I'm not the idiot you thought I was, I'm actually one of those "Didn't use the preview button." idiots.
He's not asking about trailers, or even thier close cousin "Manufactured Homes". (Manufacured homes are IMHO trailers without wheels.)
He's asking about prefab homes which are an entirely different thing.
I grew up in a Wausau house and it was very sturdy and well made. If I were looking for residental real estate a Wausau house would get a few bonus points.
Like any other major purchase do a lot of research on the company who is making your home.
This is one area where more often than not you get what you pay for.
But if you were the original what value do you receive from the fact that there's another person just like you?
The duplicate is not you even though it thinks it is you.
Why should anyone spend money now to insure that there will be a perfect duplicate of themselves after they die? (Yes, you could do it to provide for your loved ones but proper estate planning would be much more frugal.)
Amen. For many applications the bottleneck in a PC cluster is the interconnection bandwidth, not the power of the processors. It seems that a lot of cluster builders want to generate heat instead of results.
Download the music and send the cash directly to the artists.
In that case you haven't used any "service" of the RIAA so you don't (morally) owe them any money.
Or if you really want the CD itself check Ebay and used CD stores for the ones you want. In that case none of your money goes to the RIAA either and you've got an iron-clad legal case if they ever break down your door.
You're going at this all bass-ackwards. Put importantly labeled disks full of heavily encrypted random data in the nice locked boxes and set them out at every lead engineer's desk.
The real data will be kept in their shared Kazaa directories and named for classical and country songs.
Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft Security Wallpaper?
How is that supposed to work?
There's no moron there.
Apple allows you to burn the songs you buy at their store to audio CDs. Once you've got the CD you can rip it to get DRM free tunes.
You're right. I recall buying an old copy of Red Hat out of Officemax's bargin bucket.
Do you have a deep unwavering belief in your signature?
The same thing happened to a few copies of Windows 95 (and later on Windows 98) at some local stores.
There seems to be a common factor here. B^)

Why not?
Amazing. The old Beowulf cluster joke has become funny again.

Just compile the Linux kernel.
The parent post is great!
It's a perfect satire of the extremely rabid open source nuts. (No offence is intended against the non-rabid open source nuts..)
>It would be nice to institute some self-control before you blast low-bandwidth sites by posting direct links.
Perhaps low-bandwidth sites should avoid doing things that Slashdot is interested in. It's a self-preservation sort of thing.

We couldn't, but the original still isn't happy about being dead.
I would guess that gender bending is less common there. "UNWEAR TOGA" wouldn't have quite the same effect.
> So anyone who makes a mistake, or says something you disagree with is a troll? Haha, you must live in a small world.
A troll is simply a post designed to provoke a response. Everyone is trolling for something. All Slashdot posts are trolls.
Cars and modded computers have windows.
I don't recall the exact figure but it was less than $100.00
They didn't list the actual username either.

Yes you can. Several months ago there was an Ebay Auction for a four digit /. user number.
Needles to say (as I have a newbieish six-digit number) I didn't buy it.
>Hm, ok, it's a new slashdot low... I didn't read the article, the summary, or even the 2nd paragraph of the post I was replying to. :-)
That's not new, it's SOP around here. B^)

That's a good start.
Here's another:

There's also the fact that here in the US any deactivated cell phone must be usable to call 911. (our emergency number)
This probably means that analog is being kept around partly by legislation rather than by folks using analog phones.
