Don't be so defensive, I'm neither supporting or opposing your point. I'm just pointing out that your understanding of the purpose of disabled bays is flawed. I hope you never have to use one.
I would like to draw your attention to the eBay listing from which you purchased your universe.

I wonder if slashdot will even be round in even 25 years time. Perhaps the internet will be replaced in much the same way that BBSs were. Please feel free to point out why this wouldn't happen...
This has to be one of the most interesting factoids I've read on slashdot. The difference in numbers is counterintuitive until you factor in the reasons you describe. Thanks!
Lets say 314 kbit/s is a ballpark figure for youtube bitrate.
That means roughly 26,000,000 more Japanese could watch the latest lonelygirl15 installment at once.
Also it's roughly 36 Mbit/s for blu-ray quality content.
That means roughly 210,000 more Americans all at once could watch as much HD quality tentacle related entertainment as they wanted.
Of course if you half those numbers they could share. This could be the beginnings of a great cultural enlightenment for everyone involved!
Because crying "straw-man" is fad used by unfortunate individuals trying desperately to sound intellectual. It's a term that is used mostly by people who don't appreciate the meaning. Those who do, rarely see the need to bother.
My girlfriend is Japanese but really likes Korean style kimuchi amongst other Korean things. She makes some every once in a while and my refrigerator and house get pretty stinky. On trying it I found it's way too strong for me but I think this is a clever ploy. You see, she's found something that I don't find delicious and won't eat all of in seconds.
When I saw this article a couple of weeks ago I forwarded it to her and she had a good laugh. "Ah, so the Koreans are fueling the rocket this time?" she said.:)
Zealot: Hey Hubbard, check this out... Hubbard: What is it? Zealot: It's a new device, I call it the e-meter! Hubbard: Whats-it-do daddy-o? Zealot: Well, it's actually a modified client for a popular bandwidth test except this one measures your 'theaton level'! Hehe. Hubbard: Wow! We can just send this client out as a world-wide spam-blanket and no more need for street canvasing! We'll be rich, rich, RICH! Zealot: Mwuhah... oh no! I've just thought of a problem. Hubbard: Oh? What's that? People won't be convinced by their super-high theaton level and immediately sign up for our brochure? We won't be able to stop re-distribution of beta versions on ebay? We can't use them to zap unbelievers into submission with? You look positively deflated my friend... Zealot: Mmmm, no.... half of America is on Comcast... Hubbard: Haha! Fear not my little novice, haven't you heard of PowerBoost? Zealot: Mwuhahahaa... Hubbard: Mwuhahahaa... Zealot: Mwuhahahaa... Hubbard: Mwuhahahaa... ...
If you think the kinds of people we're supposed to be detering can be called 'little ones' in any kind of cute and cuddly way, you are sorely misguided.
The harsh tones you hear are probably caused but the fact that the devices's frequency is above the nyquist frequency for 44Khz. The result is lower artifacts and harmonics which are audible although the orignal frequency is not.

Hold on There, there's No Need to Capitalize on the Situation.

Maybe you mean Wozberry?
The wide bays aren't to make parking easier dipshit. They're like that so you can fit your chair in between your car and the next one.
I was just thinking about this scene last night when I watched the trailer for the documentary...

If you think that's bad, wait 'til you see this. We only have 30 years left!
So is lingerie. I don't know about you but I certainly wouldn't pass an interview. Hmm, maybe I need to go more slutty.
Surely it'll just be used to take over the world with giant triffid like corn beasts. Just saying...
I use cr0n to schedule my jobs every morning. cr0n contains lots of fibre and helps to reduce (ahem) "server load".

I'm all for peace and harmony and all that, but that was pretty funny.
He who contols the spice, controls the universe. Well, at least the little bit of universe our Korean friends find themselves in.

That's part of an interesting problem. Now that we've achieved intergalactic travel, where the hell do we go?
As soon as I get home... :)
You're not thinking big enough.
I can just imagine a modern day equivalent:
