He graduated from Great Bend High School in 1944. There's a plaque there on the north side of the commons area, right behind where I sat playing Gameboy with my cousins during lunch. I graduated this year, and I met him my freshman year.
if your internet connection is anything less than fiber, which is about 99.9% of all connections? Not to mention the fact that not many computers can actually handle that much data at once anyway.
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Isn't there some limit to how much you can increase performance by just putting in more cores? And besides, if they get up to 32 cores, that thing's going to be huge, not to mention needing a huge heatsink and fan.
I can see where parents are trying to protect their children, and since it's only at school, and they're only there until they graduate, it probably doesn't matter. Like I said, there's ways around it, like going home to my nice cable connection that isn't shared by 1000 computers. (I pity you people without at least DSL. I really do.)
I graduated this year, so it doesn't really matter. Besides, if I REALLY needed to get something from the internet to a school computer, that's what my 512MB jump drive's for.
Except that the FCC had absolulely no jurisdiction over the internet, except maybe for wireless connections, and even then, it can't regulate what goes over them.

How much does fiber cost?
Screw WiFi, I want free fiber connections.
Done and done. It's here in Great Bend, Kansas.
And I figured I was the only slashdotter from Great Bend.

Rest in peace.

Now my compy's not fast enough anymore. And I'm on a budget too. Damnit!
More like when: Probably never, at least the Non-DRM part.
Now I can lose my watch that much easier!
Edit.
What's the largest non-privately owned supercomputer? And can I play Doom 3 on it?

Have you tried said mod? And is this for PC, right?
Athlon 64 with 64MB of cache!
You thought I was going to say beowulf cluster, didn't you?
Portman.
I bet the liberal media's feeling pretty stupid right now.

It mostly filters out hate groups and stuff like that, but then they banned webmail and Google image search. That really pissed me off.
And how would they enforce any law prohibiting "offensive" or whatever blogs? Nobody controls the internet.
It won't work. It refuses the connection for Knoppix because it requires a Novell login to access the internet.

Too bad my school district filters the internet. I really hate Novell Netware.
How did this get a -1 rating? It should be modded informative or at least funny.
