I've had a DynDNS account for more than 5 years now and they haven't charge me for their dynamic dns service yet. Where did you learn that, and how did you arrive to that conclusion?
A couple of years ago, I had the chance of going to a talk from the guys of E-ink. They showed the B&W and Color displays before the e-readers came out. I was amazed at the picture frame prototype they had, and always wonder what happened to it.
I'm curious about the reason they are holding back the release of color screens and waited for a punch from the competitors. I had it in my hands, so I know it existed way longer than the first Sony reader came to the market.
We have Christianity to thank for making sins out of things as commonplace as nudity and sex.
Yes, go figure why they decided to put a bald middle aged guy in the sample pictures, instead of any of the two ladies that showed up in the video.
I was thinking about writing this as AC, but I guess I have karma to burn.
I respectfully disagree, gizmodo is overwhelming, so it is Engadget. Slashdot has one feature I like the most, the commenting system with mod points.
However, if this "special treatment" to Apple products and some other mixed propaganda/advertisement continues, people will end up leaving. I hope not, because I've been having lots of fun here, reading comments. As a foreigner in the US, I believe this site has still some valuable roots, but the little changes oriented heavily towards advertisement makes me think that they have become a little biased to report.
Dear Slashdot, I know that you're very US centric. But please give some credit to the community that supports and enjoys reading this website, and don't forget about us.
Something that doesn't cease to amaze me is the DMV. Here in Delaware, the DMV doesn't give the practical driving exam if there is the slight chance of rain. No wonder why people don't drive well on snow, if they don't get to take their exams during inclement weather. And there, you see people driving at 75mph during a storm.
IMHO, people should be tested to see if they really know how to drive in hazardous conditions.
What's the battery consumption? I'm interested in AMDs, but the battery life is very important. How would you rate the Athlon vs. the Intel of the Aspire (N270 I imagine?) ?
Have you watched the video?
The screaming teens wouldn't let me go too far in the video. For the safety of the eardrums of whomever Justin Bieber is, I think canceling the event was appropriate, glasses may have shattered.
I thought it was 5400. However, I'd recommend to change that port to another one. I know the/.er was looking for an easy way. But default ports normally get scanned and it's useful to change them, not only to add a little bit of security but to avoid your screen flickering when someone is scanning your VNC port (unless they got this fixed and people won't notice anymore, but it was somehow annoying to me).
"The Russian government has every right to make up your mind for you"
How come you're label as insightful? Perhaps the Russian government shouldn't have a right, but certainly not a game that wrongly stereotypes countries.
I am from Colombia, I have to constantly deal with being stereotyped as a drug dealer, and although I learn to take it as a joke, that doesn't make right. I won't miss the chance of correcting people making these kind of mistakes. I'm sorry but I don't like when they depict my country's capital as a tropical forest where everyone wears mustaches (which it's not true), and people believe that's the way it is.
If a country doesn't take care of the image of its citizens, who would do it?
Also that implies that all the voice communications pass through some sort of entity. Couldn't just happen that you use your own asterisk server at home, and use some private extensions for calls you don't want to be listened?
Enough proxies and encryption makes me think that system may be useless or just oriented to plain people and not the ones the government should really be worried about.
I agree with you, most of the times they address the wrong problems because they want to avoid being blamed. Doing research on TCP congestion control mechanisms, realized that ISPs pushed all the problems towards the borders over dimensioning networks. Now core network traffic remains low, while home routers can't handle traffic and drop the packets due to ridiculous access speeds.
Besides, I want to be able to take advantage of the Internet without requiring 2+ cores and battery draining GHz of speed.
I believe you're just reducing the "Duh effect" diameter. I bet someone working on your area or barely interested on that would be thinking that those devices are obvious.
Not too long ago, I was thinking that you could regenerate electricity from a car braking, by transmitting that torque/energy to a small turbine close to the wheels. I said then "it's so obvious, why wasn't that invented already!". Now some similar concept comes in some BMWs and I bet will start to show up everywhere else soon. Now I'm thinking that all the wind displaced by the car can be used to power little wind mills inside the car (perhaps using a front spoiler to catch more air and redirect it to some tubes). It's so obvious, yet hasn't been done yet.
The argument to reduce his sentence makes no sense whatsoever.
1. If he has genes of violence and killed a person, he was predisposed.
2. If he had no genes of violence and killed a person, then he has genes of violence. GOTO 1.
Although the OCR is being charged for, so I never got to use it, searching over your notes is impressively accurate and good. I had it for some time and I think is a good option. I don't like the fact that the number of notebooks you can have is limited and you have to "archive" your notes before you start using more. I believe that if what you want is presentation, LaTeX will do it. There are some equation editors that immediately render some LaTeX commands, such as the new word equation editor.
On a personal note, I used to enjoy WordPerfect 5.1 way of adding equations. I don't know how's Corel keeping on that one.
I know what I'm about to say may not happen, but may make people consider moving to those mobile platforms: While you may be right about power comsumption, the fact that the couldd perform better and even add more core or better video cards using the same power comsumption of current devices makes me hopeful. I'd go for something faster or more powerfull than my current MSi Wind if it cosumes similar battery and I can run several programs at once or faster.
That's what happens when I don't use the preview button... let me try again:
As you go into a left turn, your hand wants to keep going the direction it was going, which is actually right from your frame of reference. Meaning you have to pull left harder.
It depends on what's more intuitive at the moment of building the system. I know that for example some robots at the University of Delaware have some controls for babies to drive them. When you push forward the cart breaks, when you pull towards you, the car accelerates. This compensates so when you are breaking, the momentum won't cause you to accelerate again.

The bike sounds like a good idea, and I believe several people could benefit from helping Google and doing exercise. On the other hand, I believe the large load of the trike is batteries for long autonomy. A Segway would help to drain those batteries.

This is before they took that off of their website

As long as Mark pays Experts-exchange.com and they agree to leave my Google results alone once and for all, I'll be happy.

Are they correlating this data with the fear of people of getting H1N1 in an airplane?

2. If he had no genes of violence and killed a person, then he has genes of violence. GOTO 1.
At first I thought in the same way you did. Then it came the paradox:
If someone is not predisposed to violence and murdered someone, then was it or not predisposed?
I think this shouldn't be causing his sentence to be any shorter or longer.
Isn't that always the case? Any invention is obvious as soon as someone else invented it.

So, is this some sort of Schrodinger's box? You write the data, but you just don't know if is there or not?
