>>I'd like to see how they plan on monitoring my mage as it talks to your cleric in some obscure, nearly impossible to reach (unless you're level 50) corner of our favorite MUD.
The clerics in obscure level 50 corners of all MUD games are FBI agents. Did you not know that??
It's starting to look pretty realistic, in the way it walks and moves. They should put clothes on it, and a hat and some dark sun glasses. Then it would really freek people out.
...switching the world over to systems using RFID tags is going to be big business. The more they are used, the more the demand for developers to implement the systems. Bring it on I say...
At lunch break, get 500 kids in a big group to run in and out through a few times. This is gonna create a LOT of traffic on the RFID system. Better still, get all the schools in the area to do the same thing at the same time.
There's also good job oportunities there, provided you can follos the dress code. Is it just me, or does this guy have a strange obsession with body hair.
HP Dumps Linux for Windows XP MCE in New Media Player
NHS Awards Contract to Microsoft
Not a good couple of days for you open source boys.
As a Microsoft Puppy, it's great to see all this extra cash revanue for the guys in Redmond to pour into the next cool wave of tecnology to play around with.
You should dump Linux, get a job with a Micosoft shop, you then get a MSDN Universal licence, so you can use all Microsoft products for proto and dev work, plus all the betas and pre releases.
VisualStudio 2005 Team Edition, BizTalk 2004, Sharepoint, InfoPath, SQL 2005, Longhorn (Indigo is very cool...), SOA, MOM this is where it's at, and where it's going.
Admit it guys, you can't argue with a few billion dollers invested in R+D, at the moment it's MS who are delivering the most exciting technology.
"Let's say you've got a laptop where just about everything has gone wrong: the display is broken, the processor is slow, the battery is dead, there's no hard drive, and the keyboard been eaten by mice. I've still got a job that your laptop can handle."
Regualr guy: "Great! I'm off to collage, need some tips on the best places to party, the best clubs, and where all the hot chicks hang out."
Geek: "I've been looking around recently for other options as far as keeping track of my laptop and other semi-expensive and certainly valuable (for a college student) stuff in a dorm room setting.

>>What kind of lifespan can one expect from these type of devices?
Given the rate at which these things are evolving, they will pretty much be obsolete before they die of natural causes. If it breaks in a couple of years, then it will be a good excuse to go buy the latest 100G disk player, or 20G flash player.

This guy has written a series of articles "Going Independent" where he describes the pros and cons with a no-bull-shit attitude. Well worth reading.

From BBC News here.
In a statement Microsoft said its search engine returned results from five billion web pages - more than any other search engine.
But this quickly won a response from Google which announced that its index has now grown to more than 8 billion pages.
Prior to the Microsoft announcement, Google was only indexing 4,285,199,774 web pages.

No shit Sherlock, it's called the slashdot effect...
The idea of a of a "Cat without cat problems" has been around for a while.
I think this is a much more cost effective option.

The Star Wars premiere was great, but i bet he could really rip into these guys.

Wow... Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!
>>And I think there are deffinite chances of there being some extremely unique creatures at these depths of a cave.
You'r right, they are called "Cavers", very frightning to run into in a dark enclosed space.
When I was a lad I saw a BBC Model B computer, which had a Ceefax decoder attached to it.
This allowed you to browse ceefax on the computer, and also (this is cool) download software from Ceefax.
The BBC put out a few "BASIC programmes" for the BBC computer in this way.
>>Only a Brit could go to Benidorm and like it...:)
You've nevver bloody been there have you mate? It's full of bloody germans.
You don't wanna look ont tinternet for an oliday, you wanna look at ceefax.

Weather Balloon + Tank of Helium + 2 x 3G Video phones.
Stick the video phone on the balloon.
Call the other video phone from the balloon phone.
Let the balloon go.

The 3G network will give great coverage, in Europe you could see the video as the balloon passes between different counries.
