I'd like something like this just to take notes for me all day. It'll keep me from losing ideas. Of course, it will need some good recognition technology so that it knows what shouldn't go into the notes. Otherwise, I'll be turning in notes that go something like "Attach the embedded controller to the system using a standard--damn! that girl's got a nice ass! --interface protocol"
This could also allow the FSF to pull such tools as GCC, binutils, and all of the C development libraries, which would make it very difficult to develop software or run certain programs under SCO's version of Linux.
If it is, they'll be selling it in boxes out of 7-11.
What other celbrity products can they come up with next? Harrison Ford brand bull-whips? Tony Soprano automatic pistols? Michael Jackson -- never mind.
Now we know what he was drinking when he penned the scripts for episodes 1 and 2. It must have been a particularly strong batch when he created Jar Jar Binks.
I got laid off last year like several million other U.S. tech workers. I was able to find a new job in about four months. Nearly all of my co-workers who got laid off also found jobs within three to six months. Talking to others I've met this year, I've seen stories very similar to mine and my former co-workers.
The moral of the story: Yes, there is short term displacement and pain, partly attributed to off-shoring, but in an economy as innovative and dynamic as ours, those who want to work can almost always find work. It may take some personal adjustment, and you may have to make some dramatic changes in lifestyle, but in the end that's all just stuff, and you can live without most of it. There's a lot of work to be done, and in the end, there's probably enough to employ almost all of us, and a couple of million overseas.
How many people here have ever been subjected to a digital speedometer? They've only been put on a few cars in the past, and it seems that they're always eventually replaced with an analog dial. The reason of course, is that you can tell at a glance how fast you're going. With a digital readout, you have to actually read it.
You can get a similar effect by averaging several exposures from a single telescope. It helps to flatten out the logic noise that you get from a digital imager.
Another possibility would be to put some internet accessible telescopes in dark areas so those of us who live under heavy light polution can use them. I'd be willing to pay for a service like that.
Look, they've published his name, the name of his business, and the address of his web site. It took me one whois lookup to post it to Slashdot, and sometime next week, he'll probably get a little extra snail mail.
Do these guys realize what they're exposing themselves to? I'm sure it's good to publicize your business, but the receiving crowd is going to be exceptionally hostile.
Look, they even took liberties with the story when they made "The Ten Commandments" and no one complained about that. If you can get away with not following the Bible exactly, I think we can forgive a few liberties with LOTR.
Of course, Christians and Jews aren't nearly as fanatical as some of Tolkien's fans.

Better yet, what happens when you feel like destroying the computer. Will it self destruct, or act in self defense?

I call it working for a government agency. (Before you accuse me of trolling, I am working for a government agency.)

There's a couple of guys in suits and sunglasses who'd like to ask you about this post you made to Slashdot...
I've used it for software and hardware engineering applications both. I've also used it mock up Windows interfaces for presentations.
Only in Atlanta would an idea like, "Shoot it a bunch of times and see if it goes away" would such a solution be born.
Sounds a lot like something they'd think of in Arizona too.

There have been a lot of celebrity wines over the last couple of years. My favorites are from Mario Andretti. I tend to drink it too fast though...

I don't know if Mozilla did their research or not.

Just remember though, it's still illegal to use your hand-held cel-phone in the car.
This is almost to the point of creating a new class of criminals just because we don't have enough of the old ones.
Logitech makes a pen which records your notes as you write them. Product info can be found here.

If you're looking at paying a good chunk of money, you might try these guys. They make a 5 MPixel digital model for microscopes.

I prefer to think of it as killing two birds with one stone.
Sounds alright to me. They're the ones filling up MY real mail box. And I didn't sign up for their crap.

Or whether you need them or not.
It helps to read it out loud. Once your auditory center gets in on processing it, it's pretty easy.
