All of the computers in our engineering lab (yes, our high school has an engineering department, and it's sweet) were built by students. The teacher hosted a two hour long after school project where about 20 stations were laid out with all the computer parts. He then showed us how everything went together. It was great for people of all levels, from computer gearheads to novices. The turnout was great, if I recall. And in the two hours I probably learned more practical stuff then I learned in 4 years of High School. I'll be building my desktop for college soon.
Lol what r u talking bout computers are what gave me these l337 anglish-speeking skilz lol
For those of us lacking in tin foil hats...

Given Up to Spyware?

I have a question. What is it that bothers you more about spy ware: the invasion of privacy? or the fact that it can significantly slow down your computer?
I choose the second. I mean, I don't know how valuable it is to marketers to know that I visit Slashdot 18 times a day.
The solution, IMHO, is pretty smart. Computers would sense the stopped car, and the car behind it would slow down, and actually push the car to the next station for repairs.

Questions of reliability, safety, evacuation and rescue are fundamental to the design of any elevated transit system including SkyWeb Express. Each vehicle has two motors and two controllers, modern failure-monitoring systems, fault-tolerance and fail-safe features. The system has alternative power sources so that a power failure will not leave passengers stranded.
There are over 70 elevated automated transit systems operating in the world today that prove that a vehicle stopping when not intended is a very rare event. If a vehicle does stop between stations, Central Control will talk with the passengers through an intercom system and guide the rescue operation. The vehicle behind will soft engage and push the disabled vehicle to the nearest station. In the very unlikely event that the vehicle can't be moved, a rescue team will come with a ladder and help the passengers out of the vehicle.
I'd like to think that his resignation had nothing to do with special interests, but you can't help but wonder when Slashdot produces a link to "Best Deals: United States."
What about Smoketron 3000, the world's first weed smoking robot?
Goby: Robot, get me a pepsi.
Smoketron 3000: (in Robotic Voice) Okay... wait, what?
Goby: I said Robot, get me a pepsi!
Smoketron 3000: Oh I got it now... wait, what?
Smoketron 3000: Dudes I'm cashed can one of you smoke me out.
Skyler: I got a little.
Smoketron 3000: Awesome, wait are you a cop?
Skyler: Noooo.
Smoketron 3000: Cause' legally you have to tell me if you are.
Skyler: I'm not a cop dude.
Smoketron 3000: There's no way I'm going back to jail. I ain't nobody's bitch.
Smoketron 3000: Dude check this out this will freak your beans, what if I'm the human and you are the robot.
Slashdot Mirror
Ha... ha...
I'll tell you what's wrong. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get rid of the cat urine smell...
Don't Panic.
I for one welcome our new legal-assisted computer overlords.
Kahnnnnnnnnn!
"breaking news: power sauce is great!"
compare that with:
"breaking news: linux has fewer bugs!"

I just farted!!!
Someone program a plug-in for Miscrosoft Word that blocks instant messaging while open. Parents would rip the stuff from store shelves.

1. Reach "Susan" stage.
2. ????????
3. Profit!
Simply take m, the amount of money you want to make, and divide by t, the amount of time you want to work. Couldn't be any simpler.
Oh wait, I forgot, I'm not in kansas anymore.

Augmented reality should be able to turn the love doll lying in your closet into a real woman!
Can it play Doom 3?
You know, for when we need that extra kick in articles, we can say "Our user base goes up to 11%."
That's what a motivational speaker would say.
How long until TV Execs figure out how to make this a reality show. Chills, thrills, and exciting chemical spills, it's all on Survivor: Mars!

It's simple. If we assume that the chance of a slashdot user of getting laid is:
sin(x)
------ - 1 = f(x)
x
And that x is equal to the distance that a slashdot user is from his (or the unlikely her) computer desk, then we simply calculate:
lim f(x)
x->0
Which anyone knows is equal to 0.
