Well, there is that one odd feature of appearing to turn the wearer invisible, but for some reason it doesn't work on my friend Tom. Oh, and it seems to attract heroes and endless hordes of villains. Any takers?
Oh well, at least I finally got those damn trespassing theiving hobbits.
No, I regularly hit 100 mbps, and know people who have gigabit (but, due to hard drive speed or other factors, seem to top out around 600 mbps). So that is definitely not a limitation in windows.

This is clearly not true AI. This is just a machine that has a lot of data on what to say to sound human. Although it will likely fool some people, it's just not the same thing. True AI would most likely learn or develop interaction like that. This can't even learn...
Joke all you want, but I actually do currently use an AMD64 3200+ as a heater. It's 30 or so out there, my dorm heater's broken and it's Thanksgiving break so I can't get it repaired. So, I just leave my laptop on at night. Believe it or not, it's getting warm enough that I just decided to open a window. Either I'm missing something, or this thing runs way too hot.
Actually, it's a bit less than 100%. There are over 6 billion people who have not succumbed to the dread condition. Additionally, since more people are born than die at any given time, the fatality rate of death is actually dropping. I'd put it at 60% or so, but I have no numbers whatsoever to justify that.
Isn't it clear? Death is (so far) not a universally fatal condition!
To be fair, Digg and Slashdot aren't really competing with each other; they have different attractions. Sure, digg has great news (hell, I read it regularly), but let's face it: Slashdot has crap news. It's late, articles are misleading, there's dupes, etc. That's not why I'm going here. I go here for the comments. Sure, there's trolls, but the mod system works pretty well, and it attracts a lot of qualified people with a tendency to know what they're talking about. No other site offers anything close. Digg doesn't even have a moderation system...
Slashdot has nothing to fear- no one can match its comments. To be fair, though, Digg will probably keep growing- it's a great news site.
If it's any consolation, there's an increasing trend among people I know. This sample is heavily biased towards college students, but there's significant agreement that:
1. The system's currently fatally flawed/infected/whatever. 2. We need to do something (fix it/leave/other).
Admittedly, this is heavily biased towards particularly geeky college students (although it seems to apply to most slashdot readers), but it's still interesting to note and fairly promising.

Minor, but essential correction to that: most people do not want to move to it and are currently thinking in a way that promotes oneself. This means that implementing a Communist government is effectively impossible unless you can somehow manage to make it volunteer-only. It would work admirably well after that, but few people would willingly give up all their stuff. It's just how people have been taught to think. It could probably be changed in a generation or two, but for now, it's like that.
It doesn't fail horribly in practice, it's merely essentially impossible to implement properly at this time. Sounds like a nitpick, but it's important.
1. Both parties are problematic. I don't want either; both sides love to take away my rights. Our foreign policy may have changed, but that isn't what I was referring to.
2. One particular oddity that I don't believe game theory covers is that, about 50 years ago, third parties were routinely getting 20% of the vote. Now, they get far less. (If that is explained through game theory, please tell me. I am currently majoring in applied math, and although i haven't touched game theory yet I can probably pick up enough to understand fairly quickly)
There are Americans that agree with you there, but we can't really do anything. The two political parties are essentially interchangeable (the only real difference being the rights they are currently attacking), and for some odd reason people refuse to vote for third parties, so we can't exactly get rid of the problem. Every time we invoke reason, someone says "OMG TERRORISTS", and reason goes out to lunch.
Many of us do get it, but what good can we do when no one's willing to vote in change and the system is rigged anyways?
If someone has an idea, please respond. I know a lot of people who might be able to make some difference.
I'm not exactly an ordinary case, but I was homeschooled and took the standardized tests, so I might as well speak up. I know a few other homeschooled kids, and although they didn't take the tests, they seem to have had a similar education.
I always got in the 90th percentile or higher in every subject, taking the tests 2-3 years ahead of time. I, along with most of the others I know, got into an exceptional high school a year early based solely off merit.
This is probably a stupid question, but it's still bothering me. Why can't we just emulate windows, pretending we have compliant hardware, and use some trivial method to grab the resulting video?
As far as I can tell, they've been offering invites to random users for a while. They offered me one once, and I know a couple people who also noticed it. Someone brought it up here before, but I'm too busy with finals to look it up.
For some odd reason, only one beverage universally results in loss of keyboard: Mountain Dew. All other spills can be fixed by washing the board and letting it dry, but they never properly recover from Dew.

Binary? I thought we were supposed to count MOD 2. If they think there's a shortage, we get paid more, right?

In support of your argument against intelligent software design, I reference Microsoft software.
I rest my case.

Just for the record, I would pay a large sum of money to see someone get a negative score in golf.

See, there are plenty of possibilities.

Right before i noticed this story, I updated PG2. It had a new blocklist and program update. Anyone else notice this?
Holy water? This is slashdot, we can do better.
Get me the holy thermite and holy railguns!
Two points that you may have missed.

Just my two cents.
This is probably a stupid question, but it's still bothering me. Why can't we just emulate windows, pretending we have compliant hardware, and use some trivial method to grab the resulting video?
If not, what am i missing?
Wow, that guy has some pretty freaky stuff. Some of it is just sick, though.
As far as I can tell, they've been offering invites to random users for a while. They offered me one once, and I know a couple people who also noticed it. Someone brought it up here before, but I'm too busy with finals to look it up.
Hope that explains
Get Adblock already. It solves that problem quickly and easily.

Anyone else experience this?
They aren't? Shit... at least that explains the smell
