The only way this film can be good is if Reloaded and Revolutions turned out to be mere simulations

Being that the loonie is about $0.78 to the greenback.

Earth will be a miserable place long before that. Like, surface temperatures over the boiling point of water in about a billion years. We better not be ugly bags of mostly water by then.

Lemme guess ... Google's own ad sales don't provide for interstitial ads.

The ISP appears to be these guys

So the Tesla floats like a duck?
It must be made of wood.
Like a witch.
And what do we do with witches?

I'd rather see faster IO than built-in wireless. I can easily add a dongle for wifi or bluetooth if I want it, but the current architectural constraints mean the Pi's not a great board for a low-end, low-power file server.

The likeliest explanation is that Amazon is no longer paying Canonical enough money for this to be default behavior.

This is a Canadian thread, so the proper reference is to the Currency Act ; specifically, s. 8(2).

Coins are legal tender, but only up to a maximum number of coins depending on the denomination. The most you can use in one transaction is 100 (dimes or nickels).

And past this post, no further information from Slashdot ever reached my location.

And centralize for national surveillance

This will come with a 1.5 gigabit cap to keep the "bandwidth hogs" at bay.

It has nothing to do with expenses. Very few people know how much is the running cost of their car. They just want a new excuse to buy something new.

You might want to retake your civics classes -- I don't think you understand what a democracy is.

The USA is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.

The UK is a Constitutional Monarchy (with a parliamentary implementation of executive powers). It's essentially a Republic.

Switzerland's referendum process makes it more of a democracy. Their current constitution was only adopted in 1999 with direct democracy (through referendums) being a bit over 120 years old or so...

So, I hardily agree with you. "Lets not confuse pompous pronouncements with facts.".

it is 2010, my old athlon XP i bought in 2003 already has two sata ports, my GFs old Pentium 4 has SATA hard drives. I switched to only getting Sata drives in 2005. I really am curious where you found a 2006 machine with NO sata port...

besides, my fav computershop (actual shop with their own stock), lists 4 different IDE drives on their shelves (and in stock currently, the fifth type isnt), ranging from 80 to 320 GB.

Ram and VGA cards tend to be a bit more difficult, but if you dont mind paying a bit more per performance, AGP cards are still readily available, as is DDR ram.

I still agree with the GP though, restoring old machines (esp. servers) often isnt very economical once you need more then one or two spare parts, but for non-obscure hardware most parts are still available (come to think of it, i can still buy socket A mobo's new....)
