The article is misleading. A big reason for "lock-in's" is due to service contracts. While I can surely move away from microsoft to linux, it would require a new service contract. I just paid for the next 3 years of Microsoft Gold Ass Pirate Support Line or whatever it is called now. Why would I ever switch to RedHat? I could do the same, maybe even cheaper... but in three years the entire place will be built on microsoft. Its not rocket science, its lazyness.
Infact, most robotic applications that need balancing use a system of gyroscopes and accel's. Typically the application is use to gyroscopes for percise movements, while the accel.'s are used to off-set gryo drift.
Surely it would be a visually impressive sight. Other then that though, it would be worthless. The AI is simply not there to make it as we might think..
No no, you see the priest comes in.. says were all sinners and going to hell.. whatever. Then he gets kind of quiet and goes "and you know... lets take a minute to talk about stem cells." and thats when I get a headache..
Of course google uses dell servers. Everyone does. They buy something from Dell that Dell already excels at. Thats good buiness sense. Jumping into a market with a partner is not google's style though
I don't see this happening honestly. Google tends to buy out a company instead of partnership with it. especially after the wi-max fiasco I would see them perhaps buying a smaller smartphone vendor(openmoko comes to mind) and using that.
The title is very misleading, its actual a response to a possible panic caused by people using bad detectors. Imagine if hundreds of people buy shitty detectors that can be tripped by high NOX counts(A car emission). Suddenly on a hot afternoon during rush hour, 100+ counters register a large nuclear presence. Thats a big worry.
Finally, a firm got enough balls to blatantly abuse the living crap out of the patent system. Maybe this will start the much needed rework of the patent system.
Classic slashdot mod'n here folks. A simple joke, and yet its modded to 0 as "Offtopic". I'm sorry, but is not "Canadian" in the title? And is not my joke Canadian?
If You Can't Be Deep, Be Funny: If you don't have something truly developing to the topic, some humor is welcome. Humor is lacking in our lives and will continue to be promoted. Remember though, what rips your sides out may be completely inane to somebody else. [This won't help you anymore; see above.] --SLASHDOT FAQ Offtopic posts would be if I posted a story about two dogs and a cat drinking milk. So whoever modded this, go fuck yourself and read the FAQ.
After years of paper airplane building avoidance, maybe top-tier scientist are not stuck asking there lazier peers exactly what is the best way to make one.
All jokes aside(sorry) these are some serious bullshit lawsuits. This is kind of like sueing a car company for being seriously injured when you crashed into the pole. Any high electric-use device is "likely" to cause an electrical fire. I don't see how these irresponsible homeowners can sue HP? Should I go buy some laptops and place them on top of venting gas tanks and then when it explodes, sue sony?

I would like to extend our most honest "Damnit!" to the rest of the geek world.. this is gonna cause some serious headaches for me at church.
