And you might want to add something about being legally required to not remove funds afterwards, or I'll gladly transfer 10% in for the 100% I'd take out:).
Actually I'm stuck in the middle of a rather populated area in PA, USA. Cable comes from NJ and is too far, and I'm a stone's throw out of reach of DSL, mostly due to their incompitence, I think.
As a slashdotter who is stuck on dial up due to my unfortunate location, I think I'll be sticking to older forms of TV for a while. I'm not exactly sure what they mean by internet video or why its so popular, so far it only seems to "buffer" and slow my blazing fast 56k connection...
Or you can just fire up linux and give Redmond the finger. Last I checked Fedora core doesn't phone home, and if you feel like modifying it, its a much easier hack for us lazier coders.
I wonder how much of this drop in computers without antivirus updates is caused by the user, and how much is caused by ISPs or vendors setting up or demanding it before users can access the internet.
I also wonder where they got these people. Are they all AOL users? Were they selected "randomly" online? If so from where... my "random" selection of internet users from slashdot show interesting different results.
Actually, the thing that scared me most was the "DMFC" before reading the article. Only thing that came to mind was some sort of Digital Millenium Fuelcell Copyright.
It would be funny to get a shirt of this and run it to a bunch of capacitors or batteries that charge your tazer, so you'd be able to up the antee on your attacker.
Tire pressure is related more to the amount of air you put in your tire than the weight of the car or suface area under the tire. You can probably pump the tire up pretty high before it pops, but it won't increase the pressure on the ground. Also, you can get tires with more surface area to lower the pressure on the ground.
That being said, it probably isn't extreme pressure. If a car weighs 2 tons, thats 1000 lbs per tire, and if it has a surface area of 20sq in, then that is only like 50 lbs per square inch. Most cars don't way that much anyway (and probably have more surface area).
The larger the shock area, the less strong the shock. Plus, this material will probably be limited to certain small areas for the media player controls.
Or some farfetched technology that focuses refracted light rays onto a sensor array to create a representation of the world so the computer could follow hand gestures. That would be really neet technology.
Liquid CO2 you say? Give it to us nerds. It one way to make the new Intel chips not suck...
wait, nm, it would escape again, still produce rediculous heat, and they'd still suck.
I doubt this will ever be as cheap as raising real animals. You need all sorts of scientific measures to ensure that the sample isn't tainted, that it is in the proper conditions to grow, and I'm guessing very expensive equipment to grow it in quantity.
On an ideological note, do any vegitarians have any feelings on this? It's not completely artificial, because its made from cells of living animals. Is it far enough away to be ok though?
And lastly, I bet 'chicken' nuggets have been made without meat for a long time now. Just like our hot dogs.
I switched my desktop and saved $90.
Seriously though, do any slashdoters have experience switching their companies computers to, or even away from linux?
How is the new judge selected? I presume the president selects someone and then they must be approved by congress and / or the house of representatives?
And seriously slashdot should disable mod points for political discussions.

Does this mean I legally do need enlargement?
Wooohooo, what is wireless internet without propigation delay?
I'm probably not quite close enough to do that, plus there are trees and things in the way.

Does that mean it blue screens? :-p jk, don't mod me down.

You are so right that you almost forced me into being redundant.
I wonder why this is even on slashdot. I know there is a bias against microsoft, but don't tell me slashdot is rooting for AMD now too?

I'm more concerned about winamp. I hope someone trustworthy buys the name. I'm still running the last pre AOL version.

There has to be a good Godzilla joke in here somewhere...
Why is this on slashdot though?

But what if it is shiny or has blue LEDs?

Then what is it now? You scare me very much. I believe in one DDR, and it makes my athlon happy.
Liquid CO2 you say? Give it to us nerds. It one way to make the new Intel chips not suck... wait, nm, it would escape again, still produce rediculous heat, and they'd still suck.
well, we can just make them with hydrogen, duh.
Or we could just suppose that computers will eventually be able to assemble matter into whatever food we desire and then beam it down to us.
