Gah! Why hasn't someone mentioned it yet? You absolutely have to have a coffee maker. It comes right after the Knoppix disc but before the binary clock. Shoot, I'm standing at our bench on Knoppix with a coffee maker between the machine that I'm on and the one that I'm installing OpenBSD on. Coffee maker is definitely a must-have.
Not to sound like a troll, but why are these stories always calling satellites "moons?" We have a real, general word that fits perfectly: SATELLITE. I was going to say that the poster should be using the correct terminology as this is Slashdot, but on second thought, maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea when a lot of people substitute there for their. Oh, the glorious misnomers.
About four and five years ago, the FBI wanted access to Earthlink's system. They were trying to install Carnivore, and Earthlink said no to this on the basis of system integrety and users' privacy rights. Eventually, Earthlink lost out, but they definitely tried to hold the feds out, even when the FBI came a few days after the terrorist attacks.
What would IBM's reaction be to a video of someone hacking OS/2 to work on an iBook? Cease and desist letters? Maybe a lawsuit? Oh, man, I hit this one on the head!!
And by implication of your statement, you don't drink Corona? As a fellow slashdotter, I know that you can't handle heavier drinks than Corona, so you are stuck with water and/or Snapple by process of elimination since you don't drink Corona. Geek.
Think for a minute what you're saying. Sure you could have your OS stuff on there, but why would you want to waste the money to put network content on it? You might be saving wear and tear on your HDD's, but there is a more affordable way.
Just upgrade your RAM. Run a ramdisk, a virtual HDD off the ram, and be done with it! Load an image off the HDD at boot time, and you just had to pay for RAM (assuming that you weren't already maxed out). Halting the system backs it back up to HDD, so there's your "nv" ram aspect as well. For minus $150 the cost.
Cannibalized their business T1 subscriptions? What do you mean by this? Bellsouth, among other telecom providers, holds separate tiers of service, one for business, and one for personal use. It's their way of milking the most money out of the market. At a business, unless you know the installer, you *can't* order home service. Why else would business products frequently cost 500% to 1000% the price of a comparable service? Sure, you have "ultra-reliable" T1 service for hundreds per month for a connection that's slow by today's standards, but think about Comcast's high prices for business services. The reliability between business and home connections is similar, and the features are likewise, but the price is far greater.
The "requirements" to share connections many times have a detrimental effect to infrastructure. Of course they will drag their feet to let people use their lines. It's competition running over lines that they laid down. In a deregulated market, when a company has lost full control over its own infrastructure, it will not take care of what infrastructure it considered its own. Take, for example, some power companies in the northeast US. As they were deregulated, plants and lines were poorly maintained and fell to shambles. There were many problems, including power outages, so in addition to the "dragging their feet" argument, you must take into consideration the destroyed maintenance incentives. Some companies can be very touchy.
Now how about this scenario? I've had issues with connectivity before. Sometimes there are several AP's open in an area, say, Joe with his AP, 'linksys' and another guy, Bob, once again with an open access router, just say 'linksys' again, open by default. Two poorly configured AP's.
What's going to keep Bob from accidentally using Joe's poorly configured connection? I've had my Wifi connection die...probably everyone reading this has. It's also kind of hard to differentiate sometimes. What kind of average Joe is going to memorize his BSSID?;)

Mod him up to +5, troll. Then make me +5, offtopic.
The BBC: Run by a government that's run by socialists. Implications of the Labour party? Bash me if you please.
If it's ANYTHING like lean beef, I don't want it!

GAH! Wessel? More like weasel. Now that this has gone public, I'll never be self-elected to project manager assistant.
4. Send tourists to Mars for number 5's sake. Heck, if there's water on Mars, no better place to put a ski resort.
Yes, but I have heard it more often than not carrying a brief or scant connotation. (Maybe I just hang around the wrong crowd?)
I wouldn't exactly call 25 years a stint...
If it can happen in real life, it *WILL* happen on the holodeck.

As disgusting as this whole concept is, at least I know why Beavis spazzes out and turns into Cornholio whenever he drinks Volt Cola.
Actually, the units are degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. It would be 50C, 50F, or 50K.
Slashdotted after like 30 comments.
It's a little less tacky than cutting a hole into your painting for a HDD.

Well it SURE AS HECK scared me into believing that there was.
Not as useful as overclocking on a hacked OBD1 Uberdata ECU. It would give me an excuse to buy a better MAP sensor ;)

107 cameras. Go figure. NASA was just *trying* to figure out a way to use all of those X10 cameras that their employees were tricked into buying.
Kompressor: We must destroy X10! We must destroy all Internet ad!
