Honestly, I think it shows a lack of class on his part.
Ok, for those who already modded me a troll in other postings on this topic, I want to point out the difference to you: this one right here that I just wrote is a troll. The other postings were honest questions and issues that don't deserve to be modded to oblivion just because you disagree with the premise.
Nice I was modded a troll. It was an honest question about what I think is a real issue with original posting article.
Is Slashdot now intending to extend the/. effect to peoples mailboxes ?
A person's name and email was posted in the text of the slashdot topic. I am not referring to the original article linked, which of course it is too, but in the actual slashdot posting. This is quite frankly, a sad state of affairs that this would be done.
Its really nice that people who run slashdot themselves now encourage corporate harassment and activist measures by posting people's names and email addresses.
Whats next ? Posting email addresses of likely Presidental voters to get them to switch to Slashdot's favored candidate ?
FCC Part 15 rules state that this device must accept any interference, including interference that might disrupt its operation.
This means that any other wireless routers, cellphones, microwave ovens, etc... are free to wreak havoc on it, and vice versa.
Having said that, you can always spend more money to upgrade to the newest 802.11 wireless protocols that operate in a different range. It will still be another 6 months before prices drop enough for students without rich parents can afford them.
Honestly, as a young man, I am sure he can tough it out with a CAT5 cable like we did in my day and age, before these new fangled wireless things made life easy. It won't be chic, and it is certainly very old-fashioned, but it gets the job done. Its quite possible your son might never have seen a CAT5 cable before, so now its time for you to show him how Daddy use to do it.
Or you can have Grandpa come down and show him how they did it with 10base2.
A 12" liquid cooled AlBook G4 would be nice...

The one I have has a loud constantly running fan and
it gets real hot. The only time it seems to run
cool is when its running off the battery.
And yes, I run in reduced performance mode. I have
tried resetting the power circuits to no avail.
Not a bad idea from their perspective.
Right now, only 1 game requires the HDD (FFXI). If I might have missed 1 other game, my point still stands.
Other games that USE the HDD can run just fine without it.
Other than possible speedups, and possible large gamesave areas, there might not be other use for the HDD. Those two factors are actually not terribly compelling for a HDD. People will still buy games despite not having those features.
In return for dropping the HDD, Sony can save a little bit more money on manufacturing. Every tiny 2 cent part adds up to dollars in the end per unit.
Finally, Sony can try to do damage control on the HDLOADER fiasco that allows mass-pirating of games on systems that support the HDD.
Sony won't lose customers for not including the HDD support. Maybe new FFXI players will have to scrounge old consoles. HDLOADER/ADVANCE users were primarily warez0rs so thats no loss to Sony.
Overall, this is a win for Sony. People will still buy this console. I will.
Are you assuming that is the only place where american troops stand guard ? Are they not standing guard at all government ministries ? Perhaps you were rolled by a photo shot of a specific location in order to sell a bias that the war was about oil. (It may very well have been, but this picture is nothing more than a propaganda piece in the opposite direction)
As I linked in an earlier comment, Vodafone Japan sells phones with that are dual-mode and tri-band that work both with their local Japanese W-CDMA network and worldwide GSM networks. These are new and advanced phones that have the same 3G capabilities as their Japan-only counterparts. They are also multi-lingual.
As such, a TREO would only be useful outside Japan, and have not nearly the same capabilities as a dedicated 3G phone.
Actually do. This phone is dual-banded as a GSM phone in additional to W-CDMA. Vodafone Japan offers it is a phone that will work both in Japan and US/Europe. Please RTFlink.:)
You have to buy a Japanese phone that can also dual-mode with GSM networks.
Japan has a variety of 2.5 and 3G cellular networks. Long before the rest of the world, thus why so little compatibility.
But that all is changing with W-CDMA (not to be confused with plain old CDMA from the USA). Tri-band dual-mode phones that do W-CDMA and GSM are coming out that can be used globally *including* in Japan.
Verizon is standard CDMA and no Japanese phones use that. In fact, Japanese phones don't use anything used elsewhere in the world, except the now brand-new W-CDMA standard. Cellphone manufacturers are just now making tri-band dual-standard phones that roam between the newer W-CDMA networks in japan (and rolling out elsewhere in the world) and the older GSM service.
GSM service in the United States exists with Cingular, T-Mobile, and the soon tobe defunct ATT. Oddly enough, Vodafone owns a chunk of Verizon, but the CDMA standard isn't used by Vodafone anywhere else in the world, everything else is GSM. I think Vodafone really wanted ATT Wireless to expand their US presence in a compatible way but they have that Verizon boat anchor that probably kept them from making a bid.
Since I live in Japan now, I have had to ramp up on how cell phones work. They are definitely cooler here.
Check out this link to vodafone Japan. Historically there is no compatibility between Japanese and outside Japan cell networks, but some very new and very cool phones just came out. Read this link. Many Japanese phones are multilingual they just don't work with GSM and other networks, but this one does. Your jaw will drop:)
I gave my original first model Linksys wi-fi 4port dsl router to a friend. In helping him set it up, I flashed it for him since it was done in years and lots of useful changes have been made.
So 1 day later, another friend comes over to help him with this computer setup again. He insists to flash the Linksys even though my friend insisted that I had already done it. "Oh it won't hurt to do it again!" And he promptly flashed the firmware from a different (but similarly spelled name) model. Instant brick!
My friend, who lost his free linksys, ended up having to shell out at the store for a replacement. Oh well...
Perl is a cross-platform tool that existed long before Linux did. Why do such things get posted under Linux ? May as well post it under BSD it would be doing the same thing.
This happened with the recent Bash 3.0 topic as well. Why do people associate things with Linux just because it is open source ? (Unless it is BSD open source).
Bash is a portable tool that existed long before Linux did. It is not specific or particular to Linux. So why in the world does this get posted under the category of Linux ?
Then why do these form the backbone of the philosophy of nearly all FOSS hippy I have met ?
Sorry, but these so-called myths *DO* represent the FOSS movement. You can't have the good without the bad. There is tons of good in FOSS, but these so-called myths are the baggage that comes with it.
Or is the author trying to portray the FOSS movement as all good, and trying to sweep dirty laundry under the rug ?
In fact, I would have been majorly shocked if it wasn't some reasonable amount as 386MB. No useful modern PC should come with less than 512MB and should really have 1GB. If someone doesn't need 512MB of memory, then they don't need that pentium 1Gz+ either.
I wanted to say the same thing. Since when does an example of an old game no one ever heard mean nostalgia for old games == bad ?
At the very least I was expecting nostalgia in the form of games people actually heard of and played to be discussed.
Multiple graphics consoles and keyboards
attached *directly* to a single mini-computer running a UNIX-type operating system running X-windows *HAS* been done over a decade ago.
In this case, they were separate login consoles
and, yes, each had their own X-window session, and
yes, it was not an xterminal, they were connected directly via video and kbd cables to the main system. I am trying to remember the system in question I think it was a Stardent Titan mini-computer used for graphics visualization.
I am genuinely curious. People are raving about slackware but not saying what is so great about it.
This is not a troll, I really sincerely want to know. I have no opinion about Slackware, its been over 10 years since I used it. It gets little press these days compared to Redhat.
So why would one choose it over the more well known distributions ? I might want to check it out, but I do want to know whats in it for me first.
Huffman coding was one of the first codings used to compress data LONG LONG time ago, in a galaxy far far away where MP3's were billions of years yet to come in the future.
It is real cool to see such pioneering people still involved in new things.

With the routers in space, we can now detect when hostile alien invaders begin to use them to coordinate their attack and destruction of planet Earth!
Fortunately, the Cisco IOS vulnerabilities will remain intact to accommodate the breach of security that will save the planet Earth!
Only 2 more days to go!
