They didn't have any chairs to sit on in the server room while they fixed security holes, so they made a big pile of money and sat on that, and it worked almost as well. After the whole fiasco NASA is now researching a new more expensive type of money that is more easily convertable to a sitting appliance.
Wow! If it took them several hours to fix, I would love to be the IT guy there!
Well now, you had a port open on your firewall, and "pswrd" as as the password for root, so, it took me 1/2 hour to fix, plus 3 1/2 to get through security, so at $50,000 an hour, that will be 200k! I take personal checks...
I think you might want to reach out more to people who are unsure of wanting to be in IT. I'm in 12th grade, and I know that the people who are going to enter a programming competition are the ones who are already going into programming. If your goal is to find the best and the brightest of that group, then that is the way to go. If you want to attract kids who are not sure they know what to do with their future education, you need something that focuses more on ingenuity and less on previous knowledge.
Why is it when anyone posts "Dump the palm and buy a Pocket PC" they get modded down, but when someone suggests "Dump the palm and buy Pocket Linux" they get modded up? Both are equally valid (or not valid suggestions.)
There is a lot of talk in this thread about cost. Anyone know how much a drug cocktail costs now for someone with AIDS? I imagine that they will be glad to pay the cost for a once a year shot.
I doubt that it exceeds 500mA. Have you seen the battery for the DS or GBA SP? It is not very big, I would say it could hold cells about the size of 2 AAAs at most. That gives it like a 150-250mWH capacity, right?
Who says that the Air Force didn't evaluate Linux? The parent never said anything about that, they just said that they decided to ask for a special version of Linux. Who knows? Maybe Openoffice couldn't do exactly what they wanted. Maybe they devided that backing up, reformatting, installing Linux, then training everybody all over again (trust me, this is hard stuff to learn for 60 year old secritaries) was not worth the trouble.
So far official ratings have put the show at.05% market share, but the OSS community is confident that within 2 years OSS shows will serve the majority of the TV watching public...
I do wash my hands. You do know that your hands secrete acidic oils that can combine with plastic to make it look dirty? That is why they don't let even the most hygenic museum goers to touch paintings and statues.
VHS won't be dead to me until my VCR moves from on top of my TV to The Closet of Obsolete Techonolgy with my Psion Revo, Minidisc player and Microsoft Handheld PC Professional Edition device. I still use VHS when I have to, not everything is on DVD yet, and recording stuff on DVD is still expensive and not as easy as popping in a VHS tape.
I hate to tell these 6% of people, but I did this, and it was a mistake. Apple purposely made the Windows version of the iPod driver and iTunes slow and buggy. I had to reinstall XP twice to get the iPod to work (for you *nix people waiting to troll, that is 2 more times than usual for hardware). I have to say I am disapointed with the Apple Hardware and software. The hardware is expensive for what you get (G4 eMacs are slow compaired to a PC of the same price), and Mac OS X freezes so much more than XP. There are so many obvious problem that make you wonder about the "supior engineering of Apple Products". For instance, those snow white keyboards that look so cool when you take them out of the box. For those of you who have seen snow, you know how it looks after it has sat for a couple of days. The white keyboard is like that now. Beige and black hides the dirt so much better. Also, putting the power button on the back of the machine?!? Mr. Jobs, we like to turn our computers on and off too, just like PC people. Also, guess what, the iPod does not work that much better on the Mac! Half the time it does not mount. I have already sent one iPod back to Apple. People, buy a Creative Zen and a mirror, and forget the nice white and stainless steel finish of the iPod.

Wow, now there might be a practical inexpensive method for solid state servers.
And just when I thought I was having a nice day...
So, 9.8M/s^2 = 1g, so my $500 iPod can take a 1500 second dro [pauses to buy helicopter tickets online...]

No, you would need 7 tin-foil hats... 3 for transmitting and 4 for recieving.
I wonder what the 4th one is for... Maybe it is so that the government cans send us subliminal messages.
Then what am I going to put into my next workstation!?!
Couldn't you power a hundred digital watches off a solar panel that big?

Didn't Lacie relase their 1.6TB Bigger Disk a couple of months ago, for less money?
Yes, but VCRs have more spinny things inside them than HDTV, which makes them infinitely better.
Just as linux has completely wiped Windows out of the desktop market.
Brute forcing scrambled cable...

No, evidently you only need 15-125 kibibucks, or 14-110 kilobucks. Still, I don't have that...
No fair, I thought there would be instructions!
My favorite activity is hooking my 300 baud modem up to popular ham channels, and trying to connect to AOL. ;)
Ok, the solar powered flashlight and the helicopter ejection seat have been knocked down a place in the list of useless inventions. ;)
