I agree this would be helpful. Another study (don't have the reference, sorry) dealt with the absence of sound. Kittens could be conditioned to expect food when sounds (in this case a clicking noise) stopped.
(Of course that doesn't mean it's going to be aesthetically pleasing to humans. NASA also researched the high-visibility color scheme for VDTs that was later adopted by Amiga -- black, white, dull blue, garish orange. Ugh!)
Everyone, up to and including the UN Development Programme, is telling them that the quickest way to catch up with developed nations is to get wired into the Net. (See link.So they have more useful applications in mind than swapping MP3s.
I'd love to see those buffalo-based mobile PCs though. (^_^)
Speak in code and write in code, codes that are indistinguishible from noise. In other words,/. is a perfect place to hide coded messages!... Whoops, blew your cover.
That's a great idea... configure your webcast with a 10-year delay!:-) That means you can start selling ads now for products that won't even exist by 2010... or something...
The IOC is hosting a conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, to debate the future of sport and new media such as the internet and mobile telephone networks.
What's that about mobile phones? They're going to police all phone discussions about the Olympics unless the caller can prove that the callee is in the same country??
... that 3dfx uses stories like this for spin control in the stock market?

FSF Europe Founded
·
· Score: 5
I have been hearing more about Europe in the last 2 years than ever before.
Actually... Europe has been around for millenniums (I know because it's been reported on Slashdot several times already). This link
shows the existence of prior art.
Like you're really going to get customers by insulting them. I have never seen anything so IDIOTIC in my entire life... and I've known a lot of idiots in my time.
At my old company, secretaries actually referred to MS Office as "Microsoft." Yes, folks, there are really people who haven't got a clue what an OS is, or if they even have one!!
You can paint weird things [and] make odd sounds but calling it art doesn't make it so.
Let's remember that most of what we take for granted in modern media (animated banner ads, sampling keyboards, anime (at least in the US), video games) would have baffled and irritated people half a century ago.
Media changes. We adopt shorthand. It adapts to us and we adapt to it. There's absolutely no reason to assume that we've reached the ultimate in user-interface design.
I don't know about issues of increasing scale, but possibly a wall TV would be more expensive than the heavier flatscreen technology.
The main reason seems to be lifetime of the LEP elements. They said an average cellphone was used less than 200 hours per year -- the average television gets that much usage in a month or so (at least in the US).
CDT's red LEP will work for 100 000 hours, green for 30 000 hours and blue for 1000 hours. Not very long before your color balance falls apart on you.
My favorite reason: the editors of the magazine probably don't watch a lot of TV.:-p
Coupled with "netcasting" and GPS, a cellular or narrowband radio could be used to even SHOW YOU where you are on a map, accurately, and quite visibly. Traffic delays and accidents could come up in realtime as coloured areas to avoid if possible.
Cool! You could even see a MAP VIEW of yourself HAVING AN ACCIDENT in real time!!;)
I plan to invest in UI research that keeps people's eyes on the road as much as possible while still giving them the information they need...
Slashdot Mirror
At age 12 Kent built a commercial-quality, space-invaders-type computer game.
See /. story from 1999.
Baby Wolverine, Baby Storm ... they'd be soooo cute :)
thats how ALL cases are won or lost; it's still determined by the judgement of our 'peers.'
So if a peer is making a negative judgment about you, just disconnect them. Problem solved ...

Site swamped by Linux surfer nerds? Switch to Cogent, and kiss your /. troubles goodbye!
Quantum money? Is that like, the more accurately you know how fast you're spending it, the less accurately you can know how much you have left?
By 2010, even the networks will realize that Costas is not funny.

More proof that the world outside of Slashdot is made up of old-media bozos.

Right here officer, it's the post right above this one. He's the world's most uninventive troll.
... aw forget it. I'll arrest him myself.
No sir, you have to click on the "parent" link
Well, whatever. All he's doing is wasting somebody's mod points to snuff him out. I'm going to call the cops, and see what happens.

If we can get one with increased intelligence, size, and longevity, it'll probably demand a retirement plan.
What, is somebody inhaling all the references for offline browsing or something??
