Hopefully this will improve the image of stem cell research in the public eye. While the "NO MEDDLIN' WITH GOD'S WORK" crowd probably won't have an instant change of heart, this is still a start.
The GWB is $6, you're just paying a dollar less because you have your fancy-pants EZ-Pass.
I find that gas is usually.30-.40 cheaper per gallon in NJ than here in Queens, which would be a $5.40-$7.20 savings for me. I fill my tank whenever I'm in NJ, but I never head over there just to fill my tank. Maybe if I lived in Manhattan.
I left my shitty Netgear AP open because all my computers were secure and I wanted to see if anyone would actually connect. I live in a crappy neighborhood, so I'd occasionally see a machine connected for a little while but nothing serious. One day the connection was going slow as hell. I figured with terrible Verizon DSL and a crappy Netgear router, someone was trying to download a bunch of crap. A bunch of hotmail stuff and downloading free ringtones. His machine's name in my network neighborhood was "ANTHONY WILLIAMS". I decided to secure my network. I enabled a MAC address whitelist and renamed the AP to "ANTHONY WILLIAMS SUCKS FAT COCKS". We looked him up, he lives on the other side of my block. My plan was to leave this AP named this forever so he'd always feel like a douche seeing how much of a homo he was every time he checked available wireless networks, but now I'm going to do something fun. Sometimes I really like this Slashdot place.
My first class in college, History 106/World Civ, Professor tells us to buy the books used.
His reasoning?
Since the classes don't change much, everything important is already highlighted and during the dull parts of class there are always someone else's doodles to entertain you.
I'm missing craigslist being the way it was a few years ago. It's now full of shitheads with their "Free Ipod OMG!!!!" posts, the forums are full of trolls who are nowhere near as amusing as the ones here, people flagging legitimate shit all over the place. People skipping out on paying for ads by putting them in the wrong sections. You can't even get laid on the casual encounters board anymore... Basically, craigslist used to be a place on the internet that was unlike the internet at all, and this is one step closer to it going straight to hell. I know I sound like the typical "I used craigslist back when it was underground" kind of ass, but since all this fuss has been made about it it's gotten a whole lot less usable. I wouldn't mind if someone who could help filter their bullshit posts had a minority share, but we all know there's no way ebay will be doing that.
They gave these out with GC purchases at Target last November/Early December. I was working there and snagged a few of them.
This thing is incredibly expensive

My Dell that I mentioned in a similar discussion less than a month ago seems to have better specs and to have been a couple hundred dollars cheaper. My 8600 didn't come with a godawful orange paint job looking to get scratched, but then again it didn't come with a badass aluminum briefcase either.
I will be honest with you. I don't know the exact specs on my LCD. All I know is it's a 15.4" widescreen in my Dell 8600, 128MB Radeon 9600, and I can play UT2004 without a problem at 1900x1200.
Then again, I'm not the type of person to bitch if mp3's have "degraded sound quality" in comparison to cd's. If I can hear the band and they sound good, then I'm happy. If I can see your head explode as I fire the lightning gun, then I'm happy.
I'm a college student. Even with the brightness all the way up, bluetooth and 802.11 enabled, I can still make it through the day taking notes and playing games in between classes. The battery life isn't bad at all, but I don't think that's such the big deal for the kids buying these laptops (or, more accurately in most cases, having these laptops bought for them). I think it's just easier to lug around a 12 pound laptop than it is to lug around your 21" Flat Screen CRT and Antec Mega-Tower with 30 pounds of water-cooling equipment in it. These kids aren't going out to Bryant Park to play Everquest, they're not gaming on the bus. They're bringing their computer with them to friend's houses, home to visit the parents, to the library, all places where they most likely will have easy access to 110VAC.
since you see those 'hard drive coolers' on ebay all the time, you know, the heatsink / fan combos that sit on top of the drive, i suppose you could make something to do the opposite. if my memories of the anarchist's cookbook from when i was 12 serve me well, you can make 'thermite' from rust and aluminum filings. that stuff supposedly turns molten instantly if you have something hot enough to set it ablaze. leave that in some packaging on top of the disk, and have some electronic igniter, should just melt straight through the drive.
i remember reading a story, maybe on usenet 10 years ago or in an old TAP/YIPL about some guys who made tons of blueboxes in the late 70's, for some gambling ring. it mentioned that they had thermite self-destruction thingers built in.

where can I obtain a copy of this glorious server operating system of the future?
All "LOL 20 MORE YEARZ" jokes aside, I really think if there's anyone out there who can get this done, it's the fucking geniuses at Sandia. Seriously.

You obviously don't watch enough 24.
