter when plugged in or as a standalone detector. That would be something I would buy.
