Think of it as a better virtual desktop manager.
I can't wait for this type of thing; as my day
goes on, I've got more and more shit on my desktop (siebel, debuggers, build windows, email, text editors etc etc). It's not that I want to
debug in 3D, but I sure would like to arrange
my work environment in 3d.
I guess that would make the "desktop" an "office".
I submitted the word "while", which I can
type in less than a second, and which I type
fairly frequently when coding; I just don't
believe you can get *anywhere* near the typing
speed by co-ordinating these two domes. To get 'w' I've just got to make sure I hit the 'w' key on a normal keyboard, but on this thing I have to bring a time-element in too, I need to make two movements. I love gadgets, but I won't
be ordering one of these.
I just read about a similar theory in a book
by Dr. Paul Davies, written in 1980! ("Space, Superspace and Multiple Universes)
It discusses
in detail the recurring magical number
10^40, and also discusses the anthropic principle;
the universe is amazing to us cos it's one of the
few possible where we can evolve and wonder at it.
Another thing this chap remarks on is how isotropic the universe is, and why there is not
as much disorder (entropy) as there ought to be; his example is the relative disorder of the mass
of our Sun and that same mass in the form of a black hole. Given that everything tends towards disorder, the probability of the sun being a black hole instead is astronomical.
Things to wonder about. Apologies for any theories, terminology etc that I mangled.
The concept is that you will hear Madonna one time and Janis Light the next song. Who is Janis Light? I have no idea, but the DJ is betting that if you like Madonna, you'll like Janis Light.
Now we're talking!! This is exactly the kind of
streamed service I would like. I am constantly
looking for new bands/music to listen to, and a service that can do this would be wonderful.
It wouldn't even have to be new bands - there are shedloads of albums I never heard, and this
sounds like a great way to explore some of that territory.
The Chicken
PS I wish he'd closed that bracket off, I feel
disoriented now...
the most INCREDIBLE f*ck-up we've seen in the
business sector in the last two centuries?!
I mean, "PHREEEEEEOOOOOOWWWWW!!" - you would
dismiss a story with a plot like this as being
totally ridiculous.
I feel sorry for the people whose hard work has
been wasted on this.
Do you think these people sacrifice a snappy product name just to make the hot-beverage link?
You know, if they didn't do this, then we might not understand the relationship with Java.
For the record, the name stinks.

How soon before these machines are shipping with Linux preinstalled? Is it really necessary to mention Linux to get a story posted on/.? We could ask "how long before Sun E4500s are shipping with Linux preinstalled", "how long before my toaster ships with Linux preinstalled"... We all know it should be:-), but the world is not Linux-centric.

When I go to the Perl website, I see links to resources that compare Perl with Python, C, Tcl/Tk, etc. Great! Horses for courses. It would be extremely helpful to see the same kind of links from each of the unix sites.

Yes, you're right, the script kiddie was just being inquisitive, not destructive at all.
what is all the whining about?
OBVIOUSLY to disparage the mentality and maturity of the attacker.
it's propaganda.
maybe that was a troll, and I bit?
Anti-aliasing definitely looks good on 14-pt fonts, but personally I never use them; I'd like to see how things look at 10-pt and below.
I thought it had already been proven that pi was irrational, by some greek bloke.
Aside from idle curiosity, and the wow-aren't-we-clever factor, what use is this knowledge?

You miss the point. FSF is about freedom, and not at the expense of competition. Why complain? Users usually benefit from a little rivalry.

Would they link "coke" to the fizzy drink site or a drug education site?
Deja could alway use superscript links to distinguish from the posters message.
OK, everyone has seen this URL, right?
