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!)."
See tlite.
YAY I'M GAY!
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.
I used to have 50 karma but now it says "Excellent". WTF is this crap?
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.
I just don't see why it is that every year Slashdot rejects my story submission when I do a write-up of the annual Sex Toys Manufacturers Association exposition, but then they go and run something like this.
It kinda starts to get frustrating, to be honest.
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.

One day Captain Kirk was maiming his cock with a horseshoe when suddenly Mr. Spock ran up to him and shoved his pointy ear up his butt. "What is this for!" the fag captain said. "FAGS FOR YOU AALL!L!!!" the ancient alien howled as suddenly he farted and Captain Kirk twirled around in a daze and his foreskin twisted and his kidney stones turned into wooden beads. He pulled out his pistol and shot lasers at his chastity belt and suddenly he hurdled his dick into Captain Kirk"s bellybutton and it tore his flesh while Spock fucked his stomach. Kirk hollered out loud and Mr. Spock threw his shoes to the floor and wrinkled his penis until Kirk bellowed out to make it stop. A maelstom of shit whizzed around the ship and suddenly a giant fag appeared out side and the U.S.S. Enterprise went up his butt. "Oh what the hell have you gotten us into NOW!" Captain Kirk said as he oozed a condom back on his dick and put his panties back on. "OOH!H!!!!!!" Mr. Spock started fucking him again and shoved his phazer up his butt. He dissolved his glands and exploded his turds and finally a queer klingon hurdled through the door and smashed Kirk with his butt hairs. A maniac sucked his dick and suddenly Mr. Spock fagged Kirk so hard that his intestines burst open and he died.
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!
HE IS A TROLL!!!
Why else would he be posting at (Score:0)?
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?!
Negroes go for that kind of crap.

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?
for one of the aggrieved parties, let me just say that BitTorrent is nothing short of the Denial of Service attack. I hope they are taken down. When is /. going to learn that you can't flood sites, steal music, or copy DVDs without repercussion?
Apparently Windows has updated my cock as a result of Daylight Savings Time!

Not the torrent, but the movies from the torrent.

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.

Congratulations on your purchase of a brand new nigger! If handled properly, your nigger will give years of valuable, if reluctant, service.
INSTALLING YOUR NIGGER.
You should install your nigger differently according to whether you have purchased the field or house model. Field niggers work best in a serial
configuration, i.e. chained together. Chain your nigger to another nigger immediately on unpacking it, and don't even think about taking that chain off,
ever. Many niggers start singing as soon as you put a chain on them. This habit can usually be thrashed out of them if nipped in the bud. House niggers work
best as standalone units, but should be hobbled or hamstrung to prevent attempts at escape. At this stage, your nigger can also be given a name. Most owners
use the same names over and over, since niggers become confused by too much data. Rufus, Rastus, Remus, Toby, Carslisle, Carlton, Hey-You!-Yes-you!, Yeller,
Blackstar, and Sambo are all effective names for your new buck nigger. If your nigger is a ho, it should be called Latrelle, L'Tanya, or Jemima. Some owners
call their nigger hoes Latrine for a joke. Pearl, Blossom, and Ivory are also righteous names for nigger hoes. These names go straight over your nigger's
head, by the way.
CONFIGURING YOUR NIGGER.
Owing to a design error, your nigger comes equipped with a tongue and vocal chords. Most niggers can master only a few basic human phrases with this
apparatus - "muh dick" being the most popular. However, others make barking, yelping, yapping noises and appear to be in some pain, so you should probably
call a vet and have him remove your nigger's tongue. Once de-tongued your nigger will be a lot happier - at least, you won't hear it complaining anywhere
near as much. Niggers have nothing interesting to say, anyway. Many owners also castrate their niggers for health reasons (yours, mine, and that of women,
not the nigger's). This is strongly recommended, and frankly, it's a mystery why this is not done on the boat
HOUSING YOUR NIGGER.
Your nigger can be accommodated in cages with stout iron bars. Make sure, however, that the bars are wide enough to push pieces of nigger food through. The
rule of thumb is, four niggers per square yard of cage. So a fifteen foot by thirty foot nigger cage can accommodate two hundred niggers. You can site a
nigger cage anywhere, even on soft ground. Don't worry about your nigger fashioning makeshift shovels out of odd pieces of wood and digging an escape tunnel
under the bars of the cage. Niggers never invented the shovel before and they're not about to now. In any case, your nigger is certainly too lazy to attempt
escape. As long as the free food holds out, your nigger is living better than it did in Africa, so it will stay put. Buck niggers and hoe niggers can be
safely accommodated in the same cage, as bucks never attempt sex with black hoes.
FEEDING YOUR NIGGER.
Your Nigger likes fried chicken, corn bread, and watermelon. You should therefore give it none of these things because its lazy ass almost certainly doesn't
deserve it. Instead, feed it on porridge with salt, and creek water. Your nigger will supplement its diet with whatever it finds in the fields, other
niggers, etc. Experienced nigger owners sometimes push watermelon slices through the bars of the nigger cage at the end of the day as a treat, but only if
all niggers have worked well and nothing has been stolen that day. Mike of the Old Ranch Plantation reports that this last one is a killer, since all niggers
steal something almost every single day of their lives. He reports he doesn't have to spend much on free watermelon for his niggers as a result. You should
never allow your nigger meal breaks while at work, since if it stops work for more than ten minutes it will need to be retrained. You would be surprised how
long it takes to teach a nigger to pick cotton. You really would. Coffee beans? Don't ask. You have no idea.
MAKIN
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.
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.
reminds US of another "war" that ended badly.
Thousands march in Washington against war
Hundreds protest in San Francisco
Saturday, October 25, 2003 Posted: 5:25 PM EDT (2125 GMT)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- To chants of "Impeach Bush," thousands of anti-war protesters rallied in the nation's capital Saturday and delivered a scathing critique of President Bush and his Iraq policy.
Demanding an end to the U.S.-led occupation and the quick return of American troops, the demonstrators gathered on a sunny fall day at the Washington Monument to listen to speeches and songs of peace.
One man's small cardboard sign gave his summing-up of the day: "This administration does not represent me," it said in black capital letters typewritten on white paper.
The Reverend Al Sharpton, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, exhorted the crowd not to be content with the gradual withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
"Don't give Bush $87 billion, don't give him 87 cents, give our troops a ride home," Sharpton said to loud cheers from the crowd.
Hundreds of anti-war protesters also took to sun-drenched streets in San Francisco.
"We feel it's very important to keep our voices heard because we want our troops home," said Bill Nelson, a Burbank, California, bookstore owner. "We want the money here for health care and jobs, not a military industrial complex."
The rallies on both coasts were organized by ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) and United for Peace and Justice.
The protest in Washington drew a diverse crowd--young, old, veterans, relatives with loved ones in the armed forces and American Muslims. An activist group of older women called the Raging Grannies, singing anti-Bush songs, brought whoops of agreement from the protesters.
Organizers estimated that 100,000 people turned out for the demonstration, but police at the scene put the number much lower, from 10,000 to 20,000. Police no longer issue official crowd estimates, so the size of the protest could not be verified.
Waving signs reading "Make Jobs Not War" and "Bush is a liar," the protesters marched from the White House, down toward the White House, on to the Justice Department and then back to the Washington Monument.
But the activists were not afforded the symbolic satisfaction of yelling protests to the White House gates, because the Secret Service put up barriers to keep them from marching directly in front of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Bush was spending the weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland.
Michael McPhearson, a veteran from the 1991 Persian Gulf War, denounced the president, saying he had misled the nation. "You have butchered the truth, George Bush."
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.
