Sometimes I think he deliberately underplays his role. I love him in Constantine (which I also refer to as his antiNeo flick: Angela/Rachel Weisz the cop pulls out a gun, and he almost sneers, That really won't help) because it made Rachel more interesting even though his is the title role.
If I ever caught these on TV, i'd watch them right there: 1) Jonny Mnemonic and 2) Point Break, because he's With Busey.
I had worked on a register with a touchscreen, and WinXP. THe register part worked and you could enter data fast because things like scrollbars and buttons were huge. But when you had to switch to something in Control Panel for instance, since the widgets were normal size instead of touchscreen size, it would always be a struggle to move or close a window using any of the GUI buttons.
I agree, forget about using standard desktop OSes. And that's what the iPad is demonstrating.
For the noobs, thats What-You-See-Is-What-I-Got, normally after some software that was promised to deliver ABC gets XYZ instead, after paying M thousand dollars, and is in the process of being reported to upper Management.
It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
Can I have said Robot Transform into Shopper With Recyclable Grocery Bag and then pick up my groceries?
WHat do you say, Stanford? (Forget about the Toss-keys-to-valet trick, we KNOW you guys can make it do that, eventually. We're damn impressed by this one already!)
Well, they could have had the decency to post a warning in-game:
This will be your Last Game. No respawn, no requests for immediate evac, just shoot to kill, and the last medikits (whatever they're called) are up for grabs. So long, and Microsoft would like to honor your loyalty by engraving your frags on a monument that sadly no one will see. Don't worry, it will be an easter egg in our next edition of Excel: The Spreadsheet. When that gets ported to Xbox, that is.
Do what I did, replace them with nice-looking plain bold TEXT. Horizontal or Vertical, they work. Eventually you get to know where the app is after constant use. Ever since icons started losing their meaning, and then started going wacky with bubble-gum fisher price colors, I chose to make mine a business minded desktop.
Add your own effects as well, e.g. reflection, shadow. And mostly neutral colors, so they won't distract from color graphics work.
This (iPad Keyboard Dock) has got to be the form factor I've been looking for, for ages. I'd switch to landscape mode if I could, without the iPad switching to portrait and ruining it for me. Thanks for sharing the link to iPad Keyboard Dock. *sigh why portrait, it's assuming I am typing a letter/document. F*ing great. Clippy LIVES, thanks to Apple.
Oh and the photo of the lamp on the stack--sure made my day--and if he had a girlfriend/wife, I'm sure SHE won the argument, See? THAT'S what this table is for! but as soon as she turned away, the guy put it back and adamantly proclaimed: 'and THAT'S what this stack is for!!' (spoken in a whisper though).
It's not a car. It's not designed like a car would be
And that is precisely why Lamborghini and Ferrari have decided to stay at home for this one, and McLaren also sent in their regrets (they had other plans that day, TBH).
Well, it could have been snapped right out of a Stephenson book, but yeah, it would have been his front page, not Slashdot's.
My search skills are sub-par, where is that story in/. about 'Sci-Fi short stories in seven words or less' when you need it? Any link/help would be greatly appreciated...
Me, too. And the replies sounded like they missed the second option entirely, almost like pre-dinner cocktails and listening to the advice of a homicidal person. The same conversation could be held inside a cell, with each one sitting on their bunk beds. Such nerds we are.

That's it, then. The world will end tomorrow.
And if this is your first night at Slashdot, you have to fight!

Ooh Ooh! Can I hit him with a real bat instead?
Would *you* bring a robot to a knife fight?
2 robots in a knife fight would be awesome, like Matrix 4.
Oh, wait...
Oh, birds. The kind that go whop-whop-whop and nest at small airports. Think I get it now...
I mean, like 3 first names.
Oh,wait...

The Predator is one bad-ass early adopter, and pre-orders the first batch exclusively for his squadron.
Have you tried overclocking them?
Didn't think so.
It only makes you blind dude, not ...what was that again...
The pr0n enthusiasts must still be asleep; there has been no mention yet. Either that, or the world will definitely come to an end tomorrow.
