I'm not so worried about the taking of the bits as I am with the processing of the bits and bytes. I mean, you don't want a mistake like the old Intel Pentium chips back in '94, where the math is all wrong and everything. I mean, that's what a computer is for, right? Processing bits and bytes?

Oh crap, you were talking about women? Dang, and I thought this was slashdot.
I think it actually used the shock detection that is meant to prevent damage to the hard drive. I find that ironic. Either way, here is the video. There's also links to a few different versions of the idea, such as IBM thinkpads, Nokia Phones, and a similar concept based on a shadow sensor. There's also been a Slashdot article on this topic.
I would guess the -1 mod is because it's a direct copy of this post. All comments from this user are copy/paste of high rated posts that are from another user later in the discussion, but reposted as a reply to the first post.
Between your comment, and your parents, I just had a horrible thought. What if the RIAA copyrighted the junk files it's paying people to distribute? I mean, they can give permission to the people they are paying to distribute it, but no permission to the people distributed to. So really, you might be able to be sued for distributing the junk files. I have no legal background, so perhaps this is a bunch of crap, but it is a horrible idea, I think. On a side note, wouldn't it be ironic if someone was attempting to download some pop music, and got a junk file, but liked the junk file better than what they attempted to download? I'd suppose with some of the crap that is out there, that a junk file has a decent chance at being better.
Which will be fixed first, the voting machines, or the ATM's? That's a no-brainer. The one that gets officials elected, and the one that provides the very essence of what makes our government work. The ATM, of course!
Not necessarily. It seems that there is a movie scheduled to come out in 2008 that is a Star Trek Prequel. Also, I think that Star Trek: Enterprise was (is?) set before all the rest of the TV series'. I guess it could go either way.
I'd pay in pennies, as their weight/value ratio is high. By my calculations, assuming that a penny weighs 3.04 grams according to wikipedia, and 12 pounds = 5443.10844 grams according to google calculator, 12 pounds of pennies would be about 1790 pennies or about $17.90. Still more than I'd like to pay.
Why would an employer give a credit card to someone who they think might give it out? If they were going to give it out on IM, they would be untrained enough to write the number on a napkin, or tell it to someone over their cell phone while in a public restaraunt. It's not the tools, but the users.
Prime95 is so outdated. Try the latest in prime number finding: The Prime Number Pooping Bear. I won't believe this number until the bear confirms it for me.
I think it's just that people don't want to use that ackronym for fear that it may be misinterpreted. They're trying to avoid being the next target of this hacker. Sorry, that was pretty bad.
I would venture to guess that it's because a normal sword is quite a bit heavier than a lightsaber. I think most people's arms couldn't take that much use of a large chunk of metal. Also, the adrenaline built up by repeatedly stabbing Jar-Jar would be enough to keep any geek going.
Yes, I know that the controller would be the same for both. I'm only adding this because my sig is frequently ignored, and people seriously respond to sarcasm.
I just got a picture in my head of carpet bombing the Middle East with AOL CD's. Isn't there something in the Geneva Conventions about that? I'm gonna stop before someone gets ideas.

Perhaps they should have stopped there. If ever a quote taken out of context, that's gotta be it.
Link? It's not what you think. I've just got this band holding my radio station hostage, and it's one of their demands.

I have the solution to the clogged tubes

Apparently my Porsche is, too. But it does get 23mpg freeway, so I guess that's not too surprising.

I think for that you need the power glove. It's so bad.
My thought is that the poster of that comment may be implying that A&F has something to do with sweatshops. But perhaps that's just a coincidence.

I think if anyone would know, it would be you, Captain.
I believe that due to backward compatibility, the first sound you hear is, in fact, the sound of Windows breaking.
Man, I was hoping your imdb link went here. The whole promoted through high school without learning to read or do math made me think of it.

Copy + Paste.

I just tried that with Pulp Fiction, and it made much more sense than watching it in order. Thanks for the tip.
That has to be about the most insightful thing I've ever seen here on Slashdot. And, of course, you got modded funny.
But would you rather be a morphine addict or a WOW addict?
