Well, he specified low load... and so I'm assuming he wants to archive something for his personal use (insert pr0n joke here). I use my Comcast connection for that; from what I've heard, both from friends who also do that and (unofficially, obviously) from Comcast tech support, they have a "don't ask, don't tell, don't abuse" unofficial policy. As long as you don't use a lot of bandwidth, and don't shove it in front of their noses, they'll leave you alone.
No, but they're weak and they get tired easily. By "tired", I mean they move slowly/clumsily and are painful.
Actually, all my joints are like that. It's similar to arthritis symptoms, but I've had it all my life due to a genetic disorder. Sadly, it's one of the less annoying symptoms.
As I've said before, I could build something with off the shelf parts ordered through the mail for about $700 that would do this. It'd be a standard ITC (in the canal) hearing aid, an induction coil (that would be completely undetectable placed under a t-shirt worn underneath your suit), a small radio receiver in the pocket (or under the shirt, small of the back, whatever) and a transmitter.
Dirt cheap. And, come on, the FBI puts wires on folks when it needs to, right? The receiver/transmitter would be the hardest part to conceal, and obviously, the technology exists.
Assuming that "lef ant fight ears" means left & right ears, no, it wouldn't. If you have mild hearing loss, you can get a hearing aid for about $400 that fits entirely within the ear canal and can't be seen (unless you have *exactly* the right angle and are *extremely* close and well lit). Note: these are crapulent hearing aids, and much better equipment is available.
These hearing aids can be easily modified to use an induction coil + a microphone (on the aid, to pick up "localized" noise) as input.
I use an induction coil that receives a signal (from a standard Walkman jack; you can have basically any input for 'em, though, cellphone, short range FM, Bluetooth, etc, are all commercially available) and they are small. They are nearly invisible if you put 'em under your shirt, and if you were concerned about visibility, it would be very easy to make them impossible to spot.
In fact, you could even put it in your pocket - they don't have to be that close to your ear if you pump the power up. I dislike Bush as much as anyone, but this story is grade-A Bush plop.
A better way of phrasing that triple negative would've been "it can be argued that the war in Iraq doesn't conform to the Just War Theory, but not conclusively", or something along those lines.
This is an interesting question. If you got all 20 in one configuration but not the other, would it mean that the one with the holes was better (i.e., emulates the target OS/shell better) or worse (less secure)?
Why, is it faster? I'd do it with two hands (one to hold it, one to push it with the palm of my hand). But I have finger problems, so that might be why.
Nobody would even
bother to fix the PCs as they died! It was cheaper
to just replace the whole cluster whenever too
many of the boxes were dead.
IIRC, they still do this. And they leave the dead boxes where they are; they figure once most of the computers in a specific section of their server rooms have died, they'll pitch 'em all and reuse the space. Until then, it's cheaper to buy more commodity boxes and pop 'em into more office/server space.
I work for a small company that runs low-traffic sites for maybe 25 clients (employees can manage their healthcare from these sites) that are all on desktop G5s & eMacs. We have 2 eMacs for DNS, one for mail, 2 G5s as database servers, 2 as HTML servers (that the databases route through) and one as an internal fileserver (through which everything is backed up to one of 6 Lacie drives that are moved offsite weekly).
It's worked fine for us, and we have only had the servers go down twice in eight years - once when we moved offices, and once when the T1 provider's power went out.
So how cheap is this CoLo anyway? Most of the CoLos I have looked at are prices high enough that using an X-Box would just be silly.
I'd love to find a CoLo shelf space priced for someone like me who wants to put say 100Gig on line but expects fairly low traffic.
Why not just use the DSL/cable that'd be cheaper than a colo anyway? And keep in mind that installing Linux on an XBox is also pretty silly, but that doesn't stop anyone...
No, I believe what was on/. a while back was a system to put an LP on a (commercially available) flatbed scanner and get a (crappy) wav from that. The laser thing would probably be much better quality.
Even if it wasn't synched - to have it automatically display the lyrics to the currently playing song, and you could scroll with the scroll wheel (maybe hold another button down to distinguish it from volume).
* Weak atheism, or negative atheism, is the standpoint that there is no reason to believe that any particular god exists. A weak atheist sees no reality in any god he's been told about, and doesn't expect to ever find a god he can believe is real. This is not equivalent to agnosticism, although there is often an overlap between the two; an agnostic believes he does not or can not have enough information to say for certain whether any gods exist.
* Strong atheism, or positive atheism, goes further to make the assertion that there are no such things as gods. This may, but need not, include the opinion that the existence of a god is logically impossible; strong atheists base this on logical a priori arguments intending to demonstrate that omnipotent, omniscient, and/or transcendent conceptions of "God" are self-contradictory or internally inconsistent.
...
People unfamiliar with the distinction often misunderstand "weak atheism" to be agnosticism, and consider "strong atheism" to characterize all atheists. This leads to arguments against strong atheism being incorrectly levied against weak atheism as well.
Occam's razor. Most intelligent atheists acknowledge that they can't know for sure - but I don't think you walk around saying, "well, I don't KNOW if pink elephants exist or not - just 'cuz I haven't seen any doesn't mean they aren't there".
That's like saying that Medicare/Social Security aren't paid for by the government, but by US citizens. True in one sense, but pedantic and moronic, especially since the relationship is understood.
Wrong. Theora is nearly there, whereas Dirac isn't even working in realtime (RTFS). And, it lets them stay with one paradigm (I can't believe I just used that word) because Theora has an audio analogue (ogg) whereas Dirac doesn't.
And that's ignoring the benefit of being involved with an OSS project that, while rough around the edges, has a large development community already (both Theora devs and the potential pool of Ogg devs who could be enticed to work on Theora), rather than starting a new OSS project.
Is this the same Angelman's linked to Prader-Willi Syndrome? IIRC, if the defective gene is on a maternal chromosome, it causes one of those two conditions, if it's on a paternal chromosome it causes the other.
No, that would be Booble.com (may not be safe for work; depicts one pair of cartoon breasts). Note: Booble was sued by Google for this page; I'm not sure what the outcome was, but now you have to go to search.booble.com to see the Google parody rather than just booble.com.

As someone who's known several depressed people, and been mildly depressed myself, bullshit. It is mental pain, not an outlook on life.

Any candidate that admitted to smoking pot (currently) and inhaling would win votes - for courage and honesty, if for nothing else.

So how much space would that be, in LOCs?

It's intarweb. I mean, if you're gonna use a gratuitous misspelling, at least do it right ;-)

Flamebait? WTF? This should be modded Funny. I wish I had mod points ('course, I've posted already several times in this discussion, but ...).
