Concept PC 2001

Rami Kassab writes: "Check out this sweet PC developed by HP. It runs on the Intel P4 and features a wireless keyboard, mouse, even a wireless 18" flat screen LCD monitor. The wireless mouse and keyboard run over RF. All of the components are connected to eachother via Bluetooth technology. Included with this PC is USB 2.0 and an ATI 7500 AGP card." The screen looks a little strange, but I always love seeing interesting new designs for these boxes since I spend so much time in front of one.

  1. and power? by spankfish · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    It won't be really wireless until the power supply is also wireless ;-)

    Maybe someone can beam the power into the machine with lasers or something, but I wouldn't want to have to reboot every time a cat runs under the desk!

      That's ridiculous. Total overkill, a Rube-Goldberg-like contraption that's completely unnecessary.

      Wheeled batteries will work just fine.

    The part you quote was in italics. The submitter, not the approver (CmdrTaco) made the error.

  4. Slashdotted already - Offtopic by CoffeeJedi · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    wow, 15 comments and its already slashdotted... now this comment isn't meant to be a troll, but... what is Slashdot doing right and other sites are doing wrong? I mean... in order for a site to be slashdotted, those browsers are being directed from slashdot, so AT LEAST that many people are browsing slashdot at any given time, yet the front page loads lightning quick, even over dial-up, and there's very little downtime, i think the rest of the web can learn something here (don't use IIS maybe)?
    anyway, not a troll, just genuinely curious

    Funny, I did the same thing because the page didn't even bother trying to render in my browser. So I saved the HTML and read the article in "vi". Or rather, I saved the HTML and spent 30 seconds trying to find the damn article.

    1) SaveAs article.html. Cut-and-paste only the HTML that includes the article text and image HREFs.

    2) SaveAs articleraw.html. Cut out the user comments, leaving the original HTML intact.

    3) $ wc article*.*
    44 381 2473 article.html
    482 1742 22916 articleraw.html

    Geez, a 10:1 ratio of Javashit and other dreck to actual content, and that's without loading graphics.

    The sick thing is that I know that's not a record for waste.
