Mindstorms' Next Generation

davey23sol writes: "MSNBC has a 2.0 review of Lego Mindstorms here. Looks like they have put in an easier programming system for users, touch and light sensors, and some other stuff. The transmitters for the infrared transmitters are now USB instead of serial, too. The new system will be $200, and if you have Mindstorms now the upgrade will just be $20. It should all be available this month. I can't wait to get one (never got around to getting my Mindstorms kit)." This review may not go into $200 worth of depth, so I look forward to more detailed reader reviews (and more pictures) when this is widely available :)

Upgrade. I use Mozilla 0.9.3 and it has absolutely no problems on that site.

In fact, I've never had problems like that with Mozilla.

It's you. Mozilla 0.9.3 renders the page just fine in Gnome and Windows.

Of course, if you just want to be hysterical about Microsoft conspiracies, yeah, the man is putting you down, yeah! Fight the power! Nader '04!

Check this out. Somebody made a music video out of Steve Ballmer's clips (the "Planet of the Apes" one and the "Developers, developers" one). Pretty neat. http://homepage.mac.com/jcarusone/iMovieTheater2.h tml

Re:I remember Legos

His name was Timothy McVeigh. The government has tried to paint him solely as "The Oklahoma City Bomber" to try to justify his murder; their reasoning being we're destroying a monster, not a person, but a bomber. Don't forget that he was the
