    The only time an attack by a foreign power was ever carried out on U.S. soil was Pearl Harbour.

    Maybe you forgot that the United States was invaded by Great Britian in 1812? The Aleutian Islands were invaded in june of 1942.

    I am interested in which aggregators you think are the worst offenders. the only true solution to the bandwidth problem, even with well behaved aggregators, is moving away from a polling framework. Syndication should be pubsub event based to solve the problem. Q.E.D.

    Living in Las Vegas, I would love a high speed rail to LA. It is all desert, plenty of room for a right of way! I'm sure the casino's would love getting people from LA to the city in an hour as well!

    There is also a hilarious cgi version of this sketch, perhaps someone can post a link!

    (DM) Utena- Galstat, you have entered the door to the north. You are now standing by yourself in a dark room. The pungent stench of mildew eminates from the wet dungeon walls.
    Juri- Where are the Cheetos?
    Utena- They're right next to you!
    (Galstat) Anthy- I cast a spell!
    Juri- Where's the Mountain Dew?
    Utena- It's in the fridge, duh!
    Anthy- I wanna cast a spell!
    Juri- Can I have a Mountain Dew?
    Utena- Yes, you can have a Mountain Dew, just go get it!
    Anthy- I can cast any of these, on the list, right?
    Utena- Yes, any of the first level ones.
    Juri- I'm gonna get a soda, anybody want one? Hey, Grem I'm not in the room, right?
    Utena- What room?
    Anthy- I wanna cast magic missle!
    Juri- The room where he's casting all these spells from!
    Utena- he hasn't cast anything yet!
    Anthy- I am, though, if you'd listen...I'm casting magic missle!
    Utena- Why are you casting magic missle? There's nothing to attack here!
    Anthy- I'm attacking the darkness!
    (Laughter)
    Utena- Fine, fine. You attack the darkness. There's an elf in front of you.
    Anthy- Whoa!
    Utena- Yeah, you guys can talk to eachother if you want.
    Anthy- Hello, I am Galstat, sorcerer of light!
    Elf (Nanami)- Then how come you had to cast magic missile?
    (Laughter)
    Utena- You guys are being attacked.
    Juri- Do I see that happening?
    Utena- No, you're outside, by the tavern.
    Juri- Cool! I get drunk!
    Utena- There are seven ogres surrounding you.
    Elf (Nanami)- How could they surround us? I had Morton Kiden's magical watchdog cast!
    Juri- I'm getting drunk! Are there any girls there?
    Utena- No, you didn't.
    Elf (Nanami)- I totally did! You asked me if I wanted any equipment before this adventure and I said no, but I need material components for all my spells, so I cast Morton Kiden's faithful watchdog.
    Utena- But you never actually cast it!
    Juri- Roll the dice to see if I'm getting drunk!
    Utena- (dice rolling) Yeah, you are!
    Juri- Are there any girls there?
    Utena- Yeah!
    Elf (Nanami)- I did, though, I completely said when you asked me...
    Utena- No, you didn't! You didn't actually say that you were casting the spell, so now there's ogres, okay?
    Juri- Ogres?! Man, I got an ogre-slaying knife that's got a +9 against ogres!
    Utena- You're not there, you're getting drunk!
    Juri- Okay, but if there's any girls there, I want to DO them!

  11. This was an easy Ask Slashdot! on Need... More... Power... · · Score: 3, Funny
    My question to you (renters/dorm-room dwellers) is does your dorm room or apartment have enough outlets, whether it be electrical, cable, telephone, or anything else you may need?

    Of Course not! I'm a geek :O)

    What do you do in a situation like this? Do you load up each socket with a 10+ port power strip (or battery backup as it may be) and pray that you don't knock-out the circuit everytime you start burning a CD?

    yes, of course!

    Dorm rooms and small apartments don't lend themselves to large power generators. Maybe you can get a excercise bike and hook up a line! :)

    Promoting kazaa for legitimate purposes is the right idea, it is a tool. for example ftp can be used for internet piracy as well, it is just another tool.

    On a shared server where php is compiled as mod_php all users would share the same version. The solution is to also compile different versions of php as a cgi, then it is up to the user to choose which version to use.

  16. Re:CAT5? on Gibson to Embed Guitars with Ethernet · · Score: 1

    There are two main problems:

    First there is the power supply question. You have to power that wireless card and you are trying to eliminate the cable.

    Second, gigabit ethernet is a lot faster than today's wireless ethernet.

    The main point is that using digital as opposed to analog will allow control of amps and effects from the guitar, and give each instrument a unique id for the guy in the mixing booth.

    Easier interaction, not cable size.
