BMW today announced that in keeping with the spirit of their Apple iPod partnership, the "i" in BMW's model names will now be placed before the number.
Have any Slashdot readers ever actually used the backwards compatibility on their PlayStation 2?
YES! In fact, I have used it for several games, for the following reasons:
It just flat out took me a long time to finish the game (Final Fantasy series, MGS VR Missions), because I got distracted with other games/work/bright lights
The game has a fun head-to-head mode (Soul Blade, Syphon Filter II)
The game is fun to play more than once (MGS, Syphon Filter)
I keep the game around for nostalgic purposes (Doom, Warhawk, Original demo disks)
The game is only available for the PSOne (Final Fantasy IV-VIII)
It's good to be able to sell the old hardware, but keep the games you like to play for use with the new hardware.
BTW, the PS2 can speed up disk access and perform smoothing on some PS1 games, which is kind of neat.
And CNN does not seem to employ anyone who understands science in the least.
In this case, the information came from Dick Rutan. Mach 25 was the number that he told the reporter who was interviewing him. I assume that he knows what he's talking about, seeing as he's Burt's brother.
Why would anyone wish harm upon someone trying to pave the waqy for the rest of us?
Well, I for one, am against paving The Waqy. What a sad day it is when people feel the need to pave over the poor innocent Waqy for the sake of progress. Does not The Waqy feel pain? Would you not defend the rights of The Waqy as your own? Think about it.
Good for you. It's difficult to admit when you have a problem. I know, I used to be a dual-booter too, and it was tough. I used to make up excuses, "It's only a small partition; it's not hurting anyone." I didn't realize the effect this had on my loved ones. Thanks to Dual-Booters Anonymous, though, I got help, and I've been clean for five years. Best of luck.
Download the SP1 Network install before beginning your XP installation. Stick it on a CD or a Samba share and install it prior to connecting to the Internet.
Figuring out how to do this with only one machine and no installed OS is left as an exercise for the reader.
Autopatcher XP is for Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or 1a. It won't help you if you don't have these installed yet (i.e. new installation from original XP disk).
The Department of the Treasury runs the Secret Service.
Which sub-branch of the executive body a particular government organization is under is really only an artifact of what sounded like a good fit at the time it was created.
One of the jobs of the Secret Service is to investigate counterfeiting, which is why they are under the Treasury Department.
a world where PHBs can turn their office wall into a window onto any cube. Zero privacy. The technology is great, but the potential for abuse is definitely there.
Only on Slashdot can the poster mention a completely ridiculous privacy abuse issue, while missing the point that an invisibility cloak could be used for theft.
As to other things I visualize, I 'see' numbers starting as an analog clock, running from one around to twelve and then heading straight up. Once they hit 100, they start to curve over to the left. -1 starts at the center of the clock and counts downward, passing behind the 6. Guess things will be different for my daughter, growing up with digital clocks.
I "see" numbers as a digital clock. Unfortunately, I see them as one of those digital clocks with digits the printed in white on little black cards that flip down covering the previous digit. Sometimes the numbers get stuck and the clock breaks, or more than one card flips at a time, which is why I can't add correctly.

Stalin was still the Soviet leader until 1953.
Malenkov was First Secretary before (and along with) Khrushchev.
Chernenko was only General Secretary for a 13 months, but still managed to escalate the cold war.

Low Earth Orbit is 350 km (217 mi). Obits lower than this are not stable.
In addition, they would have to be going about 8 times faster to reach orbit.
My post was purely in the interest of science, but what you...
What you posted is just...
After careful research, I found a visual aid that helps clear up the mystery.
**WARNING** Do not view at work (if you are a mechanic). It's a truckse.cx link.
Seriously, it was a joke. Uh, an, "Insightful", joke apparently.
Not really. They can just put their NIC into promiscuous mode and watch the traffic on their segment.
Wow, your nickname is even somewhat on topic.

It's just SCO trying to prove they own Linux!

It was even in the article!

The writer is a fcntl!
What? Hey, if you can say, "fsck", instead of, "fuck"... Oh, nevermind...
No, no, no. It's just spring water!
(Learned everything I know about Japan from English translations of 70s anime.)
Having held a security clearance in the past, I can tell you that it does not require giving a DNA sample.
Of course, actually getting hired by the defense contractor required a urine sample.
Well, that's BS. Nothing even remotely important gets put into a PowerPoint presentation.
I know, I've been to meetings. God, have I been to meetings...
EXACTLY!
