No, the program is designed to not result in a DDOS. It requests only a few megabytes a day, it does not continuously hammer their server. It's not an attack on their existance on the web, but an attack on their cost, the exta traffice won't take them offline but it will increase their bandiwdth costs, making spam a less financially beneficial advertising method.
No, it charges while being used on the mat. The capacitor idea isn't to use it without the mat, but so that you can go off the mat for short periods and not have to lift it up, and reposition it (which is not good during an fps).
And it's different because it is optical. Graphics tablet mice are passive, they could never generate a beam and tablet mice i found to not have good accuracy compared to my optical mice.
Just as the corner of 146th and Bradley, to use the original example, is a unique address. The tracker keeps a list of unique hashes and people that want to know about it, but it does not neccessarily know what the hash points to, it's just a big directory service.
Except that if one party decides to ignore that state, the other one can go in and campaign without being too challenged, thus swinging the vote and getting several extra votes, thus both parties would need to campaign to keep the status quo.
Because proportion would matter, an extra two EC votes in one state is just as important as two EC votes in another. You would have to campaign in your seats to try and increase you percentage, your oponent's so decrease his lead and in the swing states to get as many of them as you can, As opposed to the current situation where a strong state is basically ignored.
But LotR wasn't a major brand before the movies. It was kind of popular, and quite a few people would have heard of it, but not many would know it at least not compared to a big francise.
Because it was small scale it wasn't on the watch list of the big execs, so they didn't appoint one of their formulatrons to lead the project and create a nice, demographically tested derivative of the books. Jackson was a fan who also had the talent, meaning he not only could make a good job of it, but who had to for his own sense as a fan.
Unfortunately Star Trek is firmly in the grips of people that lack both talent and passion, and if they do move on to other shows, they will be replaced by similar people who can be trusted not to upset the status quo. This isn't going to change until it nose dives in the ratings. After 5-10 years it would be open for someone to come in with a new idea, unobstructed by people scared of changing their formula.
Perhaps another way would be to have a runner up college. Like in the Olympics where the best runners up get to go through, thus helping to adjust for any uneven heats.
If this runner up EC had maybe 10% of the votes, the leftover votes from each state get added together and the EC votes are shared out proportionally.
This way states that are strong for either candidate don't have the position where opposition voters don't bother, you still don't have particular populations outbalancing the smaller areas and third parties who wouldn't win in a particular state could still get an EC vote if they have enough support.
On anime DVDs at least, the norm is 4 eps with some at 3 and 5 (usually to make up the odd numbers in a season), they also do require extra quality because compression artifacts are much more visible in animation than live action and they have two audio streams.
It's not illegal. The games rating system we have at the moment is voluntary (ie doesn't need to be there) and is advisory (ie it is an opinion about the game rating, not a condition for buying it).
Very few games opt in for BBFC ratings (it is voluntary for games to be rated by the BBFC), which is the legally enforcable rating.
No, it just means that the event horizon, the point at which light can't escape, is much closer to the singularity.
The radius of the event horizon is dependant soley on the mass of the object, if the total mass of the object fits within the radius for that mass, it collapses into a blackhole (so you could have a blackhole with the mass of an apple, but it'd be incredibly small). It still has the same mass and therefore the same gravity to anyone outside the radius of the object. If the moon did become a black hole then the graviational field would be identical upto the surface of what the moon once was.
Every country has similar generalisations attatched to them, and let's be honest, they aren't exactly the most offensive things ever uttered are they? Most people would be able to take something like that as not serious if you tried to insult someone like that you'd just get laughed at. but it can be useful to add a bit of humour n a situation that isn't being serious, I mean anything that lists curling as bad has to be a joke.
I remember from a few years ago an article about printing brail. You need an old dot matrix and software to convert text to brail. If you remove the print ribbon, the printer will impact on the paper, allowing the brail to be raised (make sure you print mirrored though).
Make sure the model you pick impacts the paper reasonably hard, if it's too hard then feed two sheets at a time so the paper doesn't tear.
I don't even bother dragging and dropping anymore. Keyboard short cuts for copy/cut and paste mean i go where i want, select the files i want, copy, then browse to where i want and paste. Easier than having to open another window, browsing that to where you want and then switching to the first window, dragging into the second window I find.
In some countries maybe. Here in the UK all calls cost money (unless you pay extra for one of these special off peak deals). In the UK mobiles are starting to become quite serious competition to landlines, O2 even had some advertisements trying to get people to switch to mobile as their main phone because of the prices.
And add to that the sheer usefulness of not having to be home to get calls from people.
OK, ignoring the obvious fanboy syndrome whereby you replace the idea of well thought out arguments with cheap flames and attacks. You've also managed to completely ignore two very important game due out this year.
Doom 3 and Half Life 2 have been top of many gamers' wishlists for years, the original HalfLife is still selling respectable numbers, despite being around 6-7 years old (and till only a few years ago was still at the top of most games mags recommended FPS games). The odds are stacking quite highly on their side.

Yes, we must all think for ourselves.

But what if they start putting RFID tags on our tinfoil hats!? Suddenly every slashdot reader is under threat of the evil RFID tags.

At which point the boss gets his own back with a phone call to our favourite 4 letter acronym.
That idea's nothing but moon shine.

I suggest "-1, new moderation idea"
Those of us weighing in by the kilo is growing though.

Well sounds like they're the only ones who like the queen, most of the people in England either don't like or don't care.
Gmail is still in beta, you have to expect some sort bugs for now.

Miyazaki is quite against unneccesary use of computers in animation, he apparently still checks all keyframes personally.
Nope, it's actually 1.
