I'm not an electronical engineer but I do believe that traces are layered. Typical PCB's in production hardware like computer motherboards have I think at least 3 layers. Although this is all up to the complexity of the hardware as well as who designed it. I know they can have less and I dont see why they couldn't have more layers. Some of the more intricate traces may be hidden. Either that or Nintendo has received hardware specifications from aliens;)
You really can't beat buying used cd's on Amazon and ripping them to your phone. I don't typically find a new artist every month that would justify paying 15$ a month for this service. I'd rather buy one cd I like for a possible 5$ a month used than pay this fee every month when I may not find a cd. Fact of the matter is that there's not too much good music out anymore and if there is, a lot of time it won't be on these music services initially. That's another viable point, what type of selection will they have and will it expand quickly? Maybe they'll be smart and not offer the new K-Fed cd;)
I actually use the "site:whatever.wtf" search criteria quite a bit but I don't really ever think to use it to get rid of sites. I typically have quite a few in mind that I don't want to see, it's just that experts-exchange.com always fools me into thinking I've found a good resource and then BOOM! 100$ membership fee to look at the resolution. There's enough great free information out there.
It also wouldn't be/. without a user getting fiesty when someone legitamitly reads TFA and looks for his point but gets tired of reading through all the jokes/trolls to reach the meaningful posts when his answer hadn't been modded into recognition at that time.
For all you people who want to spy on your hot neighbor (including myself, come on, I live near the University of Florida), I have to ask. If you are redirecting light around yourself, you won't be able to see anything yourself. No light will reach your eyes. I suppose something special would need to be employed for this to work. I remember reading about this when studying the effects of light within black holes but please correct me if I'm wrong.
I work for a south-eastern video game retailer (Rhino Video Games) at their HQ and we aren't doing any system prebooks because there's no way to know how many you will receive until pretty late in the game(no pun intended). It's first come first serve and most of the customers don't mind this. It also sucks for us being the little guys (72 stores) because we don't get as much of a pull to reserve systems from the vendors and that also hinders our prebooking abilities. Then again, EB and Gamestop do have a habit of prebooking items way in advance and then not being able to deliver. Maybe I'm bias;)
I always make it clear to anyone I talk to about politics that I, in all honesty, am very ignorant when it comes to the subject. I can obviously give you my opinion if you make a proposal to me but I will openly tell you that you should probably seek another opinion. With that in mind, it still doesn't take a rocket scientist to know when something sounds shady, as is the case with this. I understand willfully giving up personal liberties in the interest of national security but at the same time I feel like it may be going too far. It seems almost each month I've heard about government either abusing their current powers or attempting to gain more. What will happen when we are longer at war(whenever that is), will these powers be released? I have a bad feeling they won't. But like I said, I am no expert so don't take my word for it.

He obviously cheats at more than just games, in this case the English language. Zing!
But on a serious note, cheating for me (and I'm sure quite a few of you slashdotters) takes the fun out of the game pretty quickly. For non-multiplayer games I ALWAYS finish the game without cheats as it was meant to be played before I go looking for cheats. Afterwards, if a game doesn't have much replay ability I will use cheats just to mess around. I don't cheat in multiplayer games because, for the same reason I don't do it in non-multiplayer games, it takes all the fun and challenge out of the game. More so the challenge for multiplayer games though. No longer are you just outwitting the AI, but you are actually outwitting other people or at least trying. This is where the thrill and adrenaline come from, not from cheating.
Any user who is looking to buy the PS3 for it's HD capabilities will already have the HDMI. I don't see the problem with this decision so long as they include a way to use a composite connection.
If Frontpage was any hint of things to come, I'll pass. When I was in HS (computer tech. academy) that's what we used because they couldn't afford licenses of Dreamweaver. Once I used Dreamweaver I swore I would never go back. I don't understand why they would only allow it to support ASP.Net. Or maybe I can ($$$). I personally can't stand programming in ASP. I've always hated it. When I was asked to design our corporate intranet I immediately jumped to PHP with a MySql backend even when ASP.net and SQL [Express] were openly available to me just to stay away from ASP. Perhaps I'm bias but come on... Developers aren't going to limit theirselves to one language when they can buy another suite that will allow them to use a gamut of languages and database engines together for most likely an equal price. I would rather use Notepad.
When I discovered the internet about ten years ago (when I was like... 11) everyone thought the internet was this huge monster. My parents did, parents friends, friends parents, etcetera. And to be quite honest they had every right to think that. That seemed to be the general thought about the internet, everyone was out to get everone else. My parents always worried about who I was talking to on the internet and at that age they should have, although they were never overbearing with it. I will say that while it may have made me "antisocial" in the sense that I didn't want to go out and "play ball" with my friends, I made stronger friendships elsewhere with people who could relate with me. By that I mean online AS WELL AS in real life. Meeting people who had the same interest in the internet would immediately bond us. In a sense it made me lose friends who didn't share the same interests but I gained other ones whose friendships have transcended the years.
So when will companies really start pushing this technology from thumb drives into the world of hard drives? I read an article a while back that someone was doing this but that's all I have read since then. This seems has to be the next logical progression in computer hardware development. Once we get there, us mp3car guys will be very happy;) This could also pave the way for more commercial applications of car pc's in commercial vehicles.
My roommates are vegetarians. As soon as they catch wind of this they'll be up in arms about cloning being unethical as well, bah. I eat meat in front of them just out of spite. We've been omnivores since the beginning of time, what's the big deal? I don't see predators in the wild choosing a lovely head of lettuce over a lovely head of human.

Well that's what they get for not updating and running Internet Explorer 6/7! It's not even version 1.0!

Maybe now I can finally make it to stop showing me results from experts-exchange.com when I'm looking for tutorials!

And I've already installed the beta... maybe it's only beta spyware as well ;)
It got corrupted ;)
Yeah, believe me, when you work next to their warehouse where all of the old stuff is stashed, it makes it hard to save money.
Choose.... wisely....
