Generals don't typically take questions from random people on forums like Slashdot
When I was in the USAF I wrote a letter to president Nixon, and recieved a very nice and polite reply from a General. So Generals may not answer random people on the internet, but they do answer random servicepeople who write the Comander In Chief.
They have conquered WWW and Email, now FTP, next on their list... NTP! Yes, hacking through your clock, I can see it now! Malware which will make you either cronically early, or late!
I can see the headlines... "Cheney's Pacemaker Hacked by Chinese Militants"...:-) One can only wish.
This is off the topic for the summary (but on topic for your comment) but if Cheney goes duck hunting with Bush we could have the first woman President.
If Cheney shoots Bush in the face accidentally while duck hunting (well it happened once before, I'd never go hunting with him) and suffers a heart attack as a result, and both die, then House Speaker Nanct Pelosi becomes President Pelosi.
I'm not too lazy to read it, but I refuse to read C|Net. Two paragraphs per screen, and each screen is filled with so many blinking shiney flashing ads it takes forever for each page to load.
And under $1000? WTF? They're comparing a $999 laptop with a $250 laptop? Isn't that kind of like comparing a compact car with a mid sized car? One more reason to avoid C|Net like the plague.
I would think the safest thing would be to have to physically interface with it to program any electronics in it. Once they've sewn one into my chest (thank God heart disease doesn't run in my family) I wouldn't want it to be programmable!
What's sad is, like I said in one of my journals last year (and I was once chastised for not warning that it was not entirely safe for work, despite the lack of graphics), a big dick won't get you laid. By the time she finds out how large or small it is, you're sliding into home plate.
There are definite disadvantages to having a larger than average member as well. It's disgusting when you're sitting on a toilet and it dips into the water, for example.
That said, you do have to pity the poor sap with an extremely small one. Some of my friends sit around laughing about some of their clients' members.
So when the MPAA touts a shiny year for DVDs, Blu-Ray is probably poised to make them eat their words.
Blu-ray IS a digital video disk. It's just one with a higher capacity that allows a higher resolution. It contains the same movies and the studios make the same (more?) profit from them.
The technology doesn't matter any more than the box your hammer comes in matters. The Blu-Ray DVD is just a container for what the industry is selling.
Every other driver on the road is a menace in my view, and so am I. The question is how much of a menace? I would posit that daydreaming while driving is probably the most dangerous thing you can do because your attention isn't on your driving AT ALL.
I'm sure glad the device in my eye (see my sig for details) is focused by the eye's muscles rather than electronics/motors. Some things shouldn't be networkable.
Oh yeah, the oblig: We are cyborg. You will be assimilated. resistance is not only futile but you won't resist, you'll beg to join us..
She has one. She's the woman who divorced her alcoholic wife-beating husband and is supporting three kids, that asked if you wanted fries with that last night after cleaning your neighbor's house all day because YOU and your neighbor are too damned cheap to pay your employees a living wage.
You want her to stop pirating? Pay her better. Pass some minimum wage laws that will actually allow a family to survive.
The three driving emotions for people are greed, fear and greed.
No, not for people. Only for those who worship the almighty dollar. Yes, there are a few at slashdot. But for most people the three driving emotions are fear, despair, and desperation. We are fearful, despairing, and desparate because of the selfish greedheads we produce the wealth for.

Torture? I'd rather have a root canal than listen to Republicans OR Democrats!
I'm at work. On my lunch hour. It's not my computer and I don't have the right to install anything on it.
But what about a beowolf cluster of geometric rocks?
I call your mother the "160GB flash drive." That can't be just a co-incidence.
There, added the link to "your mom".
You're welcome.
My PC at home has a combined total of 100 gb hard drive space, including HDa, C:, and D: and I'm nowhere near filling it up yet!
I could have a computer without a hard drive and it would actually work!
I wonder what these puppies are going to cost, anyway?
Since when was hypocrisy one of the seven deadly sins?
There aren't seven deadly sins. There are ten. Wikipedia, unfortunately, does not quote the KJV. But then again neither does my preacher.
The "seven deadly sins" were cooked up by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th Century AD.
However, as to hypocracy, Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Modding myself down with the "no karma bonus".
I want them to get the pacing rate right BEFORE they sew it in.
a Linux-based ultraportable notebook that wowed
;)
Yeah, but what about flutter and harmonic distortion?
Anyone know what a LNX Code 8 Mobile CPU is?
Google knows.

It's sad, that used to be a pretty good site.

Ironically I spent the first part of my life in Soviet Russia, litiraly
In Soviet Russia, commentor responds to YOU!
=) sorry, couldn't resist! (=
As if having blinking shiney flashey crap on the internet isn't bad enough
Spraypaint!
Old joke from the '80s: How can you tell if there's been a blonde using your computer?
There's white-out all over the screen!

Yeah. It's eight bucks, and I can't swing it. I'm fucking poor.
Those damned hookers get expensive, don't they?

People like you make me sick.
