The new EyeTVs can do composite and S-video as well. I have an EyeTV 200 really like it. The recording quality on high is about equivalent to my digital cable. They also have one for HDTV too.
I think the voltage-switching aspect of these batteries is the really important part. If the manufacturing process were streamlined, this would have some interesting applications.
It isn't, and never has been. Right now, we are at our most democratic point in our history of our nation. The founding fathers never intended to give the vote to any one except aristocratic white males. In a true democracy, suffrage is extended to all who live in a country. An extreme example of this is Kuwait. Actual Kuwaiti citizens are the only ones who are allowed to vote there, but are a minority. There is no fully Democratic nation anywhere right now.
I always wanted a phone that could connect to my mac using GPRS, bluetooth, and 802.11. I would like something so that I can access my computer remotely without a computer. It would probably allow you to do much more interesting stuff than the current PDA/Phones
Exactly. It would have taken me days to send my friend the entire series of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but I loaded them all onto my iPod and took them over to his house. No time wasted burning to DVD/CD or uploading (which for some reason KILLS my download rate). When video is the task at hand, a big iPod can move it faster than just about any other digital media.
1. Start eBay auction with lots of old video game crap. 2. Post auction to/. so that lovers of said old videogame crap will see it and bid with all the money they have saved from not having dates their whole lives. 3. ??? 4. Profit!!
I think though that a small magnifying lens that can be attached a fixed distance from the screen may be a good idea though. If you had a 2.2 inch diagonal LCD and could use something like was popular for the early gameboys to make it seem like a 4.4 inch screen that would make it a lot more usable. You could use such a thing for making a cell phone that is a usable web browsing tool.

Apple has had some high res pics of the iMac insides for a while. Here (http://www.apple.com/pr/photos/imacflat/04imac.ht ml) they are.
For real./. moderation is teh suck. When mods and posters don't RTFA, this kind of junk gets modded way above the relevant and substantial posts. As for Dutchmaan, he just doesn't make sense.
Yes, it is irrelevant. In this case, "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man will be king" makes just as much sense as "Love is blind" or "When the blind lead the blind..." I know what it means to say that, "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man will be king," but that has nothing to do with the article at hand. Maybe to a dutchman it makes sense, but not in its english usage.
And in the land of Slashdot, irrelevant clichés are modded +4 insightful. That saying has nothing to do with the article and isn't funny, so what is it?
Those falling out eyeballs must be the reason for this new guy at work. He just keeps looking at me funny. It makes me want to slap the snot out of him.
*Slap*
You are frozen by the floating eye's gaze. You can move again.
In a lot of places, wearing a mask in public IS illegal. Here in Lexington, KY for example it is illegal for anyone over 16 (I think, may be 14) to wear a full face mask. Recently there were several protesters arrested for wearing partial masks.
I like FICS better than ICC, but anyways... Why does it matter that much about someone breaking timeseal? If you're cheating on ICC, then you truly must have no life. Yes, there are some prizes available for their tournaments, but to play on ICC just to win stuff is silly. Chess is a game. If you cheat so that you can win some rinky-dink prize or, even more deplorably, to just boost your rating then you are truly a pathetic individual. Any win by cheating is essentially hollow and meaningless. Chess is fun, but cheating seeems like one way to make it un-fun really fast. When chess stops being fun, what's the point?
It makes very little sense to me to deorbit something so fragile. I know that the fate of the shuttles is a little uncertain now, but why not just wait for some trip to orbit or the ISS to pick up the capsule? Once again, it seems like rushing to get the job done has bit the space program in the ass. I know doing anything space-related is not a trivial matter, but should it really be that hard when you have years of experience, millions of dollars, and some truly brilliant people at work? I'm not saying I could do any better, but I think there is someone who could.
I think the main difference though is that quicktime can encode and play a lot of open formats really well. A quicktime device would be able to play a lot more formats natively. Yes, having to use.mov's in a device would be pretty lame, but.mov files are only relatively small group of files which quicktime handles. Frankly, Windows Media sucks on a Mac. Playback quality is at best marginal on my dual 1.8 G5. God forbid I have to resize the window or jump to a different part of the file being played back. In my experience, Quicktime works better on windows than WMP does on Mac. Also, it seems that divX, Xvid, and 3ivx put WMV to shame bit for bit.
Why don't they just call it the tackyPod? Or excuse me, "tacyPod". Seriously, how more dumb or wasteful can you get than a diamond iPod? The bling has gotten out of control. What's next, lil Kim's diamond encrusted tampons? 50 Cent's diamond Crack Pipe? Nelly's Diamond band-aid?
True, nobody was hurt as a result of the 5300 battery issue, but 5300 li-ion batteies were shipped. I should know, I had a 5300 ce. The battery itself was great (and one of, if not the first li-ion batteries). The problem was with a part of the recharge circuit that would not stop the recharge cycle even when the battery was full. Overcharging a Lithium-Ion bettery causes it to not only get hot, but also causes a buildup of Hydrogen (in H+ form I believe). The combination of those factors can lead to a fire in some circumstances. It is really unfortunate that apple dropped the Lithium batteries in favor of NiMH beacause of that incident, but I guess they wanted to be safe. Personally, I took the NiMH replacement, but the battery life wasn't nearly as good. Any Lithium-Ion battery has the potential for exploding, (really, they don't explode, judt catch on fire) but there is a chip inside all of them which keeps tham from doing so. Apple used the very first generation of Sony (the first people to make Li-IOn batteries) batteries to run in the Powerbooks and they got burned (har har) for it. F-it, I'm drunk. Please don't mod me down.

A "killer app" involving old people and sketchy modes of transportation, I might get to collect on social security after all.

Who gives a whoop about the election, why do we have to put video game characters in a video to get to see Music Videos on MTV?
Well, around here electricity is pretty cheap, and Nethack is free. So I guess my 8 hour a day nethack habit isn't a problem. Schweet.
