Do you speak Japanese so fluently that you can pick out a poor actor or a good one? Can you tell when someone is "overacting"? Things like that take an extremely high level of proficiency in a language. I think this is often why people prefer the Japanese voices, because they don't know the language, so can't tell when someone's doing a poor job of it.
Only the first two pictures are relevant to the Waveface Light, which is the netbook that opens into a tablet. The next two are for the Waveface Ultra, some sort of flexible phone.
But yes, it should be "by removing the keyboard", not "by removing the PC". What does that even mean?
I like being able to hold (and turn the pages of) what would otherwise be an 800-page hardcover book in one hand while standing on the train, then slip it in my jacket pocket when I reach my stop.
If you do all your reading at home where you don't need to carry your books around, there's not really much reason to have one.
The problem is that people believe it's real medicine, and so they think it'll actually work. And when it doesn't, they don't necessarily go look for the stuff that actually will: Homeopathy Kills a Child
Indeed. I used to try out all these PHP IDEs, I used UltraEdit for a long time, etc. Then one day (for some reason I don't recall), I decided I wanted to take the time and really learn how to use vim properly. Now I can't go back. All those other editors feel clunky, underpowered, and slow. vim has all the same capabilities if you take a little time to figure out how to use (or enable) them, and working in it is considerably faster and more efficient.
I've found that almost everyone that prefers an IDE over vim doesn't actually know how to use it.
(UltraEdit used to be my favorite editor as well, but I finally got around to learning to use vim properly and now I'm no longer able to stand "normal" editors.)
The article itself makes it clear in the very first sentence that his relatives expect him to commit suicide before he can be extradited. The slashdot summary would rather imply that the evil America would be killing him.
Both of those sound better than FFXI's tutorial, which consists of:
<< Welcome to <servername>! >>
According to update notes, apparently they added a tutorial NPC on Sept 9, 2008 (the game came out on May 16, 2002), but that was a little late for me to experience it.

I'm not sure, but I think he was trying to say that someone that had never seen the game before wouldn't be able to beat it on their first try. That's definitely true, too many things that you have to know are coming.
However if he actually was trying to say that it's impossible for anyone to beat the game without dying, he's certainly wrong there.

Yeah, slashdot would wreck facebook and myspace, look at how much of their traffic we make up! http://siteanalytics.compete.com/facebook.com+myspace.com+slashdot.org/
We're almost off the axis, boys, keep it up!

Here's a direct link to the video, since the blog embedding it seems to be on the way to going down: CubeStormer
vim + xdebug - looks something like this (not my screenshot, just random google image search).

Apparently it's to "make Firefox feel faster". What a terrible decision, I had to immediately figure out how to change things back.
Uh, is there a reason you don't just use UltraEdit for Linux?

Apparently ScuttleMonkey is from Singapore or Hong Kong or something. Stuff Asian People Like - #87 "Lah"
It's no mistake either, he does it very regularly, one to two posts per day. They're boiling the frog, they'd love to turn this site into Digg.
If the article had been posted anywhere except on the BBC site, I probably wouldn't have believed it. I'm still finding it difficult.
Absolutely insane.
Seriously, fire samzenpus. Please.
Is there an "ohnoitssamzenpus" tag yet? There should be, every story he posts is awful.
The article itself makes it clear in the very first sentence that his relatives expect him to commit suicide before he can be extradited. The slashdot summary would rather imply that the evil America would be killing him.
His name is Gary, not Gray. Stellar editing as always, slashdot staff.
The band was The Get Out Clause, that's a link to an article about it. And the music video in question.
Unfortunately Chapter 5 consists entirely of "???".
Does anyone understand how the first sentence of the summary is supposed to relate to this story at all?
Good job tagging it "coolstorybro" though, whoever did that. You made me laugh.
Eve is not a competitor at all. Nothing is even close, but if you're trying to pick a "second place", it's certainly not Eve. Eve is at least 8th: http://users.telenet.be/mmodata/Charts/CASTop10.png (from http://mmodata.net/ )

That's 8 games in a little over one year.
I think this is a new low, and for samzenpus, that's a difficult feat.
