Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Well, it depends on how fast you want it to be. For my home computer, I used the instructions here [ryerson.ca]. It's a little slow for less advanced users, but I find I can surf the web at a pretty good clip once I get going. Of course, splinters can be a problem.

Don't stop at the processor level. The fundamental laws of physics already contain signs of corporate lock-in. The No-cloning feature of quantum mechanics clearly is a sign of DRM built into the fundamental laws of the universe. And the inner workings of about everything we use is tied to the exact laws of the universe we are in. Therefore you have to start at the very beginning: First build your own universe!

I really don't think you should be talking about Bruce Schneier like that when you clearly know nothing about the man. For example, did you know that Bruce Schneier once decrypted a box of Alpha Bits? Or that he knows the state of Schroedinger's cat? It's true! [geekz.co.uk]

I got locked into Ballmer's secret office after he found Linux on my laptop while sitting in the park.

I did manage to escape the MS compound dodging flying chairs!

I built my own universe once, but the startup Bang really hosed up my wife's microwave.

"...Or that he knows the state of Schroedinger's cat?"

Maybe he does, but even Schneier cannot *make* the cat choose a state!

Where did you get this information? Quantum mechanics tells us that Bruce Schneier cannot be observed directly.....
