    And I assume srpms are also available? RTFSC.

  2. Re:As bluetooth headset manufacturers rake it in.. on Study Confirms Mobile Phones Distract Drivers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To make matters worse here in CA, only talking on the phone is illegal. Texting is perfectly ok - what were they thinking?

    No. Talking about my glass is showing off. :)

  5. Oh my! on Digital Photos Give Away a Camera's Make and Model · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I better sell my Nikon D300. They'll be able to trace it back to me. Or one of the other gazillion people who also bought one. Hmm... on second thought...

    Be sure and write back to let us know how it tasted.

    1. Slashdot will think that you should be able to use anything you damn well please as long as it's Open Source.

    2. Yes, especially if the people who sign you paycheck tell you that's what you have to do.

    3. Maybe. A lot depends on how well the team is managed.

    Stock up on Ensure.

    No, it means you're in junior high school.

    I haven't used any swapspace for years on my desktops, memory is so cheap now that there's no point. On my servers, of course, but then again it's 99.9% unused.

    For example, this thinkpad has 1.25GB RAM, and I've seen at most 300MB used. Then again, I don't run Vista.

    You don't run Firefox either then..

  12. Re:Fuel leaking SR-71's on F-117A Stealth Fighter Retired · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Trust me, it lacks the sphincter-puckering powqer of watching the B-52's do their bi-annual minimum interval take off.

    That looks like the end of the world.

    Except that it's significantly harder for the average person to secure a desktop computer than it is to drive a car.

    Agree. The disco era ended sometime in the late 70's / early 80's. Of course, that's before half of the /. posters were born, so it's understandable that they wouldn't know this.

    Hey! You! Get off my lawn!

    Well, be sure and let us know when Zuckerberg actually becomes a billionaire on something other than illiquid paper. I'm sure that the entire exec staff of Webvan were billionaires at one point in time too.

    So every system except the human will be doubly or triply redundant? What's wrong with this picture?
