May 6th was yesterday. I'm a big fan of Slashdot, and usually disagree with people that bad mouth editors and what not. I don't troll about speling or gramur.. but not knowing what day it is? The funny thing is, that this has happened to me twice today already.. Heard a radio ad for a concert on May the 6th on my way home from a post midnight Taco Bell run.. Crazyness.
I've fixed several ps2s with such problems, and even got a free one that way. More likely than not yours is caused by the same thing that causes most of them.. Google for ps2 disc read error and you'll find plenty of sites providing instructions on how to repair it it. The problem is so common that Tech TV/G4 or whatever it is now even had a page about it. As long as you're patient, it's easy to fix, just going to take a bit of time.
A little late here, but I just metamoderated something from this topic..
I started using Gentoo because I heard it was a good way to learn a lot about linux.. Turns out, it was a great way. I learned a lot about using the command line, different tools, editing config files, and much more. I went from trying to figure out how to change the wallpaper in my Mandrake install to compiling custom kernels in very little time. Granted, there have been some challeneges along the way with things not compiling, but all in all, I've learned a great deal.
I hear they're moving away from some of the low level installs like I started out with however.. At least I learned while the learning was good:)
What kind of measurement is that? Why can't we use something everyone understands like u-haul trucks full of dvd's driving 100 kilometers per fortnight*10^(-6)?
For the uninitiated, that's a microfortnight.
I don't use windows a lot anymore.. especially for writing any sort of code.. I think the last thing I used was Kate since it had syntax highlighting.. But, I'm sure I'll check it out at some point.. Thanks:)
Since I can't look at the screenshots.. Did they do a major redesign to add features in an effort to make it closer to Photoshop/Gimp or does it have the same functionality? Paint was one of only two windows programs I could really count on. The other was notepad.
This is clearly Go Daddy trying to do us all a favor. No one likes the dumb mispelling domains with tons of sponsored search links for pr0n, pills, and the such.. This is simply Go Daddy declaring open season on all the parked domains they host.. It's that simple:)
I took history of science.. If you're not careful someone will search your paper and then patent it as an insomnia treatment.
Before you flame me.. I thought the class was interesting.. the reading was much more dull:-p
Access to it anywhere you have an internet connection. Not everyone has a laptop or pda. Typing events on a cell phone is slow.
The other time we've used one is when we share a calendar at work.. say if one of us is covering interviews for another, we'll use an online calender to prevent overlaps.
I could easily see the government not considering it a monopoly just based on cell phone providers.. Much in the same way that even though I can only get cable television from Cox, they aren't a monopoly because Dish Network and Direct TV provide the same service (i.e. more tv channels) in the same way that Sprint and Cingular and more provide the same service as SBC/ATT does..
I'd make a torrent, but I'm running Gentoo on an 800Mhz Athlon and it's gonna take me a couple of hours to compile Bit Torrent:-/
If the site dies.. I'll give my bandwidth a go:

I had a long talk with a finance manager and long time employee of GM the other day..Basically he explained that while other companies have already made the move to build plants in China, Mexico, and other places where cars can be built cheaper GM is just now being forced to make that move. They waited as long as possible to do it, and maintained American jobs for several years longer than they had to. GM sold 9 million cars last year, of which, only 4 million were sold in the United States.. That means over half of the cars sold weren't sold to Americans.. It only makes sense to close down some plants here and open more in India/China where the market is growing, and if they get life behind there now, there won't be a GM in America or anywhere else.
Can't forget that he had to do most of the work at night while his newborn son was sleeping. Perhaps if he hadn't drank enough of those bottles to come up with the idea of putting a computer in one, he might not have the son and could have built the computer during the day.:)

Features

I haven't been keeping up with the 4.0 branch of GCC, but is 4.0.3 really stable enough for the average home user?
The only thing I could think as I watched the video is that someone is about to call my phone and tell me "Seven Days"
Wow you really got suckered in by that part of the April Fools joke :)
Thank you.
Like when? :)

Slashdot -> Increased Productivity!? Inconceivable!

Hasn't Carnegie Mellon produced at least a couple of similar robots that give tours?
Don't you know anything? It's teh intraweb!

I believe in that case:
Taco Bell == Toxic Hell

Don't hold your breath.
No not really. I was exagerating, and I had to compile 3 other packages before bT :) Total download size was about 4.5 Megs.
