Great topic, I concur! I've got one dedicated mining rig with two 6870's. I'm getting more than 300Mhash a card, but that's tweaks I can't talk about.:)
Listen pal, I'm talking to you as a friend here.
You need to get out and mine for some pussy instead. I realize the odds are just as bad but you never know when you run into some gal just on the edge of alcohol poisoning and you might end up with a little something... At most it'll cost you $100 (plus the antibiotics a few days later) which is a lot less than a pair of 5870s and SSD drives and all that bitmining kit.
And you never know. It's how I met my wife 21 years ago.
(Hey, I'm just kidding, hon. Having a little fun with the slashdot fellas. I realize I was the one on the verge of alcohol poisoning and you were the one trying to empty my wallet while I was passed out.)
Like others have mentioned, the Eee Pad Transformer does the same stuff, but will cost less, is not as bulky, is faster, and has better video and connectivity.
Not sure why anyone would use the Cisco when tablets like the Transformer are flooding the Market and Windows 8 will be able to leverage them to provide the same functionality at a fraction of the cost. (and I frakking HATE Microsoft...so for me to say that...well I feel a bit dirty)
I currently use mine to do damn near everything a my work PC can do. (They also make a transformer with a phone in it for normal calls or video calling)
It already works with files from MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Power Point, I can access my email with OWA, I can VPN into the network from home, I use a mouse (although I already have the Dock that has a nice touch pad included)
I RD to my desktops to do a myriad of different tasks. I use it in our conference room to run Webinars and slide presentations. Hell it even controls my home TV and streams video to/from my home network.
To me, (just MHO) the new crop of tablets are the one item that's made the biggest impact since the Cell Phone.
I challenge anyone to say that a tiny little compartment sitting on top of a gigantic tube of high combustible fuel which is intentionally ignited is actually safe!
While not a church-goer in the traditional sense, I do believe in God and I believe that killing yourself is the ultimate F-You to God so, if he does kill himself, it may as well be spectacular...
Like take part in one of the Mythbuster episodes in place of Buster.
So let's say that I spend my entire life campaigning against these guys and vote against them personally. What then? I'll tell you what: the ones with the most corporate funding still win out because they can hire people to make me look bad or insignificant and their candidate look just swell.
We're not living in a democracy, stop kidding yourself. The choice is between corporate whore A and corporate whore B.
Can we add "Rationalizing Coward" as an option for posting replies?
james.ben.hopkins@us.army.mil could refer to Army 1st Sgt. James B. Hopkins, who is the batteryâ(TM)s first sergeant for the 479th Field Artillery Brigade.
This is, however, just speculation since it's information taken from the first result of a Google search of "james b hopkins +US Army"

I have a quad core with 8GB of RAM. Let me tell you that after a cold start, Firefox starts up in SEVERAL seconds, not just one. Chrome is blazingly fast in comparison.
Plus, whenever a stupid plugin freezes, it's the whole browser that freezes. In Chrome, just the tab.
1 - Optimize your shitty computer so that your programs have the necessary resources to open quickly. FFS my Intel Atom D525 opens up FF4 in
2 - Stop using shitty plugins that aren't coded properly and you won't have frozen plugins. I've never even seen a plugin freeze freezing FF with it.
Overall, Firefox feels much more responsive and modular, where Firefox feels just monolithic.
3 - Uhm...you fail the internet.
Both consume huge amounts of memory, but that's cheap these days.

It's a whole 6400 faster!!1
to use something like a conveniently left open AP and a shared data drive, then simply claim it's not even your encrypted file?
Encrypt a large section of your hard drive that contains NO incriminating data as a distraction from where you keep the real info..

are pretty hard to overcome...
Forget your pre-conceived notions of what Duke Nukem "should" be and just play it.
That's my plan, anyway.
If I find I don't like it, then I'll move on to another game.
Afterall, it isn't like it's the first game that didn't live up to the hype...

How exactly to they expect this thing to stop?
I see this scenario playing out:
1. Guy goes too fast on hoverbike
2. Kid runs after ball, runs in front of bike, then realizes the guy is riding at least 50 ft above him, then he gets his ball
3. Bike makes no attempts to stop since it is far above the boy on the street
4. Bike passes kid harmlessly remaining upright and under control
5. Kid looks at oncoming car in horror
6. Mel Gibson runs over kid and yells, "You Abo scum will not grow up to sleep with me wife!
FIFY
. . . Joseph Rakofsky is an asshat.
OverlordQ, of Slashdot was quoted today stating that, "...Joseph Rakofsky is an asshat."
while un-named sources differed in their opinion, stating, "I think he is excellent. There a balance of posts so /. should be all right ;-0"
Personally, I have no opinion either way. His method of handling this situation, however, could lead one to the belief that he is, indeed, an asshat.
by stumbling upon an accident victim who just happened to be the author of my favorite series of romance novels.
I just took him home and hobbled him and now he writes the most wonderful stories for me. Or Else.

The issue deserves concern, but 30,000 Android users seems like a very small number to me.
Try using a larger fontsize.
Good Afternoon mallyn,

The Mandark equation:
R* = the average rate of Clubs in our galaxy
fp = the fraction of those Clubs that have Fat Chicks
ne = the average number of Fat Chicks that can potentially be lured to your car with a twinkie (Or âoemoonpieâ if youâ(TM)re from the south)
fl = the fraction of the above that actually fit in your car without busting the suspension
fi = the fraction of the above that you can get home without your room mate/friends seeing them
fc = the probability of nailing said Fat Chick without her wandering off in search of the nearest IHOP/Dennyâ(TM)s/Waffle House in a sugar-induced trance
L = the length of time for which you can bang her without room mate/friends finding out
Any number > 0 is too scary to contemplate, tbh
Drats! Foiled again!
You just blabbed out the perfect formula for story submission on /.!
We'd have kept it secret but for you meddling kids!!
