How extended are the mobiles with internet capability in the states? There should be a point where it's more expensive to send so many messages instead of having internet and using any of the thousands of alternatives.
I'm looking forward to using that Android app that puts anything on screen (everything, not just video) and pipes it out the HDMI to another device, like an HDTV. I could see this being a truly useful device.
Doesn't the Archos 5IT do that by default? Plug the charger thingie, plug the video cable to tv and... I think that's all.
(disclaimer: It might be a false memory for having watched movies with it. I can't test now.)
Everybody else studies how to do stuff that implicates other people, from the physicist that need an engineer to the politician who can have a much greater impact but needs thousands if not millions of people on his side.
The engineer, almost by definition, is the only one who studies how to actually do the stuff. In the real world. The engineer is the one who transforms the math, the computing, the physics, the chemistry, into material realities....
However that's only for those who believed the original news item.
I don't think terrorists are engineers, I think that engineer terrorists are more visible because they use bombs, while political science terrorists convince idiots to immolate themselves, economics terrorists funnel the money to buy the bomb materials, etc.
The bombs dropped on Japan in WWII weren't just the products of scientists, you know...it's hard to build a bomb with a crowbar.
The bombs dropped on Japan were the end result of a country wide effort that implicated people from every (useful) discipline.
I agree that a matematician or a physicist can have a deeper impact than almost any other professional. But right after them come the rulers, high level politicians, economists, etc.
Do you think anyone would expect anything else? (except the guy who came with the "colorblind can't see 3D" answer. His expectations about removing the glasses were probably that his head would explode, or he'd throw laserbeams or something)
Were you Igor, your response to poor Dr.Frankenstein's "It lives! It liiiiiives!!" would probably be "Well yeah but the seams are kind of obvious. And what's with the bolts in the neck?"
I guess it's to remind us of an over ten years old technology that we're still not using on a daily basis. So we don't completely forget about it.
Maybe it still causes too much paradox for the Technocracy and they need to really convince the humanity that it should work, so they can advance towards the liquid metal terminators. But it's unlikely, with most of those concepts being imaginary and all.
For ultraviolence you need: - A blood/corpse ratio of about 25l:1 - teabagging - weapons larger than humanly possible to carry. - Men with a musculature that would put Mr. Olimpia to shame. - Women with breasts larger than humanly possible to carry. - Zombies. - A strip club. -......
"Do you think parents should be responsible for preventing their children from accessing video games containing violent content?" I would bet you that those same 72% are going to say "yes" to that as well.
Are you crazy? The mere mention of "parent's should be responsible for preventing... " will unleash immense rage and screams of "It's impossible!" "I can't know eerything my kid does!" "Anarchy! Anarchy! The end is nigh! Repent!!!"
Ok, maybe a bit less extreme, but many will get defensive at the slightest mention of parent responsability.
I have had to show an ID to get M rated games from stores here in Texas
Out of pure curiosity, do you need to show an ID to rent or buy a movie like... hmm... Something equivalent to left4dead or somesuch. Zombieland, for example.
slightly overweight Norwegian Forest cat is 8kg, and that's the biggest race there is. Your sister's kitteh at 11kg sounds like something barely able to move.
Ok, slightly overweight would be a bit too euphemistic. He can walk perfectly well, and his belly does touch the floor. He can't really jump much, though.
Now you understand the use of convincing your population that giving volumes in ping pong balls, areas in stadiums and data volume in libraries of Congress is perfectly fine.
A sheet of glass like in a picture frame (2mm) or like in an Aquarium (Several cm's).
Marketing: "I said it'll be no thicker than a sheet of glass." I+D: "That's retarded, we're not even close." CEO: "Didn't the nuclear bunkers from those desert tests had a window towards the explosion?" Marketing: "Half as thick as a sheet of glass!"

You're supposed to be subtler than that. If you're going to be this obvious you might as well post "TROLOLOLOLOL!"

What's to stop people just dumping it on the street at night?
Snipers. Lots and lots of snipers.
But the real question is: Why whould people dump e-waste in the street instead on in their regular garbage bag?
And the answer to that is also Snipers. Or MAGMA! Yes, definitively the answer is MAGMA!
I think it has to have 3G in order to qualify for the Android Marketplace.
Unless you download the hacked app and connect by wifi.
7" LCD is convenient - but I'd have to know how many sheets-of-glass thick it is before I'd consider buying one.
"Based on our nuclear test bunker estimate, it's under half a sheet of glass thick" - Samsung CEO.

So now I can honestly tell the ladies I regularly have 7'' in hand
7" is below average range's top.
The joke size starts officially at 22cm (8"?). It's all in the copy of "BE A MAN!" manual that was given to you upon reaching puberty.
But most of the damage of 9/11 wasn't made by the actual terrorists. They can't claim points for that.
And they were many.
In all, Madoff was playing at a whole different level.
An engineer can do stuff by himself. That's all.

But I bet he could write a really scary business plan! OOOH!
You think Madoff was an engineer?
You think an engineer would be able to do such damage?
without the glasses, it's just a red/blue mess.
Did you expect anything else?

The reasoning must've been something like:
"the pretty pretty colors make the picture fat!"
Q: "I can no see pretty pretty colors"
A: "no fat picture for you!"
Q: Q_Q
I fail to see how [...]
Then you're probably colorblind.
It works with Keanu Reeves.
Having seen several Keanu films... no it doesn't
Were you Igor, your response to poor Dr.Frankenstein's "It lives! It liiiiiives!!" would probably be "Well yeah but the seams are kind of obvious. And what's with the bolts in the neck?"
Even a random word generator would get things right more often than a Slashdot editor.
I disagree. This is what a random word generator got me:
Drawings can followed improved out sociable not. Earnestly so do instantly pretended.
True, it's close, but I still think the random word generator comes in second place.
I didn't know that the Terminator movies were written by this Harry Potter person.
The terminator movies weren't written. They just put the robots on a stage and let them improvise.
What! It works with Keanu Reeves.

War (legal ultraviolence)
War isn't ultraviolence.
For ultraviolence you need: ... ...
- A blood/corpse ratio of about 25l:1
- teabagging
- weapons larger than humanly possible to carry.
- Men with a musculature that would put Mr. Olimpia to shame.
- Women with breasts larger than humanly possible to carry.
- Zombies.
- A strip club.

Great, now I miss Duke Nukem.

Ten pounds for a cat? 4.5kg??!?
What kind of sick bastard would let his poor cat suffer the required famine to only let him reach 4.5kg? ...
My sister's "Sonar" weights 24 pounds; the cutest ball of fat and fur. :)
