Honestly. The Dual Core Intel Pentium Processor Extreme Edition with Hyper-Threading Technology.
Am I the only one that thinks that sounds funny? Like someone took a steaming PR doodoo into the buzzword generator at Intel?
Personally, I think I'll hold off until they release the Dual Core Intel Pentium Processor Fusion Edition Titanium Pack PRO with Spastic-Threading Nano-Techno-Giga-Awesome Technology.
Could it be that the chemist didn't snitch because he was afraid for his life?
In this DDOS situation.. if these guys are just snitching on some nerds, what's the worst that could happen? He's probably not too worried about a bunch of pale scrawny crackers coming to bust his knee caps.
Or maybe it's just because that since most of the screenshots don't show anything but menus and dialog boxes, 640x480 shows everything you need to see and saves some bandwidth.
I wouldn't really care to download 1600x1200 screenshots of mostly empty desktop wallpaper.
I got started with them last year when they were trying to break into the US market by giving away 3 full years of their Professional hosting package for free. They didn't take Credit Card info, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I signed up for two accounts. One for me, and one for my girlfriend *ahem*
I haven't been dissapointed yet.
I've referred at least 3 people to them, and they're all happy as well.
Even being a one of the bandwagon jumping free customers, they have supported me well and even moved my account to a different server when I complained that my site had become a bit slow.
I fully expect to start paying for their service when my free three years are up.
Well.. Maybe I've looked at too much porn, but I think it's desensitized me.
I don't even look twice at stick women with oversized fake tiddies and collagen stuffed lips, they don't do anything for me.
I've come full circle to the point where the only thing that gives me wood is real looking women. I don't mean fatties or anything, just normal looking average women. Natural, but without armpit/leg hair.
Not that any of this has anything to do with gaming. I guess an average looking player would look out of place in a fantasy game...
I wouldn't necessarily think that they want to add Snake, Tetris, and an alarm clock/scheduling program to their camera.
I'm guessing there are some kinda photography nerd features that could be programmed into such a camera.
I'm one of those point and shoot people. Not cutting people off at the neck is the extent of my picture taking ability. I'll probably never understand what all of the settings on a $2000 camera do.. but apparently some people not only use all those features, but want to add more and customize them. It sounds like it would be very useful to a handful of consumers, but not the kind of thing that would benefit the manufacturer enough to implement such functionality.
I strongly feel that if you voted for either Bush or Kerry, you pretty much tossed away your vote. The only difference between the two is what they say in public.
I've only had problems with excess heat in the Shuttle computers I've put together when a beefy video card has been added. It seems that a Radeon 9800 Pro tends to overwork the puny power supply, which adds to the heat that the video card itself is putting out.
I've never had any of the components fail, but it's warmer than I'm comfortable with.
God forbid you stick one of Intel's Prescott processors in too.
Although such a response would be hilarious to hear on the radio, it's probably not likely he'd be able to spew it out off the cuff like that.
I had no idea he had Asperger Syndrome until I read the article... I don't know much about AS, but I have spoken and listened to a couple people with it; it's very difficult for them to communicate socially. They tend to speak very literally, and they don't grasp the little social quirks of the language.
Yeah, my mom got pissed when I took apart my Computron and Speak n Spell.. For some reason, I only liked taking apart the electronic more expensive toys. Unless blowing up ninja turtles counts.
I'm interested in the mozilla calendar project, if it integrates with thunderbird, I'll switch for good. But they are still in the early stages of developement, it seems.
The calendar extension works with Thunderbird, but it's just a calendar, not groupware.
If you're just looking to keep your own appointments, it works very well.

...or your AC will have to be cranking in order to keep the room cool.
You should be fine so long as AC and the computer aren't on the same circuit in your home.
Wow. That was super gay.

Very interesting. I couldn't help but check out the seizure thing and click on it until it consumed 99% of my CPU cycles.
Foaming at the mouth was the last thing I can remember before waking up under my desk.
Well done!
Sounds to me like you're pretty good at this whole Slashdot thing.
I also use 1and1.

But have you ever played your PSP...
...on weeeeeed?
What? This came from the PR dept?
Oh.. now that you mention it, that second paragraph did sound a little suspicious:
"HP said in a statement that the technology could result in computers that are thousands of times more powerful than those that exist today."
I just can't get all excited about that anymore. Popular Science ruined it by using the same line in just about every other article they publish.

Wow, ZZ Top is smarter than I gave them credit for.

But as long as I have that little gold antenna-boosting-harmful-wave-deflecting sticker on my phone, I'll never have to worry either way.
Didn't you see the scientific looking animation?

Not that the blatant advertising for cooltechzone.com matters, since the slashdot effect seems to have heated cooltechzone.com to its melting point.

I've always said that Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Wal-Mart.. but yeah, same idea. I guess yours is better suited for Slashdot.
In America, first you get the Linux, then you write the Linux, then you get the women.

Woah woah woah..
Some of you are actually doing work AND reading slashdot AT THE SAME TIME?
I've never considered doing it that way.
I mean, I've got Komodo up on my other monitor, but I didn't actually consider being bothered to look at it while reading slashdot.
But have you ever studied quantum physics... ...ON WEED?!

It can't hurt to give it a try to see if it suits your needs.
