Ummm, the USSR hasn't been in business for like, um, 20 years? You need to get out more.
Not if Putin has his way. He's gunning for a Soviet reUnion. 'This week he has unveiled a grand vision to create a “Eurasian Union” linking old Soviet neighbours, foreseeing a “powerful, supranational union, capable of becoming one of the poles of the modern world”.'
I wish I had mod points. Awesome.

Is this the beginning of the end of SOPA? EA, Sony, Nintendo and others pulling support. Maybe the ESA itself will pull support if enough of its members do. I hear Microsoft and other ESA members are pressuring them to abandon SOPA...
Do you have any idea how many different subjects Congress has to deal with? Do you really expect the members of Congress, elected from the general public, to be experts in all of those areas? If YOU were elected to Congress, how many areas are YOU an expert in?
I can't speak for Congress, but I was an elected member of a city council in my lifetime.
I can honestly say that my real area of expertise is computers...everywhere else, I was decidedly weak in knowledge, at least compared to experts.
So when a bylaw crossed our desk that I didn't fully understand...I did my FUCKING JOB and worked my fucking balls off doing research to make goddamn sure I understood what the bylaw was proposing, and why I should vote for it (or, conversely, vote against it).
Seriously, it is their fucking JOB to figure out enough to know whether or not a law should be voted for or against, not what some asshole with a suitcase of money tells them to do. You don't have to be an expert to learn enough about a topic to make a sound decision.
Slashdot needs to go to eleven. +11 Excellent
If anyone is surprised by this, they don't know Sony.
But then you are tied to Red Hat.
If you don't want to be tied to Red Hat, you won't buy Red Hat in the first place.
I'm dead. I can't vote.
my old laptop that i got rid of this year maxed out at 48mb and had a 1.2 gb hdd
i would have kept it, it had no battery though and i didn't want to root it's password since it was still a floppy drive model. (no optical drive)
but it ran debian and windows 95 just fine except the bsod problem with win95, and not remembering the debian password.
So, it ran great, except for all the problems that it had.
Therefore, the test of my new tinfoil hat design was a resounding success!
I too giggle at the humorous sound effects in nethack.
DETHKLOK RULES! wooooo \m/
If I had mod points, I'd +1 this for the use of "Dan Brown" as a verb.
Well, it is just about the same size as the first iPad. I got a Griffin folio-style case designed for the iPad 1 for $5 from Verizon. It's a perfect fit for the Touchpad.
I don't care. I got a Touchpad for $99!
whee
