    Third, if you're involved in a 130km/h accident, chances are the only insurance that's going to matter is life insurance.

  2. Re:Consoles always been cheaper on NVIDIA Quad SLI Disappoints · · Score: 1

    Heh, until last month I was still using a Pentium III-800MHz, running Windows 98. With a 15" CRT monitor to boot :). Then decided to finally upgrade, spent $1k on components for the system and now just got a $200 19" LCD. Just wish the LCD's colors were as good as the good old Sony Trinitron..... Ah well, this system will hopefully last me another 8 years or so with minor upgrades, though from stories the WD HDD may die soon enough... Maybe I should've shelled out an extra $60 and taken the time to set up RAID1....

    It's $200 for a core 2 duo now (3GHz e8400 can be found for that price).

    I suggest you videotape the phenomenon and publish it online so that slashdot scientists can perform an in depth study of the hyperentanglement properties.

    So that's what Dark Matter is made out of! Um, we better not use the smelloscope when it's finally invented....

  8. Re:Easy solution: hard copy on Why Your e-Books Are No Longer Yours · · Score: 1

    Can't they just make DRM transferable? As long as there's only one working copy of the work at a time, that should be fine with them, no? You would be able to resell/transfer the license to another party, but your own copy would become invalid in the process. Same for transferring it to any other DRM-compatible device you own.

    True, but some religions seem to have way more extremists, both total and per capita, than others...

    I would almost care, if I didn't think pedos deserve it.

    Let's get something straight. Being a pedo isn't a crime, it's a condition. Acting on those pedo urges is a crime.

    Still agree though that the FBI should have made sure the hits were coming from *that* website and not any other source with a different file description.

    I can see it now, thousands of FBI agents descending on Mircrosoft, Google and Yahoo for spidering those urls.

    horribly written, poorly acted, comparatively dirt cheap shows like Atlantis

    Hmm, does this mean Janny Wurst did most of the writing for the Empire trilogy she coauthored with Raymond E. Feist? Seems she only had one book of her own come out before the first of the trilogy. If this is true, than I should definitely read more of her stuff as the Empire books are my favorite of all the Midkemia/Riftwar related material.

    Does that mean there will be an Authors Gone Wild version of this?
