The great part about this is that you can have your specific vision programmed into the computer. The interface can then work to maximize your viewing ability by knowing where your blind spots and the like are. Since it will be a direct to retina mapping, it should be able to modify it to seem like real world. This would cut down on monitor eyestrain.
There are failsafes to protect the eyes from damage, but with lasers you never know. Hopefully the odds will cut down to those of dying in a traffic accident or better; though if a regent was willing to go through with it, it must be pretty safe.
Their goal is to eventually have it head-mountable. If not as unnoticeable as Mann's glasses, or the microoptical's, it will probably get small enough to wear without extra support. I can almost guarantee that eventually it will get unnoticeably small.
I was going to point out something like this too. Glad I read down.
For all we know, the planets were captured; the near-star jupiter mass formed from the star; any number of other things. It's bad possibility to invalidate a theory without something to replace it. It's good however, to go about replacing a theory in light of an oddity. It's no suprise that one of the first planetary systems we found would be composed of large masses.
This is great! It takes huge sales such as this to get the oem's attention to write device drivers. The installation is more ``difficult'' than windows, but it can be done on all of the computers at once. Glad to see the stability sold. Hopefully within a couple of years he'll do this for the clients as well, when linux's client ability equals its server ability.
By definition, people one IQ point above the mean are in the minority as well.
Genius comes in spurts. Even the most idiotic retarded person can make something wonderful/unique (there's a musician, can't remember his name though.), and some of the most brilliant people in the world drop out and onto the street.
Yeah. I've been on #windows, or whatever it was, a few times, but very few were willing to help, though a few gave their best guesses.
OTOH, I also went to MS's news group server, and was actually able to help someone add an additional ``zone'' to iexplorer via the registry. Helping others is just like the philosophy behind OSS. Those you aid today might be able to aid you tomorrow.
Since I'm no longer a newbie (2 years from learning that there is an alternative besides the mac or my very old commodore to self-compiling linux kernels and glibc), I've mentioned linux to some of my friends. When I don't have time to help them install or get used to the system, I tell them to wait awhile until it gets more mainstream easy. The surest way to turn someone off of something is to drop the entire thing into their laps and then not help them or tell them how they'll benefit.
As a former newbie, the trick to learning linux is to ask someone who's part of the linux community, but is also your friend. Asking the people on irc, or iva an email list, is not necessarily the best way to do things.
Ditto. I've never received email from them. If you make a mistake and forget to uncheck a box, be courageous enough to take the liability for the consequences, don't try to blame someone else.
This is where Gates is wrong. OSS isn't a market, it's a method of developing applications. If the developer feels that a product/(the developer) will benefit more from OSS'ng an app, that app will be OSS'd. If the developer doesn't, it won't. For apps that usually don't scrathc an itch of a programmer though, CSS can be very important, as the software wouldn't exist otherwise. Css can also help add new features faster to a product that otherwise would happen, because the OSS developer/s don't have as many uses for a product as a 10-100 times larger and more diverse population does; the software will also have more and deeper bugs, but that's a side-effect. Different paradigms for different people.
But.. But.... Not side-effects!

paraphrase: ``...great programmers know when to reuse code...'' or something like that.
That doesn't make it worthless. $20 Million isn't too shabby compared to what can be done with it. There's no reason to kill a fly with a cannonball. WG donates to other organizations as well, it's not like this is it.
While I may be running a particular app in 2038, I seriously doubt i'll be running NT v4.0, or my current linux which only does 32bit, or even a 32-bit cpu.
The majority of the phylum from the cambrian era are extinct. Sometimes life doesn't adapt, sometimes it just dies... because other life has adapt faster than it could.
Stating the same thing?

Yes, but think of the incidental benefits of making flying fish. The gene therapy for blind people, the new compression algorithm for highly randomized data, etc.... Doing things every which way you can, whether easy or hard, smart or stupid, increases human knowledge beyond the immediate goal/outcome.
Darn it! It's the jerks of the world that are bad for me, not ``ourselves''. You may as well say it's the eventual nova of the sun that's bad for us. It's not even the jerks who are bad for me, it's the things that occur that have a negative effect on me.
Yes, I'm just a part of the universe. But, as the Black Hole has the ability and ``right'' to suck me into it, I have the ``right'', if not ability, to obliterate anything and everything. It's not about ``nature'', it's about the universe, which I am an expression of.
No, it's not even about the universe. It's about nothing, or possibly something. whatever....
All of the insects would move off of farmer Dan's GM'd crop onto farmer Al's non-GM'd crop. This would cause a huge blight on Al's crops, and force him to buy GM'd seed from the same manufacturer as Dan does. Doesn't this seem a little market manipulative/blackmailish to you?

Like the *BSD's, Linux's kernel's get split on ports, until they can be merged with the main kernel tree.

It's not MIT, it's UW. Steve Mann has a neat ``mediated reality'' setup with his glasses. The incoming is fully computer mediated. wearcomp.org

Awesome!!! The best thing that could have happened to the project for funding purposes. Get a board member with a vested interest.
I've seen this before off of the wearable computing list (wearables.blu.org). This will be an awesome thing to have when it's cut down to size.

We're part of nature, how can we possibly go against nature's ``grain''? Maybe it's other parts of nature going against our part of nature's grain?
Other than that, your comments are probably beneficial for the overall fitness of the human species.
