I've heard the book is reason enough never to bother with a Crichton novel ever again. Dismissive to the point of being rude, totally one-sided -- basically just a huge poke in the eye for anyone that's ever cared about something other than themselves. That's what I've heard.
But the fear is that once this becomes viable to be implemented in every camera, the goverment might pass a law that every camera must contain this "feature".
Every new camera sold within a particular region. Much as new standards might make old equipment less desirable (Digital TV anyone? No?) I don't think there's a single example of a law that forced you to throw away your old product and buy a new.
I was going to put the human genome and Pi onto my iPod, but that would mean that I'd have to delete my collection of [insert reference to crap pop music here]...
Enterprise ruined the franchise and has prevented any show from continuing off where DS9 and Voyager left off. I can't conjure up a good Star Trek show while it continues either.
Well, that's not quite so fair when you're talking about digital cameras because Sony do have the Mavica line that takes floppy disks or CDs. If I were travelling extensively I'd seriously consider something that uses readily available media like this -- particulary given that once a CD-R is recorded, an x-ray machine is not going to be able to nuke the photos. Although 8cm CDs are not as available as I'd like.
Bah! Free time is overrated. I'm going to take a brief break and power through a pile of books, then I'm going to jump back on and work towards a mount for my druid.
That's as long as the increase in stability seen over the last 36 hours continues.
And I'd really like someone to write a rehuff for my DC260 since jpegoptim shaves roughly 10% on average off the size of its photos. That's almost 20 extra shots I can fit on the current card with the current settings.
The Kodak DC range absolutely rock. Not only are they open with the OS, allowing 3rd party extensions, but they use a standard card and standard batteries. This means that they hold their value a lot better than other cameras with expensive batteries, less available cards or no way to update them for newer techniques or standards.
Uh-huh. Now load the C64 emulator onto your standard 3660 or 6600 and try to play an action game. Then load the same game onto the N-Gage and you'll find out how much nicer the layout is.
Also, the N-Gage does actually use the standard 4 x 3 layout you're describing. Perhaps you're thinking of the 3650?
You haven't said one thing about the topic at hand. May I interpret that as a statement that you have nothing left to say, and you're admitting defeat?
You can, but you'd be wrong. I don't intend to defend science, because I don't think it needs defending. I'm attacking religion here and I don't see you defending it much yourself.
Dude, I won first place at the astronomy event in the National Science Olympiad in 2002, out of teams from state champion schools from almost every state. I know astrophysics. If there were anything in regular astrophysics that necessitated a universe before ours or a looping universe, I'd know about it. Nothing of what you mention requires any more than the Big Bang and an expanding universe.
Uh huh. Even ignoring the fact that you could easily be making this up, this is apparenly a high school (teams) event. Making you, what, 20 at the oldest? I think there are probably things in the world that you don't know about yet.
"your science"? Nah, why don't we have a debate based on your religion. Then I could just say whatever I want and claim god told me.
Where's the observation and experimentation that supports a phoenix universe or time that somehow bends back on itself?
Have you heard of the fields of astronomy, physics and astrophysics? Hubble, The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, particle accellerators, super colliders? Red-shift, dark matter, black holes, the strange gravitational effects affecting the Voyager spacecraft? For that matter, gravity, space or science in general?
I don't know how many people I speak for here, but religious twits that actually have the gall to say that science and religion are the same thing simply because they understand neither are really starting to get up me. Religion is crowd control using fiction. Science is a real attempt to understand the universe.
I really was going to be all handy with the neoprene cutting until I found out that my existing Marware case was perfect for stuffing my iPod in a newly gutted Sony Sports Walkman. Can I have a Slashdot story please? PLEASE?
Simple: It's been more than a month and they still haven't fixed the effing servers. I won't be showing up in any active subscriber list for WoW come Friday.
These theories make about as much scientific sense and reasonableness as assuming the presence of God.
I'm sorry, no. Scientific theories about the creation of the universe are base on observation and experimentation. Religious theories about the creation of the universe are just making shit up. It's like comparing apples and hydrogen.
And it looks like it wants to more or less shut down the host PC. It's be more interesting if it was accessible via a terminal services, VNC or X window itself.
Come to think of it, a couple of friends have a Sharp Zaurus and it's SSH-able when it's sitting in its cradle...
Slashdot Mirror
You've just confirmed all the bad stuff I've heard about the novel. Thank you.

WTF is a "Roth IRA"? Is it what the rest of the world would know as a superannuation account?

-1 Lazy: Anyone want to work out the volume of each?

Of course, I've already build my own Mini-ITX PC, so small isn't so much of a big deal anymore. Thus I stopped tracking prices a little while ago.

Maybe he thinks a demi-god created the universe.
What's the bet that the stickers are a right bastard to remove? I bet they're going to have to be stickered over.
Anyway, who created God then, smarty?
