The bits are out there. In the aether. You just have to reach out and grab them. Downloading a file doesn't stop you from buying the film/game/software as well. It doesn't harm anyone. So I don't see the problem. It's as natural as breathing.
Baking a cake is actually quite difficult. Someone has to spend time mixing flour and eggs and sugar, fill a pan, and place it in a decent quality oven. And after you eat the cake it is gone. No one else can ever eat that particular cake, but lots of people can download the blueprint for doing so and make a copy for themselves.
Creating VMware Workstation or recording a good album is difficult too. Someone made the effort to arrange the bits in just that particular order, which is valuable. People at Slashdot often say that a value of an album in a music store is an illusion, because no one might even buy it. But that does not automatically mean that the value of the album in the shelf is completely zero, and that it thus could be shared for free on the Internet.
The 3310 is the best phone released by Nokia. This spoken by a Finn.:) Very reliable and responsive device. You can't play Angry Birds on it, but as a bare essentials cellphone it's a classic bastard.
I love the 6xx series cheap-ass consumer laptops. I'm typing this on a HP 635, it's fully plastic but everything sits nicely in place and the machine works reliably and stays cool. And the LED-backlit screen has high enough PWM frequency to not create an annoying flicker present on many other LCDs. The keyboard has a slightly cheap feel, but otherwise there's a lot of bang for the buck.
Everyone does because like many UNIX commands, 'cat' is dead simple and easier to remember than whether it was -f or --file or --directory or consulting the man page to figure out what will convince the next command (in this case, grep) to read one or more files.
You can feed files to the stdin of a program using the '<' operator.
I love it! The mini-Tezro makes a nice package. A little minus comes from its grilles of shiny aluminum -- if I owned one I would soon paint them matte black, like the rest of the case.

This calls for a GOG.com type of service for video.

What's a BlackBerry?
I'm in EU...
Do I have to click the link to see what "this" might be?
Maybe they wanted a higher-level solution to easily draw the pretty HUD.
You are right though, Linux seems way too unreliable and unresponsive for something like a rifle.
I'm wondering what people are actually using the Pi's for. I haven't heard of the killer app to run on these things yet.
That's up to you to decide. It's a hacking platform.
I regularly, like, totally change my typing method between posts.
You could like totally try and figure out who I was even if I typed 5000 words in this post, but you would totally never find me, ye'know what I mean?
But for an unsuspecting target who doesn't realize to change his writing style, it might work effectively.
I suppose the idea that you can bring up authors for a text "out from nowhere" is always an curious concept.
That's kind of an extreme example. But maybe you could be identified across some of those hobby forums?
Does anyone know of alternatives to barium?
I hope you're not considering taking any answers you get from Slashdot seriously. Let's leave this one to medical science.
Lo and behold, just a couple of comments below you, there is a medical student who suggests Diatrizoic Acid as a replacement.
Excellent point.
In terms of repairability Macs are actually not technically superior.
Mozilla Glass!

Well said.
HP's consumer laptops are cheap crap.

I'm so tough guy that I can code in any resolution.
Remember, we're living in the POST-PC ERA. ;)
Ok put price aside for a moment, why do you think a Laptop is better than a tablet?
There honestly doesnt seem to be that much difference other than a hinge and a built in keyboard.
A couple of ergonomic factors make tablet a poorer choice.
Laptop can have a matte display. A capacitive touch screen can be made only glossy.
A tablet you have to hold in some position constantly. A laptop can freely sit on your lap, with the keyboard and screen nicely aligned.
A touchpad stresses the hands much less than poking the screen.
Just because it runs on machines with 256 megs of ram doesn't mean it is supperiorly coded and of high quality.
XP SP3 doesn't even cut that anymore. A bare installation hovers around 384 megs already.

For example: grep Gottfried < phonebook.txt
Heh, they surely fixed an old bug in this release.
Yep, and reading PDFs inside Firefox has already worked using the plugin which ships with Adobe Reader.
He probably means parentheses, in the word "(x86)".
I hate the case

When was there ever a console that would stack?
Well, obviously the PS2 stacks. The slim version is top-loading though.
