Sharp Unveils Glass Computer
thug writes "Moscow Times: Sharp Corp., Japan's largest maker of liquid crystal displays, unveiled a screen Tuesday with microprocessor circuitry applied directly onto the glass, enabling it to function like a computer. Shumpei Yamazaki, president of unlisted Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Ltd., Sharp's partner in the project, compared the challenge of putting processor circuitry on glass to "building a skyscraper on rubber." But he said glass offered several advantages over silicon, including lower temperatures for production, so that faster metal gates could be used for its transistors."
woohoo!
Do you guys READ your own site? {slashdot.org, from YESTERDAY]

Hey, look on the bright side guys, at least CmdrTaco didn't post the same article twice, I think we've seen that before ;)
Yet another editor who doesn't read Slashdot's own stories....
Now that Beowulf Clusters are commonplace, heck even my mom is running a sweet 1000-noder, isn't this too little and too late?
You can build a Beowolf Cluster which smokes anything Sharp can lay on glass for chump change. Heck, people pay you to take XT's away!

Comming soon to a Slashdot near you!!
Remember, Amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic
What are those windows that at a push of a button
a map suddently appears on the window of the office, but people outside of the office can still see through the window? (weird)
By everyone except chrisd. I sometimes wonder how much time the editors of Slashdot actually spend reading it.
it was boring news yesterday...
Why are there still any of these people working for /.? The dot-com boom is over, its easy to fire people these days. Its even easier to find competant replacements.
And yet, time after time the same stories get posted over and over again. Look at your page hits, guys... there's probably 100,000 people who knew this story was posted (yesterday?!). Shitcan all those bumbling idiots who work there, and hire one or two of those hundred thousand people who are unemployed. Quality of this site would go way up, and you'll be helping to prevent any more repeat stories about the meltdown of Generation X.
Don't you guys get it???
If you look on your own front page you'll see it's still listed in the "Older Stuff" panel!
Hire some editors with a clue...
And use it to read Slashdot before posting duplicate stories.
Rather than adopting the suggested regime change in Iraq through military force, the United Natioins must instead consider an entirely different course of action. This new course is based upon the facts alone, rather than political pressure. A regime change is indeed necessary, but not in Iraq. The primary regime which needs to be changed, is the one found in Washington DC. The greatest tyrant and true threat to world peace who needs to be ousted, is George W. Bush. The facts which clearly show the need for such a resolution against the U.S. are self evident...they demonstrate a clear and present danger to the world community. America is clearly a nation which aspires to global domination, through the use of the most expensive and high tech military the world has ever known.
In demonstration of the above assertions, let us be very clear about Americas 300+ billion dollar a year expense, for weapons of mass destruction. These include;
The United States possesses, and has openly discussed using, such weapons of mass destruction upon a great number of other nations. Among these nations are those listed in George Bushs' so-called axis of evil list, as well as many others which it says, harbor terrorists. The so-called War on Terror targets Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Columbia, Nicaragua and many others. Upon these nations the U.S. has repeatedly issued a series of very aggressive and threatening statements to the effect of; You are either with us or against us, implying dire consequences of economic, diplomatic and military measures in the case of non-compliance. It has openly discussed the possibility of a first strike use of conventional nuclear warheads, and tactical nukes on the battlefield. Its' military policy of, win no matter what the cost of truth or human lives, as a surrogate for sane foreign relations, has earned the wrath of the world. U.S. belligerency has been a major contributor to international hostilities, instability, war and the creation of reactionary terrorist groups, as well as the oppression of peoples worldwide. Its irrational posture threatens to catapult the world into another, and probably final, world war.
The United States has repeatedly shown its willingness to target civilian populations with weapons of mass destruction, especially via the carpet-bombing of cities and infrastructures. It is the only nation to have ever used nuclear devices in war, and upon civilian targets. Among the structures bombed have been desalinization plants, water treatment facilities, police stations, electrical substations and generators, radar and communications stations, hospitals, highway, railway and other transportation facilities, factories for the manufacture of metal, plastic and wood products, and numerous other civilian centers. Countless examples of this behavior have been witnessed in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The result has been millions of Iraqi and Afghan children dying of unnecessary diseases and malnutrition, due to a severe lack of food and safe drinking water. U.S. allies such as Israel, (whose military it literally makes possible) have also exhibited such behavior, as has Great Britain, through constant urging toward mindless, mutually accomplished war frenzies.
A primary export of the United States is weaponry of mass destruction, including so-called conventional weapons such as guided missile cruisers, bombers, small arms, mortars, rockets, tactical advisors, self guided missiles, attack helicopters, high tech surveilance and imaging systems, tanks, explosives and various other tools desigen primarily for the sake of destroying human life. Added to this list of exports are multi-lingual propaganda, biological agents, tear and nerve gas, atomic weapons and their constituents, as well as technical advice regarding their construction, maintenance and use. The U.S. has frequently urged countries to use these weapons against each other so long as it benefitted its political interests, while simultaneously criticizing those who use them without American sanction.
Permanent State of WarThe U.S. has repeatedly told its own citizenry to expect involvement in what amounts to a Permanent State of War, due to the War on Terror. A large and increasing number of foreign nationals are being held in American prisons unlawfully, often without charges, legal due process or access to legal counsel. These persons are often subjected to psychological and physical torture due to their nationality or religious beliefs. Its' Afghan prisoners of war in Cuba are treated without dignity, in violation of the Geneva Convention. At the same time, the U.S. has insisted that its military personnel must be held exempt from war crimes charges by the international community, regardless of their actions.
The United States repeatedly defies the resolutions and authority of the United Nations, making is clear that it views this body as merely a tool which can be occasionally used to achieve its special interests, rather than those of humanity in general. America has also made it quite clear that if its desires are not met by the international community/United Nations, that it will act on its own regardless of their wishes, and in whatever manner it sees fit. This includes pre-emptive military invasion of any country which dares to oppose its policies, and for whatever flimsy, baseless justification it gives to the world as an excuse for such actions.
The international community must seriously ask itself, Who's next? in this series of American invasions of sovereign lands. Who will die next...by the thousands, tens of thousands or millions... at the bloody hands of American imperialism?
For these reasons and others, it is hereby proposed that:
The functional means necessary to achieve this goal are hereby suggested. They include;
In effect, the United States must feel the full pressure of international sovereignty, as it expresses its supreme dissatisfaction with the US imperialism around the globe.
The United States must also understand that its anti-humanitarian, corporate-minded, industrial-military schemes for global dominance are nothing short of those employed by Hitler, and other fascist dictators and governments, throughout the course of history. [Constantly declaring war and occupying one country after the next demonstrates this.] The international community, and indeed the peoples of the entire world, find this American attitude and behavior unacceptable. They will no longer be coerced or made to feel insecure in their own places of residence and worship, at the behest of American whims.

By reading this comment, you immediately waive any and all rights regarding it.
Yeah ! The one who never reposted should throw the first stone !
I wonder what a redundant reply to a redundant post would be. Informative?
Stop Continental Drift! Reunite Gondwanaland!
Really makes you wonder if the editors read slashdot... hehe
I can understand double posting something with a few weeks or a few months span apart. There is the off chance someone could forget about a story, but even a double story with a few days apart is hard to explain away with drugs.

How come you got modded up for this, when I was probably all of a minute slow and my link to my comment wasn't? Once again, friends, the system is screwed up.
is it half empty, or half full?

Repeated posts are due to:
1) What repeated posts?!
2) Taco, Chris, et. al can do no wrong.
3) Evil scheme by Cowboy "The details of my life are inconsequential" Neal to prove that readers will always come back for more no matter what.
It's the Award for Redundancy Award!
It was not a sports writer who said "It's deja vous all over again!"
In fact that is not even the quote. It was Yogi Berra who was a player not a commentator. The exact quote is "It's like deja vu all over again." . You were close as the "like" does not add a lot to the quote but still misinformation is misinformation and spreading it should be punishable by public ass-wooping.
I had this wonderful idea for a bit of code that we can add to slashcode. It is a tool for finding previous posts to verify if a cool new post truly is new.. We could call it the CowboyNeal anti-post-duplication algorithm. Then I realized something, they already have a search bar that can do that....
