I heard you can also mod a wireless controller to act as a drum kit, but you can't do anything with it more complicated than Ringo Starr's solo from "The End".
Also, this way you don't have to move your Guild Navigator out of his primary Melange tank in order to provide tech support. Maintaining portable Melange tanks is expensive and annoying.
I am a lover of science, but I'm still amazed that this kind of nit-picking is treated as though it's newsworthy. So the day (I assume that by 'day', they mean the rotation of the Earth on its axis) just got microseconds shorter. Will it affect global climate? Will it affect ecosystems? In short - will it affect anything in any way that would result in any of us actually giving a crap about it?
Just curious how I got modded to Troll status for pointing to an obvious fact. I believe in evolution, by the way. It's just that there's no hard evidence to back it up.
I was going to link to this post from another forum that's been discussing Wave. Then I read the comments. It took me five minutes to find one that wasn't juvenile. Is this what Slashdot has come to?
Don't be stupid. There's no such thing as a free country. Sooner or later, they all end up being run by bastards. If you're really looking to be free, I suggest you move as far away from civilization as you can. The only way to achieve actual freedom in this world is to separate yourself from the rest of humanity.
Your inability to bend your brain around a different system of measurement is irrelevant. This so-called 'problem' would disappear in a generation, if it even took that long.
Give it up. You're not going to make your netbook more 'manly' (not in the way you mean) no matter what you do. It's like walking a poodle - no matter what spin you put on it, it's still going to be a cute little furball. Since you need a laptop that portrays a more manly presence, I'd suggest you ditch the netbook and get a toughbook.

Does this mean that the Information Superhighway has NOT become the Information Western Front?

This strikes me as another solution looking for a problem. Those who would use this don't need it, and those who would need it won't use it.

Cool! I wish the US could get a constitution like that.
I don't actually have anything to say. I'm just claiming this space so I can later sell it to Google for ads.

Ummm, really, like this comment is like, you know, like, YOU KNOW? And scored as: Insightful. Think about that, people.
Not off topic at all. And for the record, I'm about as left as it gets.

You realize, of course, that there isn't any hard evidence that supports Darwin's theory of evolution.
Is there anyone out there who still believes Apple isn't evil?
And Begg-Smith gets the gold!
My life is immensely valuable. It's the value of everyone else's life that's in question.
Just guessing here, but I'm assuming that the guy who cooked up this advertising scheme also cooked up the data.

Umm...... I have to ask. If you can't tell just by looking at them, what difference does it make?
