What's the point of this? If I have to move my hand in a similar way then I'd prefer to have the physical mouse there as a reference. I would think this would cause more strain than having an actual mouse, but maybe that's because I've been using a trackball for over a decade. Plus I fucking hate mimes and refuse to be forced to act, even remotely, like one.
Really, MS needs to stop imitating Apple, tablets aren't the "next big thing" unless you can deliver workable software or have an army of fanboys willing to buy anything no matter how overpriced and how many features it lacks.
As far as I know they started the Smartphone market.
I believe that IBM is credited with the "first smartphone" some time in the early 90's. Nokia had one in the mid to late 90's and the Blackberry has been around for the last 8 or 9 years now. Palm added telephonic capabilities around 10 years ago as well. I'm pretty sure MS got into the market in 2002. I think they jumped on the band-wagon more so than starting anything.
The summary reads like it was written by someone at nVidia; based on the summary you'd think this card could do cold fusion and mow my lawn at the same time while creating mind-blowing graphical displays.
Well damn, that pretty much settles the above debate about it being a bargain card as far as I'm concerned.
This is certainly some brain dead software error, a case of development focusing on the bells and whistle, and not core functionality.
That kind of reminds me of a mobile phone ad I saw in the EU a while back. The basic gist was about all of these features the phone had, camera, video, etc. At the end they asked "But can you make a phone call with it?" I think that seems to be lost on many smart phones. They can do all this crap, but miss that the fundamental use of a phone is to make calls. I've seen several phones that had awful call quality, or required way too many steps to actually make a call. I would think that the telephone part would be the one thing that should not have problems.
And even if they did install them (unlikely) they would be sued into oblivion the first time they were used. Especially if it blocked a foreign embassy or other diplomatic presence. Besides, the economic hit would mean political suicide to whomever was responsible for the switch being flipped.
Sued into oblivion by who? This isn't BP, Enron, or some other corporate entity you a re talking about. You can't just go to the "courthouse of the world" and file a lawsuit against the POTUS or the Gov't of the USA.
He's preparing for an impending class-action lawsuit by film-goers. I know the first time I saw a Uwe Boll "film" I was told I paid to see a movie and not the disastrous pile of shit that it was.
Slashdot Mirror
Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger."
That's a lie!
I am absolutely shocked that Courtney Love has read Snow Crash. Nice piece, good read.
I am absolutely shocked that Courtney Love can read
Congratulations to you both.

I may have been a dorkus malorkus in high school...
And judging by that sentence not much has changed. ;-)

Agreed. This pretty much sums up the iPad for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haja0u5WUbE

And whatever you do, never ever call them "spelunkers".
They hate that.
Seriously, everybody is just way to sensitive these days.

No. "Don't get it sandy. We can eat the chocolate. It's the only thing on this world we know we can eat." ;-)
And what can you say about them?
So Lucas didn't even come up with the force on his own, just a silly name for the soccer parasite. ;-)
Not to mention the use of superconducting(and thus typically liquid helium cooled) magnets in medical diagnostic imaging and medical research.
No helium, No MRIs.
Not quite. There are still low field permanent magnets. Not ideal I grant you, but not the end of MRI either.
This is what passes for "Progress" in space these days?
That would be funny if it wasn't true. You can get it from Amazon too.
I'm not sure which is funnier/sadder; That there are almost 400 reviews for this cable or that a "refurbished" one costs $1000.
Damn, over 3 years late?!!! That's *really* fucking old news, even for Slashdot standards.
Obligatory: You must be new here.
Indeed. Potato powered clocks have been around for at least 25 years.
I guess that you don't understand that a domestic entity can only sue the federal gov't if it allows it to do so.
And even if they did install them (unlikely) they would be sued into oblivion the first time they were used. Especially if it blocked a foreign embassy or other diplomatic presence. Besides, the economic hit would mean political suicide to whomever was responsible for the switch being flipped.

Must really hate bats.
The Blue Screen of Death will look awesome in 3D!
Or will it be The Red Ring of Death?

The real question is, does the FDA regulates the sales of freakin' sharks?
That would be the EPA. However the cranial mounting hardware is covered by the FDA.
Does the right to bear arms cover arms which are for more awesome than ever conceived of by the writers of the constitution?
I'd suggest you not have bare arms if this thing can set flesh on fire.
Isn't that why the OP suggested bear arms? Presumably the fur would provide some degree of protection.
