i would much rather have a large mp3 player like the 4.8 gig ones they were promising a while back than listen to my watch with headphones. there wouldn't be a point in wearing this since the damn cord would wrap around your arm all the time.
instead of wasting time on portables that you have to change every 30 minutes, try making one that is reasonabally priced, and functional.
I've yet to meet a girl geek. I would be glad if I did, since many conventional women find my habits a little, uhh.. geeky?
from my experience, some women can't stand a guy who spends hours on computers/console games/reading/movie watching every day. I have on idea why, and I think it would be cool to meet someone that could accept it.
so a tip to all girls, don't be afraid to talk to guys about tech stuff.. you might just find your match..
i thought that most geeks [other than rob and a few others] usually aren't looking for great looks, but performance. i'm sure many of us are running open case with a fan screwed on with a bracket to keep the processer cool during overclocking. i really don't care what my box looks like as long as it can do what i want it to do.
many of these boxes lack expansion capabilities that are generally standard on many other boxes. so what's the point?
I'm cuurently in the process of patenting the letter 'e'
this way i can have exclusive rights to use it, and also i can charge people to use it. you can no longer say 'I'm a good worker', you must use the phrase 'I'm a good work-guy'.
The Gambeboy Advance could be deemed as yet another non-stateside hardware release. The chances that this portable will make it to the states is slim to nil. The reason of this is basically because there is something like 30 million gameboys [? correct me if I'm wrong] and converting this many people over would take years and years. Most console upgrades only concern a few million users, and that is done fairly easily. Upgrading to gameboy advance could be viewed as changing from cd to dvd-audio. It would take years, and people would fight it. I'm not opposed to a great piece of new hardware, this would be really great if it got released stateside, but the 64dd was also a good idea, and look what happened. The development tools for linux are pretty cool, but coding for smaller hardware is usually done in assembly due to the ram limitations. Anyone owning a ti-calc will testify that asm is quicker than ti-basic. Basically all that is going to happen here is either: a. delays [n64 anyone?] b. no stateside release [64dd] c. massive success [gameboy]
I'm rooting for #3, but i'm not getting my hopes up.
some patents are not a Bad Thing. patenting obvious things like one click shopping is a Bad Thing. Patenting the 'feel' of a program [a lawsuit about this was fought between lotus and corel years ago about lotus notes and corels similar product] is also bad. Some things are not, such as hardware patents, and true innovation. Patents should be reviewed by people that know technology [no, not the creator of the internet 'Al Gore'] but people that work in patent law and also have cs background.. that's what i think anyway.

if it isn't toxic, and it is flavorless, i will proceed to make glow_in_the_dark dr pepper.
i wonder what this stuff would do to excrement wastes?
i may find out someday..

slashdotted already.
I assume Al Gore is claiming in addition to singlehandedly creating the internet, he now is claiming to have written UNIX back in his berkeley days.
hmm.
