I hear they're gonna make a 128 GB card the size of your fingernail.

This OS uses only 700 MB. I tried rolling my own live system, but I couldn't get the compression down that far, or the speed as high. It even supports persistant changes.

Spam! Oh no, sorry. I just thought so by my habits. ;p

in scct versus as a merc you can't grab a fucking thing when falling so you better be happy!

I like that feature too. Surprised me the first time, but it was one of those "Oh yeah. It's like that." moments.

Does this happen with ropes and vines too?

Wow...what a very creative product name. LOL, yeah, they're looking to be mauled by that bear.

In Finland there is a place called "iijoki" like "ii-river." I always wondered when those i-phone folks will sue their asses.

Maybe they do this to get their name known... If you see "Apple sues X" that's advertising for X. Also, there were MP3 players called IRiver. I don't think that manufacturer got sued, but this is surely over the line.

I'd guess sunk costs in old infrastructure.

voice requires barely any quality/bitrate to understand. Just look at Speex/Opus

probably because digital can be knocked out by a solar flare, volcanic eruption, heavy rain so they still need a form of communication that isn't effected by these and other natural effects.

let me translate taht for ya: problem is your life, pipes mean toilet, capture the flag means you have to be there first so you ahd to take a massive dumb like a boss during sleep... or you're going to die in agony... soon...

Well I ate a bunch of large chocolate chip cookies yesterday, so that might have had something to do with it.

you mean they were poisoned?

EDIT: I mean low-pass filter. It sounds like the highs are cut-off. Its so easy to confuse high-pass and low-pass filters.

I'm always open to hearing better examples if people have them.

I really wish we had a full suite of leather moccasins on all these various floor surfaces. Just for realism.

So true.

I wonder exactly what it is that makes me find this so funny though. Is it because it is so rare? Is it because we expect more mature behavior from adults?

Probably because the amount of shit being flipped is highly disproportional to the amount of money spent at the establishment. "The biggest arguments are often over the smallest things". Yeah, the amount of ice in your diet coke is a pretty minor issue, really.

Macgyvering things is always a bad ass feeling

In research, you often have to do stuff with non-optimal makeshift bubblegum-fastened gear. I wish I sometimes had the perfect tailored tool for the task at hand...

Been there done that, when working on motorcycles over the years.

I don't know what the hell that thing is but I suspect that LexisNexis will find out what you eat for breakfast every morning if you install it

that's 20mins of your life you cant get back.

A 6-core... in a cheap case... is NOT impressive.

well it clearly depends on the case, dosent it...

...At least its better than been in the plane that crashed!

the san francisco accident? :-o

I was gonna say "its not touching the desk" but I discovered... a USB hard drive in a metal enclosure that is sitting on the lower portion of the desk (where the tower would go) that happens to be plugged in. Said lower portion is also made of metal.

Thats dangerous

I can do all that with Dos......cause I rock.......shut up

Have you ever rebuilt an HP system with a generic mATX motherboard? Will it fit? I did it in a VAIO a long time ago and I had to rewire the front ATX panel because it had a proprietary connector.

Yeah, but very rarely.

Raise your hand if you've ever made a component reach tripple-digit temps in celsius!

er, so many times I can be considered Jaded... :-)

Yep, the fix didn't involve changing the run speed at all.

I still remember in some old version of TDM, the player was able to hit himself with his sword by running forward and swinging at a particular angle. It cracked me up when I found it.

That better be an Intel P3 or later... or else sizzle sizzle...

Well. There are many excuses to buy a new, shiny and better laptop...

How many times more secure than Sony?

Folks mock Sony because of things they've done in the past, but as I sit here using a 10 y/o monitor and 9 y/o headphones, I admit they've made some good stuff in the past.

very nice

Well, hack your tablet and opus support should be around the corner too. That said it's good to see the community keep improving the old hardware.

I remember that was always the standard spelling of the word in WoW "need rouge lfg!!!", during the times when rogues were overpowered instead of pointless.

Hey they're back to 2nd spot after Mage

AKA

- dude, where are you?

- im in ur base, killing all ur d00dz

And also - doing so in a computer game.

PM Komag and ask really nice

I have the latest set of Komag DVDs and it's one of the best things a taffer could spend money on.

At least it keeps your state in /tmp, so all I had to do was repeate a couple of operations to get back to where I was... but every user still goes "****!" when the window just disappears like that.

Probably some Murphy law

When I think about it, it still doesn't make sense. Shouldn't the timestamps on the filesystem be updated during the prior normal shutdown process after the date was changed?

Erm.. I have no idea. Of course, maybe..? I would call the Tech support about this! xD

And a great reminder of how DirectX really dropped the ball. Lovely, so glad I decided to learn GL instead of DX back in the day.
