space robots are super cheap. they don't have to be strong, a tiny gyro can unstuck one from almost any postion it can get itself into, and their onboard computers don't really need to be that fast since without gravity to deal with in navigation you can use more naive pathing algorithms since you can do things like jump a 40 foot gap or climb a wall.
the hard part is making sure the circuits can handle the extra radiation, and the Russians already can do that.
Bad memory crashes ALMOST everything, a real mainframe will detect and work around the error, then call home to report the need for a tech to come out and replace the module, then the tech come out and replaces the module without shutting down the machine.
no thanks on the baking, sounds fun but i like my job well enough, i don't have 5 computers but i do have 4, all licensed properly. 3 are windows XP Pro, one is an asus eeePC running xandros
wow, you really shouldn't go around admitting that.
by the way, i have a bridge for sale real cheap and i am trying to smuggle my family fortune out of nigeria and would like your assistance in doing so, you will be well rewarded for your efforts assisting me good sir.
dude, TightVNC is free and it also doesn't suck, which is more than i can say about remote desktop (every time the server machine boots it seems to make a randomized decision on whether or not to allow remote connections without first requiring a local login then fast user switch lock.
the republicans run up the worst federal debt ever with a disaster of a war and the consolidation of federal law enforcement into the inept department of homeland security and yet the democrats are dedicated to bureaucracy!?
pass the cool-aid and the crack when you're done with it man.
long term infiltration is standard MO for Scientology, and given previous encounters between/. and Scientology i am quite suspicious of such sparsly posting accounts suddenly active in this thread alone after almost a year without posting. http://slashdot.org/~Kyokugenryu
not a sock puppet, but possibly a Scientologist operative.
entirely possible, anonymous isn't any more cohesive than any random selection of internet users, it's just the timing that is quite suspicious. quite possibly the most morally reprehensable thing anonymous has been alleged to be involved in a mere 2 months after doing so much damage to the reputation and internal stability (sources from inside CoS have reported a massive increase in spontaneous brick manufacture since the raids started) of CoS and particularly threatening the position of RTC and Sea Org.
you are the 4th or 5th person with a low post count asserting that Scientology could not possibly have done this and that they aren't afraid of anonymous.
i wonder how hard it would be to hack a display adapter to prevent seizures, make every frame change spread across enough time that a flashing pattern would instead become just a muddled gray or brown spot
hey kid, go back to doing your homework or something, those "gamer" ports are called MIDI ports and were meant for musical instruments. they also happened to be conveniently easy to use as a gaming interface.
my completely uneducated guess would be a single particle annihilation, a bit of the proton would get ripped off and in the process energy would be released moving the rest of the proton's remains away from the black hole.
earth's core isn't super dense. if we had a neutron star nearby and someone wanted to aim a hardon collider at it, i would be worried, till then not so much
if you are throwing information up on screen in a serif font, you are doing it wrong. Serif fonts, like TNR are for the printed page, sans-serif is for on screen.

well i sure as hell hope they don't bring up their impeller drives in the dock, that would kill everyone.

you probably shouldn't be buying lots of 5000 lithium batteries, iodine, and Sodium Hydroxide on ebay
google checkout already did appear, it works great, unfortunately ebay has banned google checkout for being a threat to their paypal buisness

i run MW3 on my windows XP laptop, though i wish i could remember what hax i used to get it working 'cause i can't get it working on my new desktop.
no thanks on the baking, sounds fun but i like my job well enough, i don't have 5 computers but i do have 4, all licensed properly. 3 are windows XP Pro, one is an asus eeePC running xandros
you bought four copies of vista.
wow, you really shouldn't go around admitting that.

unfortunately remote assistance is even more Failsome than RDP, the first thing RA asked me was for a fucking MSN Messenger account.

you know why anti-drug advertising is great? because without it you couldn't smoke a bowl while wearing a DARE hoodie (with sewn in stash pocket)

a pattern emerges
the pattern says go back to clearwater
all other races? so what race is anonymous anyways? all photos i ever saw were green, or simply not available.
you forgot meatspin

mainframes aren't optomized for that, but it will be the most accurately calculated game of Quake II ever played.
