Do you ever scribble anything besides text? Say, diagrams, pictures, markings on your text? These are kinda hard to do with a keyboard. Ok, you have your mouse. But wouldn't a pen and paper interface be nice?
You can go longer than 3000 miles without an oil change. Consumer Reports investigated this and found 5000 to be just fine. Of course, Jiffy Lube will never tell you that.
Yeah, he did some Senate hearings a couple of years back, where he invited some key players, including Shawn Fanning to speak their views. At one point, someone asked the Senator how he would feel if people traded his music online. He replied that he'd really like that.
If you want a really clean room, you should ask your girlfriend for advice, rather than Slashdot. If you don't have a girlfriend, one of your friends might have one. Check around.
So what do you want to do, anyway? Fab some chips?
There are expensive high-end graphics cards because people want them.
The more money people pour into the market, the faster it will advance, and the better the cards you'll see.
Now, here's the best part: You can buy an amazing value-line or 6-month-old card for a trifle, thanks partly to the drooling game fanatics who absolutely need those extra few frames per second and will pay whatever it takes.
Look at other markets; they're really not much different. Pentium 4 2.8 is about $500. Celeron 2.0 is about $110.
How different are they really?
Have you ever paid $2000+ for a CD player? Many hi-fi people do.
People's power supply needs vary these days. People tend to use more power these days.
So, for a one-size-fits-all solution, you'd want this to handle about 400 watts. And I wonder if the monitor has enough ventilation for that.
On the other hand, going very low power gives you some leeway. With Mini-itx, you can get 500mhz with absolutely no fans if you buy a case that comes with an external, fanless PSU.
But I have a patent on the creative use a system to demonstrate its foolishness, sometimes involving media such as plastic or monitors or maybe optical drives or some kind of storage, well anyway, there's somebody somewhere doing something.
I just finished Kindergarten, where we learned our ABC's, and I've invented an alphabet that can be read 7 times as fast, with only one third the effort. Why didn't some PhD come up with this before? Oh well. I don't remember what my question was, but just post this, ok?
Don't diss all banner ads. They're good. They pay for what you read on the Internet. They pay for servers and bandwidth and all sorts of things. Good netizens will occasionally click on one that is truly interesting.
However, these are bad (and you will not catch me clicking on them): Banner ads that flash, move, or otherwise make it hard to read the text below. Any ad that tries to look like a system message. Ads that take up too much space. Ads that are deceptive in any way.
Really, really bad: Pop-ups. Pop-ups are evil. Nothing more to say.

Yeah, when I'm in the mood for a good chuckle, I'll switch over to Coast to Coast and listen for a while.

Yeah, I found it strange that my Honda Civic's manual said 7,500, but the Honda dealer (who was in the oil change business) said 3,000.

I'd like to see the software:
if (!PaymentReceived(WiretappingAgency)) {
SendBill(Customer);
}
To make a difference, you're going to have to annoy somebody. Annoy them enough, and the message might actually get back to the makers.
It's bigger than all my keys put together. It's kinda cool, but why not describe things accurately?
No. It took four years to brute force a key. Why would they worry about that? Just use a bigger key.
It would actually be nice to have something that's somewhat private like a phone call, but more convenient. Oh well.

The more bloated the agreement is, the more Slashdotters will want to see how ridiculous it is.
So, from (number of people) * (size of agreement), they have an O(n^2) bandwidth cost to their site.
How is a question about the headline off-topic?
How does one "GPL'd" a Java implementation? What we could really use under the GPL is a good grammar checker.

I believe the newer codec is really called DivX :-), or something like that. Unless it has been changed. So yes, and no.
A couple of obstacles:
People's power supply needs vary these days.
People tend to use more power these days.

All I had to do was rip out the power supply, and the thing hasn't made a peep since.
Yeah, I always find it useful when the headlines define the unusual terms they use. Or rather, I would find it useful if they did.

Then again, these will probably be the biggest costs:
1) Cost of fines after judge awards huge sum to the MPAA because you used technology to provide a new service to customers without their blessing.
2) Cost of attorneys.
MP3.com was fined exhorbitant amounts for letting people listen to their own music.
Found a bag of M&M's the other day that had been chewed into. Finally caught the mouse, though.
But I can see how a gesture based UI would have made the bag easier to get into...

The author will kindly pay up.
Dear Slashdot,
I just finished Kindergarten, where we learned our ABC's, and I've invented an alphabet that can be read 7 times as fast, with only one third the effort. Why didn't some PhD come up with this before? Oh well. I don't remember what my question was, but just post this, ok?
