You sir are correct, my numbers were wrong. However, I have just looked at one of my paycheck stubs and I paid $50.23 in total taxes on a $412(before tax) paycheck, and this was one of the larger ones. Note that this is also in California, so state taxes are included as well. A look at my final paycheck in December of that year shows I paid $450 in taxes total from June 13 of the same year(my first year there). A far cry from my original posted number, but still far less than my $100 refund. So I officially apologize for using numbers from my head that were inflated from my poor memory and not checking them with reality.
I worked 25-35 hours a week when I was 16 and 17, and out of a $400 bi-weekly check I paid at least $50-$100 in Social Security tax. Come tax day, I got $100 back both years. Bullshit you get it back, the government stole my money.
I'm a vim user, so I really wouldn't know, but I believe there is an emacs plugin/macro/whatever called "viper" that is basically a mix of vi and emacs.
no, it is actually pretty biased, as thats the only slashdot joke on objective c i've seen on slashdot, yet without further investigation it see if there are others, its all I have to go on, and therefore, I am biased. and it is my objective opinion that I am biased:)
May I also recommend adding Persuader to that list, especially the first album, if you can find it anywhere. I think amazon has the re-released version nowadays.
I'd like a laptop basically the same as an X60s, except with a full-size keyboard(meaning backspace and \ need to be bigger), and a built-in video camera, like how the macbooks have it. And probably the option of having an ultrabay w/o the stupid dock.
In that pic it says that it is capable of MMX, SSE, SSE2, and SSE3. I highly doubt that picture is true, seeing as how PII's only had MMX. Unless CPU-Z makes some assumptions about that by looking at the clock speed.
I have been using these cards to do much of my online shopping, and from my experience, as long as you get pre-paid(not reloadable) ones, they don't ask you anything. For the reloadable ones, they ask so that they can be sure it is you who is reloading the card or some nonesense.
Regarding sound, these days we have the dmix plugin for alsa, which happens to be enabled by default, so any program that can use alsa can play sounds all at the same time. And if you enable oss emulation, you don't even need alsa support in the app. Its been at least 2 years since I've messed with audio servers, and I agree, its a mess, but alsa is fixed now and all that should be left in the past.
Uh, not that I agree or disagree with the grandparent, but the holocaust was a targeted, conscious effort to kill, which it could be argued that extinctions due to pollution or destruction of habitat is not a concerted effort, just a "natural" byproduct.

You should try the 1.3.x preview release series on cairographics.org. There are a whole bunch of performance improvements, including a new tessellator. Also, cairo's performance on linux is heavily dictated by how well your video card driver supports XRender. I have found that r200 radeons with the new EXA driver acceleration mechanism accelerates cairo, among other things, quite nicely. If you can't use a driver that supports EXA, you can try rendering to a image backend first(which forces software fallbacks) and then drawing that onto your xlib surface, which is usually many times faster than drawing directly to the screen if you don't have decent xrender support.
you don't need to buy two ps3's. You could just buy the cheapest celeron or sempron pc available and it will still be faster than your athlon xp, plus tons cheaper than having two ps3's. And I highly doubt the ps3 is any more AC friendly than an athlon xp, have you seen that fan on that thing?
I have an IBM thinkpad made between the switch from IBM->Lenovo and have had no problem ordering parts straight through Lenovo using FRUs using the web interface. I would assume that they still sell the parts from old IBM thinkpads as well as the new ones.

I paid approximately $100 bi-weekly(each paycheck), and I got back about $100 dollars in federal tax refund.

TFA is very short on details though, so I guess we'll have to wait 'till Blackhat to find out for certain.
why not use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/mem, which could be a potential security risk... just sayin, ya know?
Hey, if you're already using vim, why would you want to taint it with emacs :)

best objc joke on slashot evar.
Yes, but he was comparing linux's performance to how quick OS X works just by opening the lid, which is directly comparable to sleep, not hibernate.
You're suspending to disk, which is why it takes so long. Try suspending to ram, which is what Macs do.

The "ink" in a pencil is graphite, which is consumable, just like the "ink" in a laser printer is toner.

Its not a session manager, either. Its a window manager. And I am also tired of it being used for unrelated subjects.
