Transmeta Astro Processor

simpl3x writes "Apparently, Transmeta's next generation processor was demonstrated to some folks the other day at Comdex. Tom's Hardware was at the demo and they had this to say: "The new Transmeta Astro was faster in every demo that we saw than the Pentium 4m 1.8GHz chip that was in the Sony GRX." Cnet had some information on the processor also . I just ordered a tablet to play with, though I ordered the Fujitsu which has a P3m (the Compaq has a bad screen according to the reviews). I certainly wish that something like this were available, and i do hope that the manufacturing goes smoothly. Mo options, mo better."

Sad day ... Stephen King dead at 55

[Anonymous Coward]

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

I was watching porn, on the laptop
and it was like "oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh"
And then, like, half of my penis was scorched
And I was like ... nhu?
I *burned* my penis
It was a really good penis
And then I had to put some ointment on it fast
and now it doesn't work so good
It's kind of ... a bummer

The Crusoe is cool, but since it is sorta a "inch" product, it never really got the penetration I had hoped to see

for much better penetration, you should check out the Pamela Lee wedding video.. man. almost makes you think you're in the lady herself. woohoo!
