I don't have it in front of me, nor do I have a link, but here it goes:
Dilbert: Studies show that putting criminals in jail doesn't reduce crime.
Dogbert: So, you're saying that when bad guys go to jail, good guys start doing crime to bring up the average?
Dilbert: Statistics don't Lie, Dogbert.
Dogbert: Unless bad statistics when to jail, then the others would lie...
Yeah, it's pathedic, I know...
This only happened once, but I swear it's true:
A telemarketer called once and my dad answered the phone (this was before caller ID) he happened to be armed at the time... When he realized what he was talking to he walked outside, screamed "OH MY GOD!!!" fired two shots into the ground and slammed the phone onto the picnic table! When he picked it up the telemarketer had hung up. However, we have recieved calls from the organization since... Go figure.
..can't be as cool as this. Anyone know anything about this render? Looks great too me, all wireless controlers, a port in the front for GBA games, USB... Not bad at all...
I'm thinking of it another way, use the centralized vacumming system to suck all the hot air out of your computer, that would be a powerful cooling setup, probably pretty noisy though.
If you want it cheap and cool it won't be fast.
If you want it cheap and quiet it won't be cool.
If you want it cool and quiet it won't be cheap.
If you want it cheap, quiet and cool you're pretty much screwed, but these guys are willing to take your money anyway.
Cargo carrying and fire fighting?

I can see little unmanned craft flying around doing "chores" but carrying cargo and fighting fires? I think planes need a pilot for that.
Someone new just started where I work, the first thing she said when she say her new computer was proclaim, "Everything's too small!" and changed the resolution on her shiny new 21" Trinitron from a beautiful 2048x1536 at 85Hz to a pathedic 640x480 saying, "There, that's much better." I offered to adjust the image on the screen to fill the entire monitor but she refused, content to have half her start button off the screen and a one inch margin of black on the right side. I think I'm going to cry...
ATI is in REALLY good shape right now. As far as their drivers go, they're really getting much better. ATI will have had the performance crown for 6 months or so by the time the FX comes out, by that time they'll have a card based on the R350 core that should at least equal the FX, and come June or July the completely new R400 core based cards should be around, more than likely beating Nvidia's next big thing by a long time. Nvidia is a hype machine, but they're not delivering, they dropped the ball big time by not getting the FX out at least by Christmas. And I bet if you took the dustbuster off the top of the FX and ran in at clock speeds that normal cooling can facilitate it would be on par with the 9700. And top performance means nothing anyway, it's what, like less that 5% of the market? ATI currently has the fastest mobile chipset, pocket chipset, value chipset, and their mainboard chipset is for the P4, not the Athlon like Nvidia, who do you think is in a better market position? They've basically got Nividia beat everywhere right now (as far as stuff already on the market goes) they seem pretty serious about being the one to beat themselves.

Yeah, my dad, two uncles and grandfather have all bought it since this started up...
I can see it now... "OMG! He's running his Athlon XP 3200 on a 333Mhz FSB, the horror!!!" The kid wouldn't last a week...
Just reading the site, minding my own, and then WAM! Cannot connect to server, check /., yep, it's the top story... Grrr...

Wow, somebody just watched Bowling for Columbine for the first time...
I think you just did...
Come again? I don't have the capacitor for understanding nerds puns... Thank you Scott Adams!
People do that! I've seen ads for APC in aquarium mags. Dude, I'm really sorry about your fish, as a fellow fish lover you have my sympathy.
I got a pop-up for Carrot Ink. :)

Don't get me wrong, the game will rock, but the cover art stinks...
Yeah, but it'd be worth it to frag someone from 35,000 feet!

...they both end with X after all.
Have you seen the thing? I don't think it's going to be very fun to play...
A chance to have FP on a story like that and nothing to say, ahhh! *insert witty comment about drivers with cell phone porn here*

I'm not sure I agree, I kinda like watching those biodegradable packing peanuts disintegrate in water.
I'm reading /. ...but I'm supposed to be writing firewall scripts for $10.60 an hour...
Lets take that moon into earth orbit, it could be fun.
I all but stopped watching The Screen Savers when Kate left. No just because she left either, it really went downhill from there...
