How do you prove a radio station, internet or otherwise, played some song or another? You could record them, but with how many stations there are, isn't that a LOT of recording?
The floating platform in on purpose. If you attach it to the ground you end up with a nice spring that is going to build up all sort of strong oscillations.
I haven't been able to find much more than marketing buzz either, but my impression is that it is Microsoft's attempt to compete with flash. Found a a news article specifically stating this actually. So there you go. They're also trying to compete with PDF.
Thank you! When I read the summary I immediately hit search: "riven" to see if someone had made the reference. You did it much more gracefully than I could have.
Aren't all of these CMS's done in PHP, i.e. text files? Why would you not be able to extend any of the cms's as much as you want? You could even take them apart and rebuild them from scratch, all the code is there to be edited at will.
I'm very disappointed about this particular feature being missing. When I first heard about this being a "companion" to smart-phones with a 10.X" screen, my thought was "Woot! Data pads!!!" The whole iPhone hype has been annoying me because you can't put a screen big enough to view photos and video in something you are going to hold against your head for a lengthy period of time. The two operations are mutually exclusive. Here's my recommended setup: Stylishly small and easy to use cell phone. Pretty much what we already have. (which is good, because then no one has to re-invent that market) But make sure it has bluetooth and/or wifi.
To go along with this is a data pad like device, maybe a convertable form factor. Hardware: Multi-touch touchscreen(cause they're cool!), wxga resolution so you can get 780p movies as well as enough room for a desktop. Gravity sensor for auto rotation. Don't bother with speakers, small ones are never worth the trouble, a headphone/external speaker jack should be fine... idealy use bluetooth headphones or speakers... Memory card reader, preferably multiformat. USB port(s) w/ optional external power bus. Small webcam. Maybe use a camera on the phone (if so equipped) with a clip/stand? Software: Personally, I don't care if it's linux or widows or mac... as long as the darn thing works. Needs an office suite (NOT documents to go, bleck...) (that VGA port out on the folio is a good idea for presentations, or hooking it up to a projector for movies too), it would be nice to be able to play games to kill time; a flash player would do the trick (see below)... Media library software, such as itunes or some such... A standard web browser with flash and java, using the phone as an access point if no other wifi is available. And all of this for under $400.
And what is there that my Palm T|x doesn't have? Large screen, proper keyboard, decent media library organizer. (It has a player, and it plays mp3s and movies just fine, it just has a crummy UI.) Actual office software and a standard web browser. It cost $250... A keyboard is $40. Attaching them with a hinge shouldn't be too much, so that leaves plenty of budget for enlarging the screen and maybe the battery too just a little bit.
I want something to expand the functions of my phone. I cannot watch movies on a phone. I cannot edit word documents on my phone. I cannot view websites properly on my phone. I cannot browse file systems on my phone. I cannot transfer photos from my DSLR camera to my website with my phone. I cannot draw sketches with my phone. I cannot use my phone as a portable hard drive (although I think some can be used as microSD card readers when connected to the computer via USB...) Is this really too extraordinary to ask for?
Thankfully, there are sites like wififreespot.com which help you find the places that don't charge. I find it rather frustrating when I need internet access to find an internet access point.... I end up having to call a friend that is in front of his/her computer to look up for me where an access point is... although, that is kinda matrixy: "Operator, find me an exit!"
I suppose it doesn't make much difference to the score if I reply to my post I made anonymously now that I have signed up with an account? Sorry.... I'm a total noob...
Slashdot Mirror
Or unless John Hammond gets his hands on one...
How about he uses "*n?x"?
Sure there is, this is the web. Just use tags and define them in your DOM.
There are D&D tournements at gaming conventions all the time. Look into the RPGA.

That is what a hyphen is for. http://xkcd.com/c37.html

Shouldn't that be "how the justice system DOESN'T work"?
Dr. Stan Lee? I thought he did Marvel comics not DC? Sorry, it only works verbally, but I thought it was still funny enough to share...
