Nay, the 2405FPW is 24 inches of non-sid-scroll bar 1920x1200 widescreen action. Behold the live high definition baseball footage in the picture in picture window (the beast has component video input).
Just under $1000 shipped.

You sad little man with absolutely no resourcefulness at all.

I love the t-shirt. It's evil.

Yes, so the world can know about the conditions you are living in, and can press the authorities about it.

These people deserve privacy.

If a group of refugees want to hold a press conference about mistreatment, that's a different story.

It might be Google.bucks, or it might be an unnamed earlier part in the public Master Plan a step or two before Google.Gov. A pity they can't roll THAT out at this point; they at least have some understanding of infrastructute....

I, for one, would welcome just about any new overlords, given the quality level of the current one. Frogs to Jove: King Stork has not been an improvement over King Log.

I find the flickr whatsinyourbag photo thread to be a lot more fascinating and less biased.

called "whatsinyourbag" Let's take a look at http://flickr.com/photos/tags/whatsinyourbag/ 'cause is very cool :)

From what I was able to find the photoghrapher in the picture actualy saw the black man go into a store and come out with food. While in the second photo the people were outside of the store and just grabbing the food as it floated through the no existant doorway. http://www.flickr.com/photos/triciawang/38922728/ there is more info at the above site.

get your heads outta your asses. people are dying in New Orleans. Help them.

I'm trying to get everyone to use the PAX05 tag on flickr. There are around 450 pictures so far.

I've personally uploaded around 150 of the 1700 I took, and threw together a quick page hosting a few panoramas (wait a few days to download the large versions where possible, I don't know if they really meant unlimited bandwidth. :).

I have a batch of PAX pics available. I focused more on my clanmates who were there, but some of them should give a good feel for how things were.

The fact that it has failed can easily be demonstrated by the fact that there is no major work released under the CC

Flickr, 4,202,909 creative commons photos as of now.

Cutting-edge food preparation and flavor combinations previously unheard of are being served across the world, but especially in places like Chicago, New York City, and parts of Spain.

I recently trekked out to Chicago to visit on such restaurants, Alinea.

Photos from my experience here.

The Tour at Alinea in Chicago lasts roughly four and a half hours and is made up of twenty-five courses paired with nearly as many wine tastings. The executive chef, Grant Achatz, opened his well-documented restaurant to excited reviews this past May.

Each course consists of either a bite or a few bites that almost always incorporates an experimental technique of preparation such as sous vide, industrial centrifuge, foams, anti-griddle, German vaporizers or flash-freeze dehydrators. Alinea presents each course on specialized serviceware custom made by designers like Crucial Detail.

The New York Times, Frank Bruni, writes about this new type of cooking, the Chicago Tribune rates Alinea and NPR's Jennifer Ludden radio documents Alinea with chef Achatz.

I think that you can consider yourself a hacker based on lots of things. You could throw together a quick software hack to help you get something done, or you could embark on a reality hacking campaign to play with the minds of thousands of people. You can beat out the man by hacking your CVS camcorder for fun, or you could attempt to make your own nigh-vision scope.

Hacking is what you make of it; it's as simple as that.

Click here to see old arcade center images. Seen on MAMEWorld.net.

The only real "term of service" worth reading is "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time." Everything else in that document is just preamble, really.

My guess is it comes down to how much they care.

You should probably try out Flickr then. They allow you to download the original size images.

I used to be more into video, and may get back into it when HD cameras are a little cheaper and when distribution over the internet is easier- but currently I find taking still pictures much more rewarding.

The first thing wrong with video is that it has a default and sometimes fixed playback speed. Some players have fast forward and so forth but it is usually clunky to use, and some compression formats make scanning the video difficult. The result is most videos are very boring. With a bunch of pictures, it's very easy to move forward and backward at whatever speed I want, since most viewers understand that's what the user wants to do (although some shitty sites out there force a slideshow playback).

It's much lower quality than a picture from a similarly priced device. I'd rather look at a high res series of photographs capturing a few frames of something in motion rather than a smooth but thumbnail-sized video of equivalent size.

It presumes too much of what the viewer wants to see. A large photograph allows my eyes to scan to parts of interest at my leisure, a video typically reflects exactly what the person recording was interested in, flicking from thing to thing or over concentrated on something uninteresting to me personally.

It requires much more skill to capture well. You have to hold the camera steady through out the entire video, not just for a fraction of a second to take a still picture. A poor photographer who shoots a lot of pictures will probably end up with a few that could pass off as nearly professional, but a crappily taken video stays crappy no matter what.

Unless you set up a camera on a tripod, video taping something really removes you from the event because it requires constant attention on the tiny lcd screen rather than experiencing everything normally. To everyone else you don't even have a face, you're just a video camera. Taking a picture is a discrete event, inbetween you put the camera in your pocket or bag and are just experiencing everything normally again.

It is more annoying to have your video taken than have your picture taken. There's something more respectable about someone taking pictures than taking video. Video will capture little annoying things about you that you dislike, the way you said something or some mannerism, but a picture is just a tiny slice.

It's difficult and very time consuming to edit. And of course any editing is presumptuous of what the viewer would like to get out of the video. Editing with pictures is natural- just don't upload the pictures that turned out bad (and like I mentioned before, it's easy to skip over uninteresting pictures quickly).

The file sizes are huge, unless quality and length is compromised. This makes video hard to share and distribute, over the internet or even in person. Everyone you know will probably hate you if you force them to sit through 30 minutes of vacation video, but if you let them flip through a book of pictures they're going to like it much more. Someone on the internet may invest very little time to look at some of my pictures, but it's doubtful anyone is going to download a video for ten minutes without a good reason (like the promise of female nudity, say, or the recommendation of a trustworthy blog).

Perhaps many of these problems will be addressed eventually, sites like youtube may lead to some solutions (the flash playback seems awful- how do I save the video and send it to someone, burn it on a dvd, edit it into my own remix of various found videos?).

I should probably buy one since I won a $100 from the Bull riding contest...

Although I ended up spending it all at Chevy's on drinks and then returned to the convention to pick up on the twins

and then Wonder Woman...

I love LinuxWorld...

Long overdue, I know: a photo of the mystery disc. As I said, it looks very much like the inner portion of an ordinary floppy disk. But we're told it's about 20 years old.

Check out the FOSCON slideshow .

Why the lucky stiff's performance which included his own animations, shadow puppets, and an inside look at a meeting of the Ruby cabal The Least Surprised was hilarious.

Ugh, butchered post.

I know the chip is physically there, but I don't think it's being used for anything important. My proof? Well, for starters, someone (Blex86r from the OSX86 project) got OS X for x86 running in VMWare. If there was DRM, I think he might have had a bit of a harder time getting it to work.

LOL indeed.

The moderation system is broken, which allows me to post links to horrific goatse images like this, without getting modded down...

I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon. I'm using Firefox 1.0.6 under Windows XP Home SP2. When I click on a link, a window pops up with a totally transparent background. See http://photos21.flickr.com/30875170_a9c36ddac3_o.j pg for the end result. Also, I played around with the '+' and '-' buttons, and now seem to have four copies of the Boing Boing feed and two copies of the BBC's. Engadget and Reuters are OK.

Since we're on the topic of "start" pages, I thought I would mention my own project, fyuze.com, which was mentioned here on slashdot some time ago. It started out as an RSS aggregator, but in it's latest incarnation is an API aggregator. What does that mean? Well, it means that in addition to pulling RSS/Atom feeds it will also run queries against web-services such as Flickr, Amazon, Technorati, Upcoming.org, and Yahoo (with more to come). It also allows you to post good links directly to your del.icio.us account (hit the settings page).

It doesn't yet sport the nifty Ajax effects of Google and Microsoft, but with prototype and Rico, it is only a matter of time. Anyway, we're trying to push the idea of an aggregator beyond just RSS headlines and weather. So, if you're interested, we'd appreciate it if you gave it try and told us what you thought.

I'm currently at What the Hack, and just a few minutes, somebody screamed, "We're on Slashdot!" Overall cheering ensured. It's really, really great here. Get some pictures at Flickr or read about it at What the Planet. And please, don't /. our wiki. Pretty pretty please.
