heheh, yeah... my company ust spent 30k on a new SNMP monitoring appliance, with all the bells and whistles.. beats the crap out of HP Openview and the other multmillion dollar big company products...
Karma to burn... it's sad, my morning was going well... Listen, metlin, you somehow have managed to lump-sum one nation full of people by two letters, and appropiately made a fool of yourself by raging like a fifteen year old boy, with no real concept of world politics or business...
It's amazing anyone can summize a complicated scenario such as world politics into: The attitude of the US is sickening, with utter disregard to sovereignity of other nations, and the attitude of the rest of the world in letting the US puppet the UN into submission is sad to see.
mod this kid down, i am tired of seeing this on slashdot... Am I the only one who sees the comment as trollish and immature... ?
Saw it. Kept thinking about the Macross style transformer back in the days. Looks like they are building them out of light styrofoam and applying some basic aerodynamic theory. Makes me wanna dig through my dad's old R/C airplane equipment.
Pretty ingenious creations. Check out the pictures of the human powered amphibious 3-car train and the poor kayakers they are about to mow down. "Johnson! Paddle faster, that damn train is gaining on us!"
Actually, the kayakers are pulling the train cars, due to the "sculpture" breaking up when trying to be towed.
I would offer some scorn about reading the article, but I, sigh, am not new here.

I am a lonely man living on the Galapagos Island. I use TCP/IP over carrier pigeon to communicate with a Nigerian who has promised my great wealth in exchange for securing funds in the First Galapagos Bank, of which I am owner/ceo/clerk, and janitor.
I suspect someone is interupting my data stream and keeping the replies and account numbers he has been sending me in regards to my money. This vulnerability proves my theory. I am in desperate need!! How can I prevent this!!
Anyone willing to help I will share my wealth with.

Actually, I watched a special on Discovery a while back that demonstrated their use in future vehicles.
I think the biggest hurdle is that a five point harness is rather uncomfortable, and some* people would rather sacrifice comfort for safety. In the show the seatbelts looked as if they had some design specifications that made them a bit more comfortable, and they were presented as something that we may see in the near future. (Sorry, hunted for a link, couldn't find one)
I only other thing I can think of is there is probably a bit of a difference in the way crumple zones act on a air bag protected car as opposed to one that is built with the frame/ chassis as a solid design, with the driver firmly harnessed in. I keep thinking of the old science class egg drop contest: Air Bags would be akin to filling the container up with shaving cream, while a harness would be more like solidly mounting the egg to the center of the box, and dampening the blow to the areas where the outer container meets the inner container.
So.. on level twelve, where the good sleeping doctor is walking between the the first doorway and the doctor squishing device (the one the good folks at Nintendo programmed into 2 seconds later in the game), I'm stuck.
Do you think it is even remotely possible to get that spinning gyro from the thing that keeps it spinning to the red button on one side, and then to the other side before the doctor meets his ill fate?
yeah... sigh.. me niether.... half to go back to cheating and hitting the button with my finger.
"We're moving closer and closer to the disposable car," says Dan Bailey, an executive vice president at Carstar, the largest auto-body repair franchise in the United States.
Um...Am I the only one who thinks there are probably numerous reasons why this is a bad idea/statement? Disposable Car? People in other countires must love our frame of mind. If a brand new BMW (as in story) costs more to replace the air bags than the car, than somebody please, sell me a BMW sans airbags. I'll throw in a five point harness, reinforce the subframe, and sign a waiver. I think I have a rain check for a mid-life crisis around here somewhere....
No... really... disposable car = huh? Recycled car / rethink industry as a whole = hah! besides, does anyone here in the IT industry really want to figure out why the 2010 Ford Festiva is having a hard time finding drivers (pun?) for it's various parts?...
Karma be damned. I have had similar past experiences with Linux.
Especially the problem with Mozilla not recognizing plug-ins for flash. I even discovered that the other web browser apps, (Galieon,etc.) depended on the plug-ins Mozilla used, or at least it appeared that way.
Someone get some mod points and mod the parent up, for christ sake. I found myself thinking "I can relate... I can relate".
This forum is supposed to be about Groklaws's involvement with standardizing Linux, not arguing over the fact that whether or not people have a problem installing various distributions. Obviously if someone says they are having a problem, there is a problem. The response always seems "You are the problem, mine works just fine." As long as this style of thinking prevails, and people's egos get in the way of they're general sense of good will and sh!t like that, than THIS will always be the way it is.

A New Ice Age?
·
· Score: 1
I remember a bit from college that still makes me laugh when i see sh!t like this... All of the ice floating around north of us used to instill panic and fear that someday we would be submerged in the water if it melted... Then some genius decided that hey.. if it melts, the water levels won't change, just the ice wont be ice anymore. (example, cup of water and ice, ice melts, does the cup overflow? Nope.)
see also: "Save the rain forest, lest we all die of CO2 poisoning, even though the ocean out performs the "rainforest" (poor monkeys) in being the worlds largest C02 "sink", and effectively beats the rainforest hands down.
Look if your gonna cry about change than at least back it up with knowledge. Not for my sake (I could care less) but the sake of those you are trying to convince.
Ahhh I can see it now. The marketing types will have a field day with this one. Maybe they could incorporate Clippy into the program, to help out the drawing impared.

Alot of the new jukebox software stuff out there not only shuffles, but plays the songs based on some knowledge of the songs/ genre/ artists you pick by hand in the past.
Radio that plays based on my tastes... man, If thats brain damage these keys must be pushing themselves...
The sad irony of the ignorant is plausible comedy for all.

Great... now thanks to CSI we will surely know if Picasso killed Colonel Mustard in the Dining Room with the Candlestick.

Actually some of the software they will be supporting is already in beta.
Ok thats a little harsh, but hey it's friday, and I have got karma to burn, baby.
