Who else saw the title and automatically tried to figure out how on earth airships were supposed to revolutionize firewalls? Just me? Fine. Be that way.
And this, boys and girls, is why we at least read the description of the article, even if we don't RTFA. We're trying to save the right to fair use on media, not trying to save the abandoned video format.
Have you considered moving your head? Lasers tend to only focus over small areas:)...or is it tracking the movement of your head? if that's the case, I suggest holding a mirror in front of your face until you smell the sucker smoking.
I appreciate that. Sure it's OT, but it's really cool when people are good to strangers.
So as not to be totally OT, the thing about this player is that the iPod is already exremely well established as the cool small player with hard disk space. It's not quite so cool to have a rio as it is to have an iPod.
Walking through my university bookstore today, I noticed Fedora for Dummies, as well as a number of other books aimed at linux for new users. That said, I'm not sure how many people would go into the (gasp!) technology section of a bookstore if they're not looking for something a little more comprehensive.
As of the 2.6.7 kernel, all of the stupid bios issues with this laptop are fixed, so you can turn acpi and speed governing on and it works. The only problem I still have is that it doesn't know when I plug it in or unplug it without restarting acpid (doesn't affect charging, just power profiles and the battery meter)
It just uses your piano along with your processor. As long as you can stand the noise of your piano running at several Ghz, it's quite the improvement.
You're absolutely right about that, at least in my case. I had a teacher in my 10th grade World Literature class who was convinced that summaries were most of what we needed. As a result, we read almost nothing in its entirety. Rather, we read a lot of excerpts and even more summaries (we even split sections of one book between several groups who reported back to the rest of the class what happened in their section). This ruined reading for me and I stopped reading outside of what I had to read for class for the next 3 years.
At the end of high school, I ended up with a lot of leisure time and somehow found myself reading a few nonrequired plays. Since they were light reading, I could usually get through an act each night before I went to bed. What I discovered is that there is a lot of insight, imagination, and thinking that goes into reading recreationally which is absent both on the internet and in technical (or even required) reading.
My suggestion is to try reading even for 10 minutes before bed. It turns out that it's both a wonderful way to relax and a good way to expose yourself to new feelings (even if it's not "real" literature)
I've used welding helmets very much like you describe. They're triggered by very bright light to become extremely (you can only see the arc) dark. As soon as you turn the welder off, the helmet goes clear (well, actually, green). My impression is that this isn't too novel.
If you're presented with an unknown IP address, and they suggest you use NSlookup, it may save your eyes to use something that tells you what it is without you looking at it.
No no! You've got it all wrong! The next level is the one set in the Siberian dungeon where you have to fight the boss over a pit of frozen lava. The dinner and a movie was just a cut scene in between.
Do you realize that "faggot" used to refer to a bundle of sticks?
This was indeed true, however, it has also had a negative connotation for quite some time. Those intended for burning at the stake were frequently made to carry their own faggot. Those who repented at the last moment were forced to wear the insignia of one for the rest of their lives. A "faggot" become one who resisted the church. It has not been a purely harmless term for quite some time.
That's quite the oversimplification. Case in point, last year I bought an Athlon XP 2400+ which is actually clocked at 2.0 GHz for my desktop. This year, I got a laptop with an Athlon 64 3000+, which is clocked at 1.8 GHz. While I don't run benchmarks on my computers for the hell of it, please let me assure you that the laptop is not 10% slower than the desktop, but is, as indicated by the marketing numbers appreciably faster.
I had truly unintelligible handwriting going into high school. However, on a whim, I decided to start taking Japanse. The way Japanese (and Chinese) is written is dictated by a strict stroke order. I have since begun to incorporate this into my handwriting. While it is still nothing to brag about, it has been a long time since anyone complained about it either. The basics are just that you go top to bottom and then left to write with the lines you make. Also, the skill of learning to write a different character set applies directly to handwriting recognition devices.
I fenced through middle school and into high school. What I found is that since fencing is a solitary impersonal sport since both you and your opponent are in masks, it doesn't exactly inspire socialization. Even standing around the water cooler between bouts really only acquaints you with the people at your club rather than teaching you social skills. Yeah it can be fun, but if it didn't hurt my social skills, it certainly didn't help.
I've never been as extreme as the post sounded nor as some others, but I've alway been a geek and never hugely social. Through elementary and middle school, I'd have one or two close friend, and very few others I could socialize with at all. After freshman year of high school, I quit fencing to join theatre (not for social reasons...guess it was just in my blood). Working on shows (acting or tech, both of which I've done quite a bit of) makes you work closely with a ton of people, even for smallish shows. It didn't take that long until I had my first real girlfriend. She wasn't in theatre, but it was the social skills from theatre that got me there. That and she liked my flair for the dramatic.
I'm now a high school senior who has not been single any longer than I've wanted to be any time since last January. I still don't have throngs of friends (well, I do read slashdot after all), but I get along with most of the people I know and feel very comfortable in most social situations. Acting taught me to leave the computer on my desk and see the world that has people in it.
I checked your calculation and it more or less works out (though it should be 104857600 Kb, since we're talking gigabytes), so then I checked mine-102400 MB @ ~1MB/min=102400/60/24=71.11.

tr.v. obsoleted, obsoleting, obsoletes: To cause to become obsolete.

That seems a bit suspicious. 88-bit!?
It just uses your piano along with your processor. As long as you can stand the noise of your piano running at several Ghz, it's quite the improvement.
So now that you've been slashdotted again, how does it break down?

Of course, I shouldn't talk. I drive either a 99 grand marquis or a 78 cougar.
Hmm...you're right...it is kind of hard to tell the difference.

Not only that...you just got modded informative. What slashdot mods want to be informed of any time some AC is sick?!?
If you're presented with an unknown IP address, and they suggest you use NSlookup, it may save your eyes to use something that tells you what it is without you looking at it.
(nslookup the IP to get the joke...)
Slightly OT, but you can also just enter the IP on google. Yay for google.

Has the "privateer" race been done? It would be nice to see a privateer complete the challenge.
I was always under the impression that 150 miles wasn't too much in privateer terms.

get smaller, cheaper and more high quality?
Pick 2. you can't have all three.
You can have just about anything you want for any price you want--you just have to be willing to wait until somebody comes up with it.
