Not only that, but Yahoo maps sucks up CPU power like there's no tomorrow. Everything slows down while it loads map pieces. It also loads slower overall, and the imagery is very much inferior.
And North Korea is the fork by the people who thought Mao's revolutions & leaps weren't extreme enough. But they don't count because they've gone closed source since.
Are you joking? Turn on the lights in your room so the ambient light is of the same intensity as the monitor. If you put a paper and a monitor side-by-side, you'll find the brightness of white areas is the same. There's a reason for the common recommendation to turn on the lights, ya know.
Assert administrative privileges and disable all virus protection.
Now that is just vile.
I almost feel like posting a lengthy rant on the immaturity of the average slashdotter, and the repellent factor it has towards women in the industry, like has been discussed before here. This post would be the poster child. But...
Yeah, the MSX seems very interesting but underpowered. Comparing to the Amiga 500 again, it also had only a 3-tone + noise sound chip, apparently the same as in the Amstrad. No disk drive in the earlier models, versus built-in in the Amiga and even Amstrad.
Seems it didn't move forward fast enough and got overrun, the last model still only has 256KB of memory as standard.
I always use mirror technology when I shave, but only hardware, not software. Also, my blades get quite hot in action, I'm still figuring out the cooling requirements.
You don't even need smart cards, though they give extra geek points. I have a folded, laminated, credit card sized piece of paper that has 50 one-time PINs on it. To login, I type my randomized customer ID (8 numbers), then the next unused PIN. After doing my business, I confirm all transactions by typing in a different confirmation code, randomly chosen from the 20 or so also printed on the paper. No high-tech needed, and you need to do some serious work to perform nefarious deeds.
Keyloggers will catch my ID, and one confirmation code out of 20, but not the next login PIN. Stealing the paper (or any bank statement found in the thrash) won't give away the customer ID. If I'm threatened, I could eat or burn the paper.
Of course, a local trojan browser that inserts it's own transactions behind the scenes could work, if it's fast enough to do it between my clicks, but not otherwise, since page and session info is all on the server. It breaks the back button, but it breaks background trojans as well, as long as I keep clicking. And also: Holy Custom-Built Trojan, Batman!
So far I haven't come up with a way to break this system, though I'm sure I've overlooked something. At least there's no easy way.
Speaking of lights, I put together a.kmz file for Google Earth with an image overlay of the Earth at Night image. Behold the void and lack of ethernet north of the 38th parallel.
Also included is a placemark for the nuke test site, just for good measure.

It seems pretty expensive actually, compared to SkypeOut. Except for the free offer of course.

I've never been on a flight where ID wasn't checked at the gate.
ID is always checked at the gate on international flights, AFAIK. Even domestic ones, where I come from.

.. I laughed too. Damn you, hypocrisy!
Hopefully. The obscenity of a Windows release certainly warrants an R-rating.
Not sure how IE7 does it, but in Opera you read feeds the same way as mail and news.
So you say, but that's obviously not what was meant.

You must be very new here.

It's "copyrites", i.e. the dances you perform to make the photocopier finally work.
It's aligned for the Korean Peninsula. I made an image overlay for Google Earth that's slightly better.

Ok. I do try my best to stay out of that business.
Uh, see that's the point. If she's actually any good, she'll have the smarts to buy one herself.
Nope, it's the output of a copy-paste from the alt.postmodern FAQ.
