Ever bought a 5$ laser pointer? I guess not, they last for hours, not even days! And yes, I tried to replace the f*cking batteries...
Mmmmmm..... no KISS here?

The Mouse Vanishes
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Keep It Simple Stupid... I love my mouse, I love my trackball. It's simple, it can easily be replaced, requires almost no processing power and can be knocked on the table when it does not work, just for anger relief.
This kind of device, I guess, would require a lot more computing power to use, would eventually be integrated, and at 20 bucks for the thing, would break in the blink of an eye. Also, what about lag? I hate this 2ms - 5ms lag in the iPhone...
Please, I want to keep my hardware, plastic optical mouse.
I thought the name of the spacecraft was Hayabusa, not Hayausa... A little spell checking would not be that bad before posting stories! Not that I am a grammar freak (I am a french Canadian), but this one is so obvious!
With a boost of commercial launches, won't there also be a boost of space junk when these orbiting things are decommissionned 15 years from now? How does that increase collision risks, like the 2009 Iridium/Kosmos collision?
Maybe it's time for thinking about mandatory destruction of satellites at the end of their useful life, instead of trying to make money out of launching things only...
Absolutely agree with you on this, except that you will have to convince all your software suppliers to create a version of their software for Linux, or you will have to find other software for the employees at your pretty big business to do their job.
Unless all they are using is MS Office that you can replace with OO, you're gonna have the hell of a time finding equivalent software, but in the end, it might pay. Or be painful.
Canadian Federal or Provincial Governments are CYA [wikipedia.org] activists.
Not activists. Extremists.
Why they're afraid to make decisions? Because they don't like to be disturbed while they're sleeping in their office, by their boss saying "Can you explain that to me dumbass? What is this Lunix thing?"
In fact, the rules for winning contracts are very clear. Lowest price for a qualified submission, or highest score divided by price submission.
But as you say, there is still corruption, so it is still unlikely a small business as Savoir Faire Linux may win a contract to replace the OS on 2500 workstations in government offices... Except if they can give a brown envelope full of cash to some influential-enough person...
OTOH, I don't see how a form of primitive life can adapt to so much drastic and regular changes that are over a timespan of 1000 years, while some not so drastic and truly exceptional changes here have almost caused a total extinction of most species over that same timeframe.
Proteins are the building blocks for life, but they can also be the cause of its destruction... Although at first it may seem good, what about this thing is really bad and causes some strange and unknown disease? I hope there will be thorough testing before this synthetic thing is used on humans. Didn't RTFA, as usual...
If the site still exists, and am looking for an older woman to have some fun at night, I'm sure that Googling "Cougar dating" should give me satisfaction, instead of having an ad displayed from time to time making me think that I like to be a toy boy...
Yeah asshole. If you'd RTFA you would understand that Man-Drive-A is selling sexual products for men that run Linux.
I think you didn't read the right article... it was on the OTHER tab of your browser, the one where there was no porn and where you posted this piece of anthology.
Hey, I know this is Slashdot, but usually, posters will at least read the summary to understand part of the news, not just the title!
If you'd read the summary, you'd understand that they're not starting to sell the distribution to customers, but that the "company" itself is up for sale! Didn't RTFA, but that's what I understand reading the summary.
But this is Slashdot eh! Summaries are not *always* good...

You really think that Adobe will want to sell its CS products and give a cut to Apple? HA!
So Steve's iFilter should filter the fucking email out...
Are you from Nigeria?
Coz yes, he's an icon to the Trekkies, but he is such a bad actor, I hope he will be better as Governor General...
This is a needed boost for the US launch industry

How long before a conspirationnist comes up with a chemtrail comment?
Mmmm I think it can barely play PacMan...
If so, I don't want it even if they give me a billion to own it! ;-)
OK forget it. I loaded the page at a strange moment too maybe...

Strange moderators today... Why the hell has this post been moderated "funny". Or am I the only one not catching the "joke" in it???

In fact, they should only be exposed to the following symbols:
+ - = / * $ and ~.
They're far less violent.

So what would the word be? Google-sympto-mania? Symptoms related search disease? Or plain stupidity?
And maybe the travel company organizes illegal sexual trips to Bangkok, although I doubt it...
Your data will be VERY safe when you hand it to those prisoners...
