Japan's Docomo system features an always on connection which is ideal for all sorts of gaming and chatting applications. So I read years ago. It will be interesting to see how this system does now it's finally in Australia, known as iMode.

I might be happy to amuse myself on the train with a game on my mobile, but not if I don't know how much it's going to cost. Instead for the fixed price of $1.20 and mild depression I can buy a newspaper, find out what's been going on in the world, do the crossword and attempt the sudoku. Or even better, borrow one of my flatmates hundreds of books for free.

Can you lodge a tax return on a mobile phone?

Not in the US. (translated from spanish, link to google translation... don't fear that IP mumber :) ).
It's awkward, though. And useful only for 'simple' returns...

Anyway, I agree with your point.

Thanks to Google, you can try Baidu in English.

even mighty Google could manage equally bad translation

it's in spanish and here is the transoogle, erm, googlation:

For the skeptical(I was), here's the kid's blog, auto-translated courtesy of google.
JMBlog, he also links to a bunch of news sites about the incident.
Sheesh, remind me never to visit Germany.

Well, there's this, and a $200 CPU can OC to just over A64 3400+ levels in Doom 3 (640x480, LQ).

Hey what about the radiations ?

The phone jammers use a strong signal so nobody will get a call during the movie (no annoying bells), but every spectator's brain (and body) will get cooked by the microwave effect of the jammer and the mobile phones not switched off...

And of course this system won't jam the sponsored mobiles phones we see on the screen when the good Characters get called by the Evil ones.

Or maybe it is another attempt to prepare the spectator's brain (googletrans) to be more receptive to advertisement ?

Maybe those of us in Chicago ought to have life rafts...

Though this is a joke, one musten forget the The New Madrid Fault Line, and how many geologists believe that a "big one" could eminate from there, causing much more damage, seeing that buildings in the midwest aren't as "earth quake" proof as those in the west.

I found this PDF press release that mentions a Robert Kirkpatrick at All Digital Satellite. Perhaps you can contact those responsible for this site to clue you in as to how you can get in touch with Mr. Kirkpatrick. Here's a link to the actual PDF file at the Winegard company's website.

Here is www.michaelscomputers.com/. Here is Google's cache. Gotta love his claim that, if you have to wait when you click, your PC too slow.

The Internet, and spam, is just providing an unfortunately convenient way for him to acquire these purchases.

The article explains that he used to hunt rummage sales, thift stores, and flea markets, then turned to the Internet after hurting his back. He buys on eBay, and via spam. Spam is just one part of his disease, and it made an interesting story. From the tour his wife gave of their apartment, it sounds like he doesn't need most of the stuff he buys--a typical symptom of hoarding.

Another symptom will be that he is unable to throw away things that he has purchased (like those boxes of vitamins), even if he doesn't need them or they are no longer of value.

OCD medication is usually ineffective for hoarding, but counseling can help.

At any rate, he does not respresent a typical email user, but at the same time, he is not alone. It is unfortunate, but there are people with these kinds of disorders out there, and they play right into the hands of spammers and telemarketers. The sad thing is when people take advantage of them.

What? Who in 1727 came up with the idea of an android (ie, a robot in the form of a human)?

Scottish alchemist Albertus Magnus. (Google cache)

That story is actually true, and is about an electrical generator (I think). It was a sidenote in one of my textbooks in college.

Ah! Here it is: This is a true story about Charles P. Steinmetz, an EE who worked at General Electric.

If it's been pulled, now it's supposedly back.

I'd never use paypal to directly pay for any big-ticket items; that's why God made escrow services.

Seriously, if it's over a hundred bucks or so (definitely if it's into the thousands), I'd seriously consider using an escrow service and paying the percentage... though dedicated fraudsters have gone so far as to set up fakes.

I tend to treat paypal as a convenient money order service for small-ticket items... if I lose, no big deal.

My mother in law owns a Con S450, which started generating the error code (flashing orange/green) ...-o-o-o-o-o-o-g-... repeatedly.

Looking it up on the web, we found this (google cache) and this (google cache).

I'll let people make their own opinions, so that I don't accuse them ... but it seems to me applicable to this topic.

Anyhow, we don't have a fix, nor much expectation of getting one.

Of course he does.

Its kinda funny that he has to recommend his own company on the Internet. I wonder when we'll see a 'bgates' recommending MSFT.

Oh, and if anyone has any doubts that TWCBINC is really Tim Roberts...have a look.

I'm not going to post my play-by-play analysis, but suffice it to say, I agree with you about one thing. Anybody who's interested should indeed do their own research. (and have a few good laughs and amazed slaps of the forehead while they're at it)

What's wrong with implementing OpenVPN- the SSL approach? I suppose it may be difficult for some companies to upgrade . . . but if they require it, and it is a viable alternative- why not?
Would it really be that difficult for somebody to take over the development? Maybe their role could be more to administer the operation rather than code a lot of it.
Also, this (google's cache) or the PDF version of the above claims that FreeS/WAN does not support PKI.

I work at the Media Lab and have often felt that there's a sort of inverse relationship between the amount of (popular) press that some of the projects receive, and the actual value of the project itself. Things like an interactive kitchen counter are a good example of this, so the really interesting work can easily get lost in that.

For what it's worth, the Wired article, however, is way off, including some parts that are just completely made up and has all sorts of wild speculation from the article's author, much to the amusement of many of the people here. The author came in and was looking for dirt so that Wired could sell magazines (this was extremely successful, as that issue did really well on the newstand). This is not to say there's plenty of critique you could make about the lab, there was a Technology Review article, google cached here, written by a talented writer that made many more valid points by simply hanging a few professors with their own words. It's no longer particularly relevant anymore, but the author could teach the Wired guy a thing or two or seven.

Or you could just make it a link and not have to worry about /.'s lameness filter and URL breaking space insertions. Plus the drones like clicky stuff anyway. I never understood why it was so hard for all these people to make a link. You have time to go to the google cache for it and paste the URL, but not the extra five seconds of making a link? You spent more time putting "copy and paste, remove the space" instructions on your post than it would have taken you to just make the link. If you're going to be a karma whore at least make it easier on the readers.

Screw the "drill", why don't you just make a link?

5 extra seconds for your trouble, vs 1000 x 5s for everyone; should be a no-brainer.

Is it really too hard to actually learn how to do a hyperlink? Besides, the Google cache is useless because it doesn't grab images.

Ok, this is the graph of STD transmission among high school students.

You laugh, but this is, in all likelihood a big part of the actual reason. A few years back, for example, they amended the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure to require 14-point type in all legal briefs filed with the federal courts of appeals. Federal judges = old guys (and a few old gals) = deteriorating eyesight.

Are there Windows Media Player choices for Linux? You can use MPlayer, which is free, or The CrossOver Plugin from CodeWeavers for $25.

it's a very good hoax

If you notice, one of the links is googles cached copy. Or perhaps your suggesting Google uses IE for it's spider?

Seems like they either prepared their site for the /. effect or they initially were out to sell this stuff but reconsidered. Take a look at the google cache here and here where you can find out more about prices and specifications.

When will you guys at ZaurusUserGroup learn that you can't post a link to Slashdot of a page hosted in one of your wireless PDAs?? XD

Oh, well........

Welcome

We believe we're living in a modern open World where only sharing the cutting-edge technologies we develop may make our lives better. This is the reason why we chose the Open Source model, the GNU General Public License in peculiar.

Cacko Linux is our new ARM Linux distribution. Aimed at PDA, Cacko Linux uses X11 instead of Qtopia, hence greater versatility, improved portability and better performance which make your PDA a subnotebook in terms of functionalities.

This distribution integrates its own development kit so that it becomes virtually possible to recompile any graphical program to extend your PDAs possibilities to your own needs.

Cacko Linux has been tested on Sharp Zaurus SL-C700/750/760/860 but is currently being ported to other architectures.

A while back, some people went into the jewelry departments of large discount stores (read: Wal-Mart) with a magnet, and found that many of the 'silver' chains and stuff were magnetic. This called into question whether the items were really silver or not. A discussion about this can be found here.

This fascinating paper (also available in easy-to-read MS Word format) postulates that any real attempt at suppression will lead to a samizdat-like interlinking of P2P nets, each comprising a small group of people who trust each other. That ``web of trust'' will still get the info through.

They'll have to try harder than that.

Obviously you didn't RTFA. It was $10USD, not Canadian funny money. The Register article didn't specify which currency he was referring to, but on his webpage (google cache) he says it was US Dollars.

I wouldn't say as strongly. The system has its faults in extremely high initial investment cost. Particularly, the infrastructure has to be built ground up based on not having tracks. At a distance of 750 miles, that is quite a large sum of faith. The 9 year project has already cost an arm and a leg. I'm not so sure I would be willing to fork over such large sums of money like that when other technologies exist that have proven themselves, are cheaper, and almost as fast (~300km/h).

A study done by a railway consultancy group in Germany has postulated through computer simulation models the efficiency of a Transrapid system is about equal if not less of a "standard" (not maglev) railway. In fact, their conjectures show two to three times more energy required over the marketed ramblings of Transrapid. However I can't speak for the validity of this company, and this study was done more than four years ago from which there have been about 50 patents issued since the published article, and there have been 29 patents filed (but not issued), I'm guessing the situation is more like the situation featured by MegaRail Transportation Systems Inc which is still a year and a half lagging.

I know for certain though that maglev has not become drastically cheaper in initial construction. It is only in the chance of longer term fuel and cost efficiencies it may pay off to invest in it. This is why I think 750 miles is a bit far at this point and would be much better suited for changing over the city subway system network in the richer parts.

As of this moment, in rural areas, the Chinese people live in squandor. It really is a depressing sight and the awareness of such situations will spread with the ease of transportation to such areas. When people have more and more free time to devote to issues that they may otherwise glance over in effect to pay a bill, priorities may not always be akin to someone who lives in a more relaxed state. Given a Transrapid system would cost quite a bit, one trip costing roughly 1/20th of one person's income for a month, there should be more attention focused on that of the 1 billion or so population that does not live in the top 1% of wealth for the country. It is not the United States there, and people are not often exuberantly wealthy as they may be in the good ole' west. It is usually governemnt officials yes, but they also have insight into making their lives filled with more power and that of their family and descendants. As a result, the country must prosper the same and it would not be able to do as much through this system.

Of course I am not making China out to be concerned about their people because they generally are not except in the image they may portray to their trading partners, or at least in any public news stories. Rather, the social implications are only a sidestep to other motivations which I have only briefed upon, namely control and power distributed through their descendants. It should be understood that this method values is prevalent all the way to the lower classes except of those in

Futurama has already thought of it. In the year 3000, advertisers inserting their propaganda in dreams is as common and accepted as road side billboards.
