HDMI is just DVI-video and digital audio combined on one cable, any video card with a DVI port can use it with an adapter (and a separate audio cable). Also, 1080p is just 1920x1080 resolution, which any video card made in the last few years can display (playing 3D games at that resolution is another story).
Cards that have dual-link DVI are not common, but they aren't that hard to find, either.
I have epilepsy, specifically partial complex seizures of the temporal lobe. No neurosurgeon ever suggested surgery as a solution, but based on cases like this, I think I would have declined the offer had it been made. I can't imagine actually having part of my brain removed, and because everyone is different, results like this man's can never be 100% avoided.
The brain has a fantastic ability to route around damage, but 53 years after this man's surgery, we still don't know enough about the way it works to reliably fix problems that the brain itself cannot handle.
(Then again, my seizure episodes aren't nearly as frequent as described in the article.)
This seems to be very inconsistent. Last night I sent an email to the non-period-dileneated version of my account, and I got it (i.e. I sent it to firstnamelastname and got it at firstname.lastname). I tried creating an account using the name without the period, and couldn't- which means Google's either fixed the security hole, or someone else grabbed the account. I haven't recieved anyone else's mail, but that doesn't mean anything. I really would like to know which it is.
Is it just the earliest Gmail users who can have overlapping logins? My account is only a year old.

You have no idea what you're talking about. The Celeron M is a smaller cache version of the Pentium M; The Celeron D is the cheap version of the Pentium 4/D. While I agree that the Celeron D is a sucky processor, the grandparent is right, it's more than adequate for any non-gaming tasks.
Furthermore, benchmarking has shown that the Celeron M is just as good as a Pentium M at the same clockspeed. Which is probably why the fastest Celeron M chips Intel sells are 1.8Ghz; anything faster would cannibalize Pentium M sales (also, the Celeron M doesn't step down its speed to conserve power, which is what the poster before you was talking about).
Looking at that website, there are only two companies on their members list- Lavasoft and Safer Networking, Ltd- whose anti-spyware products I would actually be willing to use on any computer. I'm vaguely surprised that they're on the list, but I guess the ASC has to bring in credibility from somewhere.
While I agree that the no-fly list is retarded, it hasn't caused US airlines' headquarters to move. I don't see how it would have any effect on a space-tourism industry. Cruise lines try to get around US regulations not because they're restrictive per se, but because compliance is expensive.
(This line of conversation is off-topic, so I'm just going to check the "No Karma Bonus" box and mod myself down at the start.)
First, moderators are slashdot users just like you. They have biases and their idea of flamebait might differ from yours. Bookmark your comment and check on it in a week or so, and see if it changes. If it does, then a metamoderator saw it and decided it was unfair. If not, I don't know what to tell you. It's a technology news site, don't take it too seriously.
And on a broader note, a lot of people complain that the mod/metamod system is broken. I'm sure there's room for improvement, but I've been clicking on the "Have you Meta Moderated Recently?" link every other day almost since I joined a year ago. In my humble experience, 90% of the moderations on Slashdot are fair, and those that aren't usually get changed. YMMV
I remember reading an article on Wired a long time ago about why Google News will forever be beta: it's all about money and copyrights. As long as it is beta, Google can claim it makes no profit from Google News. As soon as it gets "released," though, every newspaper with a lawyer will try to shut it down.
What they are proposing will screw up internal networks. If I type "wiggum" into the address bar, I get sent to the admin page for my firewall/router. At the nuiversity I went to, typing just about anything ("webmail", "registrar") takes you to the proper page on the intranet. It's very convenient, but applying it to the whole internet will cause a lot of problems.
That's not bad. But, I once worked with a man who drank from a 128oz "Big Gulp," with a straw, no less. Every morning, he would fill it halfway with ice, then pour in a 2-liter of Mountain Dew. It would last him all day.
...how much RF energy it takes to damage a missile. But, by the time it flies over Alaska, the missile would be a ballistic warhead that has to do nothing more than detonate at a predetermined altitude. I imagine it could be made pretty simple, and therefore hard to kill.
But, four billion watts is a lot of power. The HAARP power page says that for every four watts of power transmitted, ten must be generated (40% efficiency). That's ten gigawatts, and the six diesel generators mentioned on the site produce only fifteen megawatts. Where does the extra power come from? Capacitors? If so, it would only be able to produce a single large pulse. That would be pretty useless against missiles (which wouldn't all come at once).
The computer market has changed a lot since Apple killed the cloners. Apple actually had market share to lose then, and computers of any kind were expensive. Apple has become a boutique computer maker (others have made the luxury car analogy), and now has little to no appeal to 90% of buyers.
People who buy $1800 iMacs and $3000 Powermacs know what they want and can afford it, and I don't think they would abandon their "luxury" computers for a $299 Dell that runs OSX. Such a computer would, however, appeal to the people who already buy $299 Dells, who have never previously considered buying a Mac (even a cheap one like the Mini).
Do you think the cloners would agree to that sort limitation on THEIR hardware?
Sure. It would protect their market by preventing people from running the OS on any old beige box, which is exactly what Apple is already going to do. The companies that would be likely to license the OS (I've been using Dell as an example, but HP, Gateway, etc.) have workstation lines that compete with the Powermac, but anyone who wants OSX and is willing to spend that much is just going to buy it from Apple. I fail to see why the Justice Department would care about this.

I'm gonna wager that the womens' restrooms do not have flushless urinals.

You mean Sam's Choice Doctor Thunder costs more than 58 cents to make? Wow.
Thanks. I was hoping there was a mistake in there somewhere (it should be pretty clear that I'm no expert on this stuff, just a bit interested).

1 Don't crimp. Install jacks on solid wire instead. Then use flexible stranded wire jumpers.
Actually, that's exactly what we ended up doing. I have a lot of cable left over, though.
Heh. I still have most of a 1000-foot spool of solid CAT 6 laying around; if you can figure out how to crimp the shit, we can make a 10000Mb network.
