One of my old room mates started a online comic strip nothing nice to say. I have been amazed by the huge response he has received from people since it went online. Highly recomended to anyone interested in DIY comics from the little man (tm)
I have yet to read a Katz review on something that does not use/abuse the word geek. I would block all Katz articles, but I have a weird sense of morbid curiosity to read it and wince in pain.
This is just the natural progression of technology. It first starts out to "help" everyone, then and only after everyone is consumed by it do people worry about the bad effects of it.
I assume that poeple will just beef up their security, as infuenced by the media, thousands of products "security" products will flood the market to conter the original technology and eventualy people will forget about the original problem, being concerned by the newest "security" problem at that time.
Personaly, I would prefer if everyone was just plain responsible for their actions, and not need a scapegoat.
Why does this come to a surprise to everyone, everything up in space has a intended lifespan, MIR has far out lived its expectations. Its actualy pretty remarkable engineering, look how long it too america to finaly get a space station into orbit. I respect NASA, but i wish they would actualy get going and quit stalling.
here is a page that has all kinds of information on hacking the jukebox to put in a bigger hard drive(20 gig!), and a bunch of other hacks to make it a little more fun. includes a bunch of pictures of all the parts inside and videos how to dismantle it
Y2K
--> we still haven't finished this one, the end could come, just give it time......
End of Internet (ongoing)
--> bah! who needs the internet, when i was young all i had to play with was coal.
End of Usenet (bandwidth)
--> lets get together a bunch of spammers and give them forums to post to. that will make everyone want to post.
End of Email (UUCP routing map complexities)
--> email? never heard of it, if i want to send a letter to tom , i will write the thing, lick a stamp and send the thing myself, i dont need no fancy 'puter for that.
End of Movies (videotape)
--> why would i go the the theater if i can download the movie a week before it is released.
End of VHS (Betamax quality)
--> DVD, i need not say more.
End of Movie Theaters (TV)
--> they are too expensive, back in my day, it only cost 5 cents, who is willing to pay $8 and up for something they can download,.... it's good to be 31137.
...and you have have five competing platforms, six when you count the Linux-based Indrema.
there have always been atleast 6 systems around at once; mid 90's: nintendo, juaguar, turbo gfx, playstation, sega saturn, sega cd..... all at the same time.
only 2-3 systems hit the mainstream, the rest are just forgot. the same will happen now.
Would it be possible to connect a third arm and train the brain to use that? I can think of many fields that would find this useful.
Also the article does not say how it is powered, if you have to have an extention cord draging behind you, its not quite practicle.
put your faith in human ingenuity. If the rate of progress doesn't slow, we'll reach these ultimate physical limits in just two hundred years' time
Moore's law only works on the condition that society does not collapse any time soon,
if people are going to be messing with nuclear and black hole computers, we probly wont be around long enough to play with these hot toys
still i wouldn't mind my little own black hole,....
and i though my tower took up a lot of energy....

what kind of interest does this article get? I would hope it would get at least 5% compound interest anually.
