Take this a bit further. Why not always bundle the CPU and motherboard. If I want to upgrade my CPU today, I have to upgrade the motherboard anyway....
You got it backwards, dude. KamaSutra is the first argument for any Wife-object. It's not that it doesn't compile, it is the Kernel Panic that's the problem...
Why not outsource the whole courtsystem? With todays teleconferencing tech, the jugde could come from India and a couple of Canadians could provide security in the courtroom....
You must be missing the point. Cellphones can easily be modded using software made by the whoever made the phone, or by someone else. Can you design your own styles for the Xbox?
1. Mail local politician and ask for something, get nice letter in reply. 2. Decode info hidden in letter. 3. Create Communist, Satanist and other anti-government propaganda with fake, hidden info. 4.??? 5. Profit!
In other news, the makers of Viagra, Pfizer, is suing Korea for copyright infringement. An official is quoted saying: "Only we are the makers of medication which makes sensation return to long-dormant limbs."
It has also been used by PR agents with great success to utilize b/B. I.e. Sony Playstation One was marketed with 8Mb Video RAM and 16Mb Main RAM in Norway back in the good old days. Sony has of course changed this to Mbit on their current website http://www.us.playstation.com/consoles.aspx?id=1/i nfo/415007665.html
BEWARE NORWAY!
Do not forget that our prime minister took several weeks sick leave "because of mental issues", specifically depression. Like the top dogs in countries like Iran and Libya he is originally a priest. He has a fetish for taxes, and has taxed such things as driving with studded tires in some cities in a country split in two by the polar circle, increased taxes on petrol to an all time high of 11 kroner ($1.80) per liter!
Yes, actually. The main reason for harddrives to fail is heat. This many SCSI drives generate massive amounts of heat, and when one fail the rest have to work harder...more heat and greater risk of another one failong.
On a another not if the mean time before failure is 10 years with one disk, the chance of one disk failing in this setup is 10/16 = 7.5 months. Given the heat problem, I wouldn't bet pennies for dollars for this to last a full year.
I have done this myself with several drives, and it has a 80% success rate. No weird sounds==error on PCB.
For all those other kind of drives, throw them in the freezer for 10 minutes. This can get them going long enough to copy all the important stuff from them. When it heats up it will fail again, so be quick about it...
The fun part is, you can charge customers A LOT of money for doing this to their dead drive.

This idea is good, but not radical enough. What I want is a laptop with a slow (but fast enough for surfing and word) cool CPU, plenty of RAM (some for use as a ramdrive), and not-so-power-hungry harddisk and cd-rom. Such a machine shouldn't cost more than $200-$300 and run on battery power for at least 15-20 hours before a recharge.

200 CDs a week? No problem. Listening to the recent Top 20 lists though, I think they may have cut the "merchandise" i bit too thin.

I for one welcome our old teacher overlords!
Yes, of course! Vodka and orange juice!
When you find them, I'll tell you where you can post them. Ahhh, the days of stuffed-and-taped envelopes with floppies...

This would be fun:
1. Mail local politician and ask for something, get nice letter in reply.
2. Decode info hidden in letter.
3. Create Communist, Satanist and other anti-government propaganda with fake, hidden info.
4.???
5. Profit!

You insensitive cold! When I was young we didn't have viruses, we only had bugs (http://www.jamesshuggins.com/h/tek1/first_compute r_bug.htm).

Much easier to encode all video and audio using DRM, and SUE THE BASTARDS when they try to circumvent it.
For added protection create a region system, where you only allow the content to be played in your buildings.
Why dot we just buy Microsoft, and open source everyting? It's not like we do not have the cash to do this...

Opera 8 is available from http://www.download.com/. Let's try to /. those guys :-)
Gee, thanks! I was just missing the word "buzzword" in my bingo game! http://isd.usc.edu/~karl/Bingo/

Thanks for understanding me. Isn't this /.? I though us geeks ought to be able to hold two thoughts in our heads at the same time!
