This guy is a dick and always has been; it's kinda nice to hear he's having trouble!
Not quite. Sweeden birthed a whole subset of metal called sweedish death metal. It all took place in and around gothenberg. More to the point, it kicks ass.

What we've seen will continue: consoles have begun to merge with HTPC's in their ability to play digital music, movies, photos, etc. They can't record/play tv shows, but can stream them over their internet connection via some tightly controlled channels (hulu, netflix, etc.). Since the console controls the TV, I think this trend will continue. HTPC/Apple TV's don't stand a chance.
That said, there will always be a need for a standalone PC to do WORK on. You could use a spreadsheet in the living room, but you wouldn't WANT to (maybe with binoculars).
PS - For all those arguing a price difference, I think it's almost 0. If you think ahead and buy a regular sized case, you can swap out the video card every 2-3 years and play the latest games on your PC. Averaging the high cost of consoles over their 6 year life, gives you a couple midrange video card upgrades.
ROT 13 encryption is so lightweight and trivial, but disguses the actual text. Someone should make a ROT13 Wall application that saves everything in rot13 and encrypts/decrypts automatically.

Clearly most subjects don't dramatically change from year to year (intro physics, algebra, calc, history, etc...).
Why do professors always want to use the most recent version? Is it only because they know everyone can get a copy?
Wouldn't it be easier (and legal) to solve this problem by publishing a page-number alignment table so that ALL old versions could be used in the same class?

I had the same delima, but quickly realized that the price difference is worth it for the simplicity of a device that is designed for a single function. The readynas does NAS well: it's quiet, simple and elegant. Homebrew machines are great, but always turn out looking like frankenstein and are loud, or they get expensive quickly.
Since you didn't really say much about other requirements, I'll recommend the NV+. I just got one on ebay and it's awesome. It just works. Shows up on the network immediately, has lots of blinking lights and a nice web config interface.
4 bays expand up to 4TB. Plus, it's a shoebox and not a gigantic 4U rack.
I believe they replaced the freon with R134a (which is, apparently tetrafluoroethane-1,1,1,2). So, yeah, no freon in cars or humidifiers, etc, for a while. Doesn't have much to do with it's efficieny I don't think.
i spent a lot of time my freshman year MUDding. When I finally quit, I realized what I'd been missing.
College is an amazing time to meet people your age. Get out there. Do not hide in your room. Try not to be shy. Go to parties, get drunk. Don't do thing's you'll regret, but go have fun. It's the only time in your life you'll be surrounded by people your age in a consequence-free environment (even if you do break the law, usually the campus police will give you a MUCH lesser punishment thant he state.).
So there you have it. Go make friends and try to have as much fun as you can. Don't study too hard.
It's 94.50 mb which takes a while to download. Upon installation and restart the new windows security center pops up and trys to get you to turn on your firewall, automatic updates and antivirus software. By default if any of these are off, there's an obnoxious red shield in the system tray. Turning off alerts for these makes it go away.
Otherwise there doesn't seem to be any major changes.
Last time I checked, you were supposed to vote for the person who you think could lead the country the best, and be the best president. This has nothing to do with what their supporters are like.
Even if all the democrat/liberal supporters were horrible horrible people, I'd still vote for the candidate because/if I agree with their policies. I woudl just avoid the supporters...
If you can't separate the candidates and his/her policies from his/her party and how the party (or seemingly associated) parties act, perhaps you shouldn't bother voting.
I have an IBM X31 and the standard battery. With the low power settings on (you're just writing an article, right?), wifi on, and the dock at home, it lasts just under 5 hours.
If you want to burn cd's, bring the base and put a batter in it and it'll last another 3 or so hours.
If you want ultra long battery life, get the super extended batter that clips onto the bottom, just like a base. It'll give you almost 9 hours!
This laptop is incredible. I highly suggest it for anyone who doesn't want to lug around a 6lb laptop.
I work in a leading financial company and we use extensive open source software.
Any code that goes into production goes through a security code review in addition to the regular QA and security QA phases. Then it's tested for penetration.
This is just to protect people's money, not to immediatly impact people's lives.
You can damn well bet that the millitary is going to thrash the code inside and out. It's just a shame they probally wont release any of their modifications to the public.
but if sales go down, they'll just say "LOOKIT everyone's stealing them online! we need to sue more! outlaw audio compression and high bandwith home connections!"

Good points. But this won't last for long as games get more complex and consoles get internet enabled for post-release patching.

RTFA, it says that 2 models will have linux (EEEPC901-BK006 and EEEPC901-BK002. The poster just mentions the winxp ones (ARGGH ANTI MICROSOFT)

The officers were in plainclothes. If you were being chased by a gang of plainclothesed guys you'd jump the barriers too.
He did nothing wrong, but run when a gang of guys ran after him. Thank god that danger is gone.

Whats the deal with dead beef?
At the school I go to the wireless gateway for campus's MAC is DEADDEADBEEF.
Is this just a popular phrase to spell with hex?
There's already several. Here's one for firefox:

I'm guessing that the 2mb l2 cache is faster, so why are we still following the fascination with clockspeed (other proof, like AMD, aside)?
you know alienware has struck it rich when they include their own "ALX High Performance Network Cable".

They most certainly will review the code.

thanks for quoting the movie the corporation.
it's a wonderful movie, everyone should go see it.
it's nice to see that they were techie-minded enough not to have the whois data say:
... deflatable... err..
Bungie software INc,
blah
blah
blah.
At least their viral marketing buzz isn't THAT quickly deflatable, even if the fact that it's viral marketing makes it
whoa this is confusing. i thought internet explorer was the internet?
Anyhow, can anyone help me, my internet keeps crashing!
