Shouldn't I block USA? It's the same arguments, right? Didn't some dude say: "How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?" ... Blime...
Wouldn't just been easier to hack a digital dartboard? You know, the one in pubs? Of course that wouldn't give the feel of a classic metal dart/wool dartboard. J.
Makes people think you are rough outdoorishy type:)
And they look cool (Execpt that GPS type, looks like a piece of dung on your wrist). Mine is the first watch I am really happy with. Analog, with clever in-glass LCD.
Wtf? Why not get a Cessna or something then? That is a 'improved' version. I mean, if they are going to build a replica celebrating the flight of 1903, they should make it excatly (sp) the same. (IMHO, of course)
"I read this great story about an old fisherman, written by some Ernest dude, do you want to hear it?"
"Sure I do, but I don't have time now, could you type it up for me so I can read it later?"
"No problem, just get me a typewriter, or I could dictate it to a tape for you"
"That would be so cool, then I could listen to it when I go to Europe next week"
"Actually I have it here on my computer, I could burn it to a CDROM for you"
"Dang, my CD drive is kaput, could you give it to me later"
"Well, I could put it on my webpage for you, then you can read it anytime"
"Wow, that would be fantastic! Thanks, you are a real friend"
...
Now, tell me where does 'fair use' end and 'copyright infringing' start?
Well, I tried the Register demostration page, and I only got this:
"Sorry, there was an error in the script.
This may well be due to your IE security settings - try resetting them to default and trying again.
..."
IE6 is much better when it comes to security and privacy than IE5.
When did you last donate to Google? How many times have you used Google on your job, saving your self and your company money? Where is the friggin' "Do it for the love of coding" thinking now? I would be happy to enter (I just need the right idea;)) and if Google gets better because of my code, so be it!

The phonePDA convergence, on the other hand, just doesn't make sense. First, cellphones seem to be shrinking while PDAs seem to be growing. Second, I frequently need to use my PDA while on the phone, so I can't imagine how merging the two could possibly be a good thing. Ugh, have you tried using those small mobile phones and keeping your hands free for writing/typing/whatever. It's impossible, unless you want to end up with neck cramp or something. A PDA with hands-free phone, would be just what I need. I'm keeping a close eye on the Handspring Treos.
Do we really want our governments putting up big higway projects? I know that's not what I pay my taxes for.
You don't have to be a genius to see that there are more important things to do with taxpayer money.
What does this even get us really? Sure it's k3w1 and convenient and whatnot, but seriously.
If we let this sort of thing happen, why not Government off-ramps or mountain roads service?
It can learn from it's environment, we could teach it to look at interesting things, play with rocks on mars, etc. (Is it scary that I'm only 1/2 kidding?)

Isn't this over-specalized? Wouldn't it be much simpler just posting waypoints for current GPS instruments? Then I could just download it to my Garmin/Magellan/Whatever GPS receiver? What next? Another Gizmo for strip clubs?
Have you visited International Intellectual Property Alliance? This is scary shit. This is no international organisation, this is a organisation created by likes of RIAA, MPAA, IDSA, BSA and AAP, all very much concerned about 'piracy' and 'copyright infringement'. Just 2 examples from their milestone page:
In 1984, the U.S. copyright industries pressed the Congress to make ineffective IPR protection an "unfair trade practice" under Section 301 of the U.S. trade law. Congress made this and other similar changes which marked the first time IPR protection was made part of the U.S. trade agenda.
At the conclusion of the Uruguay Round, a new chapter on intellectual property rights, the TRIPS Agreement, was included for the first time ever in a global trade instrument.

No. Intel licences the ARM core from ARM Ltd. AFAIK, ARM is still an independent company.
Bleah, Storm are for fashion-whores... Storm are like the kids who try too hard to be hip/cool, and end up making an ass of themself. :)

Is there a company named MPEG? What am I thinking, critizising articles here on slashdot?! Oh well, "Greed is good".
hehe... finally an article that fits :)
And ist Bjólfur, not Beowulf... *ACK*
Ditto, it was the first thing that popped up in my mind, one step closer to Brave New World. But then I'm just a Beta Geek, so what do I matter? :
