What would be really cool is an iPod port because iPod is awesome and it has a screen, a processor, and some kind of scroll wheel with clickable buttons.
Be nice, he doesn't know any better. Remember, he's an amiga user.
1000 posts a day on slashdot that look like they were created by an epileptic monkey, and you go psychotic on this guy over the difference betwen "its" and "it's"...
You're thinking raid-1, mirroring. This is raid-0, striping. One drive goes (or even connect them incorrectly...), you lose everything without hope for recovery.
Taking that into account, I'm surprised McDonalds and all the other fast food places aren't doing everything in their power to promote biodiesel. It's another great advertising avenue, and they could make money by selling biodiesel made from their exaust.
Yeah, it's just another way for companies to keep the rights on the products they sell you, depriving you of fair use. It also ensures a steady revenue stream and eliminates people buying used hardware from others, or 3rd part hardware, which deprives them of their god given right to profits.

Shelfspace is one thing, this is more like store employees carrying the item for you all the way to your house VS lining it with lead weights that you couldn't remove till you got home.
On a tatally unrelated note, anyone know the required force to send a 300lb object into orbit, how much C-4 would be required to achieve that, and where can I order some?
The problem is, unions started as a way to give the workers a voice against businesses that would exploit them. Without laws to help them, unions would be useless.
Unfortunatly, as with all power, those who have it are corrupted by it.
Don't worry, people will be there to take your money. They'd never let those workers strike, it's bad for business. You might not get service durring that time, but they'll gladly take your money.
Plans are already in motion to connect one of these generators to the offices of SCO, the RIAA, and the whitehouse. We'll be foreign oil free within a week!
After all, if SCO does it, gets sued, and settles, it's funny and bad and an illustration of how evil SCO is.
But when a pirate does it, gets sued, and settles, somehow it's evil that the RIAA sued in the first place and the pirate is the good guy martyr.
Bit different here, the pirate you speak of isn't sueing the MPAA, claiming ownership of "millions of lines" taken from their failed movie script and added into every blockbuster movie ever made by 90% of the movie studios.
I'm sorry, but it's my understanding that RFID tags are "dumb" transmitters only capable of sending a single payload.
See, public/private key systems work great for variable payloads, since the computer at the other end will expect something different every time. So if I were to grab a single packet from your encrypted file transfer, I can't alter that one packet and send it over and over to your computer, expecting your computer to create an altered file from it. RFID, on the other hand, will always transmit the same payload at all times, encrypted or no. So all I have to do is record that payload, then I can program another chip with it and no reciever will know the difference, because my forged ship is sending exactly what the origional will always send.
True, but we're already producing a decent amount of usable oil as it is, so it's not like we're going to have to suddenly start growing ALL the oil needed for biodiesel.
Right now we could turn all that waste oil into biodiesel as an additive, decreasing our dependence on regular oil and saving on disposal costs of that oil (infact, fast food places could make money off selling their oil instead of dumping it, win-win for everyone but opec).
Unless I'm mistaken, you can make biodiesel from used oil, like from fry vats at fast food places. Might as well use that oil instead of letting it go to waste like it does now.

You apparently not realising when I started making that post, you hadn't made your retraction.
Don't get so defensive just because I type slowly.

This is quite a big geekier if you ask me.
Striping floppies to get better speed and storage...
That's how I'm doing it. So far so good!

Too much, too invasive, too quick.
Isn't that the famous last words of the Dodo bird?

Not so weak, it's 4294967296 times as powerful!
Even better, stick a tiny windmill on their helmets. The troops in basic would NEVER run out of power.
Laptops, wireless cards, steering wheel joysticks, and some friends.
Screw those little RC toys. Snag control of cars as they drive past and have races around the block!
I can get you out of the atmosphere, cheap!

You can bet the engineers are working non-stop to develop a touch screen control version of this.

Dolphins are cute, rats aren't, especially big ones.
That depends on how many Newtons your car weighs.
Fig or strawberry?
