Well thanks for the insight professor.. I guess you skipped English class though, note the word "almost".. And you're wrong anyways, I was only talking about surface friction in that sentence, there are other types, such as air friction..
Oh and BTW: The players crash into the wall all the time due to the LOW surface friction.. Man your 1 sentence is wrong on so many levels it's funny..
Instead look at the physics of HOCKEY! Now there is something interesting.. A 250lbs player moving on a surface at 45km/h with almost 0 friction, hitting another 220lbs player into the boards traveling in the opposite direction, cause X joules of energy to be transferred to the glass..:D
Well how about to download the patches??? Besides, I've got many unpatched boxes that have internet access, but it doesn't matter since my router blocks all inbound requests...
So what's the waste generated from this? Obviously CO2, but what else? Is it considered "clean" energy? Is used poop as good at fertilizing as new poop? Would it work with human poop? Can I build a small version myself? Are their poop bylaws? (I can cover my lawn with poop after all..). And most importantly, does it run Linux??
Too bad I'll need a new computer that comes with the kitchen sink to run it..
The screen shots look suspiciously similiar to Half-Life 2 though, what's up with that? Even some of the monsters look HL1 like. I have a feeling this isn't going to have nearly the popularity as Doom1 did (well it might but that'll just be riding there fame). It's kinda like movie sequels, you're so excited about a new edition, but then it always ends in disappointment..
If HL2 and Doom3 battled I wonder who would win? I wonder if the fundamentals of the game will be the same between the two, and if Worldcraft (or hammer) is going to work on both as well?
And what's with the $10 for an hour or $30 for the whole flight? 99% of laptops don't have more then a 2 hour battery life, and I have met maybe 3 people that actually carry spare batteries so what good is the $30??
And if so, hopefully this will start a price war, and reduce the number of those crappy iPods. One can only wish! Or Sony will crank up the prices and prove that the RIAA is as crocked as the OPEC cartel..
Adaware is great, except i've found they've missed many brutal spyware programs before, especially programs that deeply imbed themselves in other programs (such as Windows Media Player, very common). SpyBot seems to miss a few as well, although normally not as many as Adaware. After running Adaware and Spybot on a few heavily effected computers, I think installed the new Norton Antivirus 2004 + Internet Security, and it found 9-15 OTHER missed spyware programs.. Of course, to fix them all I would have to boot on the disk and run it seperately..blah!
I've found installing NetScape also helps greatly, as it blocks many malicious pop-up ads. Normally when I'm asked to configure a computer for someone, the last step is to delete shortcuts to IE and install Netscape as the default, people are wierded out at first (I've never seen this browser before! "It's great!"), but after a while they swear by it too.
My brother recently brought a computer I gave him just maybe 5 months ago, home from University for me to inspect, because of "poor performance' (P4 @ 2.6 w/ 1 gig ram, GeForce 4, poor performance? What the hell is he running), well I booted it and opened the task manager, running at 100% NON-STOP, Memory almost maxed, and at least 30 Un-identified programs running. Forget spybot or anything, it's FDISK time! But it gave me some insight into the average user, because he told me he noticed it was running slow, so he uninstalled as many valid programs as possible (of course to no effect), the average user has NO IDEA what's wrong, they just know the thing runs slower then the old Apple II's!
Well, if your launching IM, then you would click YES (It could easily tell you this is a normal port used by IM, or FTP, or StarCraft, or whatever you are expecting)
And if your getting pummelled without even doing anything (i.e. you sit down on the 'puter after work and there is already a warning msg up), you could always put an option "always NO":)
I think that there is no 100% solution, but I certainly think microsoft could be doing a better job, as far as the average "dumb homeuser" is concerned..

You lazy llama, there are only 12 links in this 1 paragraph article! It helps lessen the /. effect if it's balanced across all those links!!
It's boring as physics 101 is..
:D

according to the New York Times (NSA reg. req.),
Well how about not dialing to the internet if your firewall hasn't loaded then???

At least someone saw the humour in that post...
Yes, with a few simple steps:
1. IBM dumps tons of money into marketing Linux (any distro..)
2. IBM upgrades OO..
3. IBM allows blatant pirating of OS, and offer's free (or next to free) training. Pirates = Free training..
4. IBM reduces price of x desktop model that comes with Linux.
5. IBM sell's business licenses because now it's desktop version is well known to market/consumers/PHB's..
6. Profit!
1. Work for free.
2. ???
3. Profit!
Bah no doubt you bought that UID on Ebay.. I mean who has a 5 digit UID with no Karma bonus?!
Would a metric discussion of PAPER be taken this far/seriously.. Only on /.
This is stuff that matters? Too WHO?!
Ummm the FLA incident had nothing to do with e-voting?! In fact, with e-voting that kind of confusion wouldn't have happened....
No no no.. I meant, human poop creates methane, so could you use it to produce power!!
(Human urine is used for fertilizer in China..)
So what's the waste generated from this? Obviously CO2, but what else? Is it considered "clean" energy? Is used poop as good at fertilizing as new poop? Would it work with human poop? Can I build a small version myself? Are their poop bylaws? (I can cover my lawn with poop after all..). And most importantly, does it run Linux??
Apparently you didn't click on the link... Unless their global dimming is somehow being cause by gay ni***rs...

Haha, good one..

Exactly! I wonder if this is going to blow up in there face? Haha, RIAA!
And why the hell was my post modded flamebait? It was 100% true! Oh right, I bashed an Apple product... Well no bias here, please move along!!
So will the Sony store still be selling music for 99 cents as reported by slashdot in this article:

lmao, that's the first time anyone has ever told me I'm not paranoid 'nouf! Thanks man, you really made my day!
.EXE'S and DLL'S, so maybe I am paranoid 'nouf! BAhAHHHah
ps- If you hook the TCP stack, how is nmap going to help you??!

Pittsburgh is well known to NYT, most editors vacation in Mars, or Moon (slightly north of Pitt's)..
Amsterdam is close to that size..
