Sorry, couldn't resist, but it sounds like the codex of language starting with numbers and working up. Maybe it should be taken that way.
Un-natural languages don't sit with me well. Klingon, esperanto, etc just seem silly. All they can do is borrow words from each language. This would at least guarantee certain words translate exactly to certain languages.
I think it would be interesting to see everything translated through Chinese, since that is one of the more stateless languages. Of course it would be difficult to understand when translated to English (just go to Chinatown in cisco), but you'd get the gist of the conversation.
Japanese would be interesting as well. Like chinese, it conveys thought and emotion more efficiently than english. That and its grammar rules don't swing violently on whim.
Pluarality and conjucation could simply be translated by computer. We just need a universal rule set, not a universal language.
A little reminiscent of the ones the Dominion crews use in Star Trek DS9, don't cha think?
Hopefully without the headaches and nausea associated with the frequency those run at. I seem to recall only cardassians and Dominion Gengineered species can use them.
That and you'd get dizzy be seeing through the ship.
But it would be useful to have motion recognition/pattern recognition like they use at boeing...
I personally don't have a cell or a pager because I don't like to be in contact with people. I hate the fact that somebody can just ring me up. It's frustrating. I can afford a cell phone, but I just don't want one. My palm IIIx on the other hand....
I think that projections are even easier to look at than computer screens. The projections are generally bright, but they are dull enough as to not annoy the eyes. Although a flat tft display may have better resolution (and digital quality) I wouldn't want a flat panel for the reason that it is 1.5 times brighter than my monitor. I don't need that at all. It's painful enough looking at a monitor (I get fatigued by this easily) and I'd rather look at something that reflects light instead of creating it.
Obviously, the title of the book is a parody! It is not a parody of AOL per se, but a parody of their retarded little catchphrase. In part or in whole, this is a parody of the "you got mail" not AOL(tm).
I can see if aol would go after even AT&T for the "you have mail" if they had said "You've got mail" *and* just ripped off the WAV file. That much is obvious. They cannot, contest something that has prior art by saying "we copyrighted that". The prior art in this case is unix saying "you have mail" or "you have new mail" or "you have mail in/usr/spool/anrkngl" WHATEVER. This also strikes down to the heart of the matter of english words being copyrighted.. cough*windows*cough...
To think my company didn't call a product "***** for Windows" because M!cr0s0f7 told us we couldn't.
This screams stupidity yet again. Do we remember this?
1) Unix has said "You have mail" for a long time. 2) AOL has never gone after the people who parody them on The Simpsons, etc. 3) As usual in these cases (such as WB against their FANS), AOL is trying to sue someone for parody.
The problem isn't whether this woman meant it to cause harm to AOL or not, but whether AOL has a right to restrict the use of a phrase they don't even own! Since the words "mail" and "male" are completely different, and merely homonyms, this lends me to believe AOL's assertation will be this book serves to "confuse the public" or somesuch. Such confusion would be hard to find:
1) The book will be in the "self help" section. 2) Books about AOL are not. 3) Any 1st grader knows the difference between "mail" and "male"
To me this "small potatoes" bookwriter is not worth their time.

This is why I'm glad it will have a flexible output and fibre optic audio lines. (swweeeet) You can plug it into a pc monitor. you can plug it into a DTV.
Unfortunately, on tvs that have low resolution (which they have to at least cater to at first) even the psx2 won't be able to do much with a 4 way split. The major hook is internet connectivity. You'll probably be able to get 10/100baseT connectors and network up, with each user playing hidden from the others.
What's wrong with the DualShock? It combines a simple, ergonomic controller with 2 analog sticks, and dual-level stereo impact feedback? Did you try using dreamcast's controller? Try playing the X-Men V. Konami game with it. You'll feel its lack of respect for your hands after 5-10 minutes of play. They reason is they have a ridge running down the back pushing into your hand.
Their backend is going to be web-based, and they were planning on using linux to run the office, and not as a desktop system. The interface was user-side.
Last time I KP'ed was when I changed kernels and forgot to run lilo to update my boot map. I laughed at myself, rebooted, held left shift, and typed in "old"
Then I ran lilo and rebooted.
I've had sig11's in the past, but one was due to CAS latency in my ram (during compiles no less - mem intensive...) which was set wrong by the mobo dealer (it came placed in the motherboard, they should have tested everything, but that is an easy one to miss) The only other time I get sig11's is running buggy code, so I guess that's not the fault of linux, nor is it a KP, since it is caught.
At the buhl science center (which was in the northside of pittsburgh, a residential area) they had a rather large (15', can't remember the wrap numbers offhand) tesla coil. When they used to fire it in the 60s they would blank out tvs for about 5-10 blocks. They retired it until they got a faraday cage. The cage is NOT a perfect conductor. It is essentially heavy chicken wire. The thing is, no radiation escapes it because it's cylindrical in shape with copper floor. What this means is the potential of an arc hitting a specific location is greatly reduced by the even surface. They have no problems with firing it anymore, even though there is a computer lab one floor down.
That was in japan anyways, not us. People don't seem to understand this is the Japan date that is moved back. The US date will probably not be very affected by this.
I heard a similar story from a friend in the office here. The dude working at babbages told him that this machine was "sooo cool" and that it's going to kickass etc. He said, "microsoft is working with sega on it" and my friend said "why is that good?" The dude just said, "because it's microsoft." My friend said "well, at least I'll know why it crashes."
EVERYTHING else should be an optional plugin. I already have 2 perfectly good instant messaging clients right now, and I don't want Mo usurping them...
My thoughts exactly. I like micq for connecting to icq (their servers let me, and it's only "bad" if mickeysoft does it and adds its own ads) and probably wouldn't change a thing like that. IRC under Linux, at least for me, has been filled with frustration. Either use the non-windowed IRCII (bitchX etc.) or use a client like Zircon (which works, if you put an & after the command, and never background it by hand {silly tcl/tk goofs up this way, does it with ezppp too})
I'd like to have a modifiable MODULE (not the main code, and if it crashes, it crashes and naught else) that i can configure any which way.
I'm tired of the old Netscape locking up when the news reader can't connect to my news server (it will redline the cpu on "looking up host" and will not redraw screens) and it too should be a separate module. The only thing common should be the rendering code, and that should be tight and bug-free.

Isn't this the same as interlac?

Now that was a tad unnecessary..

Can't have them thinking that, can we?
Nooooo, don't let the kids think! We've kept them from thinking so far!
Not to mention the fact that they went blind.
I think that projections are even easier to look at than computer screens. The projections are generally bright, but they are dull enough as to not annoy the eyes.

Just try the 28 hour day!
oops, should have hit preview. I meant to say "trademarked" not "copyrighted"

Didn't they say sonic has modem play?

Luckily, most modern TVs have two inputs (in the mid-range sets, no less) and most VCRs have at least on set of inputs.
