NERRRRD!!

AHEM. Perl much?

This poll is surely a hoax. There is no CowboyNeal option.
What is this Slashdot TV thing?
And where the hell are Taco and Hemos?
Oh - I've been asleep for a few years, btw.
What happened in here???

Thanks for all the enjoyment you've given through the care and feeding of this site and all of its inhabitants and indigenous species. Whether it was +1 Insightful or +5 Funny, it's always been a great site to read, and I plan to keep reading for years to come.

I also think it is poetically ironic that I had to type this post twice since my first attempt got eaten by the current instantiation of the Slashdot machine :-)

Best of luck to you in your new full time gig defending your lawn from being trampled by young passers by!

If obfuscation is forbidden by the GPL, there's about a gabillion Perl scripts out in the wild that are in violation.

Did anybody else kinda wince at that?

"Can you access the main system memory banks? We need to get to those files!"

"I'm trying, but it's protected by a security code. I'm attempting to override..."
(tappity-tap-tap)

"Got it! OK, we're in the system. Patching through to the satellite..."

What? No 'Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka'?

'When you've got marklar that offer buyers the choice of buying in the marklar or directly from the vendor themselves, which is what our marklar was, there isn't a real efficient marklar.'

Heh?

Why does it show it having wheels? I can't see from the demo video how/when the wheels are used.
OTOH, I'd like to see how one moves this to storage (e.g. hangar .. er, garage). Maybe you tilt it and
push it in, something like a utility dolly.

Maybe the focus is more on building a working prototype before worrying about such mundane details.

Maybe I should stop asking questions and end this post.

Maybe.

Some GUI's include that sort of capability too.

At the risk of being slightly OT, I'm thinking about several comments noting that these systems were made in China to begin with, so it got me thinking.
If a ridiculous set of circumstances arose where certain organizations banned the use of computers "made in China", is it possible to obtain/assemble a system that's "made in the USA"? Or "made in <NATO_member>"?

I'm just wondering if there's a way to source all the parts domestically and what it would cost. I'm guessing the answer is "impossible", but I'm curious if anyone knows about it.

So, RAID 5 keeps 5 bits safe? 5 bits ought to be enough for anybody, eh?
