When people hear the term "Hacker" the public often associates it when computer geeks/nerds that wish to do harm. While it's really sad to see this word bastardized, I find that most enthusiasts are hackers regardless of their craft.
Case in point. If you really want to see a hacker that covers a broad spectrum of science, mathematics, and physics...look no further then your modern day performance auto tuner. Not only will you see them physically modify the engine, but often they will reprogram the computer to reflect the physical changes made.
That's why it's called "jackpot justice". Just pick a lawer, and a topic and let him spin the wheel. If your lucky, you will cash in on millions at the expense of the rest of society.
Islam is about world domination. No, really, it *IS* that simple. Unless you practice it's faith, you are by default (as written in the Koran) an enemy Allah and must be killed. Death is your only atonement in his eyes. Hence you are an infidel!
And FYI. Islam comes from the root word of Aslama which translate to "to surrender, resign oneself" in arabic. In other words, you don't live your life for yourself. You live your live for the sole purpose to be directed and guided by Allah. In return for your unbridled loyalty, you are promised salvation.
Fact is, we are fighting a WW4 - the holy wars (WW3 was the cold war). Survive, or submit. You have no other options!!!
A lot of people are that have bough HDTV sets. It's bad enough that people have to worry about Coax, S-Video, Composite, Component, DVI, and HDMI, 16:9, 4:3, LCD, Plasma, Projection, CRT, HDTV Ready, HDTV Compatible, Cable card, Cable box, Dish box.....and a lot I'm sure I left out.
Momentum is just now starting to that people are dropping down the cash to purchase a new HDTV that will run a fortune ($800 to 15k). But to *then* tell these customers their new set wont be compatible with the format will not only piss off early adopters, but reaffirm the publics natural reason to hold of on new technology because of the obsolescence issue. End the end, you just rebuff the catch 22. People wont purchase HDTV untill there is a standard. The stations won't spend the money on HDTV broadcasting equipment untill there is a large enough home install base.
Do that, and you run the risk of the entire medical industry collapsing out of fear. In the end, you get more people that die from LACK of medicine then you do from the cure itself.
Rememeber, there is a reason doctors call it "Practice" Even though it's a science, it's not a 100% guarantee nor will it ever be.
Considering a woman just won *jackpot justice* for 253 MILLION!!! Ya, like that wont be passed on to the consumer... And if your face isn't still turning red yet, maybe this quote from the maggot will.
"Justice is a beautiful thing, isn't it?" Lanier told reporters following the verdict.
Wars have been fought for far less issues. It will be Islamic terrorism around the world and the skermishes for the last remains of oil that will push us all into WW III.
This is such a no-brainer it should be modderated "Obvious"
Well I must admit, I've had issues with my front USB connections on my case. At first I thought it was my board, but further investigation tells me that it too is rated for 500ma. I also checked the the pinout and it's correct. Problem with connecting external drives seems to be random though when using this connection on the case. I can only imagine it to be cross-talk or something to that effect on the USB wire going from the motherboard to the case. Other then that, I dunno.
As for dell PCs built a year ago (when I used to work for Dell referbishing PCs and laptops on the factory floor), I've seen most Dell PCs have a custom ribbon cable that goes from the motherboard to a PCB board mounted with external USB slots. Interestingly though, they contain one capacitor. I'm not sure how the newer Dells are built, but if they are the same, maybe that custom ribbon cable is also having issues of cross talk.
Speaking of corrections, one of those equations is missing a bracket...over there on the lower right. Even if it doesn't, you can never have too many brackets.:P
And yes, I'm just joking at the fact that I have no f-ing clue what I'm even remotely looking at. I'm curious to know if others on slashdot can make heads or tails out of it.
Don't believe me? Try running your external hard drives off the front USB connections.
While running a mouse, camara, webcam, or any other low power device works and yet a flash drive or external printer or hard drive wont is because of limited power. All USB ports in the back of a PC mounted on the board will be rated for 500ma. However, some external USB ports that connect to the front of a PC case may only be rate for 100ma. As such, you would need a USB hub with AC adapter to provide the extra power needed.
The other problem can be caused by the incorrect wiring of the external USB header to the pins mounted on the motherboard. Because the pin layout is NOT universal among board manufactures, you will need to check the documentation and verified the correct voltage and ground orientation for the cables that are to be mounted.
I would like to add to this with my personal experience due to an agreement.
Normally when I rebuild my PC, I love to benchmark my PC with Futuremark and compare the resaults online for the-hell-of-it. What was so shocking was that my AOpen board was clocking my 2.8Ghz CPU with a FSB of 199.5Mhz and as such the CPU was clocking in at 2,793Mhz. Regardless, my PC managed to edge out over the top 5% as the fastest PC in it's class. Keep in mind that this is the EXACT CPU (and clock), GPU clock, memory timing, and memory ammount.
So what did I learn from this? It's not raw numbers or specs that count. It's the quality of all components in your PC that make for stable and fast system.
So? What's wrong with that? As an American, I LIKE having a a bigger penis. I mean, seriously! What guy wouldn't want to have a bigger dick. When it comes to the race of innovation, Americans love showing off our dicks. I mean...it's dick-pride.
I remember when CDs first came out (1980s). Even if the music sucked total ass, everyone wanted a shiny disk. I mean, it was just "cool".
Flash forward to today. Now I get spammed with AOL CDs in my mailbox. They are free in any market. And those CDs advertising appartments.... All that shit goes right to the trash without ever thinking twice about them.
You don't suppose in 10 years OLCD screens will be about the same do you? Cheap, anoying, and noth worth the time of day to rip them off.
Once an item has been mass produced and no longer has value by itself, it's just a stupid "object" like the worms in the very earth you walk on. In short. BIG F-ing deal if you ask me *sarcasm*
Actually, I'm curious to know if these new cards will contain a special code to access an item to add to your player inventory online. Regardless, I'm sure it's a one-time use only thing if possible.
At first I laughed too at the idea. But you know something, I thing he might be right...
The idea of "faxing" an object from one area to another via quantum entanglement is not all that far fetched as it sounds. And with a quantum computer, you could have the raw processing power to keep track of everything in transmission down the the sub-atomic particle. I mean, who knows.. Maybe all the airports in the world will be converted into teleporation terminals in 50 to 100 years. After another $20, private teleporters will be available to install in your own house.
The geo-political and science implication of such technology as as mind boggling to imagine as it was for someone in the 1950s to imagine everyone having a PC in the home!
Now that Microsoft is checking PCs for valid installation keys before you can get security updates, it won't be long before pirated installs of XP become a host for all sorts of nasty shit. And because it's pirated, they will not be able to prevent further revisions of this virus from infecting their PC and thus spreading it around perpetually.
Fuck, there goes my low ping rate for multi-player gaming due to the increase in traffic...so I would imagine.

Anytime you have a country that is...
1. Sitting on a huge f-ing reserve of oil.
2. Closing Parliament sessions with "Death to Israel"
Ya, Irans nuclear ambitions are peacefull. uhuh.
Question: How do you deal with such religious zealotry that is found in Iran?

As such, I'm in favor of Tort Reform. http://www.atra.org/
I have the official Rio 500 leather case. My Rio 500 died because the batteries leaked acid and well...you get the idea.
Anyways, I was about to throw the thing away. Unless someone wants for a modest fee, it's going up on ebay if I ever get around to it.
Wouldn't that to cause the Earth to slow down by tapping into it's kenetic energy? I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not...

Why did I put $20? I ment 20 years.
Note to self: check my head for tumors..

The well known term for this is called Infotainment. In fact, here is the Wiki link to it's very definition...

Moore's Law *will* hit the barrier. You cannot make something out matter smaller then an atom.
Next step wont be evolutionary, but revolutionary. This is when we get into quantum computing.
