Yeah, I ordered two-day delivery on Monday the 11th, with all items in stock. As soon as I clicked the "Finished" button, the ETA showed up as the 19th. Phshaw.
they're going to spend that extra 7 days determining if you've already ordered any of that stuff or if they have any harmful interactions
I mean, metaphorically speaking, if Rosetta was a person and it was wearing the apps that ran using it, it would be frightening to see those apps walking around with no body.
i thought the point of metaphors was to make a point easier to understand...
Maybe because you can only think in terms of how inexpensively you would do any particular task.
The main reasons people use Via Mini-ITX is,
* very small form factor
* very low power consumption
* whisper quiet
since you're posting this in an article about someone who made a rackmount out of them, it seems like small form factor wasn't an issue
"You are also leading the public to think that it is fine to download and own these files for nothing."
i agree with this part. they are leading them to believe that they can download and own those files for nothing, but BECAUSE THEY IN FACT CAN it's not misleading in the least
The major component of the cell phone system is the cell. The cell phone system divides an area of service into a set of cells on what might look like a hexagonal grid. A phone tower or base station in the center of the cell covers an area of 2 or 3 square miles around the tower.
US Cellular only give in building coverage for a radius of three miles. When you are three miles away from where US Cellular is trying to cover, you miss half.
most of the other links that i saw agreed pretty closely with the 2.5 mile radius mark, the Yale paper that is notably different might be a typo? the zoning petition is even older than the Yale paper, so i don't think it is a technology issue
I don't replace my TV every 4 years, it's gotta be going on 8 and my VCR is still going strong at almost 14 years old, so I really don't feel pleased in needing to repair something like this this soon in the player's lifespan.
4 years is a joke for consumer electronics, so i'd be skeptical too. i had a 19" TV that kicked out a year or two ago that was about 14 years old at the time, and another that was passed down to me from a relative and must be even older than that (though i can't vouch for how much use it got). all my parents' TVs have had similar lifespans, as a matter of fact they decommissioned one a few years ago that was so old that [cordless] remote controls were uncommon when they bought it. i still have the VCR that i bought 10 years ago (which only was bought as a replacement because the first one was stolen), and when my brother gets bored he can fire up my old NES from more than 15 years ago or my N64 from 8 years ago. i'm not listing all this because i think our experiences are anything atypical, i'm listing them because i think we've seen the same longer lifespan across a breadth of electronics.
i wonder what the typical lifespan of a computer is, setting aside the fact that most people dispose of them faster just because they're outdated. if they do die faster than other electronics, i wonder which is the part that dies fastest on average (my guess would be hard drive?)
That is part of why a program that installs itself, logs your keystokes, saves your credit card info, and turns on your webcam while you are in the shower is a "petentially unwanted program"
there are definite good points to finite resources, the fact that TA only limited resource production rates meant that you could find yourself in 4-hour yawn-a-thons against a porcupine enemy. i much preferred TA to AoE or SC, but i definitely wish it had some method of limiting production
it seems to me that the stylus and the two-screen system would be hard to get used to. you have to hand it to them though for making a platform that will be impossible to emulate on another machine, simply due to the fact that no one will have the same input devices
unfortunately their biggest threat is unrest from within, so unless they're using dissidents to pilot these spacecraft their not likely to reduce it with this program
Not counting the citations at the end, the book is 1,577 pages of "guidelines." Who's got that kind of time for a hobby? Who, having a job as a programmer, even has the time to read a book like that?
if you don't have time, just wait for the 30 CD audio version
Slashdot Mirror
i think the Ohio river catching on fire would be one eye-opening example of what some people did with their freedom to dump materials
i like the idea, but it seems like including a telnet client with it is just a bunch of handholding
if you haven't cleared your browser cache since 1999, i think you're using a wayback machine of you own
when they lose this one they'll probably sue Slashdot for continuing to host this article describing their lunacy
maybe both this plan and that movie are poorly thought out and follow plotlines that don't go anywhere?
wasn't that a bad 80's cartoon? i remember eating my Cheeri-o's and watching them save the galaxy, who knew they'd grow up with the rest of us?
because they have to cancel out the 67% markup that they applied when setting the price that allowed them to sell it for a 40% discount and break even
from a random wireless advisor post : from an article on Yale's website "The Physics of Cellphones" (but dated 2003) : from a MIT mailing-list : from a zoning petition : most of the other links that i saw agreed pretty closely with the 2.5 mile radius mark, the Yale paper that is notably different might be a typo? the zoning petition is even older than the Yale paper, so i don't think it is a technology issue

so will they be giving away a free EUPod Mini to every 100,000th song purchase?
but how are they going to patch all the webservers that aren't connected to the internet?
wait...almost forgot... you insensitive clod!
you'd better leave out the welcome mat, because robots are taking all the cool jobs
damn, i was going to turn in these 100K "free song" bottlecaps from mountain dew, but then i saw that offer was over.
oh well, i probably couldn't have pressed the "buy song" button 100,000 times fast enough to not have anyone else slip a purchase into the mix anyway
