I had this same problem with my boss's computer, but worse, not only did it have 3 or 4 different 802.11x detection problems installed, but they were all turned on! At first I tried to just turn them off, but I'd turn one off, another would come on, and so on. Eventually I uninstalled them after I actually found them all, and now the wireless works just fine on the Windows version. That laptop is still filled with crap, only being a centrino tablet, it really bogs it down. In hind sight, I should have just wiped the thing clean and started from scratch. Popups, a desktop filled with icons, dozens of annoying programs running in the background, it was awful and took an hour to get under control.
This was a Toshiba, my friend's Dell was just as bad.
Indeed, if these are such great works, why couldn't they survive 'translation' like so many of the great works of drama and literature that were translated from their original forms? Everything from Sophocles to Moliere was written in another language, but seems to hold up very well, despite their age and translation. It's not like the original text will case to exist.
I've read 3 complete works by Shakespeare, and continue to have trouble with the language. Perhaps I'm not the brightest guy out there, but depriving people of classic works because they aren't the best and brightest, well, doesn't seem a way to fix anything.
He's not impressing people with no interest in the arts. He's sure not fooling anyone who even casually takes this seriously. I guess is supposed to be a joke on both Star Wars fans and students of literature, but where is the Monty python foot next to the submission?
It's interesting how when the left groups together Middle America or Christians, founded or not, there is plenty of outrage over "arrogance" or whatever. However, when environmental issues come up, they have no trouble throwing everyone in with PETA, the ALF, or the ELF.
The fact is for the vast majority of environmentalists, maintaining and improving the current standard of living in the long term is really what is important. This is what the movement is about.
Have you ever noticed that both liberals and conservatives feel the media is biased? It's because they give attention to the squeaky wheels, and the views of the majority are rarely reflected. The media is after eyeballs, and outrage is easy to sell. Putting everyone with a concern in the environment in with the ALF, is the same kind of unfounded, reactionary FUD that you say you are so repulsed by.
I think this is why you see so many bright people out there who are just utter crackpots.
They are so busy thinking about how easy this stuff is for them, how much better they are then everyone else, that they don't really learn anything. They end up with no knowledge of the scientific method, a belief that nobody agrees with them because they just "don't get it", and a disdain for the "system" that tried to hold them down or whatever.
It's not about having the most popular show, it's about having the least cost per person watching the commercials. So, sure, maybe the next crappy reality show gets half the ratings, it's a better deal if they can make it for 1/5th the cost.
Having networks become more and more the McDonalds of entertainment I suppose was inevitable. It's more important that nobody hates it than anyone actually likening it. What's sad is, we don't have anything to spice things up a bit. None of the specialties that make things inserting, because those are the ones that stand a chance at failure.
Wait, I thought Ragan killed communism? At least that's what the media kept saying over and over again for a full month last year. And the unbiased media wouldn't lie.
Yeah, I have to agree. Despite the fact that I've been using Linux for several years as my secondary computer and router (though only now and again). I still have yet to really learn it. I mean, yeah, package managers help, but what about highly complicated things, like Apache and SQL? Sure, you might say that a beginner shouldn't be running those things, but how many GPL applications have come to depend on my MySQL? What if some piece of hardware doesn't come supported and requires some sort of patch? And don't even make me get into Dependency Hell. Sure, maybe there is an easy way to get these things working, but I don't know them, and the OS isn't much help.
I use Linux because it's reliable, I believe in open source, and the price is right, but, I'm not a comp-sci major, I can't spend all my time getting this stuff to work. I'm not saying we need to "Dumb Down" MySQL, I'm just saying that it just needs to be more helpful, if I want to run MythTV, I have to start services that I have no idea of the security ramifications, and if it breaks, I'm out of luck. I don't have a week to learn it, I have other things to do.
I understand the desire not to repeat MS's mistakes, but I think people could really spend some time figuring out what makes the MacOS and MS Windows easier for people to use, beyond just using 'wizards' or whatever. It's something else, the OS helps you beyond just providing a manual.
Right, so since I personally don't use the freeways or highways when I go to work, the whole system should be abolished. Never mind the fact that the benefits of commerce and safety benefit me significantly. I don't personally get the benefits directly, therefor I shouldn't have to pay for it.
My friend did exactly that, and earned the name 'CPU Killer' doing it. Unless you know what the heck you are doing on a mill, save yourself the money, just spend a few bucks on a commercial built water block. It comes with proper mounting hardware so you aren't trying to ziptie the thing to your chip. After the fittings and all that your, not really saving yourself a lot of money. Make sure you get one that will resist corrosion, beyond that, nothing else really matters as long as it dissipates the heat; a heater core is just fine.
Hmmm, someone really ought to use their waterbed as a heat sink.. cool your computer and heat your bed at the same time;) Even if the water got to 100 degrees, it'd be enough to cool a CPU with a decent amount of flow, right?
Honestly, I think it's a Photoshop; which really makes some red flags go up.
I'd see very little reason for them to buy the parts from a several thousand dollar light for something they could build with a little milling, a couple stepper motors, and some off the shelf controllers.
No, this is just some cheep little trick with a fancy webpage. The corporate equivalent of an ad in the back of Popular Mechanics.
You know, I am not one to generally criticize Slashdot for it's mistakes, dupes, slant or whatever. It is what it is. I just wish that the posters or the editors would give just a little background on the stories submitted, even if it is just a review from the last time it was discussed.
There are people on this forum with a great deal of different backgrounds that may not always be familiar with the names, companies, and situations involved in stories that might interest a causal reader, without him or her having to dig up research just to know what the story is even about.
There is a saying that I heard the US Marines use.. "There is no such thing as a stupid enemy."
People really like to think themselves above the people that they oppose, and that is really the most dangerous attitude you can have. Its how you get over confidant, how you underestimate your opponents and get into really bad positions. And on the other side of the coin, think that you are too smart to fall for scams and people like this, and that's a dangerous place to be in, because someday there may be someone who really does pull it off, and you might be the person left holding the bag because you assumed that they'd be too stupid to get you.
Did you actually watch that Episode? It was not making fun of her at all. He was playing the part of the idiot, in that interview. It was about making fun of the congressmen (?) who was trying to change the voting age to 16. Not that that really saying that that is right or wrong, just pointing out that she was not the one they were trying to make look unreasonable, despite the stupid questions.
I work at a small lighting company, we do a lot of corporate events, and I can tell you, even the little 4-5 hour ones we do cost some $50-100k. The big companies spend millions, on just a party or a conference. The amount of money these companies spend on this kind of stuff is enormous. And I mean not just for advertisement or for investors, but internally as well.
A bus, no matter how fancy, would seem pretty quaint by comparison to a businessmen. They exist in a whole different world then we do.
I don't mean to sound anti-progress, because I almost certainly am not. But.. I DO worry about if putting things up into space is THAT cheep, well, are we going to see satellites that instead of being built to be reliable, are built to be deposable? Space junk is extremely dangerous, but if we are not careful, that problem could explode on us.
Sure, this is LEO, but no doubt this could be used to make a fourth stage or some such, to get into higher orbits.
I would LOVE to see this succeed. We just need to be careful. We don't want things to become impassably dangerous because of junk on the verge of space really becoming more like an achievable goal.

who happen to be starving because of the socialist government they live under
Right... because no capitalist countries are poor and have starving.

Shouldn't that be 6.28?
It is an X-box -360- afterall.
Shocking? Yes. Unusual? ... I guess you don't have CompUSA or Best Buy across the pond there.

It's all about blurring the lines.
It will be premieredm at 8pm in hall 6CDEF.

Damnit, where were you 2 weeks ago?
*looks at his brand new 450 powersupply, with a meter up front reminding him he only uses 100 of it.*
Cellphone is used for how many minutes per hour on average... maybe 5 ?
You obviously don't live in Southern California.
You forgot the Neon Lights!

At first I thought the headline said "First-Ever *Pirate* Spaceport Nears Final Approval"
Now THAT'S news.
