Who says the GPS device needs to be going the same speed as my car? How are they going to ensure that I didn't leave my GPS device in my garage while I take out my minivan for a street race? I predict that later GPS will replace human police in the seeking of speed limit violators. Go too fast, and the GPS connects to a violation reporting server and uploads your tracking number and the type of violation (exceeding speed limit for area, failing to stop at a stop light, etc.) Of course, I am sure there will be ways to crack it, but what if insurance companies start using GPS data to calculate your risk factor based on where you park your car (in front of a pub, at Wal-Mart). Don't take me too seriously though, I have a tin foil cap embedded in my skull.;-)
It snows in space? I didn't know there were clouds in space! I wish I lived in space. Without gravity, the snow would never land on my driveway, so I wouldn't have to plow it.
What happens when this new cockroach vehicle becomes more popular? What if I find cockroach hummers and cockroach minivans? And, by any chance, could these be modified hotwheels cars? I am afraid this will make the job of exterminators much harder.

Doesn't MSN Messenger provide a voice over Internet protocol of sorts via add-on services like Net2Phone? I think it use to be free wiht MSN Messenger and a few other services like Yahoo! (IIRC), but now a fee is charged.
I am just a lazy couch potato, with the only exception that I have a computer hooked up to my CRT, and alot of old machines and network gear. Good documentation should be made available for something as important as Xlib to allow more developers to write applications. O'Reilly has helped this effort, but it seems to still be lacking. I don't mind spending my time reading through source and header files, but I am a basement dwelling couch potato with no life. I realize most potential developers have more responsibilities than me, and would develop applications with Xlib if documentation was readily available. If GTK (toolkit that uses Xlib) is well documented (for free as in beer), why can't Xlib be?
Google only lets you see the first 1000 URLs matching your query, and many of them are irrelevent, useless, or charging a fee. It is sometimes hard to find reliable, relevent information.
How many of these sites are sites like slashdot.net, whom use domains for useless purposes to sell advertising and wait for someone to pay a large sum of money just to have the domain used for a useful purpose. There should be a top level domain that does not allow registering of sites that provide little purpose.
With inititives like Haier (Chinese refridgerator manufacturer) building a plant in South Carolina, United States, Chinese companies are definitely expanding. An article in Time (IIRC) said that China's ecnonomy will top that of Japan by 2015, and eventually the U.S. economy. It has been said that Chinese have gotten where they are today because of discipline. Each day, Haier would gather the employees around, and have the name called of who made the most mistakes (like leaving a screw out of a refridgerator) and have them stand on designated green foot prints painted on the floor. This level of discipline will hopefully continue.
Run something more modern and you will be fine, like Debian 3.1. Alot of people use Linux on their routers (old systems as routers.) I do the same, but I run OpenBSD on my router (*BSD, not Linux.) I find greater flexibility in OpenBSD with ipf than some cheap router that is hard to update the firmware of if there is an exploit discovered.
You are the kind of people that are why ISP's like my cable company have to block outgoing ports. Get a router, don't run a zombied machine. 233 MHz is more than enough for an X terminal, but if you have a lot of users on a 233 MHz server, PHP, Apache and Postgre will not perform well. This CPU is for servers.
I need a big lunch, so I don't want to go into the cafeteria and order four lunches and four 20 ounce bottles of Mountain Dew. I prefer to go to my local Wal-Mart and pick up two of those two litre bottles of Mountain Dew, pick up some coffee at the BR Dunkin' Donuts inside Wal-Mart, and two dozen of jelly filled doughnuts. Then I get a bag of cocoa puffs, and head to Burger King to get my cheeseburger. Problem is by the time I get back to the cafeteria with all my food to sit down and eat with my laptop, lunch is usually over.:(
This will be great for me! Where can I order? I will never have to worry about people using my flashlight batteries up again, as long as I don't keep the operation manual nearby. This is similar to the solution I put in place with my laptop. Students used to come in and drain my laptop's battery when it ran Windows. Now my laptop runs Linux. When tehy try to use my laptop, they tell me my laptop crashed. I wonder if those who attempt to use this new light emitting will think it is broken or something...
Dell flirting again to get Intel jealous...

Dell Might do AMD
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
We have seen these articles before. However, with Intel having to switch to dual core to increase performance due to nearing a brickwall in the area of performance increase via CPU clock increasing, perhaps Dell sees AMD as a better partner. AMD is no longer the butt of egg frying on CPU jokes thanks to their new power saving chips that actually put out less heat than Intel's Pentium 4 offerings. If I were him, I would start with AMD64 servers, because without a 64-bit AMD server offering, I think Dell is losing alot of orders to other companies like MBX.
If these are not chargable, these are just a stop-gap until we get fuel cells for electronics on the market. It may not be rechargable, but I beleive it will have higher energy for the volume. Also, the fact that it doesn't do as well on rundown tests is not too good if you need to charge capacitors.
I think this could go over quite well. An all-you-can-download plan where you can get as much as you want and only pay per month. Even if the general public won't download 14,000 songs in a month, they like the idea of being able to do something they probably never will do. This is why SUV's and all-you-can-eat buffet menus sell so well.
Slightly OT but... Where I attend they have locked down the Windows machines to the point where you can't do much of anything. Only professors/administrators can use the floppy drive. Mspaint, Solitaire, and Firefox are amoung the banned software (they claim this software is abused). Thankfully, the admin has is using less restriction on my account because he realizes mspaint and firefox can be useful, and not just for abuse circumventing the porn-blocker. I realize there is not likely anything productive to do with Solitaire, but banning of software in general is extremely irritating when you don't have your laptop with you.

In Soviet Russia you govern GPS.

Yes, accepting would have sounded better.
You ean the MPAA, right? Is it really legal to copy them? You don't own the media you rented them on, so does the fair use clause allow you to copy?

Would you pay money for Xlib documentation?

Hasn't much of the human genome been patented by greedy companies?
Maybe the movie is transferred via morse code over the flashlight. Must take a while to turn the flashlight on and off.

This is a server-side IRC implementation that has a web interface. There is no DCC implemented to allow sharing of the files you mentioned.
