About fucking time. Now only if they get some USB dongles out too that have drivers Linux compatible that don't use two to three different chipsets under the same product name. My WG111v2 works great on XP but is terribly hard to get a consistent connection on linux with no open-source drivers (Ubuntu works out of the box but will drop if too many packets come through at a time or something. Seems whenever I do anything data intensive it gets angry with me.)
I would have to agree, I go around with my first gen Zune that I've had since it's release and people still ask me, "Is that an iPod?" some following with "Oh, that's pretty cool." A good amount of people are definitely aware of only Apple making pocketable music players.
The focus shouldn't be on "wireless" power per say, but in general just absorbtion of energy which doesn't require a tether, AKA solar & etc. to an extent. RF may be possible but I'd be damn weary if there weren't some massive long term safety tests first.
Can we say privacy invasion? Seriously, as if having to use proxy's to use Google in order to avoid book-keepings of "sketchy" searches isn't enough, something that sifts through everything you have, while using an OS you already paid for, to profit more? I'm probably unpopular for saying this but I hope this hit's Vienna vs. Vista. I personally like Vista and once I get a computer that can handle it in a way that's smooth enough for me I want to be able to use it without this kind of crap. Plus by the time Vienna were to come out I figure that Ubuntu (or whatever the "next good Linux distro" might be) will be more robust than Vista on nearly all terms, Ex. Search capabilities, and even more user friendly features. Not that Ubuntu doesn't already have it, but there's just something about Vista that makes it like the forbidden fruit of sorts, with lack of a better term. Yet then again I think all of my hope will be in vain, considering that they'll probably try and slap it on XP too. This still could go either way though, it'll definitely suck in the short term, but I think in the long term it's a coin flip of either turning users off of Windows and on to Linux, and thus more development and consolidation with different distros; or it works, users continue not caring, and people like us slashdotters end up getting pissed off with it because we know what's really going on.
I don't know much at all about this stuff (I'm only a few months from being 16) but it all seems really interesting. Just a thought here, maybe the "dark energy/matter" causes what we know as "gravity"? I mean at this point who's really to say, especially me, most of it is really over my head, but then again, who knows?
Once you get to 4 stars in driving it's really great. The car goes ~215 "mph" and has an assault riffle gun on each side. The SUV has hydrolics that bounce you easily 10 "feet" and higher. Do that off a ramp and you go flying. The "big rig" has an infinite "nitrous" supply that you can tap into, if you run into another vehicle at a high enough speed they blow up a few seconds after; extremely fun to do on the highway that loops the town with no real harsh corners. =)
Slashdot Mirror
Possibly coinciding with that 32% approval rating of Bush a couple years back? (Not trying to call anyone out, just a stray thought)
At least I'm not the only one.
Only on Slashdot would something like this be modded insightful.
Just add some tequila and we're all set!

You're both wrong. W. was never Windows XP. He went from Windows ME to Windows Vista.
Wikiwars 2008. Let the trolls and slander begin.

Correction, everyone's waiting for Microsoft to drop the Ballmer.
Does this mean Compiz Fusion is able to be run on Windows now?

To be honest, the only carrier in the U.S. I've seen do this is Sprint, at least at present time.
Why do most people, regardless of alertness, like to sleep? That's just what most people prefer, breaks here and there whatever the setting may be.
That's the first thing I thought of when I read the headline.
Where's Ballmer? ...DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS!
I'll let someone else come up with a witty response as to the where.
Queuing even more goatse references in three... two... one...

In other news kids are now swiping adults ID cards in China. Entire city blocks have now been closed off with hundreds of riot control police and...
Does it run Doom?
Including paying $7.5k for another mans blood sweat and tears.
It's my dick in a box!
