This reminds me of that dilbert strip where Dilbert says that if they build their code perfectly the first time around they would make 10% in return in investment, but they can make 40% back if they make something cheap that requires paid updates. Getting back on topic though, I think there are some models where you can install custom firmware that might support ipv6. I don't know enough about ipv6 to tell you if it's going to be a software or hardware issue, but any time that there's a major upgrade in the infrastructure of -anything- you're pretty much required to buy new hardware. Think of it when we'll transition from DOCSIS 2 to DOCSIS 3. You won't be able to reach the speeds of a DOCSIS 3 with a DOCSIS 2, it's only natural to upgrade. Though, routers tend to only last a few years anyways so it's not that big of a deal. I, myself am a netgear fan after having so much trouble with linksys in the past, but I'm going to be stuck buying a IPV6 router soon since my ISP is offering their consumers to do the switch right now. I'm not going to do it until websites are fully supporting it, I know my website doesn't support it yet (though I hope it will be supported by next month) so anyone with IPV6 might not be able to access it or much of the web elsewhere, at least that's what I hear =/
At this point, anything that has hydrogen in it or can turn into hydrogen somehow can be used as fuel these days but for what purpose was this research made for? The government already stated that they don't want an alternative fuel to be crop-related so there's not going to be any mass-market for this unless they plan on designing a Popeye mech. It won't be long before we struggle for food worldwide without innovating new ways (redundant much?) to mass-produce crops. Pigs will probably have to fly in a floating pig pen because there won't be much room to breed and eat them, and cows will have to live on the moon. Of course I'm joking and I sure hope Oak-ridge is also joking about using Spinach as fuel. They need to focus on fusion like they used to before Clinton canned their fusion project (unless they are researching it now)
Sure, it cost about $700 + $100 in extra fees (thanks verizon for cheating my step-dad for paying that much for nothing), but the tablet itself seems to work fine, so long as you don't install more than 30apps on it. I had to format it once because I had too many apps and it was lagging to the very end, and I have roughly 20~ish downloaded apps on top of my pre-bundled apps and it's starting to do it again. Despite this, it does what it needs to do unless you want to use the GPS... Man, I almost forgot about the GPS problem. If you have your tablet on for too long your GPS won't work and you'll have to restart the system which can sometimes take a whopping 15mins depending on how many apps you have (currently 4mins for me). I guess I am suffering from early adopter's denial:/
There probably won't be a Honeycomb distro for this unit either since Samsung is terrible at providing updates and there's none available on the dev site.
Time travel means nothing if you don't have Arnold. But then again, he wasn't too good at solving problems in real life, but he did do good in movies. I hope to see the evolution of the internet for robots:D
The irony is that the early creation of the internet was created by government. It's easy enough to send out a protest movement word for word if you have enough time to prepare but at the same time such a protest may not be backed up by other countries if your own government fought back. The internet allows everyone in the world who's connected to the WWW to know what's going on and people worldwide get to see what each others reaction is. With the internet, all it takes is one rebel to create an army but at the end of the day, it may have been your generation who voted for that government, so it is you to blame as well as the others in your country.
Not allowing the military in space is annoying, I mean seriously. How are you going to defend the country without space sharks with freakin lasers attached to their heads?
true, but taxes keep increasing for no other reason but greed. a business cant grow too well in those conditions so outsourcing is sometimes the only solution. Take a web design firm for example... Have you ever tried to go on craigslist and recruit a client from there? It's impossible. The consumer doesn't know the difference between a website made in india and a professional website built in the states and can cost them a pretty penny in sales and value for the future but what matters most to them is right now. So instead of giving you $5,000 for a basic website, they pay an indian $80 to get a rehashed template at 8cents an hour. Now that american web design firm is hurting so they start outsourcing for 15cents an hour and charge a normal amount. It's not just a simple help desk job, they are trained for just about anything over there, even spam registration lol
You have no idea. They are all over California and it's overpriced takeout at a restaurant. I've seen some Asians but they weren't Japanese even though their theme is Japanese. I see this a lot in fast food places where they get an Asian to pretend that they are of that race so people feel like it's more authentic. Let me ask you something, what if the next time you went to a Persian restaurant and noticed that the waiter was actually Mexican trying to look Persian? There's a sense of hilarity and obscurity with this scenario and I for one giggle and die a little inside when it happens.
(offtopic) And the family guy star wars movies, and spaceballs. Matrix 2 and 3 weren't that bad IMO but I only watched them once unlike most other cyberpunk films I've watched which were 5-8 times each.
Very true, though I believe 3D should be more focused towards games right now since 3D games can do really well with it. Think about PS Move or Kinect with 3D, it would give games a better sense of depth. The current problem that I found while playing Kinect games is that you can't really tell what is coming up and have proper reaction for it. Like that ball game on kinect adventures? Well, there's also the terrible physics implemented in the game but that's beside the point. Though, holography would be amazing in both games and movies alike. I don't care if I have to buy layered screens and a projector instead of waiting for that "reflect off of floating matter" crap, that shit is cool!
In other words, register with websites using your lame hotmail account and communicate with people using gmail. Works for me, except hotmail tends to block a lot of confirmation emails so it has to be two gmail accounts instead of hotmail / gmail:/
I didn't read my first sentence while revising (strange I know right?) I didn't mean that geolocate you without permission or cross-referencing would be a good thing. I meant the complete opposite and getting some technical specs like browser info, if javascript is installed, etc... That shouldn't be a problem for anyone realistically if it's kept anonymous.
Getting some of your info tracked is not all bad. I could see where it leaves technical specs of your computer and begins to geolocate you without your permission or cross-reference you with social networks etc... Buut, at the same time none of us likes to see advertisements that flash telling you to punch a monkey after taking some Viagra. In an ideal world, you would see LESS advertisements if advertisement blockers didn't exist, and you would see more relevant ads that would benefit you from clicking it by having your information tracked. However, this is in an ideal world and it just doesn't work in this world.
Personally, I have ABP installed and if it's a website I support ie: Slashdot, I'll disable ABP. I may not click on the ads but just viewing them somehow gives back a little bit.
Slashdot Mirror
We're talking about government spending here, triple that amount and we're starting to get a closer look to the real cost of this project xD

Clearly they were hoping that reverse psychology would work.
You should consider registering to /. if you're going to be making those silly remarks 3
The 3 is suppose to be a heart. i forgot to disable html for my post so please don't take it the wrong way

Yo momma's so fat, that when the google street car passes by her, they superimpose a target sign thinking it's a target store.

Great, now I have to go listen to some Touhou. I bet you that's censored in China as well.
fucking magnets, it even helps us learn better and yet we don't know how they work.

I'm afraid I can't let you do that. You can only travel 30 miles on a charge, your work is 31 miles. Tough luck! (lol kidding but sadly also not)

ABP is your friend in this case :)

I don't get how they got an animal in there, but a party's a party!
They should have made the kills witch for Java, and while we're at it plugins-container.exe ;)
