That give the following dimensions: sqrt(2)" x sqrt(2)" x sqrt(2)" (~2.828 cubic inches)
However, I think that the author meant that each side was a 2" by 2" square. In which case I would expect 8 cubic inches.
I agree that text books are becoming increasingly expensive. I currently take 2-3 classes every two months in addition to some certification studying. A number of my textbooks due include an electronic copy. However, as much as I like the electronic copy, I also like to physically flip through the pages. I guess until I find an e-book reader that I like, I'm stuck with hard copy.
I use an ergonomic keyboard as well. I have been using the same style for almost a decade, but I am trying to find a replacement as this keyboard is no longer made. Fortunately, as I tend to burn through keyboards, I was smart enough to buy a couple at the same time.
Bleh. I did not like taking off stickers for that reason. I found that it was easier to pop all the piece out and put them back in the proper location. That made it harder to detect any tampering. I think that was the only way I was ever able to "solve" a fully scrambled cube.
I am not against my ISP tracking which sites I visit. In fact, I would not mind a summarized list of the sites my family visits and how long they are online. Phone companies automatically track which phone numbers I dial, why cannot it be the same for ISPs?
I am, however, vehemently against sharing that data with other companies. Of course, unless the ISP is providing me with tracking information, any information that they would track would be useless to them unless they do share it with others.
As a.NET developer, I would go to one of Microsoft's sites every day. Since their deployment of Silverlight (and my refusal to install), I will only go once every few months or so.
Geocaching is a good idea. But, for $15 I can play WoW for a month. I couldn't fill up my gas tank for that amount. And if you say anything about walking/riding a bike I'm going to come over there and slap you. Actually, maybe there's a service to do that.:)
Unfortunately, it isn't for the better. Maybe if I stop playing games, get out of the house, exercise, eat properly.... Just one more quest. I swear, this one's the last one.
As someone who has never used a full-drive encrypted, how does this impact hard drive access? Will reads/writes be noticeably slower (assuming a relatively new drive)? Will this affect utilities such as a defragmenter or disk checker? How much slower will boot up be? What about memory or CPU usage?
I am all for more security. But, if it slows my laptop down to the point of un-usability....

I also found the ad effective. I am now seriously craving churros.
with each side measuring around 2 square inches

I downloaded installed it. Right now, that link is for RC3.

More importantly, how can I get my community involved? There are several neighbors of mine that I would like to volunteer for donation.

I've always wanted to know why the wife couldn't have "egg and bacon" or "egg, sausage, and bacon."
No, I did the same thing too.
Yeah, since everything is an image, it is a PITA to copy (quote) text. And, with a 30 second+ load time, it is unusable.

It looks nice and all, but what about the other winners? http://www.core77.com/blog/featured_items/greener_gadgets_design_competition_results_8851.asp
Doctor Who?
Torchwood?
American Idol?
What?!? I've got to stop letting my wife add stuff to the TiVo. :)

Hey, maybe some of us didn't want to RTFA. Thanks for the link though. I can now properly comment on this story without RTFA. :)
Okay, I guess that is slightly more useful than what I've used my Mindstorm kit for.
I think there's a baby seal joke in there somewhere, but I'm not sure. :)

Uh oh. It looks like Africa, Germany, and Columbia are gone too.

Out of curiosity, I wonder how much traffic ITR and similar sites generate when determining if a router/site is up or not.

What we need to do is to get a whole bunch of people to write in to see some PC myths.
Did anyone else misread "MinWin" as McWin?
