What good is free Internet if you don't have a computer? I heard somewhere that it would take an average Cuban about 5 months' worth of salary to afford a $100 OLPC
How many PII 350-800 or better pc's are sitting in Amurincan basements collecting dust? Sure, these won't get you 60fps playing CRYSIS, but could probably handle most things on teh internets.... (add a PCI USB2 card and this could also be used enhance sneakernets) The Marines could change their annual drive from "Toys for Tots" to "Packard Bells against Fidel"(or something) for one year and give 'em away at the Guantanamo gate.
The term "football" probably comes from the fact that the sport is played "on foot" as opposed to on horseback. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football/ So yeah, it IS about football.
After being featured on popular technology website Slashdot.org, Gamersize.com's web traffic increased significantly. With the thousands of extra "hits" owners of the company say they can attribute "ones" of extra orders for their under the desk exercise device directly to the Slashdot crowd.
As people move up the academic chain, they focus on their chosen area of study and learn more and more about less and less. (eventually knowing everything about nothing?) To do so, they start out with a broad base, learning at least something about everything, then deciding what interest them. How is someone supposed to decide on a major when they haven't any idea what's out there? Isn't that what high school is for? And even if someone already knows what they want, wouldn't we rather have individuals who are able to converse about things other than just their job?
I don't like it; education should be more like a pyramid than an obelisk.
So does this mean that they will be able to grow new organs from these cells but those will already have cancer and will only be somewhat useful?
I know, RTFA.
This water walking robot will probably be very nice and not shun the prostitute robots or robots that lost parts to "robot leprosy". He might even be able to change 5W-30 into hydraulic fluid.
But it's followers will be Skynet.

it's "SL" in 1337 speak. ("2" is an approximate mirror image of "S")
