As an engineer, I could not even consider a player with a built in battery. I got an iriver which uses one AA battery, and 4 Energizer AA rechargables. I just went on a 17 day trip to europe and took trains until I could puke, and did not run out of power. If I had, I would have popped in a regular AA which would last for 40 hours. Not to mention I've had the player and these batteries over 2 years already, and I use it everyday. Hint hint, I control the charging. I go from dead to full not up and down as I plug it in to my USB--how lame.
Same for digital cameras. Buy the ones that use CRV3 litium ion rechargables. If it dies on you, it is the same size as 2 AA batteries, so you have an awesum backup. I found that with the screen on, a pair of NiMH AA recharables last about 2 days, but the CRV3's last about 2 months. No really. Pentax all the way.
CRV3 ROCKS! Got mine and a charger from Radio Shack.
What we are seeing is evolution. People who ipod in public aren't mating as much and thus they are dying out. For example, I can sit at my son's soccer game with my headphones, alone and isolated, or I can chat with the other parents and have a social life... even go to parties! In a simular vien, I can sit in the car while they get out of school or I can go out and wait with the pretty moms some of whom may be single. *GONG*
Hint hint, if a female faces you, or faces directly away from you, then she may want your attention.
Have a separate domain for the blind. Such as www.target.blind or something politically correct? Then the.com site can be pretty, and the.blind site can be read in lynx.
HP changed when Windows XP became stable, Pentiums became fast, memory got cheap and nvidia made the geforce. At my office we switched from using $40,000 HP risk computers to $6000 PCs almost overnight. About that time, my impression of HP's same-day-solution phone support went from outstanding to lame. For example, they used to keep spares of all our stuff in Winnipeg to ensure they could do same day service. Then they started shipping it from Toronto next day instead and making excuses to get me to allow them to not do same-day even though we paid for it.
HP is a technology company, you better believe the have the most sophisticated spy technology"
HEY, I just thought of something, if HP is run by a criminal, then how can we trust their computers, network gear and periferials? What is to prevent Dunn from making sure that the computers bought by a newspaper don't contain extra chips to encrypt and call home? Oh my god, time to get out the screw drivers. I can't imagine buying HP equipment for corporate usage after this! Who is to say how low they will stoop, or have already stooped.
At the very least, I can see her allowing the government to build a secret room like AT&T. For example, HP engineers design a system. Then the design is prototyped and sent away for "testing". The design comes back 1% different, no one notices since it is done by a cold-war-superpower, and voila... I'm sure power-line networking will never come because it is already being done, on us, behind our backs.
It has already happened for many Canadians. I for one don't want to roll the gitmo bay dice and get abducted by mistake. It is easy to travel around the states.
If you think linux has a learning curve, why don't you install Ubuntu and then click Applications, Add/Remove. Huh? Everything you need is there for you to select and enjoy.
I passed a group of segways on a tour along the river in Winnipeg today on my bike. I was amazed how slow and shakey they were. Not only that, but you don't get to sit down. LOL!
Come you losers. Get wide screen TV's already. I don't even have a job and I have a 32" flat panel. At first my wife is like "you don't watch our 12 year old 23" TV why do we need a new one". And I am like, "I don't watch it because it is crap and the high pitched buzzing hurts my ears". Guess what, the new one gets watched more, movies fit the screen and as a bonus, several of our scrambled channels are decoded by the tuner.
Why watch crap? That is what SD is. PS: get a HD TV that can scale SD to HD properly or you will not be happy. I had to return a $1500 LCD and get a $3500 one as I realized that the video processor is the most important part.
What, you mean like the speed limiter on my car fitted as standard, which lets me pick any speed I like and will throttle off when I reach it?
They've been around for more than a few years now - go buy a better car:-P
Yes exactly like that. Thank you for the link. My 2004 mpv and 2002 accord don't have that. I had a Peugeot bicycle once. I know my wife wouldn't sign off on one now though as she grew up in the 70's or 80's with one as a family car. She said they were always driving in to the city to drop the car at the dealership.;-)
Slashdot Mirror
step 1, try finding games that are more your style
step 2, play them
For example, Warcraft 3 in multiplayer mode. (not World of Warcraft!!) Try the free demo from Blizzard. You can have a whole game in an hour or two.
Or else, if first person killing is your thing, try playing them online. You will wonder how you were such a square not to try multiplayer.
May I suggest you visit a medical store? Get a device like those made for hospitals or old folks. Probably easier than posting to slashdot.
school shootings per capita
Troll alert. Made up statistics.
To make it safe, just in case, they should put a cement or metal container around it. Outside the event horizon somehow.

Time for a new domain. Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all night.
I know, www.target.txt
oh please oh please lets do that one!! Cool eh?
Is this a solution?

Technically, he was running the site, while he was in Housten. Maybe if he closed it while he travelled perhaps?
For me, dark matter is like religion. Made up to explain what we can't understand, and wrong.
OK, the 1540 (rhino) and 1541 are 5 1/2 " disk drives. Is there also a hardrive option I didn't know about? Did the guy have one?
He is dead you idiot. No need to get the data legally is there?

Even just having this idea on Google's backburner may contaminate the whole kitchen!
Once you click through the EULA then you will be sued for unpluging your mic.
I thought he said Cindro like a cinder, thus explaining his hair which is styled like fire.
Answering in a forum is something to do only when you know the answer. But don't dis Jordan, he did make 2 new good points.
Imagine if a pluton with a pluton was discovered! There would be fist fights at the science conferences and the two groups finally met.
