I used to carry one of those little spiral notebooks in my pocket, but the spirals always got squashed. Now I carry a Moleskine. It's a lot more rugged.
I did was pull the photos off of the memory chip, rather than send them to myself for $0.25
I moved to another state and wanted a new phone number. Verizon refused to give me the same plan with a new number. So I ended up going with a plan that cost the same but lacked several features, including ANY WAY of getting the photos off my phone. So suddenly the extra $x I spent on the camera half of the camera phone became a waste.
As soon as my contract was up I moved to a carrier without a contract.
In addition to reading the article, I downloaded the source and compiled it. The text in the GUI is STILL not anti-aliased. It's just as ugly as Emacs 21.
The announcement would likely get MORE response if it had been on an OSDL/Linux Foundation web page and signed by all of the major Linux players, rather than on a page titled "linux kernel monkey log".
That said, I want Linux to succeed very much, and I think this is a good direction to take things.
Industry support? Who's the biggest player in the industry?
Steve Jobs:
"...all iPods play music that is free of any DRM and encoded in "open" licensable formats such as MP3 and AAC."
Jobs doesn't believe that his Ipods, which are designed to play openly licensable audio formats, need to be able to play Ogg Vorbis or Flac formats (the most open possible formats). Why? Because those formats don't have any support.
Why is this an important step for Linux? Because CNR is the only legal way for Linux users to install DVD, WMV, MP3, and Sorenson codecs.
I already have all that stuff, but I'm breaking the DMCA and various patents. I could be thrown in jail.
Even audio CDs don't last more than a couple of years
Audio CDs are pressed. CDRs are burnt. It is my understanding that the chemicals in a CDR can degrade over time, but the pressed CD's will last forever as long as you don't scratch it.
...this cheap one with no known software or applications...
They have a list of possible programs, most of which already exist: Web browser, E-book reader, Instant messaging, Word processor, PDF viewer, Image viewer, Media player, Music player, Vector drawing program, Text editor, Calculator, Dictionary, terminal emulator, a Python Environment.
Those specs arn't much worse than the old hand-me-down laptop I use when I'm on the road. I would like to buy one of these to replace my current laptop when it dies.
And we know from experience that 1-in-200 is in the right ballpark. 2 failures in 114 missions. So for the new vehicles, we can expect about 2 in 1140.

I blame bulky MS-Word documents. If everyone used gzipped, utf-8 text files, you could save fifty terabytes right there.

I read an advance copy of Anathem last weekend. I can say that it's one of Stephenson's best novels to date.
I would add: An electric battery with an energy density comparable to gasoline.
yes, but where will you get the antimatter?

"Does anyone know a utility/website for detecting and cleaning bots?"
1) Pop in a linux live cd. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
2) Reinstall your OS of choice.
Guaranteed to clean up 100% of all bots.
Repeat every year or so.

I blame the victims.

Yeah.
