There is an ad for the "Robots" movie in the third quarter, but no ad for "Nationwide" or did he mean nationwide? There doesn't seem to be anything involving kids and a garage either.
I guess it sounds more exciting to call them "solar cells," but obviously they're light sensors. If they were originally developed for use in solar electricity production, that should be in article, not the headline. "Matters for Nerds. Stuff that News!"
I imagine he wrote an applescript with a little clickable icon so that he doesn't have to go to a terminal and type c-r-o-n. Perhaps a dubious achievement, but if it makes him happy...
Fortunately PC power supplies don't run continually at maximum wattage. Even if it didn't have sleep mode, its still quite reasonable, as long as you weren't running an office full of "PC phones." Compare to a refridgerator/freezer, which is always on.
you could have pre-recorded lessons and audiobooks on an mp3 player. What are you going to plug a monitor into, anyways? Also, poor farmers can be very competitive, unless you're talking about farmers manipulating market prices, I'm not sure how communications will save them money
Mini comes with S-video adapter

Mac mini to PC Hack
·
· Score: 2, Informative
The mini comes with an S-Video/composite adapter, a TV-out adapter for a little extra, just like their laptops.
Its big selling point is not its size, or even price, but that it works out of the box, with decent (relative to others at least) tech support. I'd like to see it compared to XBox2 instead of a PC, in fact I hope it catches on as a kind of TVpod- a dedicated media player for HDTV
Darwin works on x86. I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to experiment. "better way then to go" might be transliterated Japanese- All your base belong to us!
"Brittain is a big slap in the face to the whole population density perspective on why the west sucks at infrastructure upgrades..."
Isn't it because of obfuscated sentences and clumsy mispellings? Call me ignorant, but I have no idea what perspective you're talking about..
You have a valid point, but... Corruption in large, especially large multinational corporations, is perhaps, a larger $ problem, and should be more of a priority. For reasons you touched upon, there are seperate issues for NGOs, and though some institutions hide behind rules, there are valid reasons to give extra protection to them. BTW you know there are "anti-corporate" right-leaners. Perhaps there is a better way to categorize people's economic thinking in these divisive times.
If not troll, than maybe flamebait? I voted Libertarian myself. If a liberal posted sarcastically, "And Bush is our rightful president" wouldn't that be flamebait? Actually, I have about equal lack of confidence regarding both EMI and Bush's legitimacy as president. I first thought the original post might have been sarcastic, but now it seems a bit ironic.
"Anyone without a strong root password is likely to have a strong root password provided for them by an 'outside consultant'"
That would be funnier if it didn't follow:"Yes, of course it's the right cable [le0: NO CARRIER]"
"Outside consultants" usually don't care about machines with no network access- even if they can break in and get it.
I pile my old computer hardware into a wall around the house, and from time to time pour gasoline and light it on fire. A hadware firewall. The neighbors don't appreciate it, but it gives me a lot of security
Actually the above post illustrates a problem- giving highly technical advice to the masses. The above post is imformative, but I don't think it addresses the correct audience. What do you do for a family that does not include a security professional in the household?
"Don't let your children's friends have unlimited access to the computer" might be more appropriate
And linking to the article is so effective in discouraging such behavior! I'm sure the Independent has been thoroughly chastized now that they know you dissapprove of their tactics. I shall be sure to post many such criticisms with links to the site also. That will show them!
If only one side has drones, it sanitizes slaughter entirely too much. It would actually distort the meaning of democracy altogether. I would like to think a "democracy" is a nation where its people would be willing to place their lives in danger to protect their freedoms. Robot armys would seem to me to be a tool for empire building, and of tyranny.
And yet Dawkins suggests the idea in "The Selfish Gene," and certainly the article's writer was imagining Darwin's reaction in these terms. Why is he against its use, and "essential overuse?" It seems fairly harmless in this context.

OC, the TV show on Fox, stands for Orange County, California. There's a link to it in the box next to the article. Its utter shite.
Wouldn't it be more practical to introduce non- PC technologies?
You could even set up darWine or some other sort of emulator on it and tell people its a prototype for the XBox 2. Nah..., that's just too evil!

If you're going to list the MST3K titles, give them some credit! This site manages to cheer me up http://www.archive.org/movies/movies.php
"Microsoft has attributed the rise in earnings to... more XBox units being sold." Wow! Is this credible?

My humor is obviously so much more valuable than pr0n.

This is informative, but you should have responded to the parent, not the troll, and certainly not used the quote.
