I for one am heartbroken over this... We were always in touch, some days I even got 2 messages from him. I don't know what my inbox will be like now...
Ive known that most any system that can boot from usb was vulnerable for at least a year now. I keep DSL on my thumbdrive and need to get it onto my ipod shuffle now too.
Wait, wtf? I RTFA this, which starts off talking about the PS3's price tag, then goes into talking about some developer and a visualizer he is making for it. What does that have to do with anything? Then, the rest seems to talk about 'the 360.' Why does half of it talk about the 'the 360,' when the article is about the PS3 (By Sony, not M$).
Who say's our brain's dont work like computers? At least my first argument *proves* otherwise. Two important things here... First: My brain stupid things for no reason all the time (Like I'm running windoze). and the really important thing is that our car's arent computers. (To close windows, please press the start button... yada yada; Crashes would be daily, with at least one "Serious error" a week)
I'm no hardware guru, but I remember having alot of problems getting my mom's old palm pilot to work with a converter. The software was looking for serial, and since we converted it, it never found it. Maybe someone knows of a workaround or hack for that, but it was a pain in the butt for us...
Damn, now we just need to get these things a network connection and a plugin for Azureus, then I can download new movies before their released, watch them on my TV, and maybe if its also one of those nifty VHS/DVD combo things, burn my new movie to a disk.
I love knoppix and all, but when was the last time you popped it into someone else's computer (especialy one at work or school if your not IT/fixing it) and didn't get your head bitten off.
Hell, I still like booting school computers into knoppix when no one is looking, then taking the CD out and walking off. They FREAK out... lol
I don't get all of the attacks about this not being a "real datacenter." Sure, I wouldn't want any of my things run from his DC, but he did say that it was a government datacenter on a budget... Surely all of us have dealt with cheap government / school people at some time who refuse to put money where its needed.
Perhaps not, but when you explicitly tell them you've already tried what they're script-reading to you, yet continue to ask you to rep4eat ad nauseum the same test(s), that's a pretty good clue that they're not listening to anything you have to say. A pain in the ass, and unacceptable to me.
Last time I called my ISP for tech support, they left me on the line with some automated POS for 20 minutes. Then, after I followed all of its crap instructions, it made me wait for 20 more minutes while it was "waiting for my modem to respond." If the modem would connect to their network, do you think I would have been calling them?! As far as I am concerned, most everywhere with a "Tech support" department fails.
Instead of buying a book, trying to do your own network, buying the wrong crap that you don't need, and getting no where, pay someone from slashdot to do it. How much simpler can it get?
I am only 16 so I dont have much work experience, but it would seem to make sense that you bring a portfollio of past work (on a USB thumb drive, CD, etc) and they look at it to decide if they like your style, how well written it is, etc. I am sure you all know what a portfollio is so I wont elaborate much more, but it would seem like the best idea to me.

My bad, title was meant to read "3 broken"
Seems the filteres stripped my open bracket.

Sankai says the suit, dubbed 'Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) 5,' can let a person who can barely do an 176-pound leg press handle 397 pounds."
Wow, Now I don't do leg presses, or even know what they are... but 176 pounds sounds like alot for most old people.

WTF did I miss?
Yup... Checked my gmail and sure enough, there it is.
Two cheers for irony.

Umbrella corperation has sealed off racoon city...
It took federal courts to determine that they "ignored phone calls..." I'm glad to see tax dollars being put to such good use.

Does anyone even go to these things? I don't see myself flying half way around the world for it... What's the point?

I got mine for 30$ for a 10$ rebate, but a week later Cosco had a 256 for 40$... :(

Ya,.. heard about that problem. To fix it why don't you smash your computer over your knee and then take it 50 miles into open ocean and toss it in.
