Well if it wasn't bad enough that they periodically vote to raise thier own salary to ridiculus levels, but they don't have to spend a dime of thier own money to get elected.
our gov't is feeding the public any information they can get on worldwide terror. As if folks were not scared enough, we have our own gov't trying to scare them more (it's a power thing). Anyone who isn't terrified is either A. Real depressed B. Not letting the terrorists win The chance of terrorists actually harming you or anyone you know is real slim. The chances of being innocently incarcerated by the feds (accused of being a terrorist) is way more likely at this point.
when Bush said "you're either with us or against us", did he mean 'us (you or I)' or 'them (gov't or large corp's)', cause I don't want any daisy cutters in my back yard.

you could stack and overclock those babies if you were willing to store your rack in liquid nitrogen. Even better, you could make Superconducting Plutonium Pentium V chips and run the whole thing in a liquid helium bath. If space and performance are really such problems, this is the solution. Meantime...I will stick to maxitowers with huge power supplies and redundant cooling systems. If you really want small and expensive check out the wearable systems from Xybernaut
1.2 trillion places may seem like a lot, but it is still roughly 0% of the total number. Given that Pi repeats infinitely, Kanada et al. have calculated about the same percentage of Pis total digits as my calculator uses.
It has just as many places, Pi^2 would be more useful since it might take a while to calculate it if you wanted the area of a circle. Pi^3 for the volume of a sphere. It would take weeks for me to calculate the volume of the earth to 1.2 trillion places.
Anyone can write an iterative algorithim to produce a random, non-repeating decimal number to a nearly infinite number of decimal places. In the end this number would be about as useful as Pi to 1.2 trilion places.
back when I was poor(college) I bought my first PCI card for $45. It was a trident 1Meg upgradeable to 2. It worked good for Doom. Now most of the new kit hitting the market is pure, unadulterated junk and it costs more. I fear this trend is related to the overall decline in the tech economy. I think I will hold out on my purchases until these companies find a way to put some cash back into thier R&D bugets and increase the quality of thier products. Maybe cut CEO salaries?
Targeted EMP would be more effective, although 4 or 5 well placed nukes would take out most of the electronics on the planet. Unfortunately they would probably hurt someone too.
No, really I bet 20,000/. readers are currently ordering this system so that they can be the first on thier block to crack the DRM. Talk about target audience.

Well at least it doesn't cost us much more than it would to lock them up for life.

baby.

No, geeks never get any and broadcasting personal preferences in public may get us less.

how long before we become walking talking spamvertising billboards. Computers are great, but there are times when we all need a break from the wire.

they don't want the customers to use bandwidth, it lowers margins.

You know it is true.
they already held the record. They calculated Pi to 200,000,000,000 places a few years ago.
Its not the size of n, its how you use it.
