And how do you become evil? I taught my creature to eat people, I destroy entire villages, I set people on fire, fling them into mountains, sacrifice 'em all over the place, starve them to death and I'm a GOOD God?
Have you ever read the Bible? And you expect only that to make you evil? You've got to be a whole lot worse than that if you wanna come any where near being "evil." I mean...the Judeo-Christian god killed everything and everyone on the face of the earth (except 2 of each), burned cities to ashes...and he is considered a good god.
I mean seriously. You've got to do a better job, dude. After all, no one ever said it was easy to be the devil.
1.5Ghz. Period. Sure, we all know that the Thunderbird 1.33Ghz goes faster on non-optimized code. But when the average guy is buying his computer, he sees 166Mhz more for only $14, not to mention the Intel name.
more math?
how about 1500Mhz / $230 = 6.52Mhz/$
while AMD 1333Mhz / $216 = 6.17Mhz/$
hmm..the P4 has a higher Mhz/$ ratio. No really...you think after the average computer buyer is told this, he will still buy a AMD chip?
I know I know...other factors, but this is the basic math, and that's all Intel needs. Heck, they are Intel; in the PC market, they don't even (quite) need that.
you make a good point about the ram, but ram prices are kinda all over, so we will see about that. Point is 50% price cut would see a rather dramatic change in sales.
I was sitting around yesterday when someone mentioned that an email to someone bounced. I told him that the person they were trying to email does not check her email, to which the emailer explaimed "How the hell is that possible? Not use email?!?"
While I agree with you that advancements in technology will not make non-users of said technology less efficient, at the same point one must realize we are becoming increasingly electronically dependent to the extent of the popular assumption that because someone goes to college, she must use her email because it's so easy to check.
You use an organizer the way it's best used. As a tool, not as the way you keep track of your daily life. I personally don't write anything down. I do sometimes put things in outlook, only to never check it.
some people have a real use for them, but I feel it should not become the norm.
also, since when did a linux based PDA suddenly become the corporate, evil life-theatening killer on slashdot? jeez...you want freedom, then you want linux...
wait wait..64 bit processors? goddamn..I was just looking foward to 64bit grfx, and it turns out all they wanted to do was speed it up...when are they gonna figure out what linux users really want? 1.845E19 colors? yes please.
Want the real truth? Fat is he left them a copy of the source, but he would encode every single version of the software so that no one else could read it / compile it. Ah well..been using hotline since b16 (~Dec 96) and its too bad hl has turned out to be such a landfill of slow, ad hungry sites. But, what do you expect from windows users? (I am one said windows users...) Fact is on the mac, hl was friendly because the users were friendly. Once it got ported, sure the user base rockets, but the quality was shot in the leg. I attribute this to a different mindset found in windows users.
i still find hl a great app, but at this point using it is hopeless.
mm..the good old days...
I woulda checked out a linked page that fully demonstrates this problem, and there's no link? I mean, how am I supposed to believe this "hacker is gonna get you" jibber-jabber when all I get is a paragraph from an editor?
I know many people who would be hugely glad to have this exact device. option for keyboardless usage for nice websurfing, meanwhile keeping full laptop power. lcd touch screen is the future. I personally work on handwriting recognition, and having this system as a testing device would be priceless.
how could you argue that a wireless (via PCMCIA) webpad would not be cool? I mean really?
yay for cool stuff that will always cost too much!
Axctually, the blurb is quite accurate; if he had never done this work, the problem may not have been exposed and therefore it wouldn't really be a major problem...
makes perfect sense to me if you don't mind ignorance..(and I don't)
The new Clie doesn't seem to offer anything really new and must-have. I mean, who really wants to watch a 2-minute movie clip on their PDA? Not many...
it says 2 hours in the editors comment and 160 minutes in the poster's comment. that is not 2 minutes. (I know 2 hours doesn't make any sense, but thats what it says...)
hehe, dude...slow down a bit. Before they get X drivers going, they first needto figure out all the bugs for windows drivers. I read a review over at Toms about a tile based renderer, and they tend to have issues drawing some things due to programming style, etc. (someone said something about zbuffer, etc)
and then I realize the Vx is actually smaller and thinniner and I realize, as many have before me, the story posting process is rather..uh...fnargled...
OK, I am sitting here, looking at the visor page, and I am thinking nice toy. Then I look at the top of the page and I read "Visor Edge: proving thin is in." and I am thiking "thanks for reminding me that I am an overweight comp geek." I mean..is that bad marketing or what? Maybe they could do that on print but on the net? seriously..who do they think is gonna view their page more: supermodels or me?
thanks for the ego boost, Visor. sheesh
I mean..I'm right, right? You know what I'm talkin about. bah...

If I ever had a site featured on a Slashdot story, I would certainly hope someone would extend me the same courtesy.
unless you were running lots and lots of ads on your page, and in that case you would be quite happy that you are getting so many hits...till it crashes are you realize that you can't serve all those people your freesoftware, but thats still ok because the software is free and its no loss to you assuming you get the server back up before all those hits that caused the crash are evened out by the loss of hits from the server being down and so this is one big mess and why am I posting it?
This is great; finally we could run XFree86 via LINE. No more commercial X Servers. Not to mention the stability! I am so for this. For people running windows who need to develop (grpahical apps) remotely, this is such great news.
Offtopic, but while it is true in context voice recognition is the best approach, it would be possible to incrimentally analyze the sentence as it is being said, thus getting a rough guess at first to having it pretty much set before the last word is said. The last word would solely finish it off. It wouldn't be dead on voice translation, but at the end of the sentence, it would be "instanteneously" recognized.
This only works in the first generation of psx. (and I believe there may have been 10) anyhow, with 3 steps you make it sound easy, but its really not. the whole removing it while spinning issue is kinda a bummer.

ok, so the question is...how long till? or is it possible to get the code to run serverside and the display to show on the plugin in ie?
Frankly, I would like to be able to program something in a language that would run as a stand alone and as a web "applet."
Meanwhile, I am working in a lab at Brown producing state of the art hand writing recognition software, and every day we get yelled at by a lab member to make it do mathematical equations...mmm...I think maybe this would kinda make sense if you have a keyboard, cause then you could sit around in class and program..but otherwise...I don't thinks so

and will be better off for it.
Although I will cringe at the thought of slashdot being a chat room, as you have indicated.

I think so Brain, but how are we going to get a USB cable long enough to reach a satelite?
I believe you, but first show me the average linux user who would readily pay for msoffice.
and then I realize the Vx is actually smaller and thinniner and I realize, as many have before me, the story posting process is rather..uh...fnargled...
Well, I guess the story here is how thin the device is, not that there is yet another device out on the market.
