That is the smartest thing I have ever heard anybody say, ever.
Seriously though, shouldn't razor blade manufacturers start worrying about heat density? I mean, my old 3 blade razor can run on nothing more than a heatsink but a 5 blade has to sound like a leaf blower.
This will allow for more variety in TV Dinner desserts, because they can just shield it so only the stuff that needs to get nuked will get nuked. w00t!
I don't know what kind of desserts you eat, but mine do not include "engineered mixtures of metal and circuit board materials, which could include ceramic, Teflon or fiber composite materials". Sounds like some expensive and, uh, tasty ice cream.

You can bet if either the price or the battery life was anything spectacular they would've mentioned it. Personally, along with battery life I was looking for some dimensioning. I'm sure in the coming weeks we'll find out the rest of the story and become even more unimpressed than we are now.
When you say it like that, and think about the fact that it's roughly 0.1% of the world's population then I think people will start to get the picture.
Dead on. I'm playing the 7-day trial and it's barely, BARELY D&D. In my opinion if you really want to play a well-executed D&D licensed game, either play Neverwinter Nights or pick up NWN2, due for release this year. Here's what Neverwinter has that DDO lacks...
It implements nearly every 3E rule in the books within a real-time or round-based framework.
With 2 expansions released, you can play to level 30 with tens of prestige classes already in the game.
There are hundreds of VERY high quality user made mods and persistent communities already in existence.
I suppose Turbine felt that standard D&D rules weren't enough to keep MMO players paying for months (even though the current game would get old in a couple months at most). So instead of tweaking the existing game framework, they seeminly started from scratch and slapped the Wizards seal of approval on it.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head here. What makes it even worse from the customer's standpoint is the lack of information Blizzard provides about anything. They are so terrified of something (admitting fault?) that Blizzard will never admit a problem until they have already taken down servers to fix it. This leaves players constantly wondering whether their concerns are even being addressed, nevermind in a timely manner.
Perhaps this problem is symptomatic of their lethargy in getting their systems together 17 months after launch. I quit for a while, yet came back a few months later to find things better. As you said, though, they quickly got worse and like you I may be ready to give it up for good.
Until they introduce more operating bugs in Rev D. In that case, wait for Rev E2. Oh, and make sure you flash the correct version of the updated firmware.
x86 only assigns so many bits to address its registers (3 bits to address 0 to 7, I believe). Increasing this amount leads to a different bit count in the control aspect of the CPU and would cause older CPUs without this functionality to be unable to run this code.
The problem was that it was too realistic. After my human male got it on with the drow priest Viconia, there was a couple days of akward dialouge among the entire party before she proclaimed it was time for her to leave. There went the best healer in the game... and the love of my young monk's life.
Smurf #1: Hey, did you have a good time last night?
Smurf #2: Smurf-tacular!
Smurf #1: Yeah, I saw you leave with Smurfette.
Smurf #2: Oh man, as soon as we got out of the bar, she started smurfing me.
Smurf #1: Shut the Smurf up!
Smurf #2: Yeah!
Smurf #1: Right in the Smurfing parking lot?
Smurf #2: Smurf-Yeah!
Smurf #1: Oh! That is freaking Smurf!
They have find some way to get people to want to buy Vista. It's been pretty obvious that Vista is more an incremental update to XP (although I struggle to even call it that). At this point it feels like MS is just creating hacks to cover up fundamental errors in their UI and kernel. But when they come up against the harder problems, they are in a position to say "well yea, but look at this small thing we DID improve".
I guess you've never worked retail. You learn to speak "customer" pretty quick. All you have to do is forget everything you know about what you're selling and you're on the same boat they are.
Along the same lines, the author would have done much better to just talk subjectively about the image quality. The one included screenshot was a crappy demonstration except to indentify that RF is ancient tech. And not to knock the SD400 (I own one), but a nicer DSLR with better color representation probably would've helped me feel like I can trust the images.
Slashdot Mirror
I was going to point out that Britannica also lacks rules for calling shotgun, but even more shocking is that the results page for the same search on Britannica returns more Google ads than articles.
I think the submitters today are 'sleepwalking into overused words'.

Never had this problem myself on a 2ghz Athlon XP. This was the web version, not the downloaded version however.

Why do I now see many a Slashdotter applying for similar jobs across the world?
Yikes! Good point.
Except on Mannoroth, where we PUG Onyxia and Ragnaros weekly.

Aren't wirelss products fun?

The irony of this statement has not gone unnoticed.
*sigh* Line breaks > me.

Except the X1300 isn't an R520 it's an R515.
As well you shouldn't. No knack on you though, it was more a jab at /. at large.

Maybe it's sarcasm? No, that's unpossible Slashdot is to regard all matters with the utmost of seriousness.
