I wonder whether there are environments where technologies like NeatX can be regarded as "God sent" solutions.
I know the technology and have used it several times but I still fail to see how it could be useful given the enormous power today's systems have.
I guess I am calling for serious implementations...anyone?
I am thinking maybe somewhere along the cloud computing scape. I would think that loading the client alone would be less than a minimal netbook OS, while the server handled all the backend work.
I didn't understand the "lipstick on a pig" phrase at all, but I have LITERALLY done it. Makes the pig have tastier bacon, ham, and pork when done hours before taking it to be processed.
Hey lookie, the NYT doesn't cost much, and I can read it while I commute home. (More people should try reading during the commute, methinks).
That would work if I would read a paper and drive, and I can (even legally I think) but I am not going to. Not everyone has public or even group transportation methods, and they don't have this free time of a commute.
Next time your local government does something that adversely affects you and you feel it totally sucks, think about how that lack of interest among you and the community contributes to that. I'm not saying its all your fault or anything like that. But people who don't take an interest in the goings-on in their community usually end up living in a horrid city with the kind of government they deserve.
That scales for any size of community. From local city level to international level it is what you do with it.
The storyline is awesome, but it takes a LONG time to really get to know it. Not only that there is alot of lore that goes back to WCIII. If you played that you have a much greater understanding of the lore and events.
Actually there is lore all the way to Warcraft: Orcs Vs. Humans, aka WC1. But only if you play the Orc campaign since the events of the human one didn't happen before the beginning of WCII.
(Said as a Humvee falls out of a tree) Weird Al does a ironically good job of making the music industry look bad by putting out good music about them looking bad.
Is that Government at its finest? "You can pay us for the things we do for you, but you are not allowed to work here."
Just wondering do you have to fill out tax forms in the US since you have a SSN so they can not come back later and say you evaded paying taxes for those 15 years?

I vote for a punch card system, after its been encrypted and the unlabeled cards shuffled.
What part of human history suggests we are capable of governing ourselves with common sense.
Hunter-Gatherer social structures?
Most phones do have a vibrate function, maybe that's the app I want to see on the iphone.
They could even write it off as a real attack and release a *fix* a week later or so.
Moonwalk would require gravity, so we need to go back to the moon or modify it too a "marswalk"

No one in their right mind will say they are gonna stick with vista.

Leave it to Microsoft to break something and force the world to succumb to their will, again.
You need the one that doesn't tell you distances or names, just general time directions like "Its the road on the left 5 minutes past the other road"
Its because you can make a monitor for computer use and use the same lcd panels in a tv.
No, The Matrix was cloud computing.
Living in space with hover cars, like everyone assumed would be here by now in the '50s
Public Domain would have royalties of $0.00 so there would be nothing to cough up.
I've heard that a few grams of carbon injected into a polar bear at 100m/s can kill it instantly. . Way to dangerous to use in cars and vehicles.
A few grams of lead can be injected into most animals with the same effect, it just depends on your aim.

What happened to "The War on Wars", that one would make for excellent campaign buzz as it makes you think that they want peace.
Seeing this really just made me think of "Don't Download This Song" by Weird Al, and that was a clear mockery of the system.
5 years would be long enough for them to cancel the system publishing after it would be announced.

All rules can be broken with the right "skillset", not just business.
Wait I didn't realize slashdot was primarily news, the articles are just fluff. The comments are always a better read if you want to read a story.
