  4. Re:That's cute and everything.... on MINI-ITX and the Future of PC Case Design? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I expected crazy case designs when reading the summary, i.e. Non box shapes. However, I was very disappointed to see that cases have been more or less similar for the last 5 years.

    When do I get to see boards mounted inside of hollowed out encyclopedias?

  7. this may not be you on What's the Best Way To Get Web Content To My TV? · · Score: 1

    but I'm sure a lot of Slashdot readers have at least one old desktop around. All that is really required is a TV with a VGA input, and most new ones have an HDMI cable input as well. If you're lucky that old desktop already has an HDMI cable output on its video card, otherwise go with VGA or buy a cheap HDMI enabled video card. Having a separate media box is very convenient because you never have to disconnect it

    As for the couch sitting importance go for a decent Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
    If you get a cheapo, your experience will consist of writhing around the couch trying to get signal before you give up and find a surface closer to the reciever.

  10. The rotten apple in the bag on Univ. Help Desk Staffer Extorts Over Copyright Violations · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can anyone name a carreer field where corruption hasn't existed? Seems like there's always at least one guy(or girl) figuring out if it's profitable or not.

  11. Lord corporation and his end-user vassals on EU Wants To Redefine "Closed" As "Nearly Open" · · Score: 0

    The vast internet kingdom policed by the sheriff of Nautingham lawyers and Lord Bill gates extending his Feifs out to the money squandering corporations, enslaving the end-user poverty stricken vassals. But where is Robin Hood to be the great leveler?

  12. Re:It's always the hype problem. on IT Snake Oil — Six Tech Cure-Alls That Went Bunk · · Score: 0

    But, if you're looking for HAL, you have another 2001 years to wait. Nobody seriously is working toward that, except as a dream goal. Everybody wants a better prediction model for the stock market first.

    Computational Perception and Developmental Robotics are a strong undertone in computer engineering courses at ISU. I don't know about other schools, but a HAL like computer is much less than a "dream goal". I can say without a doubt that it something similar will be engineered in much less than 2001 years. Technological growth is speeding up nearly exponentially(steam engine, combustion engine, flight, electricity, moonwalk) I'm sure everyone has heard the spiel. http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~alexs/dissertation/dissertation.pdf Asst Professor at ISU, Alex Stoytchev's dissertation focuses specifically on building a system of robotic learning, commonly called "Developmental Robotics". While his robot only had the ability to categorize objects based on resonance sound and mass, it still shows that fundamental building blocks for a one day "HAL" are already in existence.

    Watch out 4chan

  14. Is this a Moral Conflict? on Advice On Creating an Open Source Textbook? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Wait I'm confused. Don't you want to make money off of this? If you're looking to to just contribute to society why not just post tutorials or build a wiki.

  15. regedit revolution against the redcoats on Windows 7 To Sell In UK For Half the US Price · · Score: 1

    I was able to install a Chinese version of Warcraft III, which I purchased from a non-blzzard online vendor for half the price, on my computer by just changing some language settings in my registry. This time ill just change my registry language settings from American to British when I upgrade.

  16. A different setting for the same plot on The Mindset of the Incoming College Freshmen · · Score: 1

    Even though every single one of those statements are true, there are still many variations of personality and character. It's just a different setting for the same plot. Much less than a mindset, more like meaningless ramble of facts.
