Slashdot Mirror
ISWC'03 Gadget Show Videos
An anonymous reader writes "A few days ago (Oct21-23) the 7th International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC'03) took place in White Plains (N.Y., U.S.A.). Aside from the cool evening reception/visit @ IBM TJ Watson Research Center Hawthorne, one of the most popular events was (as usual) the gadget show where we saw some interesting gadgets as well as a few funny demonstrations. Some short video clips (DivX 5.05) are available (please be gentle on my ADSL connection!)."
What the hell are you thinking? It'll be slashdotted before the first post.
just so you know.
I want 2D games back.
Problem connecting to tracker...
uh... you're new here aren't you?
Sounds like a problem waiting to happen.
Maybe somebody would like to mirror.

I have the .torrent-file if it's not working anymore. Just tell me where to upload it.
Read the fine link? It's a torrent! A mirror unto itself! It's one of the better ways to prevent Mr. Slashdot Effect from smashing the poor ADSL connection.
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
he means leave bittorrent running after the file is done downloadinng so his connection isn't left carrying the weight alone. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't download it.
You can't judge a book by the way it wears its hair.
unless he is running the tracker off of his DSL

Mirror of the .torrent file here.
Ut oh. Brown screen of death?
Good Idea, making the download a .torrent instead of the full file, but the slashdot effect still takes its toll on another poor, helpless server.

I think it's great this technology is advancing. People with Diatabetes, heart problems, etc. do not have it as tough, thanks to the ability to monitor their situation with smaller, more portable devices.
Just use an overclocked AMD in your parka. Canadians and Russians might buy it!
OH THE SHAME I fell off the wagon and use sigs again!
It's never too lat to try to increase your karma! :-)
Although it is on the homepage, not everyone will think to click on the link meant for the press.
Nonetheless, it has some nice clean big pictures so take a look. Nice stuff.

Come on guys, you call this slashdotting?!
(please be gentle on my ADSL connection!)
Saying that on Slashdot is like entering prison wearing a woman's dress and a long blonde wig and saying 'please be gentle on my asshole'.

Get him!
Wow... that just brings a whole new meaning to "wearable technology"..
HERE's a normal http mirror for those too lazy to get bittorrent.
Be nice.
Why read the article when I can just make up a snap judgement?
Here.
Not the torrent, but the movies from the torrent.

A decent Mac-only client
Azureus, a Java client.
You can also grab the standard distribution and run btdownloadheadless.py in Terminal.

I think the coolest wearable computer has to be the one in 117_1750.AVI. Its a computer belt with usb and bluetooth and some decent flash ram. Now if I can only get one with WiFi and a heads up display for running NetStumbler ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Kismet (almost forgot where I was). For those Site Surveys ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H War Chalkings.

If you could, I would appreciate the definition of "tlite". Once you provide me with it, I will be able to see it.
After watching those Great Clips of geekcon or whatever it was I have come to the realisation that I am far from true geekdom. It seems that 52 hour coding binges or countless hours tweaking hardware for 0.2% performance increases will never come close to the true geeks depicted in those clips. I am a shame to slashdot.
:)
PS: I've already loaned out over 300 Megs upstream on the torrent. 68.22.145.171, 68.38.165.1, 142.59.181.210, and 203.219.51.26, you owe me next time.

WTF?
I wonder if any of the videos feature the Orgasmatron.

YOU SUCCEED IT!
Perhaps in future a slashdot only tracker should be set up on the slashdot site itself. The problem with slashdot and bittorrent is that you can use bittorrent to avoid the /. effect but it still needs the tracker which CAN be slashdotted.
This does, in fact, beat 96% of all Star Trek fanfic out there.
That's like saying "by cancer standards, my cancer has really been quite fun".
Just a question here: Why don't browsers implement the Torrent protocol? I was thinking about this the other day and it surprises me no one has done it yet. When saving a file in Mozilla, the dialog box showing the download progress could double as a torrent client. When the download is finished, the dialog box will stay open and host the torrent until you close it(unless of course the leecher has the 'Close this window when finished' checkbox clicked).
The proliferation of BitTorrent would happen much quicker if it came with Netscape or Mozilla by default. Questions? Comments? Discussion?
You can't legislate goodness. Let each to his own destiny, by will of his freely made choices.
Some months ago on slashdot someone posted a link to a pdf file that contained many (really many!) useful math formulas.
:)
Can someone repost the link?
Pleeeeeease!
It looks like how people are downloading the videos is more fun to talk about than the videos themselves!
The thing in the box has no place in the language-game at all; not even as a something; for the box might even be empty.

Not too shabby methinks.
Maybe he has a real slow connection and doesn't want it getting overwhelmed. I often cap mine at around 5k as I'll run multiple torrents at once. If I'm running only on i'll up the cap but often I have another program running that needs the bandwidth more, plus I prefer my upstream not to get so bogged down that the my IM, Chat, and Browser become useless.
