When was this? 52Mb/s? They don't have the backbone for that consumer connection.
Are they using these technologies as sort of a small telco -> big telco link? Otherwise, what's the point? Even existing consumer technology isn't the bottleneck.
OK, so how many Slashdot readers have a spare $100,000?
Right. It's not really that demand increases; it's more like the actual demand approaches the theoretical demand, which assumes perfect information. This is basic economics.
A definition of demand appropriate for an auction: The desire to possess a commodity or make use of a service, combined with the ability to purchase it. So being willing and able is built into the idea itself.
Furthermore, he should sell everything over time. The most important thing in economics is scarcity, so he would not want to "flood the market".
And as is, he has forced demand down to near nothing, because how many people have a hundred thousand dollars to spare? It would be funny if nobody bid.
Also, shouldn't ease of exploitability be taken into account? As I recall, there was a theoretical kernel vulnerability in Linux (in mremap()?) that remained unfixed for a long time, but no one could seem to demonstrate how to exploit it.
In case you don't realize, I went to a private high school. It speaks volumes about the state of education in this country. There aren't enough good and willing teachers on the high school level.
This seems to have been done many times before. This article from August 2002 says:
The next step gets scary. EEG (electroencephalogram) measures brain activity. So far in early experiments, NASA has been able to get volunteers to move a cursor on the screen merely by thinking left or right, up or down. This goes beyond bio feedback, Wheeler was quick to add.
What I saw was one dimensional, and I think I saw it on the Discovery Channel back in the day, as in 2001 or before.
I seem to remember seeing pictures demonstrating one-dimensional cursor movement using the human mind years ago. I'm confident that I'm not imagining things.
This story is insultingly non-news toward BSD---not intentionally, though.
Interviews are real stories. Releases are real stories. These stories that are completely predicated on stats generally go over like lead balloons anyway.
Maybe it was just the way that the submitter worded everything. References to trolls don't belong in the headline. Ever.
Extensions have broken my Firefox CVS builds three separate times. Until Firefox's extension system is 100% stable, I'm personally staying clear of them.
Still... vanilla Firefox is so much better than most everything else.
Slashdot Mirror
The question is, would anybody really buy two single -core Opterons after the dualies come out? I guess if it's dirt cheap...

OK, let's correct the previous posters on this one.
Mozilla and Firefox share plugin (Java, Flash, etc...) structure.
Mozilla and Firefox are internally different when it comes to extensions (mouse gestures, etc...) and themes.

"Um, Dad... can I borrow $100,000?"
" WHAT?! "
"...plus shipping..."

OK, be my guest. Try to engineer a dog with the properly complex vocal chords. I want to see that.
Now, if comcast would sell me a static IP address, I might care, but since they don't it's clearly not meant for servers.
Pssst: it's called "dynamic DNS."
Challenge Microsoft to give out their OS.
And office suite, don't forget the (only) other way they make $$$.

Yeah, it's ~200 years off.
It was a nice try, though.
Ah. OK, so it's normal ill intent. Just checking. Didn't know the details.
Let's try an experimental viewpoint out:
They're about 600 years, developmentally, behind you guys.
They're right now in the "temper tantrum" stage. The Christians embarked on the Crusades at this point in their development.
The Yahoo! News message boards are full of all sorts of dumb users on all sides. I usually write something there to dissipate a desire to flame.
Reeeeeally? It figures.

Maybe more like high school Civics.
There is so much to government that it takes a whole school year to cover just the objective part.
They refer to a lot of disallowed evidence in this "conservative news forum" of theirs. Would anybody care to elaborate on this?
!RTFA, as you note.

Uh, I think you mixed up the order of sex and safety. Take your pick of sites about the subject.
...just use smoke signals or carrier pigeons?

"We want the Open Circulation version of the Xandros desktop to replicate like a virus," said Dr. Frederick H. Berenstein, Xandros Chairman and CTO.
I really wish that analogy would just die. It connotes too many negative ideas.
