    Your toaster?

    Seems to me that if you put the general readership of /. to it, we could run Opera on a toaster. In that case I don't know.

    Furthermore, wasn't it developed as a recruitment aid?

  4. Re:Legos on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 0

    Too bad that all the lego sets are made to put something specific together. I remember when you could buy a firetruck that was made of all different sized rectangular blocks. There were very few "special" pieces. This made it very easy to turn that firetruck into a monster, or spaceship, or car. That versatility is what made Legos fun for me as a kid.

    Also had Construx, anyone remember them?

    You would have to declare the income you received on your taxes. They were probably looking to CTA by sending you the forms.

    You'll need to be careful about getting a color laser printer to do photos. They really don't have the color depth to do great photo's.

    You might want to look into dye-sub technology. Both wEpson and HiTouch make the media fairly affordable. You get the paper and ribbon in the same pack. I believe the Epson PictureMate's media kit costs about $20 US. This will get you 50 prints.

    Actually, that's explained. In several of the novels, it is stated that Hutts grow larger and more sloth-like as they age.

    Sure, it may be in their database somewhere, and yes, google is a search company. But how much server space do you think google has?

    How ironic. He states that our children are "innocently" seeking their favorite artists. I thought their whole premise was that anyone using one of these servces was guilty out of the gate...

    But this already exists. They're called the BSA, Business Software Alliance. They are the ones that conduct the "raids" on companies.

  14. Re:I Can See It Now - Instant bootlegging in the v on Instant Live Concert Recordings · · Score: 0

    You can hook up to 127 USB devices. Keep in mind though, that each hub counts as a device. So to get your 127 ports, you'd need to cascade 32 4-port USB hubs. Losing the 32 ports to the hubs would leave you with a theoretical 96 free ports.

    My OS knowledge is a little rusty, and I'm pretty sure that Windows has a limit on the number of drives. What about Linux?

  15. Re:Whatever happened to VII, VIII, and IX? on Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date Announced · · Score: 0

    They were written as three novels:

    Heir to the Empire

    Dark Force Rising

    The Last Command

    Timothy Zahn wrote them. This was a very well written and entertaining trilogy. It takes place after several key events have taken place. The story focuses on Han and Leia's youngest child.

    Archos makes a Jukebox 20 unit that appears to do all than you say the iPod does PLUS has a gadget available trip video from TV and VCR as well as a 1.3 MP still AND video camera attachment. Add USB 2.0 OOB and Optional FW and you've got a killer piece.
    They have larger available as well. The newest one has a 3 inch screen on it too. I've been using the older 20GB version for over a year and have never had a bit of trouble.

    Interesting theory. I had wondered that as well. Now that you've actually made me think about it; I'm pretty sure that not only did Vader never see them together, but their numbers weren't even spoken around him.

  21. Re:Where the hell did his folks get $250K???! on Adrian Lamo Surrenders · · Score: 1, Informative

    Typically, you need only need to post a bond in the amount of 10%. Thus, they wouldnot have to actually put up 250K but pay 25K and prove they can pay the rest if he flees. Also, since he turned himsef in, he would be considered a low flight risk. IANAL.

  22. Re:Why CD Sales Are Low -- Execs are Stupid on The Effect of Pirated CDs · · Score: 1

    Ooh has a good point. I used to buy probably a hundred CDs a month when I was in college and shortly out. I also used to rent alot of movies from Blockbuster. This is back when I had a CD player and VCR to entertain myself. Now, I have a DVD player, a PC and an xBox. My disposable income now goes to stuff for those. I would be curious to know if those companies that sell both CD and DVD formats have seen an uptick on one side and a downturn in the other and what the numbers are.
