Whatever happened to the x.y.z numbering scheme, when y is even it's stable, when it's odd is development.. now you have x.y.z-pre-A, etc, etc. What's the point?
Well there's another way, DON'T PISS PEOPLE OFF, if people aren't pissed off, they don't become extrimists. Too bad Bush isn't willing to consider this idea.
What has the world become! An AOL user knows more about the internet infrastructure than we do! (See link from parent post, Sean Gorman's email is @aol.com).
His newsgroup postings doesn't suggest he likes dumb authority figures either, ooo the Google results (and this slashdot thread) will probably disappear next week, along with the existence of Sean Gorman..
I guess mouse gestures will be there with IE 6.5 or IE 7.0.. Opera was the 1st implementator in the browser world, there's a plugin for Mozilla and it's a great feature. But MS has a dillema: to use mouse gestures a user has to read the documentation and memorize what action does what, ( it's a power user tool), but I think reading the docs and memorizing cryptic mouse movements is a bit too much to ask from the average IE user!
Hmm the idea is crazy enough, it might work.. who knows, maybe you'll see AOL's balancesheet for 2004 and under expenses it says "Spam prevention measures... $ 10,000", but that's not R&D budget for Bayesian filtering technology, instead money to fund a unit of highly trained Anti-Spammer Commandos with H&K MP5s, night vision and middle-of-the-night incursions. Ah, that would be a cool job to have.:)
Yeah, interestingly it consisted of numbers that was already translated elsewhere in the message. They could've added 1, 5 and 8 into the mix to try to save their fax machine's life.
Well, his words certainly shows how he feels - "the USA is drifting further away from the real world", and what does that really mean, that this new God is going to help the evils (these days that's everybody other than the Americans, the US itself is never evil) against the USA, and so they should control it. How apt, he's saying America should control not only technology, but "God" himself.
Well, why isn't it? is it a hoax, does it really print or is the Tomshardware review gonna tell us how much of a bitch it is to use but you're not mentioning it, Mr. "ed"?
Until then I'll just ignore ed's comment, and say, this will probably be the next thing after Palm Pilots that will be added to standard management's attire.. but how fucking annoying, now they'll put every little thing in print.. I can just imagine it.. PHB scribbles something with graffiti, taps the screen a few times to get Bluetooth working, oh wait, turn on the printer to get its Bluetooth in listening mode (hopefully it still has enough ink), alright, tap "Transfer Data", and then rubs the printer over a piece of paper to produce a note to remind you about the TPS reports, meanwhile the Post-It pad and pen gather dust in his drawers.
Well, if you're going to go Linux, ALSA supports multiple sound cards pretty nicely, just tell XMMS (or whatever media player it will be) to use the different/dev/ devices (use devfsd). My first though was an implementation in Windows, Winamp also offers you the choice which soundcard you want to use, although one has to wonder about the IRQ hell of 6 of them in the same computer!
VNC wouldn't be such a good idea, because AFAIK it grabs the pointer so you'll probably end up with a situation where 2 or more people in different rooms wrestle for control of the pointer. A thin X display that connects to the server would work ok, although that would mean 6 computers in 6 different rooms, and when you already have that, it'd probably be wiser to have a "1 MP3-fileserver and 6 clients that draw MP3s across the ethernet" setup. Or you can just use SSH (or even telnet) to connect to the server and let them use mp3blaster, a text-based interface. Yeah, ugly, you can put it to the bottom of your list. But if the 6 clients need 6 "real" computers, it'll be so much waste - with SSH you can connect from a Palm Pilot, but then you'll need 802.11b for significant distances, and you can only get that from high end Palms..
But oh, depending on how long the VGA cable must be, you can always have 2 computers, each with 1xAGP, 2xPCI graphic cards and 3xPCI sound cards, and one of them as an NFS server for the other.. or even use the on-board sound. That should be easier to set-up, IMO.
Anyway, have a lot of fun, IMO you should document the process with lots of pics and put it up on a server, you can then wear the proud tag of "I've been slashdotted".
Hmm hasn't anyone patented a zero-click buying technology yet? It should be pretty simple using JavaScript's onmouseover event, and if you're afraid someone might accidentally trigger it because their cursor accidentally flew over the hotspot, JS also has a timer/wait event.
Imagine that, no clicking required. "Move your cursor over this surface to purchase this item". Someone patent this before Jeff Bezos does.
The 21st century is not PaxAsia. It is PaxAmericana. The hordes of immigrants flooding into this country to get the hell out of Asia should have been a big hint.
Gee whiz, what a grand conclusion from a simplistic argument. I wonder why people still find USA attractive, I come from the world's largest Muslim country (not Muslim myself), and I wouldn't want to go to a country where I would immediately be seen as a suspect terrorist and where your Agent Smiths can arrest me for just because I'm foreign. I don't even think they'll let me in if I wanted to visit the goddamn country. The same fate is suffered by a lot of students and scientists who study in the US and had helped the US to be the great technological nation that it currently is. Here's the article which mentions that fact, but I don't think you'd be able to read it - it's in German and you don't seem like someone who'd learn a foreign language.
That seems to be only a small, unimportant part of the US's big problem. Afghanistan is going to hell again, Iraq is still in chaos, and billions of your taxpayer money is being used in trying to stop that chaos, chaos which Bush created in hopes of rewards that he isn't going to share with you, because they're all going into his and his friend's and family's pockets.
People keep making fun of the pointing action as if it would be like holding a gun, but I don't think there's the need to do that. You can just hold it normally, but in the direction you want and the built-in compass and positioning technology determine your location and direction. It could be done as discreetly as in this picture. Besides, if you hold it like a gun, how can you see the screen?
IMO it'll be a pretty awesome technology, and considering its similarity to tricorders, maybe someone had the idea from watching Star Trek?

And you might as well make 2 versions: 2.6 Full Speed and 2.6 High Speed!
I'm aware of the differences, that's why I said "sort of".

They change the words and no one catches it..

You read the article? It being a court ruling? Which is in PDF?

Aah, copied and pasted from IMDB's Quotes from Con Air
What she said was probably done in a George Lucas cop-out press release style. "I've always planned 6 episodes, not 9, not 3, but 6.".
"I know the examples aren't ironic, that's the irony; the song itself."

Please choose a better name.. Zynot sounds like "snot" and a word with a "not" as an ending brings negative connotations.
How old is this Daniel Robbins guy anyway? He acts like an obnoxious brat. Well, typical geek.

What a coincidince that the guy building the affordable cruise missile is also from New Zealand. Hmmm...
:P
Better tell Rumsie to send them a couple of complimentary cruise missiles.
Legalize Stupidity alright, because at the moment SCO is breaking the law with copious amounts of it.
Beowulf Clusters imagining me? Sounds like The Matrix. :)
Try here? :)
