Hey timothy, sweet question! I grew up model railroading in HO! I inherited my dad's post-war Lionel collection which is pretty sweet. I currently live in a small apartment in the city so no layout but I have experience since I could talk. I agree with what others have said: clubs, magazines. Also, train shows are great to learn and talk to people. Clubs always show up with a layout and they're great to get ideas from and ask questions. It's an awesome hobby where you go at a slow pace but after time come out with something pretty amazing that evolves as you do. Good luck!
It's because T-Mobile offers rediculous plans. Their image sucks. I don't know anyone on it whereas most of my cotacts use Sprint and I have free Sprint-to-Sprint. I mean, T-Mobile was the last company to get a cool phone. It was a win-by-default. Boring.
I would consider it if it were on ANY other network but T-Mobile. Wait... nor Alltel. How about a real phone company, Google? Maybe make a free network? Haha, with Google chiming in for buzzwords spoken during coversations with ads to terrible places to eat.
oh, I don't play modern games, I'm as old as you actually. I just got an n64, I have Starfox, Dr. Mario, and Super Mario 64. Pretty sweet.
But yea, short-sighted people suck.
Gimme a break. I wrote hundreds of papers to get my BA and these ivy league rejects waste ink and paper recreating a game no one plays anymore except dorks that think being retro is cool still? Whoever slashdotted this should think more about the promotion of stupid crap. Don't endorse this. This is garbage.
Oh and for all the smart alecks, I submitted most of my papers electronically.
This has actually already been invented but not lasted because of multiple reasons. Maybe vaporware, maybe not but the waiting game is still a factor for them too. Good luck though. I have a lot of wires that I don't like to plug in all this electronic crap that gives me tumors.
Back when the market was down and I had to succumb to a techie job a guy brought in a laptop he had fallen asleep with while watching a movie in bed. THe comforter fell over it and it overheated, to say the least It was completely warped, the keyboard was curled up out of the base, and everything had that runny, smelly plastic sense to it. Odd thing was, only a few components went bad. He didn't want it thought because of it's appearance and he's rich.
everyone can make stupid names like Dellienwarel and the like but to me, if Alienware wanted a parent company, Dell would be the first I would pick. They're the only mass-makers that my institution hasn't regretted buying from. Low maintenance, I think about 1 out of 100 are shipped with something wrong with them.
I won an Alienware in a gaming tournament. It wasn't better than my current rig but it was nice. I unpackaged it to take pictures for ebay and I was very impressed with it overall. Dell takes the same care for each computer even though they sell for much lower.
This *should* lower Alienware's prices due to supply costs being cut. If so, this will put one hell of an edge on the market for them.
I think of Dailmer-Chrystler, now that they merged European cars have boommed all over the nation. Same thing's going to happen with Alienware.
My question is, is XPS going to compete with Alienware in good manner?
I feel like recently the ask slashdot questions have served more of a purpose as a free focus group than as a truely legitimate and thought-provoking question.
So I say dang to this post! I will not offer free help! Build your website elsewhere! Some of us are starving dot commers from the 90's and our ideas cost money!
not even good titles! come on piraters! who's going to download that crap and spread your name around the globe! think about it!
and on a side note, people are wondering why we go after these people and not rapists, and the answer is money.
There's no revenue in catching a killer. Only spending to keep him in prison.
But the fines associated with piracy are immense.
ugh, I hate marketers too. I currently am attending grad school at a university with a strong marketing program.... they're all idiots. I can't believe it's a college degree. It's like realty.
What's the difference between running a heavy guage wire and cat5 to the speaker? Did anyone catch that not only do you have to buy the NIC separate, but also the power adapter (which MSRP is $800). This seems a bit of a novelty. And now I'm sure we're going to get hacking jokes, so insert them now!
actually yea, I soundproofed my old case with mats that i use for my studio. I used rubber gaskets to mount the drives which really cut sound by a ton. That way the whole case doesn't vibrate when the disks spin. As for fans, there's the PSU fan and I put a vantec stealth in the back (and the celeron is passive, has a duct over it from the back case fan). The computer sits behind the TV and everything so it's not even seen. Then I have my ATI Remote Wonder so that only the IR reciever is visible. Works pretty well...
a great way to build something like a Tivo for cheap is to salvage parts. I got my hands on (for free) a 300mhz celeron and 200 gigs of SCSI drives (5x40). All I had to buy was the tuner card. which was $60 I think. I built my server this way too. If you ever have a friend say they're going to throw away their old machine, gank it and strip it!
Two stories on here both from Hexus. Haha. What was the poster thinking?! He wanted hits but now the site is down!
Crossfire will never work because who would buy a slave card... If you're primary card fails, you're out 2 cards! Ain't that some stuff!
Oh, and I was an ATI man myself for years. Started before Radeon, now I have a 7800GT and I will never go back... unless they offer me some kind of deal, and buy SLI rights.
I'm sure even though the RIAA has nothing to do with this, they would find a way to sue a 12 year old girl who would take a screenie of the compile process and use it as a desktop background.
but very very interesting article.
compiling any 3d mapfile takes forever:( part of life. speed kills.
ah... this reminds me of my best friends favorite joke:
what's the hardest part of a vegitable to eat?
the wheelchair!
but seriously, how are they supposed to hold the gameboy while they play it?
And does the controller come in different flavors?
What's the demographic of IT nerds that would find this article useful? How do you patch switches with no arms? Ah.. at least they'll have some fun. I think it's sweet.
Take him to a kegger!!!
I barely left my room before I went to house parties. Now I can't get enough of them. I just pick out a nice spot and chill there and talk to people. It's nice.
have you ever gone to see Stomp? HBO did a special on them but it's nothing like seeing them on stage. Seeing that scene with the Stomp-like music made me feel like I was watching a malt-beverage commercial. I wanna know why only good looking people get saved from the matrix. Those dancers were fine-azz hunnies.
I think you're trying to hinder everyone's right to opinion. Just because you want to sound smart and pound jargin into our heads like we're drones milling around having anonymous sex doesn't mean you're some savior to show us the light. Let us talk, you don't have to listen.
I think some people went to this movie thinking it would make them realize much more out of life than is expected, much like the first. But if you read any modern philosophy (Berkeley, Hume, Kant, etc) you would already have answered the questions the first movie brought up. Now in reloaded the Wachowski brothers just surfaced more of the same philosophers original works. Causality, purpose, yada yada, that was all dealt with in the new movie; in the first it was epistemology.
I went into this movie only for the action shots. On the other hand I did enjoy the brief breaks like the "rave". Coulda done without so much of Reeve's skin and a little more of Moss's, which I've dubbed Trinititty:)
Anyways, goto the movie only expecting awsome effects. The philosophy's still there but much more subtle. Being that Revolutions was filmed at the same time I doubt it will be any different than this one.
On a side note, Enter the Matrix looks like a fun game. I'll rent before buying it.

it's better than the US saying at least 80% of the news must be a tragedy involving at least 100 civilians' lives.

I see no steps. this is 3 minutes of a tour of fedora. I know how to use it! Show me how to load it on a ps3.
and furthermore batman, what driver compatibility is there? oh, none? well then, pretty useless for the time being? or what?
see all these questions are being asked because none are answered in the googletube! c'mon man! don't let us hang like this!

I mean come on, a dang surf board?

Take him to a kegger!!! I barely left my room before I went to house parties. Now I can't get enough of them. I just pick out a nice spot and chill there and talk to people. It's nice.
point being how much can we know? that's exactly what they dealt with... The W. Bros just reinvented it in a medium mass culture can understand ;)
