The ping time alone could get you out the door before anyone got the e-mail:) even get your value meal done (possibly though your system last time I had one)

Although they call it dingers:
McGwire: Young Bart here is right. We are spying on you, pretty much around the clock. Bart: But why, Mr. McGwire? McGwire: Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers? Crowd: Dingers! Dingers!
% The family heads up to Bart's room, where the boy has been doing some redecorating. The ceiling is filled with wire hangers, each dangling from a string. Bart, wearing a trash can lid for a helmet, is busy wrapping himself in aluminum foil.
Bart: You're probably wondering about the coat hangers. They're to block the satellite that's been spying on me. Marge: [with trepidation] Okay... Bart: It can read your electric organizer from space. Homer: Even mine? [Bart takes it and smashes it] Hey, I had Lenny's name on that! Bart: They have it now. Lisa: Who are they, exactly? Bart: Who else? Major League Baseball. Homer: [loud whisper] Marge, I think Bart's gone crazy. Lisa: Oh, Bart, what's happened to you? Bart: Nothing yet, but the time draws near. [whips out a pair of pliers] Now let's get those fillings out of you!
[Lisa screams] Homer: [takes pliers] Hey, you found my needle-nose pliers.
since it was an ANON, I'll repeat it with a score. he has a point.
by Anonymous Coward on Sunday March 09, @08:10PM (#5473736) You missed the point. The point is that you wouldn't even be telling that joke, because you'd have to be at the office.
A Cell phone with good coverage is a must if you enjoy your privacy. Before I had to stay at home waiting for calls, work AT home or at work. Now I can use my palmpilot and CE clamshell and have my whole office anywhere I desire, generally in the mountains or elsewhere.
I can give my family more of my time because I can conduct business as it happens instead of 8 hours a day and cut off. A quick incoming call, break out the palm, set an appointment, get back to the family.
I wouldn't be without it now. Heck I don't even shut it off at night for fear of missing a morning call (I'm good at picking up and sounding like I've been awake for hours).
As for the "my time" issue, thats waht caller ID is for:)
Ya, my grandpa is doing this right now as we speak. you can monitor it realtime as he gets his new heart. here's his URL: http://grandpasheartmonitor.com
with this perverse investment in technology it brings to light the possibility of murder by Virus.
Hack a machine being prepared for the surgery and have it send a horizontal slice 30 minutes into Mr. Gates open heart surgery.
There is no stopping this kind of crime unless the computers involved are Bios flashed, loaded from ROM media(from a locked and certified source), and tested immediately before the procedure. quite like putting all your physical devices in an autoclave.
I like tech, but I'll stick to live docs for a while, or get it done quickly before this type of crime comes to surface.
All I say is I installed the ftp version and felt way different than the full version. maybee they have improved on this discontinuity since 6.2 when I last cared to purchase it.
nu-uh... Microtron tubes work well into 1600x1200 on a 17" monitor. readable even, thats what I'm browsing in. 85 hz in that res in games on a ati 9000 pro.

exactly. the brain does not work in Digital form, or get perfect data on the surrounding conditions (eg. wind speed), it assumes. These computers would be better at the things we are good at. Possibily allowing AI to become aware.
Following on your thought, I don't recall any toddler that just stands up and throws a ball perfectly. usually it pegs the dog in the eye, or into daddy's groin. the point is, we did fail, and learned from that failure.
To get the star trek DATA charicter, we would need a combo of Digital and wet hardware to allow all these to work.
As they mention in the article, the computer can tell you IF there is a 1 in a string, but it cannot tell you how many. Much like a human. Yes we can count a series of numbers, but at a glance, we could ID IF something exists.
This is a great advance, although it's more likely to increase your frag count in Doom3 than increase your frame count.

..incorporates a minicam to record as evidence what you are shooting at
When it hits the US shelves...Can't wait for the TV show:
Americas funniest homicides
as long as they dont get bob saget to commentary. "oooh right in the groin, thats got to hurt"
let em try and shut you down there...
:) even get your value meal done (possibly though your system last time I had one)

next to mcdonalds...
atleast then they may have wi-fi
and with the water, the mcdonalds will have the watered down cokes they are so fond of supplying.
ya, just release some alge or other brackish tolerant plant and wait a few million/billion years.

all we need is little foil hats and they wont be able to read our thoughts to see where we are.... they have satellites you know.
Leak next door be damned, AIM it next door. If they don't have access yet, your not going to conflict with anything.
When/if they get around to adding Wi-Fi it will be too late, you will have prior establishment.
Allow em to pay for the service on a handy dandy secure web page via the network, and viola, you just took over the wi-fi from the big guys.
Take that MSN!

As for the "my time" issue, thats waht caller ID is for
ya, and with source code releases they also have a GL version that can abuse even the best of hardware. even allows Z axis.
it's here for your retro gaming goodness
na, just fancier scratches on the walls.
it's about time someone realizes that just becase it's made of 1's and 0's it's still just a recording, and protected under fair use.
if they keep this up, I'll have to transfer all my mp3's and ogg's over to tape.
Lemme know, maybee I'll throw it into a journal or something... heck, I've thought about a slashdot reject site.

not to most users... thats all they usually use :)
All I say is I installed the ftp version and felt way different than the full version. maybee they have improved on this discontinuity since 6.2 when I last cared to purchase it.
god forbid they change the file. MSN cache is the bane of my existance in web design.
I just changed my icon to a black hole.... oh wait, that a fat32 partition... my bad.
before you criticize me read the readme files. Suse is NOT free. they give away a limited ftp install. it is not the same as the real release.
obviously you didn't download their ISO's.
on the other hand, SuSe, a great OS, is NOT availible unless you shell out money.

all this power and STILL we ususally go off into a darkend room, surf porn, and play solitaire.
