"Isn't it better to be unemployed, alone and happy than rich, married, and depressed?"
Sure, that sounds great! Sucks for the rest of us working stiffs paying taxes so the unemployed by choice person gets to play games all day while we cover the welfare tab.
Standard working hours are 8 hours a day in most places. If a person can't spend 8 hours a day working because they NEED to play a game, they need to get a reality check.
How will this help? I live in Canada, and do you think they will sell Windows and its variety of software in Canada that will work on a non-Pd-PC? It'll be the same everywhere, you can't run the newer stuff because you dont have Pd machine.
gaming companies will be forced to have it in their games etc. etc...
heh thats all we need, ms to screw it up, dell to charge a fortune for the screwup and unisys to patent the screwup after everyone has been using it for many years
Reminds me of kids saying my dad can beat up your dad when they had nothing intelligent to say. Is this why you said your gf can kick their asses in physical or technical?
And finally about that same comment, you were bitching because people were inferring things about Russians without foundation, and then you go infer that your gf is the almighty woman that can kick their ass without you even seeing the competition?
There are better ways to get your point accross hypocrit
Given a certain rate or more to distinguish whether the phone was being used in a car is no grounds to shut down the phone, or are passengers not allowed to make calls as well?
How about trains?
Technology that makes decisions for us usually makes the wrong decision. I wont even begin to get into ABS:)
free car? free internet? I thought telecommuting was a perk for the employee. The PHB lets someone work for home as a favour and they want more? seems greedy to me.
Im sorry, you talk about how you would rather risk an accident and potential loss of life because you would never want to miss a call from your girlfriend...and you're surprised you got moderated down? Use your brain next time, or after getting you your cell phone and tahoe did mommy and daddy forget to fund you an education?
sounds like a good idea, but if possible could you make something that is not "in dash". I don't want to give up my CD deck to listen to sub CD quality music all the time....currently i just hook a laptop up to my amps to play mp3's on the road, but still have the option to play CD's if i want.
of course pinkerton doesn't care, they were probably all part of the cool group or whatever and don't know shit about what its like to be the outcast. I bet if a few members of the board were outcasts in school they would be open to other suggestions.
pinkerton, if you actually read this, i want you to know you will be hurting more people and wrecking more lives than you save, only to line your pocketbooks. You people make me sick. I only hope the individual's coming up with this idea don't go home and think they are decent and moral human beings after working on such a project.
the article says many companies use or will be using this kind of technology. So what about the patent transmeta got for their code morpher? Will there be big legal battles ahead?
you have a good point when you say Sharing one's faith in a forum is very different from conducting a worship service in that same forum!....possibly I was lashing out from other things i've seen, like when *insert religion here* gets an ISP to shutdown a page and puts up their own page and such, that would be forcing people to not see what they want because it conflicts with *insert religion here*'s views. So for this, I apologize.
however, i have to say something about your posts. You seem to like quoting the bible alot, so I was wondering if you could just clarify one thing for me....
The following is not word for word (no bible handy), just a story i remember having to read from the bible, im sure you've heard it....:
has to do with a bunch of rich guys giving a lot of money for the poor, but an old poor lady gives her last 2 "pennies"? (or whatever currency)...and Jesus basically said that this lady gave more than any of those rich guys and was guaranteed a seat in heaven (or something to this effect)...
so my question is...if you believe so strongly in the bible and think its teachings apply to today, then why do you have a computer to post on slashdot when the teachings of the bible indicate you should have used that money for the poor?
You talk about Judaism where believers would gather as a community. Note that they ALL believe in Judaism and if they all want to get together and enjoy their community then all the power to them.
a) preach their religion on a forum that is not specifically designed for their religious beliefs
If the topic comes up, why not?
I have yet to see the topic come up until someone throws it in. Meaning, theres a topic on slashdot about whatever, and someone says their religion says its wrong or whatnot....this is not "the topic came up" but more "i made the topic come up". There is a difference.
This brings me to my point. Religion should be brought up in a forum directed towards religion.
Also, when you say Christ instructed his followers to preach the Gospel to all nations, i don't see anything wrong with this as long as the preaching is given to someone who wants to know.
I like Jon's views on religion in politics, technology etc....
I would like to share an opinion of mine.
First off, i will not reveal which religion, if any, i follow for a simple reason: Religion is personal! It is a personal choice that a person makes for themselves. I don't see the need for people to:
a) preach their religion on a forum that is not specifically designed for their religious beliefs
b) put down other people religions
c) use religion in an argument ie. cloning is morally wrong because *insert religion here* says its wrong.
in conclusion, can we keep religion the way it was meant to be--personal.

i know eh :)
maybe it will take care of that skynet problem for us
On the upside, if his truck is his workplace, he should be able to talk on the phone.
Hell yes you'd be guilty of a thought crime! In fact, you're children are probably already a member of the spies and have reported you already.
Stand still in front of the telescreen.
TFA says that ACLU has already commented, so I'm sure they are/will be involved :)

I am not defending the gas guzzling SUV as I will never own one, but...
You say you bought a car for half the price of an SUV and go on to say that hybrid is cheaper then a straight gas vehicle.
There is a lot of difference between a 2 seater insight with little trunk space due to the huge batteries and an SUV meant to carry something.
Apples and Oranges
Paper 3 tiems as expensive. .PEN format? .NET required?
:)
windows only?
Save yourself the trouble and by a scanner. You get the same thing as this when it transfers it to your PC except you're not restricted to the above.
That, and you can use the scanner for other things too

This is a bad thing
I am just wondering if applications need to be specifically written for MOSIX like they do for PVM?
:)
If not, I may just have to try this one
heh thats all we need, ms to screw it up, dell to charge a fortune for the screwup and unisys to patent the screwup after everyone has been using it for many years
whoa, I totally would have missed that had you not pointed it out, way to be on the ball!
Question is, who should be notified of this problem?
Also I read every now and then about how if you do not protect your IP rights, then they can be taken away? if so, does this apply here too?
Holy hypocrit batman!

Actually shutting down would be a bad thing.

then what? they'll be only one type of car? maybe only one type of window manager? or better yet, only one OS.
without choice, you'll go from many different things that some people want to one type of thing that no one wants.

btw its CELL phone, not CEL phone.

That sounds like it'd suck for anyone running more than a factory stereo :)
could see it now, traffic jam, one minute later my battery is dead and my amps laughing at me.

i'm pretty sure he was referring to the backend servers that store all the info about accounts etc... which i'd hope like hell didnt run windows
