I think that if you bought better cables to hook the VCR up to your TV you'd agree with me that VHS is better. Obviously, cheap equipment isn't going to perform well enough for you to see the difference.
Will rubbing alcohol do? Or do you need to use hydrogen fluoride to kill the bugs? If you want to have a keyboard that will stand up to X antibiotic, then you need to tell us what X is.
I'd recommend getting a waterproof keyboard and disinfect it like you'd clean a trash can. But if you're going to give it a betadine bath, you probably want something that won't discolor.
Just like vinyl sounds better to an audiophile's ears than a CD, videotape just looks better to a videophiles eyes than a DVD. The digital technologies are just cold, and they don't reproduce those high harmonics, which are impossible to see or hear, but nevertheless make a performance sound or look "alive".
Earthlink is bad for this. They charge you for every month that you use the service, even if you don't connect during the month.
I use Access4Free, and they charge by the hour, with a maximum of $10 for the month. And if you don't use the service during the month, they don't charge you anything.
Price. My Samsung cost me $500. It was the cheapest one I could find with a net server built in. I would have bought a used HP from Goodwill Computerworks here in Austin, but my wife wouldn't let me. I could have picked up a working Laserjet IV for less than $100.
I've done better. I've never bought from Lexmark, period. And, I've never bought an ink-jet printer. Don't know which ones will cause me these kinds of trouble, and I don't want to spend the time to look it up. I'll just keep using my Samsung laser printer.
It's hard to parse. That takes cycles. You can probably tweak the parsing to make it faster, but that might not get you from 20 concurrent to 2000 concurrent.
You've got two choices. More processors, which are pretty cheap right now; or a simpler and more specialized language to replace XML.
I don't know the entire story. In fact, I don't know any of it. All I know is that Jon Katz has a bunch of 40-something overweight yappie kickme terrier owners positively gushing over his stuff. He couldn't be happier.
As far as I know, Katz hasn't returned, and I doubt that he'll be back.
He was here writing about geeks because he wanted to find a sycophantic audience that would eat up every word he wrote and buy his books. Instead he found a very harsh climate, and was ridiculed for his transparent coat-tailing with every article he wrote.
So now, he's writing about dogs, having found an audience that enjoys his sort of writing, and are much much less critical of him.
I was really liking the metal CD boxes they were sending out a while ago. It came with only 1 AOL CD inside, but it's big enough to hold 5 and keep them from getting scratched.
Culture? That's not culture. Anything that you have to go to the store to buy, packaged in cellophane on a CD is not culture.
Culture is a part of who we are, and is free for any person to claim, just by being born and living in a society. To think that culture comes in a box or over a DSL line is just stupid.
I am not a Dentist! Now that's a new one for Slashdot.
Seriously though, they work. Even the cheap ones work. At least they won't hurt you if you follow the directions, and if they do, I'm not a lawyer either, nor am I a millionaire that you can win money from. Before I spend a pile of dough I'd try a cheap one from the drugstore first. But that's me, and my teeth aren't yellow.
Something interesting you may try with your radiometer to prove to yourself that it is not light radiation propelling it is to cool the device. You'll discover that it turns the opposite direction.
Radiometers don't spin because of photon pressure. They spin because the dark side absorbs light and heats up slightly. In turn, that heats up the air just next to the vane, and the molecules start moving faster. The molecules on the black side hit the vane with higher force than the white side, and the rotor turns.
That's really a brilliant idea, and it would be fairly cheap to do. Or you could make a special closet. The entire server closet could be made from cinder blocks, including the floor and ceiling. Put a fireproof door on it, make a rule that only computers (no paper or anything flammable) goes in the server closet. Should be about as safe and cheap as anything for the home. It could even be build in a corner of a garage.
I agree with you completely. I just looked at some scons makefiles and one thing was apparent: Python makes a terrible language to specify dependencies in.
I've looked at many many different supposedly better replacements for make. None of them do the job as simply as make.

And they have national dialups.

For a rocket with testicles that large, there's not nearly enough smoke. Is that what you were referring to?

Funny, Katz writing about dogs.

This is Slashdot! Apologise immediately for injecting facts into the discussion!

The ears are the last pieces I need to build my very own spammer zombie.
My cell phone is nailed to my desk. It's definitely not a mobile phone.
And, I discovered that this reponse is also incorrect. Even Britannica still gives the incorrect explanation that I wrote above.
This is the right answer.

Anyone working on Debian compatibility packages for the 2.5.x and 2.6.x series? I've been searching around and haven't found anything yet.
