The movies that I want to see at the theatre, I go see at the theatre. A small computer monitor and stereo sound are no real replacement for me.
It still boils down to the fact that they're going to make their money if they make good movies. I'm not going to rush out to the theatre every night, but I'll go if there's something I want to see. Everything else, either wait for TV or download it. No big revenue loss there.
I am actually testing the VIA M10000 motherboard right now for a potential office rollout. Even with their 1GHz proc's, they will rival most machines for basic word processing, e-mail, and client-server apps. I can put one together for $500 cdn, and it will handle everthing the office wants it to, for 1/3 of the cost of a new PC.
If I leave here, to kick your ass for asking such stupid questions, when would you first find out that I have left my house? When you opened your door and got my foot in your ass.
Now who's talking fantasy?
All I'm saying fucknut, is that any form of radiation will have some noticeable effects on the surrounding area, and 45,000 light years is a long distance to go unnoticed, no matter what speed it's going at.
Let me explain this further. As the radiation approaches a star, it would have an effect on the star even before it got to the star. Given the diameter of a star, plus the fact that it hasn't reached the star yet, there would be some precursor data which we could measure.
And maybe I wouldn't know that you were coming to my house to try and put your foot up my ass, bud I'd sure as hell see you coming up the front walk.
Why don't you go grow up, and ask for my address when you graduate high school, and get enough money together for bus fare to my city. Until then, fuck off and live another day of your life in your fantasy world.
Yes, I understand the physics behind it, but I imagine that there would have been some precursors to its arrival. 45,000 light years is still a long time, and there should have been ripples beforehand. And you do realize that the theoretical speed of light is through a vacuum. It had a lot of shit to go through in 45,000 years.
The biggest problem with a 3D desktop is that our input devices are still stuck in 2D. Maybe it would take a 3D desktop to foster innovation in pointing devices, but most likely it will take both, at the same time. I'm waiting for the Minority Report style interface, with virtual keyboards, multiple desktops, and overexaggerated gestures. Add some weighted wristbands to the mix, and just maybe I'll get a good cardio workout while trolling Slashdot as well.
Yeah, I have a couple of PC's doing essentially nothing as well (Neither one runs windows) that could help out a project, but same thing. I refuse to help out SETI tho, I think we should concentrate our efforts on finding intelligent life here on earth first.
Pipe the heat down to the street and start your own collection of homeless people. You do it enough, and property valeus will fall dramatically, and you can buy your building.
1: Attract homeless people by using heat from your PC 2: ????? 3: Profit.
People who believe that SPUTES are safer really need to get a grip on reality.
And people who believe that their Festiva is safer to be in than an SUV needs to get a grip on the bumper of the SUV that's going to run their ass over. More steel == safer == less overall damage
Slashdot Mirror
Even Hitler did things because they were the right thing to do.
No, this is not enough to invoke Godwin's Law.
Oy! That's a beauty!
Nicely done!
I don't do it often, but I do it big.
Judging by your sig. you must have laughed your ass off.
Naw, that will act as a giant flag to all potential lay-ers.
Oh wait, you mean by a girl. Nevermind.
It would be better if you had to earn them first. But then again, I would have mine by now.
In the press release it's called "incorporating stable and mature technology into the Apple world".
Imagine trying to support people that still can't find the "any" key..
Just support them over a cliff for as long as your arm can hold out.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that something that had to travel 45,000+ years to get here should have had noticeable effects on data coming in already.
Maybe the scientists are saying "Hey, this explains all that strange shit we've been seeing."
I'd gladly use a cellphone to prevent getting a case of Amish.

Why didn't we see this coming? Did the scientists need an extra week or something?
I wear an ugly ass company-provided cellphone everywhere. Damn skippy if I can cutomize it, I'm going to. Anything to get away from the bland.
And btw, you have any stickers on your computer case?
if you can video conference with it, you'll have to explain to you boss why you're laughing every time he calls you.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

It's gyromoscopimic. We're talking about the president!
As long as he lives it up there. I'll live mine down here and hope that ne'er the twain shall meet.
Aww, leave poor Popeye Cretin alone. Once he realizes that he's been dead for about a year, his body will give out.
Why should the driver be bothered by my horn, or the wrecked bus of burning nuns?
