Start with a bicycle or go-kart and work your way up. People have certainly done it. Get yourself a bunch of reclaimed laptop cells, build a pressure welder, and go to town on 'em. The powertrain (that is, motor and controller) can reasonably be sourced from eBay, or acquired via surplus.

Yes, I'm working on it. Eventually I'll write it all up and you can read it.

Not everything about systemd is bad, there is plenty good there. The good is why people use it. But the bad parts are dangerous if not fixed. If you'd like to read my progress, I've made some notes in my slashdot journal.

In a city, so it's not stolen, and so it lasts longer. In the country, so it lasts longer and so you don't have to traipse through the wilderness before entering your vehicle.

You don't have to garage vehicles, but it's really much much better.

There's no need to synthesize gasoline, when bacteria will make Butanol for you. It's a 1:1 replacement for gasoline. The same process which produces it also produces ethanol and acetone.

It would be more lossy, also. It might be better to do it without a transmission at all. You don't need a lot of top speed on a vehicle like that.

That's probably what mine will do when I finally decide to upgrade to a newer processor in another year or two. The only problem is that it's relatively power-hungry compared to the C2D that I have doing this now. Well, it's a libvirt server, but anyway

It's Microsoft's attempt to blur the line between *nix and Windows, with the hopes that future morons will go "Well, I guess I don't need *nix"

Embrace, extend, extinguish. This is the same Redmond we know and love.

Summary of the report:

McNally (a team employee) deflated the balls
Brady knew about the deflation
Bill Belichick did not.

I very rarely complain that a story doesn't belong on Slashdot, but this time I will, because this is probably the least Slashdot-worthy story I've seen yet.

This is not news for nerds. This does not matter.

Exactly. Somehow running in console mode has been redefined as not automatically starting EXPLORER.EXE.

I thought the entire intent of SNMP was to create a common management platform.

Why oh why do we have to keep reinventing the wheel here? Well, because Microsoft needs to dominate in any way it can, even if it means imposing its own management tools on other operating systems.

Here's to hoping that they actually go into production:

Congratulations: you've refuted part of my argument, but, by doing so, have made my point. The story you're linking to is about a centuries old argument against the practice. How is this not an example of a religion changing?

Take note of the above, folks.

The next time you scream about the NRA and claim that the 2nd amendment is some sort of "collective" right instead of an individual right, remember that this is what we've been arguing against for the last couple of decades. Becasue once you redefine "the people" in the 2nd amendment, the 1st, 4th, 9th, and 10th are next on the list.

Criteria ... not met. The accusation was "Occupation". And we (USA) actually supported the Muslims in Afghanistan when they were invaded by the Soviet Union (actual occupying force).

You might actually want to review who actually occupied Afghanistan during the 80s
