Future of Wi-Fi

1) Are you being serious? Remove the ethernet/card/ if you think removing an ethernet/cable/ is going to do you any good. 2) Are you saying that you intend to have your wireless network set up so insecurely that anyone with a WiFi card can access it? That brings up two points:
*) Dont worry about your kids, watch out for your neighbhors. They'll be riding your connection faster than you can know
*) Just dont give your kids a WiFi card if you dont want them to access the wireless 'net. How hard is that? To/not/ do something?
In short, I no longer wonder about shittily-raised kids. Please dont spread your genes any further... Of course we already know why the stupid people keep having kids..
This actually sounds like a great idea, sort-of. But why have write ability at all? Think about this: You update your site, finish with everything you were going to do for a while, no one has any reason to be writing to the disk for now, unless they're doing something they shouldnt be, so you flip a switch.. and writing is now utterly, 100%, impossible, without having physical access to the machine. [which, in general, would make your data doomed anyway] Obviously there are problems regaurding remote-administration, but something so simple that/floppy disks/ have had a similar option for as long as I can remember. This wouldnt just be flipping a bit, though [as obviously to a malicious user this doesnt really matter], but would have the effect of opening up the case and bending-back the write-head's control pins. So why not? ["If you really want to, burn it to CD.":: that works for all those 600MB web sites out there (yeah, I know, I'm sure there are plenty of respectable ones out there)]

I really want to know where these people come from who have "Spare" HD space. I find myself buying a new HDD with at least double the capacity of the last one I bought at most every year. And that isnt to move files over to, that's just new space, which becomes half-filled again within a couple of months, and then eventually is filled by the time another half-year rolls around.. when I start the proccess again. While I sit here wondering whether Moore's law will ever allow the supply to truely catch up and surpass demand, I hear a Slashdot post talking about "Spare Gigs". Look, if you want to be dumbasses about HDD purchases and will only need 5 GB of space ever, in your life, buy a 5GB drive at some obscene seek speed, and then send/me/ the 80 or so dollars you've just saved yourself by not buying something with "Spare Gigs"
a point has been made. While I still believe that the rotary action of a blender's blades make for a more efficient all-purpose blender, specifically for a martini, linear would make perfect sense.
so how long before we create Super-AIDS to wipe out Regular-AIDS and replace our immune systems with unstoppable terrors which fight off any disease with 100% effeciency?
unless it bothers to explain the study in detail. You remember that survey that said 90% of Americans flush the toilet before they stand up, right? Be sure that anyone spouting knows to check the survey as well as the results.
I'm all for starting with universal constants, but the fact remains that no matter what you start with, the units you use will remain arbitrary. Unless we want to divide time by exactly a "Planck interval of time", we're going to be scaling it. So maybe a Planck unit of time is a universal constant , but if we still use "Planck Minutes", "Planck Hours", etc, it is still arbitrary. The problem is "to the power of ten" is _not_ a universal standard. In fact our entire base-ten system is just as arbitrary as our day/24 system. So a day isnt a universal constant. So what? Saying that we divide it by 24 is no more or less arbitrary than saying that a Planck minute is 10% shorter than a 'regular' minute. Why not multiply the Planck unit by 11 instead of 10? Wouldnt that just about clear up the 10%? [yes, I know, ~11.111, so sue me. The point is that the two are just as arbitrary] I wasnt going to say anything, but then I took a glance at the Hex-Clock page, which actually suggested that 16 divisions were somehow less arbitrary than 24 divisions. Is there somebody out there who actually believes this? I, personally, like the idea of using universal constants as the basis for some time scales. But to suggest that this somehow makes the way we talk about time non-arbitrary, that seems far-fetched.
Actually, yes. This will eventually happen. "Movies", maybe not, but I expect that at some point either Lucas will Crack or Die, and we'll see a slew of horribly bad titles claiming the Star Wars name. An animated Series of Zahn's saga on the Sci-Fi channel could be good, but then, it wont be, so there. Hey wait, this is horribly off-topic, why the hell am I posting this?
those other studies which said that gaming increases coordination, reduces stress [over long-term, not while playing], and didnt slashdot post about a study saying that while there was a correlation between video games and violence, there was no evidence that the two were related? Damn, slashdot's search page sucks in all respects.. Anyway, those links were hastily pulled up, I'm sure if you bothered to spend more than the three minutes I spent looking for them, you'd find more.
You need LOTS of that! And once you have a game idea, do it again and again, and again, and a bit more too, and then again, until it is considered its own genre, and then it's own industry, and nobody notices that it's all the same thing.. and sucks.. yes.. THEN you strike with the colored lighting. Catches them off-gaurd, see.. heh heh heh.. hehhehe...BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!
I made an encryption alg which is completely unbreakable. It uses numbers. I got the idea from mathmaticians while studying numbers. Holy FUCK ain't that keen?! Let's make a news story about it. Nah, just use what I just told ya.

Probably just the slashdot effect. You guys should be more careful who you link to!
You know you want three. Admit it.

Demand better by demanding to be given less. Refuse to pay for what you do not want. Your company will save [at least] thousands.

a Blender is Rotary. You do not want a linear motor. Dumbass.
