While I can't be bothered to consult The Google on this, methinks he just felt it was an opportune time to make a move on all those UNITED STATES DOLLARS he's been smelling. Granted it may not be the most profitable company as of yet, that's not to say they don't have what he considers a good plan in place now. But w/e just a web site for Christ's sake.
Pay-phone? Where do you find pay-phones these days? My daughter's brand new high school has no pay-phone anywhere on the premises. In fact, I can't remember the last pay-phone I saw. I work at a University, and there are no pay-phones in any building on campus.
You're on Slashdot yet claim to not even know where to find a pay phone. I think we can all agree your an idiot.
A 486 can play MP3s with reduced quality (not encoded quality, but playback downgrading). Pentium with full quality. Encoding times were far from realtime.
Indeed, with Winamp the main decoder component has a quality setting (Full, Half, Quarter). I believe I had to set it at Half to get acceptable playback on 486 DX.
You know it's no different than a real life situation. Say your wife drove by a gas station and your filling up and happen to run into your old girlfriend. Well a wife driving by has about the same context with which she could judge this GAPING PRIVACY HOLE as you call it.
Anybody who was watching MSNBC's Countdown around 2008-2009 know that there's a highly controlled rooms at AT&T where nearly all long distance telephone traffic flow through and while curious AT&Ters are not allowed, government agents are.
Anybody who's been reading the Telecom Informer in 2600 for years now has been aware of the scope of the governments monitoring capabilities in that sector. And I'm sure they're not the only source but I'll be damned if I let you attribute that information to an MSNBC program.
The gap is permanent. As a casual gamer I know this because once in a while when I try to play some "advanced" game I find that just learning the rules and controls takes more time than I meant to spend playing the game, so I give up and go back to a simpler game I already know. We don't all have the time to devote to "advanced gaming", you know... Even when I was a kid I didn't have that kind of time available for such frivolity. Work, work, work!
I would say it's less about time devoted to learning any particular game than it is about how quickly you can learn it.
That's not to say that skill has a entirely biological basis, for I'm sure there are common pathways in the brain that will lend themselves well to the a lot of things we encounter as well as the common concepts that tend to be found throughout all of gaming. But much like the strengthening of the connection of the two hemispheres that occurs in musicians I'm sure something similair can occur in regards to gaming so that in time and/or with a little genetic luck one might be more apt to just pick up a game and "get it".
This is neither the only recording of the broadcast, nor the best. A recording of the broadcast made by Edison's own technicians on his then-state-of-the-art 30 RPM radio transcription system was restored by Professor Mike Biel and released by Mark 56 Records three decades ago.
So I guess there is no value in having a different format and a different physical object with which to gauge the recordings against one another? There is no value in the recreation of a long dead invention of a fabled inventor? Is there no value in restoring one more part of our ever fading past?
Before someone pulls a [citation needed] on you, this can be largely corroborated by wading through Encyclopedia Dramatica. Granted, you'll be exposed to a vast amount of shock porn, racism, homophobia and petty bickering along the way, but for a site devoted to trolling and memes it is often astonishingly (and brutally) factual.
ED is one of the funniest sites on the internet. If you think your seeing racism and homophobia there anymore than exists in any group of people, you are woefully out of touch with reality.
I think it comes more from male tendencies to show off, flaunt power, and general aggressiveness that is built into us. Hell, that's generally why we LOVE fast and powerful cars, and they actually mean something to us more than they do with women, in general.
It's also dependent on the games method of networking, P2P style is all the rage as it cuts down on the amount of dedicated servers required but performance penalties tend to apply.
You're going to have to be more specific for the dummies like me. Take the United Nuclear link that has a laser but it's $30 for 30mW. The one this article is about is 1000mW. So on a per-watt basis it's 1/5th the price, which seems the better value really if what you care about is the setting things on fire part.
First of all if your interested in playing with more powerful lasers it's important you understand safety and basic laser theory.
Slashdot Mirror
$10 for a .com TLD maybe but there are plenty of substantially cheaper options.
Look it is obvious, Oracle is putting a nail in anything having to do with Solaris. Get over it, move on and start migrating.
And yet if MS was doing the same thing you'd lose your little mind.
Please win. Please win. Please win.

YouTube is supposed to be a kid-friendly place.
Good lord, that's the funniest thing I've read in a while. Thank you.
Yup soon the Texas Donk Squad will over take Sesame Street in children's programming.

Most Bible scholars believe that 666 refers to the Roman Emperor Nero.

lol.
More corporation-bashing.
Burying inconvenient/embarrassing data is something PEOPLE do.
But people, unlike corporations, have ethics and a sense of morality to guide them.
haaaaaaaaa
And information that resides on the Tor network itself never needs an exit node at all.

I don't think there is a good general electronics hobby mag anymore.
Perhaps not, but there's still Instructables.
Tom's hardware is a shadow of it's former glory.
Am I the only still buying copies of 2600?

I pity you and your shallow life.
Excuse me while I whip this out.
Be careful the RIAA might come after you?
FTFS:
He's even enlisted the help of Napster founder Shawn Fanning. I wonder if someone has told Andrey how well it went for Napster?
lolwut?

There are plenty of resources out there.
Although by value I was not necessarily referring to dollars here is a 1 watt diode currently listed at $43 bucks for a lot of 5.
You can get a lasers and related materials off of ebay, United Nuclear and Sparkfun at much better values.
