Top amount of votes was only 1690. Pretty good amount, but really I would expect more... I mean a slashdot poll had 20000 responses for the top choice!!
Yes if the computer fails it should still work. But depending on the size of the EMP, it could even short out things like the ignition coil, so then you're screwed.
It looks like 99% of the stuff related to Iraq is filtered out in robots.txt.
But not a problem, on google.com I just specify the site by saying 'Iraq site:whitehouse.gov' and it had 14,000 hits... the first one is the root of/infocus/iraq directory (which is dissallowed in robots.txt)

Not only that, but the "heatsinks" are useless. There is almost no gain of surface area, just the tiny amount that is the thickness of the metal.
The temperature is reduced because the large slabs take longer to heat up, as looking at the graphs he didn't wait for them to go steady state, he just waited an hour.
Its just you (and maybe some friends), no real pressure. Plus its an actual trek (ranges from in-city, to some caches are ones that need Scuba or moutain gear or whatever).
And with geocaching you've just got your GPS, a compass, and maybe a topographic map (if you can get one). None of this fancy cell phones with internet to tell you answers stuff;-)
Sure in the US maybe there is some problems with new regulations, but luckily the internet is distributed around the world.
So the internet between most non-US countries will still continue to be fine... and in fact I'd say it would be improved because it will have greater use if hosts move outside the US.
I had an old laptop (486 33Mhz) once, and the hard drive door on it was broken... and all that held the hard drive in was hard friction pretty much, and a little button that didn't always work.
Needless to say, a hard jab could disconnect the hard drive, and even have it fall out of the laptop.
The HD failed eventually... but after many a trips to the floor! Only hit concrete a few times, mostly hit carpet. When it failed it was just sitting there, but I guess it couldn't take the abuse:p

Its pretty cool, because you always hear about fuel cells, but almost never see a commercial application.
Hopefully once they make it smaller...
The board only uses half of the installed RAM as it shares it.
So they can claim 256 MB of RAM, even though its effectively 128 MB of RAM...

has 1100 comics not in any other collection, so even if you have all the books its still good!
Nothing new here for the /. group, but a good read for the non-technical.
Why exactly then, is it on Slashdot?

I like the rain jacket:
High voltage inverter to power EL panels + water + human body = fun!
In the comments, one of the respondents mention they looked at Linux, but only about 5% of their users (at the company) could use it easily.
Thats their biggest concern still.
I wasn't at all concerned, I looked all over them!
Then again I live in Canada....
All those *happy* employees.
Something along the lines of "Smile or get Shot" I assume...
Anyone else read the Microserf book? Same thing as the campus living and whatnot...

Pretty cool article though... I'm suprised at the amount of work that goes into one.

It would be brutal to lose all your hard work at a game, the economic loss would be unrecoverable.
