It's called a joke o_0 I don't like these guys any more than the rest, though this particular article just seems pretty pointless, it's like haha look how stupid the RIAA are, I mean we all know that, but what are we doing about it beyond pointing and laughing?
Have you heard of these iPod thingies? You know, the ones that cost more than equivalently specced devices, but just look a bit nicer? The ones that millions of people seem to think are worth it? I certainly don't think they're worth the money, but a lot of people do. Same goes for nice looking cars, etc.
Anyone with taste? Having said that, I have a HTC WM6 smartphone and it works pretty well because it can connect directly to our exchange server, and has a great slideout keyboard - much more useful than the touchscreen only iPhone (though my HTC device has a touchscreen too of course, makes navigating menus and such far quicker, and should I ever need Remote Desktop on the go then the option is there)
Oh but I beg to differ my friend.. I have been there.. I have felt that which you can only dream of.. I have licked that which you shall never taste.. I have done stuff you're only ever gonna find if you disable 'safesearch' on google images
Who's cock do I have to suck around here to get Slashdot back the way it was two years ago? You know, when it didn't suck so hard? See, I think you're going about this problem the wrong way. Your solution (sucking random cocks) would logically just add to the general sucking force. May I suggest that you try blowing instead?
Oh so you mean it kinda does what Apache does when you get an error (including, but not limited to, 404s), except it keeps the list of redirect pages on a separate server? Sounds like something that should be allowed a patent to me, I mean it's completely non-trivial!
While I've not shot many weapons, I am aware of all those things - the actual aiming still comes down to up down left right though (though obviously you have to adjust the sights for distance and so on, at least on the rifle's I've used). By the sounds of it the aiming of the gun still becomes second nature though so that you don't have to think about it, it is just an extension of your body, as the mouse is for most people..
They just had an ex-industry insider (from relatively high in the ranks) condemn them to our congressmen. They really must be evil! I've never seen such irrefutable evidence in all of my short adult life!
NB - I think we all know that big corporations, and especially the pharma ones tend to try to sustain their business model even to the detriment of society, but if you're going to give evidence then it would be nice if you could be more specific?
I don't know about you, but I never really think about the mouse when I play games like that. And when you aim a gun you only tend to aim using two dimensions as well - or do you prefer to move the gun forwards a bit when you need that little bit of extra power?
When they say 'violent groups', they could in fact mean controlled detonation, mining, building high powered engines, that kind of thing? No? Oh well. I am admittedly a member of a martial arts club, but the people there are a lot nicer than the average person that you'd meet on the street..
Don't you think that 'science, engineering and medicine' graduates is quite a wide range of people? This study could just as well end up with the conclusion "arts students or those without higher education aren't motivated enough to be terrorists", or "would be terrorists that don't have scientific knowledge tend to blow themselves up before they can get anywhere in the world of terror".
PS if you fucking disagree with me I'm going to fucking mailbomb all your fucking email addresses and DDoS your remaining fucking servers.
Quite serious actually, teehee. I didn't want to disappoint her, but she really was just too much of a standard girly girl. She even though Wiis were 'geeky'! I mean.. how detached from reality is that? She did change her mind a little once she realised that you could just swing the controller to play tennis and such, but it was all getting a bit too much for me. In the meantime I've drowned my sorrows by ordering a 40" HDTV to complement my Soundrocker gaming chair (built in subwoofer and speakers!) and steering wheel setup - now THAT'S geeky:D
Killing in the name of has an excellent instrumental start though, which lasts quite a while. Thanks for an idea for my ringtone! Usually I just use a normal phone style ringer.
Those with disabilities tend to have specialised cars though. In the UK the vast majority of cars are manual ('stick shift' for those possibly going whaaa?) rather than automatic, so it does become a question of car control unless you're in traffic moving at a constant speed. It is also a matter of attention though as you say - passengers tend to know when to shut up (well, most of them - my girlfriend used to get pissed at me for not listening even when I was having to divert my attention to navigating roundabouts. Thankfully we split up last week:) ), while those on the phone don't have any clue what kind of driving situations you are coming across.
because I read teh fine article maybe? Just talking about the wireless specs here, not the full laptop. But as someone else pointing out, POE only works up to 15W so that's where the whole reworking the infrastructure comes in, I get it now:P
I thought you were going to point out that people all over the world advance technology, culture and so on, but apparently it's only the ones that are american citizens;) I don't really get patriotism to be honest, though if I went to certain parts of Africa which you point out are far worse to live in than parts of the 'western' world, then perhaps I'd understand why people think it's worth dying for a country..
A laptop, 802.11n
Suckin 18 watts, instead of 15,
It's way less than a lightbulb, on a dull day
But the article author thinks there's no way
And isn't it ironic, don't you think?
No, sorry, can't see the irony there. And ffs for the 3 extra watts per base station/machine, it amounts to switching on a couple of extra lights at the company. I know it's still better to save power where you can, but needing a new power infrastructure to support it? You have to lol. *sigh*
In this case I'd gladly pay the extra for XP, until such time as there is no Microsoft option but Vista. I was running 98 until a couple of years ago, then I bought XP Pro just for a game. Then consequently got a work laptop that runs XP Pro anyway, currently I've got WinXP/MacOS on a dual boot, though I mostly just use MacOS when I just want to save power when browsing or listening to music on batteries.. anyway as you can tell, I don't tend to use pure monetary reasoning when buying hardware or software - if it's something that I'm going to use for a few years (and I do tend to have systems for several years, maybe upgrading the video/sound cards, buying more RAM and whatnot every so often), I'd rather spend the extra money just to get what I consider to be the best system. For example I'm never going to buy myself something with a Celeron/Sempron equivalent if I can avoid it, it's crazy how pathetic their performance is compared to the 'real thing'. There probably wasn't much RAM in those Celeron based systems I used here at work (I think it was about 1GB, I ordered those machines for a couple of people that had machines that already worked fine for what they did, but their boss thought they looked too old and wanted new stuff, and in fact I think was more concerned about his staff having pretty TFTs rather than CRTs), but like I said - for the extra money it will cost, and the amount of time that you will use the system, it's not necessarily worth taking the cheapest option.
As the other respondent said, the RAM should be there for the apps, not the OS. It is hardly wasted, because your OS is there as a servant, it is not something that should need a large amount of processor power or RAM just to manage the hardware and power a GUI. If you're needing 4GB just so that the OS runs snappily (presumably because it's no longer having to page 2GB of OS crap the whole time) then obviously Vista is wasting a lot of RAM, and you have to ask - WHY? When you can have a perfectly usable Linux distro running on a RAM disk on a machine with only 512MB of RAM (as a not too extreme example, because I'm sure you could do the same on a machine with 32MB of RAM if you wanted).
Honestly, it's like developing more efficient engines for your car then adding on a whole load of weight that completely negates any benefits.. (car analogies FTW!). Most car manufacturers are adding the weight in in the form of safety measures, which is good in a car - but the DRM and whatever other bloated gubbins that has been added into Windows isn't of benefit to the end user, unlike safety features in a car.

I guess this moderator thinks that 'troll' means "I didn't understand a word you just said".
It's called a joke o_0 I don't like these guys any more than the rest, though this particular article just seems pretty pointless, it's like haha look how stupid the RIAA are, I mean we all know that, but what are we doing about it beyond pointing and laughing?
These guys are getting too much attention. If we ignore them, maybe they'll go away?

*whoooosh* (you just summarised his entire point)
It's base singular. You just killed it :(

I haven't RTFA myself, but would the client not in fact be the normal Amazon servers, while the server would be the dedicated error server?
Oh so you mean it kinda does what Apache does when you get an error (including, but not limited to, 404s), except it keeps the list of redirect pages on a separate server? Sounds like something that should be allowed a patent to me, I mean it's completely non-trivial!
