This is not CNN. News isn't supposed to appear only minutes after breaking. Who cares if it takes some time (only a few hours in this case!) for news to propagate across websites.
Besides reqular light, I want my screen to radiate X-rays, Gamma-rays and infrared light, and also ordinary radio waves and even more kinds of waves. I want it to emit quarks, neutrons and positrons, and perhaps god particles. The constrast of todays screens is appalling, I want miniature black holes creating perfect black tones. I wouldn't know how to create perfect white tones though.
Life ON gas giants seems like a big NO with what we currently know about the conditions required for life to emerge. But life around gas giants, on their moons seems plausible.
What I'd like to know (read: what I'd like some slashdotter with the required know-how explain to me) is why are these moons hot on the inside, possibly hot enough for water ice to turn into liquid water. It's so incredibly far away from the sun. Is this caused by their size and subsequent internal dynamics?
Also, aren't these moons constantly bombarded with radiation from their host planet's powerful magnetic field? Must be rough for aliens.
So I should quit my job because they use MS Windows as their platform? That's a dangerous question, some free software fundamentalists might say "yes" to that.
PS I use linux and I prefer free software over proprietary software.
I would most certainly buy an EEE if it hadn't had those amazingly ugly speakers on both sides of the screen. If it weren't for those, the screen could be an inch bigger.
Just release the damn thing without speakers (or integrate them somewhere on the keyboard) and with a audio out jack. And the other two (olpc and classmate) are toys IMO. Sure they're decent for educational purposes but not for bussinesses, unlike the EEE (if equiped with a decent operating system)
My sister put her iPod nano (the old one) through the washing cycle and I was VERY suprised to hear that it still worked. The screen is a bit blurry, but it works.

What smell is that? :p

Yes, I am serious!
There was a show on discovery channel about this - building one's own aircraft from scratch - once which I found very interesting
They're tackling the problem from another point of view, great
They will say it was designed from the leftovers
I've set it to open the start menu.
get shot up, get repaired, get sent back in
:)
good for morale
How about online stores? Google is going to get some merchandise...
Why visualize it? It's boring, and doesn't it use precious CPU/GPU power?
That's artificial, superficial intelligence
I'm more into social sciences (yeah flame me for that too). I had no idea I had to have read this on wikipedia. Also, I'm an atheist.
;)
And I've got the moral highground in this "discussion".

This should be tagged antisocial, not social.

You have won the Turing award! Here, have an apple.
Have you ever tried shaking dust off of something on earth? I think static electricity keeps it on there or something.

??? What, this doesn't look like ascii art at all!
I bet I can survive a nuclear strike (sans hair, that is), if I'm not too close to ground zero :p

The communication lines between Alice and Bob were cut, Eve to blame?
Yeah thanks you made me go hyperwtf
Your post certainly is
