Slashdot Mirror

Actually is there anything this guy can't do? Right now he's a hot marketing item. I'm sure his 15-minutes of fame will eventually end, so I hope he's cashing in now while he can. I wouldn't mind having a finite amount of fame to build up my piggy bank.

Yep. The site is slashdotted now so I can't really see how big this think is. I'm not quire sure I'd want to carry something around if it was bigger than a normal PDA.

Smack your momma good deals!

I think it's a bit too heavy for most people. I know a lot of people that don't use it enought durin gthe day to really worry about battery life. Usually they are back home and can recharge, if they remember.

However, I'm sure there are some people who would sacrifive weight and portability for the extra battery life. Campers, explorers, hikers, skiiers, etc... Anytime you slap a GPS unit on it and head off the beaten track, you will probably appreciate the extra battery life.

Although I'm not too familiar with this game, it would be another way for the PS2 to get a notch up if the game turns out worthy. I guess the game is probably written for the Xbox now and the company just wants to find some more funding to release it, but if the game is pretty fun and gets ported to the PS2, Sony might end up wtith another developer exlcusive to the PS lineup.

Might be slightly off-topic, but I agree with this. I have enjoyed Fox's coverage much more than CNN's. Not only in this news event but also others. I have noticed that CNN is quite a bit more PC, while FOX news seems to give your the direct information.

Woot, Woot! Hot Sunday deals are rolling in from all the major deal sites. Slickdeals, Ben Bargains, Techbargain and more!

Maybe if it's cheap and disposable enough, they could just be transmitting the pictures back to a remote location. Then if the plane did crash or get captured, they would still have the data they were looking for. Cheap and disposable would be the best solution for these micro planes.

Sony does certainly hace the hype machine in the thier court. If Microsoft starts to release the Xbox next before Sony releases the PS3, then all Sony has to do is start leaking rumors that they will be releasing the PS3 at about the same time Xbox next is going to be released. Then all the people more interested in Sony will wait it out, instead of buying an Xbox next in the short run.

I do believe that this round backward compatability is key, as well as network multi-player games. In addition to those, the console that adds the most multi-media functions as an easy side-task will get my dollars. I'd love to have a game machine for fun, as well as a HTPC for DVD playback, video/music streaming, PVR functions. I want an all-in-one box at a low price, and I don't want to have to hack it to get that.

I agree with another Slashdot poster, (can't remember which thread now), that each game ought to haave 2 servers. A strickly monitored fair game server, and a free-for-all cheat server. Cheating is cool in single player games, it just ruins the multi-player games though.

Is it petrified? I can't imagine soggy wood being to good for anything other than making pulp for paper. I don't want some rotten 2x4's to build a deck. My deck can rot on it's own as it is.

At least we slashdotted thier site. So I guess there is probably a gap in there where they didn't get all the data they were looking for.

I wouldn't pay it either, but Id be happy to accept all mail from www.*.mail if I could be sure it wasn't spam. It would be good for Yahoo, MSN, and other web mail places to get a .mail domain.

Hot deal search engine. Better than google, froogle, pricewatch, pricegrabber, etc!

How much disk space do they give you? Is there a limit on the number of attatchments or size?

Hot deals. You won't be sorry!

I remember when they first started sueing, the file trading slowed down for a while. I think it went back up though. Do you think most people think they won't get caught? After all, when there are hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people on a p2p network, sueing 532 people is only a fraction of the overall filesharers.

Windows had a huge head-start. KDE and Gnome are now as stable and have more features, so I bet Micosoft will be taking cues from these desktops soon. Not to mention that a new windows desktop comes out ever few years at best. KDE and Gnome add features regularly.

--
Mad crazy deals. You ain't see nothing yet!

Different desktops exist for different people. It's easy to change back and forth to figure out the one you like best. I think that merging the two would stiffle features in the long run. It's best to have 2 competing platforms. Ultimately each group will incorporate the ideas from the other platform, but competition is what drives innovation.

Tons of electronics deals updated in real-time. The most powerful listing known to man.

This is a rather large company doing it. I think it's tacky. They should have a better marketing and advertising department than to pull a stunt like that.

I think the real dream is to see if your site could withstand a slashdotting. As we've seen before, only the largest sites make it through a huge spike in traffic. I've always wondered if my site could handle it. Hostrocket is my provider and I think they have pretty substantial bandwidth and higher-end servers.

If you want to add a few "hits" to my page and see lots of good deals on electronics, Click here.

Yeah, the goods are just getting better. You can always improve an item by adding features, but I'l like to see some real new inventions/gadgets. TIVOs were pretty hot at first, now they got competition and HTPCs being built with free software. Wireless will be the latest thing to get integrated into everything. Wireless DVD players, home phones, hand-helds, etc. Soon if an electronic item doesn't have wireless it won't be able to compete.

Check here for the best price on tech gear. Sundays are crazy with all the new store offers.

In a controlled situation, you wouldn't have any problems with condensation. I imagine when they turn the coolers off, they would want to bring the temperature back up to room temperature via a controlled sequence. You will get condensation if you go from that cold to warm rather quickly.

As a Linux newbie (currently don't have Linux installed, but have used it and plan to install it soon), it would be nice to know which are the most popular packages. Most people would like to have an idea of what the more experienced users use, and thus would like to try it themselves. In addition to knowing the most popular packages, it would probably be a quicker install be having the best ones at the beginning of the installation process instead of having to swap CDs too many times.

Putting together hotmail, MSN, and AOL will create the largest newbie base on the Internet. I can forsee these users contracting tons of viruses and comprimised machines to be used form spamming. Luckiliy, with that many people the spammers will spam them and leave the rest of us alone. However, with all those newbies, it would be a huge chance for Microsoft to propogate thier propaganda to those most nieve.

Where did you read that? I though that Lite-On's were pretty good. I've been real happy with my Lite-On 24x CD burner. I don't think I've ever burned a coaster with it.

I just bought a Lite-On LDW-411S dual format drive. I hope I'm not affected by this. I wish I had read the article before hand, but as of now I haven't had any problems with -R, +R, or +RW discs yet.

They should have used a wifi standard. They could have sold to a larger market. Many cities (ie, Verizon in Manhattan) are putting up wifi hot spots. Then you wouldn't be limited to the office. People could also use it around the house if it could patch into the POTS network.

Someone could use it around the house while watching TV to alert the wife that a new cold beer is needed.

Real-time deal updates from major deal sites.

I can understand combining a phone, camera, and mp3 player since they are all features that fit into a nice small form factor. I think that this will put a lot of the mp3 players and lower-end digital cameras out of buisness. After all, everyone wants a cell phone, why not get an added feature for just a $$ more. Combining a hand-held game however doesn't really fit the profile though, as with the N-Gage.

I thought the noise cancelling headphones worked because they were right against your ears. I wonder how this fan mod works since the speaker is so far away rom your ears. I would suspect that you could be in the position that the fan noise and echo cancelling waves would combine phase and cause even more noise.

This sounds good, until the low-end people realize they are missing out of many of the important graphics that others are seeing. Sure it would be nice for everyone to be able to run the game, but I think most people would want to fully experience the games. I think this idea would fall apart on online multiplayer games. In a FPS, I would prefer to have as much detail as possible. Of course the low-end machine gamers will be shooting at the moving block instead of seeing a fully rendered opponent.

Why must everyone be involved with music these days? Pepsi, Coke, Starbucks....

What's next? I'm going to get a free song with a Happy Meal? I guess there are a lot of execs out there that think if you don't offer music in one way or another, then you must be doomed. I esitmate that in a few years, we will be back to several high quality music choices.

I agree with this post. I started dealsites.net to make a list of all the popular deal sites. With so much advertising spam, I wanted to list only the sites that I felt were repuatable. You can search deals across multiple sites as well as get a list of sites with a similar theme. This is a niche site and isn't complicated.

I agree. Google searches are pretty good, but a lot of times you come up with tons of junk sites. If the first page of Google results is not what I want, I usually click the Groups tab to perform the same search there. Those two types of searches usually get me what I'm looking for.
