...that "reds under the beds" works much better to get a population under the control of vested interests in media and government to do what you want.
"There was massive market speculation on oil prices last year, and I want to cash in on the paranoia, so ring your congresscritter and remind him how much money I need him to put into this dubious windpower investment or I'll be writing a nasty letter" - it just doesn't have the same impact, does it?

Alright, slashdotters! Now is your big chance - go get 'em.

Yes, Timmy, outside into the big blue room where there is no undo button, the gamma is too high and there's no wall hacking. Yes, there, the great unknown where your mother gets your Dew and Cheetos, and computer parts arrive in trucks that you've glimpsed from your front door.
... Fine, go back to your one-handed surfing. *sighs* If you want something done right, do it yourself... The things I do for you lot.
You could even apply filters to make brand new CDs sound just like an old cassette.
A webcam microphone recording of the track being played through $5 Walmart speakers under a pillow, then downsampled to a 32kbps wma file should do the job.
Yeah, it's a real bummer. I was quite surprised myself. Not to add to your brother's potential woes, but make sure he's explored the income tax rates for Canada. I'm not sure of the specifics, and how it breaks down per province, but from what I'm told, in B.C., it's almost 50%.
Yikes to say the least.
Being that the top marginal tax rate here in Australia is 48.5% (last I checked), I'm not sure that will bother him.
Amazing that there are places you could just look up and see that. I've never seen the night sky as anything but pitch black with a few dull white dots, and maybe the moon.
Hate to tell you this, but if you think your version of the night sky is pitch black, you're going to be stunned at what a real view will do. Other posters referring to vertigo have it absolutely right - it's SO black, it's very difficult to comprehend, and the best way to look at it is to lie down, otherwise you'll fall down.
Get out of town - way out of town - more often, you won't regret it.
This only works so long as neither you nor the person you are 'communicating' with have any actual familiarity with the work flow in a real kitchen. Your 'analogy' would be confusing as hell to anyone who does.
Right - and how is this different to their efforts at communicating with the IT geek? "My hard-drive's broken" would be as useful in this situation as a chef discovering the pressure regulator on a burner is broken, after being told that the dishwasher isn't working. At least this way the analogy is good, and if you're talking in simplified terms both parties can relate to, useful communication can happen because the limitations of language are apparent.
Scott Maxwell, one of the rover's drivers, has a blog detailing the events of the mission exactly five years behind schedule.
I'd like to echo that - I've got it on my RSS feed, and I look forward to the postings. It's a fantastic read.
I'm pretty sure Scott has an account here at/.. Scott, if you read this, keep up the good work in the blog - it's a fascinating insight into what goes on inside NASA for those of us curious geeks who like to know what happens in one of the most iconic R&D organisations in the space game.
I just got a case supporting 6 internal drives, cheap board with 6 sata plugs, and six 1.5T drives. ~9T storage (ignoring replication) for ~$1k.
Yes, and 4 times the power consumption, while dealing with the hassle of having to back up over a network which saturates your switch/router overnight. Good plan.
you're just watching to figure out how they got there, their techniques, and what they're after.
I'd just like to congratulate you on the gramatically correct use of there, their and they're in the same sentence - it's a rare thing to see in these parts.

AC doesn't have to come from electricity. You can either pipe cold water around
Care to tell us where we'd find natural cold water in Arizona in summer, seeing as AC doesn't have to come from electricity?

If you could spell correctly your story might be more believable.
If you be bothered to create an account, the rest of us non-ACs might give a shit.

Hmm, should I also order a pizza and a blow-job?
Always a good idea.

Steve's journal will have 35" dubs and ladder-bar rear end, for sure. :)
Ladder bar, as in extension ladder welded in, cross-braced with 2x4.

Great, then you get partially-finished graffiti _and_ blood stains on the walls.
At least the blood stains wash off.

Because they're his, and not that other guys' transmission. Therefore, more important, no?

Good test for a placebo effect, though, seeing as the delivery medium is different.
