I hate it when they review wireless mice (or include wireless mice in review). They always forget to include BlueTooth mice. I have used the optical mice, IR mice, top rated mice. But whenever it's IR, if the receiver and your mouse are not pointed the right way, it just doesn't work!
I was blown away by the BT mouse that I got. It was small, but accuracy was great! Mind you that my requirements are low, but compared to the IR stuff, it was just night and day. Response time was great, IR tended to lag when you let it rest for a bit, not so with bt. Also, I use it to control the PC attached to the TV sitting 15ft away from me, NOT possible with typical IR mouse. It's gotten an off button to boot, so I don't have to marry it to the cradle which is constantly draining power
Basically, he saw the nice opening that Ep 3 had and knew that there is still more money on the table. Being the greedy man that he is, he couldn't just let it go
Actually, MS profits in all the above scenarios as they all produce software for a MS OS.
Also, $299 is a prohibitive price for casual free/ shareware developers for the platform.
As MS now has a majority marketshare with no free alternatives (samsungs are rather underwhelming for the price) with comparable capabilities. MS has lock in and can charge what they want
If the auditors are there for just a couple of wks, it sounds like they'll just be spending there time holding meetings, presentations and going over documentation. With minimal time going over the actual adherence.
There might not be a policy for single passwds, but that doesn't prevent lazy admins from making only one passwd for everything
Looks like google is building a portal from the ground up. Unlike the portals in the past (AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc) who went in and said: "I want to make a portal", then went about creating half-baked services that would allow it to have a range of services that makes it a portal. Google is doing it the other way around. It is building service sets into best of breed: news, mail, blog, froogle, local, maps. Calendar seems to be the next link in the chain that leads to a full blown portal
The parent post is more insightful than funny. If there was a low cost high efficiency replicator, then the only thing that would be of value would be the various patterns / things that can be replicated. Supposed all that information is shared, everyone would have everyone they can/would ever want except for the space to put it all. In a way, life is meaningless except for the search for that new thing under the sun to add to the replicator

Finding Nemo was a fine movie and all, but that is all that it was, fine. I wouldn't put it in top 100 unless you limited to only animated films...
So, is it just that they look down on animation and that was the only animated film that they saw or did they get paid by Disney/Pixar?
Search for more money.

I need more sleep, I thought that the thread was about Buddhist typists ...
that should stop the stupid spending bill and Real ID bill dead in it's tracks
So, now that all the work has been done, will IBM lay off all these people now as it plans to lay off 13,000 people?
It's a beowulf cluster
I like the final slide.
Number of years when then entire cluster will be on your desktop: 15
What does the What Working group work on ?? What? What?
So, people are actually calling these skype "broadcasters" to listen to their hold music?!

hmmm... Not to disrespect a senior member ... but I believe your UID (16872) has only five digits
This so reminds me of that teddy bear in the movie AI. I'm waiting for the next rev where they put the tech of Robosapien with this.

This is like a competition for the lowest UID to reply to this thread, we are down to 1678, so somebody with a 3 digit UID reply dammit!
Then that would be cool because we can carry around scanners that would help us read the cards without having to count it :)
Yes, but the interface is oral, so you must insert foot in mouth for efficient operation.

Clearly this is why you now read /.

Thank you! I was wondering why Least Significant Bit needs to be submitted to the IEEE
Yes, but he said the middle of "nowhere", not the US or North America. So, I side with him
