The post should have said "a gyroscope" instead of "the gyroscope" originally posted. Now it looks like they've edited the original story to reflect that. I did read the story, I couldn't care less about being logged in, and there's no reference because it wasn't a verbatum copy. I was paraphrasing somewhat.
I just made a stupid mistake. I'd rather take credit for being an idiot than have people think I was fearmongering on purpose. Please read reply to parent.
I wasn't aware of this milestone for gay equality, and it definitely should have been more widely reported, but the two stories really only loosely related. Every story about the space station doesn't need to also bring up the issue, it should be an issue in itself. Why don't you post that as a story?
I wanted to bring the story to the Slashdot community's attention, and I'm no professional writer or journalist, so I copied the story summary off a news site. I hate sensational journalism as much as anyone, if I could change the post, I would. If I ever decide to post anything else, I'll be more careful. My apologies.
I thought it was an important enough story to post because I'm concerned for the humans involved. The crew is in no danger now, but it's another reminder that space travel is not yet ready for prime time. As much as I'd like to see us go to Mars and make recreational space travel available to the public, we really ought to master the circuit breaker first.
Why post this as an "Internet speed record" when obviously this is not the same thing as an Internet2 speed record. I'm much less impressed with the speed of some semi-private network that most of us will never have anything to do with. Speed up the Internet for the rest of us, and you'll have story.
I've had the same problem, having been a high speed typist since about age 10, and the problem has completely subsided for the last few years since I started mousing with my left hand most of the time.
Wouldn't this make more sense under the Developers section? Aside from the hardware, which is essentially a display, processor, and I/O, this has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of gaming.
Hopefully you'll be able to turn it off in the BIOS, like the processor serial number feature that never seemed to catch on. If not, another equally trivial workaround will be developed soon enough.
As a kid I spent quite a while playing this game, had come to know and like this character, and when I found out the hero was female I thought, "Cool, that's unique. I don't see why the ass kicking protagonist/can't/ be a woman." Ever since then, any instance of female action heros has never struck me as being out of the ordinary. I think if anything, it in some way helped break down the gender wall. At least for some of us.
With the tiny micro ATX computers available today, you could have two or three machines and a keyboard/video/monitor switch in the space of a standard desktop case. Then you really/can/ run all the OSes you need to, without them comingling. Now that I'm used to having 4 PCs with different OSes handy (FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris x86, Windows), I couldn't imagine running only one computer. What happens when one of them goes down, anyway? It's nice to have backups.
Someone supposedly calling from "Royal Oil" in Nigeria wanted to order 200 40GB hard drives, by credit card. We told them we only ship overseas if payment is made by wire transfer. Another hint was that it's unlikely an oil company would resort to using a yahoo email address (royaliol@). They called back several times, but we obviously wouldn't budge.
The most annoying part was the amount of time it took to complete the calls. I can't be rude to a/possibly/ legitimate caller by hanging up, but the translation process takes a while... especially when they're probably on several calls and don't get back to the terminal by the time it's their turn to talk.
that other vendors don't also. The two aren't mutually exclusive, and this event does absolutely nothing to prove that other vendors are any more trustworthy than they are. Possibly the other vendors are just quieter about the issue.

Why don't you just run Windows?
I've found that ftp.sunet.se does, however.

for NES. It's your turn to go wind up the gyro, we're tumbling out of control again.
Rotating ojbects definitely /can/ affect time and space, as proven by this amazing example.

Without restating the original article?

It's about as relevant as posting, "Honeywell has released a new embedded system to monitor A/C cooling tower status" in the Games area.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned them yet, they have a great line of products.

The question was what software can be used to track filesystem and registry changes, not what tools will remove the spyware.
