Ever see Benjamin Button? Sure they created a digital version of Brad Pitt for the entire first half as he aged backwards, but it's not like he wasn't involved in that process at all. S1M0NE isn't exactly possible yet, they're still a human under those bits.
Sounds like packaging copyright material between thousands of papers and delivering it in PDF format to my university printing service to print out all my textbooks for free... except with less wasted paper.
Oh and besides the low-pressure tires, no cruise control, and the occasional gas meter issue, I love every minute with my Prius-1, which is still going strong on 120,000+ miles. But just for safety, I'm going to take the Civic Hybrid cross country this summer. Rather make my deadlines with cruise instead of losing a foot over 4 days and have maximum repair delays in Nebraska because they have to order a part from Japan.
I personally own a 2000 Prius (v1 I call it) and had the NiMH battery replaced twice. The first time due to defectiveness we noticed when parked on hills, and the second due to an unexplained factory recall (I don't remember the dates).
I think swapping batteries would be much better, as you can probably build recharging facilities that are much more efficient at recharging the batteries than you can fit into the size of a car. Maximum cartridge lifetime, etc...
The students don't get the right to choose what's done with the work once it's submitted. Maybe I want my work to be checked for plagiarism, but not used to check on in the future.
Thank you. I'm only responding because you're already +5.
I've ran into this issue in all of my ENGL / LCC /... classes at Georgia Tech, but unfortunately had to submit them to turnitin.com still. I completely agree with you. I used your argument and even took it so far (once) to argue that I don't care if people plagiarize my work. Don't I have that right over my own work? To say that people can use it in their future papers, even without citation?
It does to the criminals. If all their b/w gets filtered out for legitimate business, where would they turn to? Dialup? Not likely. SSL or Tunneling probably.
Okay maybe I used the term lightly. But as far as I'm concerned, anyone who is a MD and has enough time to be qualified in as many areas of interest that he has completely investigated and personally improved upon (I mean he does everything from x-rays to small electronics and can crushing...), I'd definitely call him a Renaissance man, at the least.
Plus it's just my opinion, don't hate just cause you don't agree.
Bad website design aside, this guy is what I would call a da Vinci of our time. Just check out all the HV things he does in his free time after being a MD all day.
I personally enjoy his gamingreferences, but there's something for everyone.
Just... wow. His curiosity and expanse/depth of testing is simply baffling....
No wonder he didn't have time to design a website, he's not interested in boring numbers and code; he enjoys placing himself in, what I would call, risky situations.
It's called comedy, hence no quotes. You're not insightful at all, stating a fact while not providing citations? My entire comment was with tongue-in-cheek humor. I'm a heavy Windows user, of XP, Vista, and 7. Stop making assumptions.
Because XP will stop being supported with the release of Windows 7. Then all the internal unfixed bug sheets of XP will be reported and published in China, Russia, and wherever Conficker came from. Then Microsoft will stop pushing all new copies of XP and accidentally invalidate all "genuine" XP keys.
Yes it would be too much to ask. As a reader of slashdot it is your duty to understand terms or google it . If you didn't, a submitter would have to define every word entered, making submissions 100x as large, more complicated , and annoying to read. So please, for the sake of all that is good and holy, justfuckinggoogleit. Thanks.
For whomever moderated me down, if you actually watch the video it's incredibly on topic to the parent's point. It's a very visible (on youtube) case of public respect and law vs. common sensible respect.
You mean I have to use their product the way they designed it? No! I want free internets from every software and service right now! And I want to complain when they're service doesn't work because I use it wrong!
I've always found the opposite about multitasking. OS X's microkernel has always slowed down my productiveness, compared to windows' macrokernel.
Maybe it's just the UI though, as it seems that OS X was developed for people that like to click and wait... But then again I haven't really dived into Windows code recently .
What do you mean you're with HP? They have a whole campaign devoted to desktop touch screens...
As for most of the other blatantly wrong comments, I think it's incredibly important to develop this. Everyone is only considering touch screens as the main outputs. But what about a dedicated input being a touch screen. Like the Optimus Maximums, but extremely cheaper and more diverse. This one application voids both this post and this post, the two highest rated comments in this thread. There are so many applications to multi-touch technology, and only R&D will get us there.
I'd beg to differ, I think we don't have enough, we've only touched the surface, and we don't share enough. That's two great things about computing: 1. Everything is information. 2. The internet is designed for copying.
I mean, think about it. Ever since a repeater was invented, we've been copying information.

The article isn't half bad either. Great story!

Now the military contracts all of their hardware (satellites) to private contractors.

If you're good enough, you'll remove the other applicants as well, and be the last man standing.
I personally enjoy International Capture The Flag
Would this be part of the movement to return to natural selection? If so I know a bunch of classmates I'd like to have test that feature first...

It's exactly what NASA wanted with this contest. Publicity. They couldn't have done better...

I'd say that's a pretty good reason to "upgrade".
it can't be disabled unless you uninstall all the applications that use it and there are some privacy issues.

We are drowning in information.

1. Everything is information.
2. The internet is designed for copying.
I mean, think about it. Ever since a repeater was invented, we've been copying information.
On a related topic, I enjoyed Tim Berners' talk on what he's calling "Linked Data", even if I don't agree with his method.
...think of the scalability tests VMWare will finally be able to do. I'll wait until their reports before finding a Y2k bug in VMware.
