How many bells and whistles do we need in a car to tell you, "Hey, you should be doing this! Not that!"? Lane change warnings, backup cameras and noises (understandable on trailers or Betty Homemaker's H2)and now this.
IMO, I think having all these noises happening would cause you to maybe overreact to the situation and create something worse. For example, you're just falling asleep or in a light sleep and *BLAR BLAR* you're alarm goes off, causing your head to jolt upright causing you to strain your neck. Next, your arm flies out uncontrollably to turn off the alarm, but you hit it and it flies off and hits your hand on the way down. All this while *BLAR BLAR* is still going on.
Now imagine if you're driving.
If I went to Duke and already had an iPod, I'd probably sell one of the iPod's and use the money towards books.
That brings me to my point: If the school is going to "give away" tech freebies and related to incoming freshmen, maybe they should setup some choices. Like in my example above, $250-300 for books or a hard drive upgrade or a misc. upgrade for their dorm.
Like others have stated, good luck finding non-traditional subjects in the Britannica. For example, the Britannica has nothing about the Millennium Falcon, but Wikipedia has about ten paragraphs on it. Therefore, with Wiki, someone's interests and knowledge and can be published and viewed by someone wanting to explore their knowledge on a niche subject.
Like others have said, try and password protect as much as you can. I'd say password protect your BIOS and logon. And instead of letting a screensaver activate or having none at all, lock your computer and turn the screen off. Also, lock your door when you won't be around.
But I don't have to worry about that because I commute to college:p
I think this leaves too many "unexpected" situations, like in Three's Company. Like you send a message to this service saying you're at XXX123 Place and instead of the message going to your buddies or potential date, it goes to your wife/girlfriend/mom/grandma/aunt whoever.
That's the problem, most of their userbase doesn't know that Firefox, Opera, or even some of the IE shells exist, thus the ignorance to tabbed browsing.
The whole process, from the insertion of the Windows disk into the drive, to the "fuck, I'm finally done. I need (another) drink," took nearly 4 hours due to having to constantly insert various software disks, continual reboots for software updates and driver finickyness
I assume you didn't make a backup of the software first? Also, do you have a DVD burner? Could've copied down your Program Files or related to save you the hassle.
Yeah, he owns it. It's his copyrighted work. He should have every right to change it as he sees fit. But he shouldn't have the right to revoke history in the process.
Its still his creation. Ever think he wanted to change these things twenty years ago but couldn't due to technology constraints?
What if I want to listen to a segment of a local sports talk show on AM and then switch over to my MP3's? Be handy for me with one device instead of two.

Pretty cool discovery, but I think its too much work. If you have a video you want to watch so bad portably, find a digital camera or something.
Weren't there rumors of a Google browser? All their moves of POP, and if encryption is added, can be worked into their browser somehow.
I'm glad you're /.'s resident porn industry business insider.

iPod sales are unaffected
How about in exchange for thie 100GB email space, they just give me the storage space delivered and I can use it locally? Ummkay
The gaim's website link for the Red Hat 9 rpm package results in an error. Anyone? thanks
I'll take a 24/7 Nickelodeon Classic station, HD or not. The ratings are there!
I think my floppy drive died on me yesterday and I'm debating getting a new or even a used one.

And you just gave up? Visit anyother websites? I run 0.9.3 and /. loads dandy.

Can you say, "Puppet Sex?"
No problems or performance hits here. Disabled the built-in firewall and virus scan since I maintain my own.

..for the mouse ear shaped DVD/CD trays on this one.
this database just gives the RIAA et. all more sources to use in their releases about the number of people committing piracy. Valiant effort, though.
If you go to 'Search' in Windows, now you'll be able to search MSN as well as your hard drive? How is that new?

Why are people still using IE 4.0? Yikes.
