It completely ruins the point of having a Mac mini. Frickin' ugly as hell too. I mean, if you want a RAID this badly, leave the beautiful Mac alone and go along with some sort of network storage/fileserver solution. Easier to set-up, candy for the eyes, and a lot less hackish.
Eunuchs would certainly have no problems sitting on one.

Yes, you should. The computer deducted how to play the game on its on. Chess computers like IBM's Deep Blue are programmed how to play chess and beat opponents before playing, and here, the computer doesn't even know how to play; it learns by picking up the sequence of events (the human players say "rock, paper, scissors, who wins or lose") and then forms the ability to play.
Doesn't this seem like A.I.? Rather freaky, to tell you the truth.
Well since it's full of buzzwords, including one I personally loathe, "information superhighway," it seems to be marketed at upper-management positions. But of course...you don't think people with any technical knowledge make descisions on a colo facility do you?
They'll see that Internap has more buzzwords, promises more through huge vagaries (I love the part about traffic jams on the information superhighway!) and a nice little flashy presentation, and they get picked over a facility with a more technical overview.
It's called marketing, my friend. Know your audience.

Been predicted over and over again, but "major inroads"? Linux will grow gradually, but I can't see how he missed a glaring hole: Linux wireless support. My prediction for 2005 would have been wireless drivers for Linux that work just as easily as the built in networking drivers we have now. THEN you can start talking about major inroads, especially on laptops (which I think Linux is more suitable for than the Desktop).
The fourth safe harbor, under section 512(d), protects an ISP when it merely links users to online locations containing infringing material.
So, under the DMCA, ISPs are immune from being sued for linking to copyrighted material. IANAL, but with the recent bittorrent suits, it would seem that this would help. It also seems that if an ISP runs a tracker or a torrent website, they can't be sued under the DMCA...interesting, very interesting.

I think they just made it explicitly legal for the MPAA, RIAA, or BSA to install spyware on your computer to counter copyright infringment. What a shame, a rotten egg in a perfectly good law.
I think it would help overall, since it would be pretty dynamic - the fastest route now has too much traffic, and another empty one opens up that'll save you time, and so on, changing every few moments. So it should pretty much balance itself out, instead of everybody taking the shortest route. Not that I RTFA, though...
That should be 5GB, not 5MB, otherwise it wouldn't be much of an Ipod-mini killer. Speaking of which, can we stop calling every portable audio device that? If it's cool, it's cool. It brings more choice to the consumer. But why should the Ipod die? For some people it's what they want, for others it's not. Okay, buy a different player. Sheesh.
Really? In Los Angeles, a bus ride is US$1.25 and you can keep riding on the same bus for as long as you want, all day if you like. And for $3.00, you can get a Day Pass on any bus, allowing you unlimited use of the entire Bus/Light Rail system in L.A. Country. So it is rather cheap, depending on where you are going and how long you'll be traveling.

Were you able to verify that your vote counted as one or more votes for Bush? I mean without your ability to prove that your vote counted as purchased, you may be required to return the money you took to make that vote.
I see you are not getting the hang of it. So, I'll put it in slashdot speak:
1. Take cash bribes in exchange for voting for Bush. 2. Vote for Bush in a heavily Democratic county of a heavily Democratic state. 3. Not care who actually *got* the vote. 4. ??? 5. Profit!

Just my 2 cents.
I liked that game too. But wasn't it Blizzard that published it?
Look at this, from the opinion:
