Life itself is bound by the rule. The rule is, "Survival of the fittest". In this time of technology, the fittest are those with strong intellect. Those with strong intellect are, in many cases, classified into a group generally known as the Nerd.
As it stands, though I have no official numbers on this, I am forced to make the assumtion that approximatly three fifths of the population in highly developed parts of the world, (e.g. Japan, United States, U.K.) are, in fact nerds.
"Only the nerds survive"
What about we INCREASE spending on both military and social programs and just enlarge the national debt? That way, everyone's happy, and we can declare bankruptsy or get our grandkids (hey, they'll be rich, right?) to deal with the issue in 50 years time - by which time I hope to be long gone.
ie wouldn't work because of the plugin patent infringment thing. And even if it did, I could see some new "Disneyland" exploit being found or you being forced to install some "Disneyland IE Toolbar" spyware program.
I wonder what would happen if Disneyland was Slashdotted while people were on the ride?

Faster transistors would enable the creation of faster computers and video games, more flexible and secure wireless communications systems, and more rapid analog-to-digital conversion for use in radar and other electronic combat systems.
You could also just double the number of DACs in the system. The system would work a bit like this:
1. Lets assume, for this example, that the DAC's resolution is 1 MHz. But you need 2 MHZ of resolution.
2. Get two DACs and send the same analog signal to both. Set the DACs to both sample, but only one at a time.
3. According to my math, each DAC will be sampling 10,000 times per second or 0.0001 or a second for each sample. DAC 1 will take a sample, then DAC will take another sample 0.00005 of a second latter, followed by DAC 1 again another 0.00005 of a second later and so on. In other words, multitask the sampling across two DACs. This can be expanded to use as many DACs as needed to get whatever resolution needed, all without have to spend millions of dollars developing a 500 GHz transister.
4. Profit!!!
You don't need faster transisters, just more of them.
I've tried many methods of screening telemarketing calls, but the tried and true method is prevention. Why screen if they don't call?

The Print Screen/SysRq key was used in Dos to send the current screen of text directly to lpt1: (your printer), hence the name "Print Screen". In Windows (all the way back to Windows 3.x), Print Screen executes a screen capture (without the mouse cursor) and puts it on the clipboard. Alt+PrintScreen copies just the current window.
In addition to what was said in the article about Pause/Break, pressing it _during_ a dir or other scrolling text operation will halt the screen. (This includes during booting before the OS loads.) Press any key to continue.
As for the `/~ key? Still haven't found a useful function for it other than typing a ` or a ~.
And the |? That one serves just about the same purpose to me as the "Context Menu" button on many newer keyboards, which is to say, none.

Anybody remember SubSeven 2.1 for Windows 98? (Probably not, everybody here uses Linux)
Anyway, for those of you who don't know, this program was classified as a virus by many virus scanners as it was originally designed for malicious intent. I found, however, that it was basically a free version of PCAnywhere. I specifically had it installed in several of the machines at work so I could easily do system maintanance. I had quite a few, often unhelpful, co-workers who refused to let me at their machines to update something or another.
Only problem was that SubSeven server will not run under Windows 2000, and I found that out after installing Windows 2000 on all of the machines.
I recently bought a UBS 2.0 Mouse and I just realized the plug doesn't fit any of my IEEE 1394 ports.

The Federal Trade Commission requires, among other things that advertiser cannot misrepresent the product advertised.

My prediction is that 90% of the posts will be smarmy comments about Gates "640k" comment.
Ah yes, yet another computing prediction that never happened. (As of this writing, there are only two other posts that contain the string "640k")

Sorting through a pile of junk to get the stuff you're looking for.
that's exactly the situation in my bedroom
I can do more evil. Get the number from a WHOIS lookup of the DNS the spam originated from. That's where you send the 200+ page fax.
just put the spammer's email address on /.'s front page in big bold letters that say "CLICK HERE!!!"
that's it, we'll slashdot the spammers
