I have also had the opportunity to meet Kamen. He struck me as incredibly down to earth for someone who has done so much and who is reaching for so much more. Perhaps the thing about him that impresses me the most is that his wealth has come from him constantly seeking to make things better for other people. In this internet age where people have been celebrated (including in Wired) for making money out of essentially vapor, it is nice to see tribute paid to someone who has truly achieved something concrete and lasting.
I know it sounds petty, but are they trying to force out Transmeta, seeing as how Crusoe is supposed to be focusing on low-power applications like laptops and internet appliances?
Don't even know the name of the actor and too lazy to search for it. Certainly would make the show more interesting. The only thing is he'd probably end up killing everybody.
Or maybe Skinner can get busted to field agent and hit the streets with Scully.
which is an annoying trend that is really starting to piss me off.
Do these web-weenies think they will impress the hell out of the management if the front page keeps getting hit by people futilely poundnig that "Back" button to get away from the crappy site?
Since we're chatting about portable sound, anyone know of any good in-car or in-dash.mp3 players? Not a portable you plug in, but something you actually install in the vehicle?
My dream one day is running a CAT-5 cable out the the car and downloading!
Honestly, if I had the money to drop on a car like this, I'd go out and buy a Viper and not even care about the internet connection because I'll be too busy driving along in orgasmic bliss.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Good thing I read all the way through the responses before I posted about this. I remember this vaguely from the 80's. My maniacal best friend told me about them, along with his copy protection breaking software.
At the venerable University of Toronto, where she used to irritate the hell out of me by asking ignorant and offtopic questions in my Shakespeare class and wrote/edited for the school paper, The Varsity, which was only a little less liberal than Pravda.
How the hell she got a publishing deal is beyond me. It hardly seems like an original topic, this one's been hashed around for years.
I will go back to gnashing my teeth now.....
It makes sense? (added bonus: Humor link)

It makes sense in the end? That's great, because it sure as heck didn't in the middle!!!!
Think about it - what would be happening that would be so urgent as to require your immediate response? And if there is something like that, then what the hell are you doing out sailing?
I'm just as much as a technofreak as the next person, but when I go out on the water or into the woods, it's to get relief from the email or the pager.
In other words, don't you have to produce something under the copywright in order for it to still own it? For example, you can't copyright the phrase "GM Electric Car" and sit and wait for GM to fork over a bunch of money to you?

He has a pretty cool house, too. :-)

Ah, the good old days: 1993. My Mac, my modem, the intermittent Trent University modem pool, and MicroMuse, TimeMuse, OceanaMuse, EcoMuse, etc......
I actually met my wife on Micro. It was like the wild west back then, very little adherence to the purported charter of the Muse, but damn it was fun!
Is he really a power-hungry megalomaniac or a misunderstood dreamer?

Am I the only one who thought Sabretooth was being played by James Hetfield of Metallica?
ROAR!

Hmmmmmm.....a stealth car, eh?
OK, if I ever have that much money, I'll take it under consideration. I may stand corrected.
But I don't want all the wiring in the back!

For a laugh, check out The Revolutionary Girl Utena Pants Page. Pure silliness.

How about Mindstorms? Good introduction to the relationship between programming and results.
According to The Gaelic Dictoionary of Computer Terms I took it to mean that I had root.
'Course my Irish is no better than yours, probably. It was a long time ago, and I needed the course.
It would be far better if it forced your browser to one of those whack-a-mole sites that keep popping up additional windows when you attempt to leave.
Ummmm.....not that I have any first-hand experience with them. I've just heard about them.

Legal minds, help?
My deepest apologies.
I'm not as smart as I think I am.
Maybe the pr0n viewers?
I would love to hear what Chuck D's response was to that. Anyone know where I can find out?

Perhaps it's an advanced defense against DMCA?
