Someday we'll have a name for every possible personality quirk. I have an intense aversion to pruney fingertips from taking long showers.. I wonder what they'll call that? Incidentally, I've already found a cure - (shorter showers)
right, i'm gonna quit my job, sell my house, and move to fucking Idaho so I can play games.
Or, I could start Steam in offline mode. You don't need an internet connection to play single player games.
Did he ask if he could try it out before he did it or did they ask for his assistance? Nope, throw the book at him.
I agree.. It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before. The guy had plenty of time to consider the potential repercussions of doing something like this.
The article doesn't mention what occurred in the time between sending the letter to the university and sending it to the students. If he didn't give them a chance to respond and ask for time to address any security issues, I'd feel even less sorry for him. Maybe he sent it to the students after being threatened by the university, but why would he deliberately make things worse for himself?
I know that slashing is a penalty in hockey - swinging your stick at an opponent, but I have no idea what "dot" has to do with anything..
Kind of odd that a sport that involves fist fighting doesn't allow players to even wave their hockey stick at someone
yeah.. "Rise of the rat-brained robots" sounds way cooler than "1 volt signal causes 100-microvolt reaction in rat brain neurons"
They could have measured the same results just with input and output wires.. no need to hook them up to sensors and motors.. they just did it for attention.
If you're really desperate to restore a CD, I've had excellent results with micro-mesh. I've started with 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper, then gradually down to 4000 grit micro mesh, and polish with micro gloss
micro gloss contains aluminum oxide powder, which I believe is used for polishing polycarbonate eyeglass lenses. The sanding process doesn't take off as much material as you might think. Just start with the minimum grit that will remove the scratches. It only takes about 15 minutes to do one cd by hand.. but still not very efficient if you have a lot of CDs to repair
Interesting idea... I don't really know much about encryption, but having the passphrase stored in a file on the same machine, no matter how large, doesn't seem like a good idea. I guess keeping it on a USB flash drive would be somewhat safer.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, I just hate it when all the oceans fall below 3.5 ft during a drought. :P
The obvious solution is legs, with tracks for feet, and wheels on the tracks.
oh man, I have that too... I suggest we form a support group.

Well it's good to hear he's back on the right track
try it with Mojave!
frictionless butter? buttering an ear of corn is hard enough with conventional butter.
that gives me an idea for my next invention.. stupid living paint! Then what?
I've got it - inanimate cows!
fwiw, I'd rather have my kids experience their first goatse on slashdot than on 4chan

me too! every time I have to disable that stupid thing, I find myself yelling "JUST GO!!!" at it.
well you can barely hear them when they're between 130 and 11 billion light years away
It used to be cool to be an Apple fanboy. Now it's starting to be embarrassing.
I wish this had been the first sentence in the article. I wouldn't have wasted my time reading the rest of it.

Yeah, that one's getting old. Here's another one.. "You can't cheat an honest man"
it does seem awfully gimmicky.

Thank god for microcomputers.. how else would I run my dumb terminal emulator??

I say just have everyone hang a brick off their bumper directly behind the tailpipe

"Honestly, we hate it when this s*** happens, because we want our FAN to have any new songs first."
Ah, but what if the only thing they find in your pocket is a tempura shrimp?
