What if _I_ sell your house for $20? In that case, yes, you can come back later and claim fraud--I didn't own your house.
Note: I didn't RTFA, it seems to be/.ed already. But that seems to be what the summary makes it sound like.
What's really bad is that it's impossible to differentiate between two APs with the same SSID. My internet connection has gone out, and two neighbors have a network named 'linksys'--one is WEP-encrypted, and the other is open. Trying to connect to the open one mostly brings up a WEP password prompt. Argh, I don't want THAT linksys!
Perhaps, but when I was 14, the PC was in my dad's office only, and only really knows how many times I snuck on the PC at night and beat off right there in my dad's chair.
I was recently in this predicament--I downloaded an episode of HBO's Entourage and I forgot to have PeerGuardian on. HBO contacted my ISP, Cox, and had my internet access disabled. I called Cox up and they had no clue why my internet was out, and after jumping through hoops with an idiot tech who kept wanting me to change router settings, a tech was scheduled to come out a week later, until a day before he was supposed to come they called me up and said they disabled my acccess. Idiots. I had a legit subscription to HBO, but I was penalized. I don't blame HBO because they had my IP address, not my full contact information, so I doubt they could know that I was indeed paying them, but it was still very annoying nonetheless.

Instead of "macintosh" set it for "mac." Now you get way more mac searches than ubuntu searches.
I don't know about others (well, actually I do, since I've seen that chart), but whenever I'm searching for Mac stuff, I search for "mac" not "macintosh."
Apple seems to call it "mac" more than "macintosh" anyway.
Use your own operating system. Something like Anonym OS will keep you safe, and you permanently change nothing. Just make sure that there are no hardware keyloggers, but that would make you REALLY paranoid...
Great idea that Louisiana should come up with a way to pay for New Orleans flood protection. We'll start paying for New Orleans, y'know, when the federal government lets the state have the offshore oil revenue royalties it deserves like it does for other gulf coast states. If the feds didn't take what's rightfully ours, we wouldn't have to ask the feds for money.
And your way is just a suggestion by an Anonymous Coward. The creator of Aluminum himself named it "Aluminum," logically, because it came from the mineral alumina.
Uranus is the Latin version of the Greek Ouranos, which was one of the primordial gods.
Seeing as all of the planets except Earth are named after the Roman gods, astronomers were probably thinking something along the lines of continuity.
First of all, Cox, the cable provider here in New Orleans would have won the contract regardless as Nagin was a VP for Cox Communications before he was the Mayor of New Orleans. Also, whether they use 802.11b or 802.11g doesn't matter, as the access is going to be 512kbits down while the city is in a state of emergency, and when it returns to a normal state the access is going to drop to 128kbits for legal reasons. The hardware was donated to the city and is most likely 11g anyway, so why not use it?
This sort of network is crucial to the rebuilding effort because it blankets the entire city with access via a mesh network. The access points are going to be mounted on street lights, so besides providing the actual internet access to a few major crucial nodes, all the access points really need is electricity.
I don't think BellSouth has to worry too much because all they are going to lose is the dialup and low end market. 128kbits is only going to let you browse the web and check your email. Businesses can't rely on such connections for their offices, and aren't intended to. This is mainly so people working in the field can pull up things from the internet quickly with a laptop, or so workers can submit data collected in the field to their main office without having to go there physically. BellSouth will still have the business market.
Also this wifi system is only for Orleans parish, and BellSouth will still have the business of surrounding St. Bernard, Plaquemines, and especially Jefferson parishes; they will have the Northshore, too. Jefferson is larger than Orleans and at this point is more important to businesses such as BellSouth because Jefferson didn't have the major flooding that Orleans did.
This is impossible! My math teacher in high school told me that this is impossible because the ratio of mass to surface area is too great, preventing the animal from dissipating heat or providing for the body, therefore dying out. Elephants have a low mass to surface area ratio in their trunks, so they're okay, but king kong doesn't have a trunk.
Yeah, I'm just sputtering something I vaguely remember from high school...
Sega v. Accolade in the Genesis days determined that if a display of a trademark is required for the software to boot, it is legal to display it and boot even if the trademark isn't correct.
Also, in the bottom right quadrant of the screen, a developer can insert an image at the same time as the Trademark Sega text is shown. Unnofficial developers such as bleem! (The commercial PSX emulator for DC) used this space to insert an image that basically says "-- Ignore that information right there, it's not true"
That is most certainly not true. There are plenty of homebrew games developed specifically for the Dreamcast. Emulators tend to be the choice for people because they do the most, so they get the most attention, but homebrew games are still being developed.

Officially, yes, the system is dead. But we're Slashdotters--since when does anything official apply to us?

It's called counterculture. It's equal to people slagging a popular band for "selling out."

That was supposed to be "whatever deity you believe in" only really knows how many times..."

As much as I'd like to be, I guess I really shouldn't be surprised at the amount of Uranus jokes on Slashdot. What, are we 10 now?

Nevermind, the intended link is in the submitters's webpage. Here it is: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=1603466&pa ge=1&ad=true

I think you're correct. I'm running Windows XP x64 Professional Coroporate and it tells me I need Windows XP.

But TigerDirect is #2 on a Google search for 'tiger'... what are they talking about?
The emulator is loaded into RAM and then the emulator loads a ROM file from the CD.
Pirate groups learned to get around the boot-CD a long time ago. The group Echelon created a self-booting toolkit in 2001.
