I mean a six inch screen at $399? What's so revolutionary? I can get a sony ereader with eink right now for $299:

http://www.amazon.com/E-reader-Portable-Silver-E-book-Approx/dp/B000WPXQ2M

and it looks a million times better with less buttons. While I personally want to buy it, I won't until the screen is the size of textbooks or a standard 8x11 page sheet. I hate squinting -- I might as well read off a PDA if they keep insisting on making screens so small. What is so frustrating is that we could have our libraries - every newspaper we read, every book we ever bought, every textbook in such devices already with current technology.

But how long will it be in coming? Will textbook manufacturers stall until the wikibooks project provides real competition on any level?

Will the future releases of J.K. Rowling come in pdf or will they wait until, like music, they can't ignore the market due to downloads they don't get any compensation for?

Agreed. It's a bunch of amateurs writing "production-quality" code and expecting it to be flawless the first time. "Yes mommy, it works! I wrote the code through the night and look, she drives! I don't know why she keeps dying every 40 minutes - must be a Microsoft bug. Those idiots can't even write a decent compiler."

From the description, it sounds very much like their objects were being promoted through to Gen2 and staying alive because they were referenced from the application root. They could have attempted to alleviate this by switching to WeakReferences or queuing calls to run a full garbage collection across all generations. And, hopefully, they were not using finalizers (whole new ball game). Also sounds like they had design issues. I'd like to know why they subscribed already seen obstacle objects to an event. Is the source available somewhere?

If only they had read Jeffrey Richter's book or the articles on garbage collection on MSDN, they could have got a faint idea with what may be going wrong. Remind me to never ever hire Bryan Cattle as a software dev. He deserves to be in sales or marketing, touting his Princeton credentials and selling bars of soap.

On a much more interesting note, which version of the framework were they using on Windows? Or were they using mono on Windows/Linux?

That hardly applies to the US after WWII. While the war certainly cost the US a lot of money, they gained a massive captive market in Europe for several decades that wouldn't have been the same without the war, since Europe had had its own strong industrial competitors to the US. I would consider the US more like the glazier in the parable, since its costs were negligible compared to the benefits, as opposed to those borne by Europe and other parts of the world.

Besides, I wasn't talking about immediate gains from physical goods removed from Germany, which after all the destruction would have been somewhat anemic. I'm talking about intellectual property and patents, which benefited American companies for decades after the war. While it would be hard for various reasons to perform detailed studies of German reparations to the US--not least because most were in hard to calculate IP--some attempts were made. The most prominent one appears to be the book Science Technology and Reparations: Exploitation and Plunder in Postwar Germany by John Gimbel, mentioned in the article I linked to above, which seems to be cited by others as well. I have read the Operation Paperclip book, which talks about rocketry specifically, but similar technology transfers happened in many branches of industry.

Again, I'm not listing any of this as a justification for the war, or a white washing of the war crimes, or anything like that. I still think Germany got away quite lightly in American hands, compared to the destiny that could have befallen it purely in European or Soviet hands. My point was simply that the US benefited enormously from WWII, and some have even suggested that it may very well not have been what it is today without the war.

Since when is Aerospace Engineer or Scientist an IT job?

Scott is an IT guy.

I think that being the author of "Linux Core Kernel Commentary" , "the most in-depth guide to the core code of the linux kernel", which was review here on slashdot, gives him a smidge of tech credibility.

It's an interesting thought. I spend far more time playing games than almost anything else, except maybe sleep (ah, but who needs sleep?) If you're only getting 10-20 hours of enjoyment from a game, don't waste your money on a $40 game. Heck, I usually don't spend $40 on a single game unless its a multipack like Civilization Chronicles which comes with all Civ games up to 4 (but not including 4's expansions), Morrowind GotY edition which includes Morrowind and both expansions, NeverWinter Nights Diamond which is NWN and all expansions, or The Orange Box from Valve Software which includes 5 separate games. If those games aren't your flavor, my wife has gotten well over 50 hours of enjoyment from the $10 Popcap games which I usually buy in bulk: 5 games at $45 or 9 games for $75, or whatever. I never buy those at 1 for $20.

I remember a story from my youth (The Great Bunjee Venture) about an elephant like dinosaur that had a vacuum trunk, was semi-translucent and had suction cup feet. It could even fly (well gently glide down) by inflating its trunk.

Then there are also various Science Fiction books and articles such as "The Heaven Virus."

The Heaven Virus

I see that Microsoft is looking into this now. I hope that there will eventually be an open-source, GPL licensed alternative for backing up the contents of our brains. If so, I would also like to be able to encrypt the backup with GnuPG which is a free implementation of the OpenPGP.

The Bush administration and Dick Cheney would probably require some kind of built in back door for easy warrantless access by the NSA. They might demand government access, in the name of looking for terrorists, child molesters or perhaps even critics of Bush administration. Another problem might be, that during the discovery phase of a trial, courts might demand a copy of the backed-up contents of various defendants brains. Lets hope that there wasn't anything somewhere in our lives that court system or the government wouldn't approve of. Would courts demand the encryption keys to the backup copy of the memory of my life?

Oh, I almost forgot about the RFID chips that may supposedly eventually implant in our foreheads or the back of our hands. They might even try to tie the two technologies together in some privacy invading way that the average citizen would not like.

You get pulled in by the police, if you're really not guilty, the only smart thing to do is cooperate.

Oh yeah, cuz no judicial system ever punishes innocent people or doles out cruel punishment or breaks its own laws. Gimme a break.

What do you even mean by "cooperate" here? The police and judicial system in any country do NOT have your best interests in mind and police WILL trick you if given the opportunity (in fact, are trained in this way to gather information/provoke responses from the accused). Why do you think it's important to have a good lawyer? I doubt whatever that dude did during interrogation accomplished anything, but I don't see anything wrong with it (perhaps it was unwise, but who knows).

Fortunately, there's a good manual on protecting your rights in the U.S. when you get arrested. It's written and backed by activists, who deal with police all the time.

Not all of us are fortunate neough to be able to travel to London. But earlier this year when I was obsessively reading about Colossus, I contented myself with Paul Gannon's Colossus: Bletchley Park's Greatest Secret . It does a great job of explaining how that whole big centre of operations worked. It made me wonder, though, how similar today's military codebreaking centres like Ft. Mead are in terms of comaraderie.

Agree on both points.

Oh, and I don't think we have to regret missing out on progress like Monju, whose reactor technology AND the supposedly trustworthy approach of Japanese regulation both were hailed by the likes of Richard Rhodes (in Nuclear Renewal: Common Sense About Energy, 1993) as the salvation of nuclear power. Two years after his book came out, both Monju and Japan's regulatory agency failed spectactularly. I'm juuuust fine with missing out on that kind of progress.

In the "not what it's intended for, therefore it's cheap" category, I often use a synthetic cutting board placed on top of a pillow. The feet grip well to the board and it does not heat up like wood does and provides good ventilation. I place a non-skid mouse pad on one end when I want to use a mouse (or you could glue one on). A bonus feature is when it gets dirty, you can just throw it in the dishwasher.

This is not the one that I use, but just find one that's the size that you need - http://www.amazon.com/Vision-Easy-Grip-Cutting-Board-White/dp/B00013KR72

So hey, oddly enough i've been looking for almost exactly this sort of device. my situation is slightly different, but my needs are mostly similar. specifically, my PC gaming setup (and PC working setup... only one PC) is now in my living room: my monitor is my 50 inch hdtv, and my keyboard and mouse are set up across the room, about 10 feet away. for gaming, it is beautiful, blah blah blah, meaningless materialistic drivel. the point is, i've been attempting to use a mouse and keyboard from a frigging couch. needless to say, this is a concept rife with issues.

without any alterations, my mouse hand would have fallen off after the first hour or so. i did stumble upon a solution which sorta works.... i put my wireless keyboard on my lap, and put a pillow under my right elbow, and then the mouse on the couch surface. the pillow provides enough support that i can work/game like this for hours, as long as i take frequent breaks.

anyway, the relevant stuff: this set up is tolerable, but it's crappy enough that i've been shopping for a new solution almost non-stop for months. i haven't really found anything, in all honesty. i found that lapinator thing and a few similar devices, but for my mouse-hand needs, they just wouldn't cut it. i need something that can offer wrist/arm support for the right hand, otherwise i'm screwed. that being said, i DID find some things that might help the poster. specifically, BED TRAYS.

bed trays are... well i dunno, i'd never heard of them before amazon decided that they were PRECISELY what i was looking for. as usual amazon was wrong, but at least i now know what they are. just head on over to amazon or wherever the hell you want and search for bed trays. they're like little TV dinner-type racks, except designed to be propped up on the surface of a bed, couch, chair, futon, whatever, straddling your legs as you sit. pretty neat, i thought. and some of them are damn cheap.

like i said, they didn't help me, so i'm STILL looking for a solution (suggestions warmly welcomed!) but they may just help a chair-bound laptop user.

I know it sounds funny, but if you're looking for a 'lap desk' why not check out lapdesk.com? Seriously, I have one of these (got it as a Christmas present last year, had to search google for a bit just now before I even found who made it), and it works very well. I have the "Jumbo Lap Desk", and originally used it for doing crossword puzzles, but soon found out what a great laptop desk it made. The cushion underneath is very soft and comfortable on my legs while the flat surface allows my laptop to vent properly. You can find the one I got from organize-it-online.com, Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.com (and amazon again... it looks like exactly the same product, but for a different price... I don't know).

The version I have is around $15, but it looks like the manufacturer has plenty of fancier models as well.

I find this topic and the arguments around it fascinating. My grandfather was imprisoned in Poland under false pretenses for five years. He had to negotiate for toilet paper. He performed many hunger strikes to win things like reading material, one time starving himself for 28 days. Seeing this manual is fairly chilling for me.

Many times over the years when I'd talk with people about his experiences, they would reassure me that such a thing wouldn't happen in a healthy constitutional democracy like the US. The cruelty and Kafkaesque behavior of his captors was relegated to the sickness of communism to be sure.

At some point long ago I realized that wasn't the case, and that we were very much capable of similar evils. Some people wouldn't agree with me, but here we have the plain as day proof.

I'm sure a percentage of the people reading this post think "who cares if they're mistreating suspected terrorists?". To each of you that feel that way, I would say this: if we had this conversation about my grandfather and communism before 9/11, or perhaps if you read his book, you'd have condemned his captors to hell for being so awful.

I love this country dearly but I'm ashamed of much of what we're doing right now.

Also: if the manual reads to you as being "not so bad" remember that it is very different when you're on the other side of it. And remember that it's just a manual: the real day to day life there is bound to be far more questionable.

I wanted to buy one of those machines for watching video in my living room , but then I found that 100$ flash player , no fan , no noise ,no OS, tiny and sexy and I bought it. It's amazing and I can play all my axxo Bitorent downloads on it, I even take it to the car with my kid's movies. I think I need one with 16 GB for my bedroom. Oh yes , no boot time its always up... http://www.amazon.com/Sansa-TakeTV-GB-Video-Player/dp/B000XB4P8Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1194984371&sr=8-1

Well, one thing I wonder if there is useful stuff that is in MULTICS that the Linux community will look at and try to port into their OS

While the source code of MULTICS hasn't been Free until now, the internals of the system were well-known. MIT even published a technical introduction. The Free Software community has already realized all of what made MULTICS useful in its own projects, and this opening up of the code, far from revealing something useful to today's hobbyists, is really just for historical study.

Cheapest player I can find in the UK costs £180 (~$380) which, to my mind, provides so little utility over a £30 DVD player that it's a pointless waste of money to me.

Go here, scroll down a bit. There is one there for $150, about.

I don't know if they'll ship to the UK, but even if you add shipping, it's still not much. HD-DVDs themselves are region-free. It may cause problems for your 30 pound DVD player, though.

HDCP/HDMI? I purposely bought my TV early so it wouldn't come with one (although the DVI port is HDCP compatible) because I object to the idea

Do you run Windows?

it doesn't exist yet for any of my graphics chipsets (either nVidia or Intel).

So you run nVidia. Do you disagree with binary kernel drivers?

Besides, you went the completely retarded route -- your player supports HDCP over DVI, so it does support HDCP. So all you objected to by going with that TV is HDMI, which is actually a nice little plug.

That said, most players now will give you component output. It absolutely does not mean you're stuck with standard definition. So, the question is whether $150 is worth it for you to watch movies in HD.

I can understand why this all might come off as luddite-ism, but I really can't see any benefit in jumping to HD-DVD at the moment.

No, I was with you, I understand. I still don't have a player at home, and I can see maybe sticking with an HD TV signal, as those still have a required unencrypted compatibility port, so you can plug em into a Linux box. But price is no longer an issue, and DRM is only really an issue if you are in the strange situation where you're OK buying/renting DRM'd DVDs, because they can be cracked. Trying to go completely DRM-free is admirable, but not really practical right now. (Although for what it's worth, Blu-Ray requires AACS and allows more, while HD-DVD has a maximum of AACS, and allows DRM-free discs.)
