    PETA would eviscerate you. Might be able to get away with insects though, and an insect is harder to shoot.

    May I suggest the Rio Karma?

    I can't afford one of those hip mini-fridges, but I have a fan in my dorm room! I'm so building one of these. Expecially with the non winter months. I can't just put stuff in the windowsill.

    Funny, last time I checked, CD-Rs could only be written once, yet they work fine for permanent storage.

    We don't seem to be having any problems using 2 bytes to represent unicode. Why double the stoarge needed for everything?

    We at RIT don't have sex, you insensitive clod!

    Actually, its whatever the timeout is set to. In fact, you can request a lease time, and as long as nothing says the DHCP server isn't allowed to give it to you, you'll get it.

  9. Re:Massachusetts Information Technology Division on Massachusetts Builds Open-Source Public Repository · · Score: 1

    That might be intended as a joke, but nix the conquering the world part and I think its a good idea.
    Or at least something like a Geek PAC.

    I beleive that is a play upon this.

  11. Re:Who actually pays? on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Academic Alliance is free here, but you can't download any of it using linux. I had to go next door to get someone to download and send me my win2k iso to install on vmware.

    No. theres no goatse.cx thanks to Rhonda Clarke.

    Portage downloads the rpm, pulls the content out and puts the pieces where they need to go.

    No, writers are actually pretty expensive. I would imagine that its partly technical, partly "because we can" in regards to the pricing.

  15. Re:Bluetooth on An Introduction To Wireless USB (WUSB) · · Score: 1

    None, however I understood the common consensus to be that Bluetooth has neither lived up to its billing, nor gained widespread acceptance amongst consumers compared to other wireless technologies, whose purpose is admittedly different. I would catagorize this as a failure, expecially when, if I remember correctly, the point was for bluetooth to become the standard for connecting practically everything not needing a large amount of bandwidth. I don't belive this to be a matter of technical inferiority, but rather, that consumers simply don't want it. Now, if I'm wrong, it makes perfect sense to introduce a better standard and to push that, but if I'm correct, then a competing standard will only serve to fragment an already struggling market, leading to even lower consumer adoption.

    Though I suppose every negative comment is a troll, so go ahead and ignore me

  16. Bluetooth on An Introduction To Wireless USB (WUSB) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Isn't this what bluetooth tried to do and failed at? I mean, I like the idea and everything, but why do we need multiple standards that perform the same function?

    The complete text can also be read here with no problems.

    There must be a law that says people only mirror or post the text of articles on sites that aren't being slashdotted.

    guns can be used in a responsible manner, however. For instance, filling an intruder with lead. You don't need the evidence to go away because the law is in your favor. Something thats designed solely as an assasination device lacks the moral neutrality of normal guns.
