This isn't a dupe, but a mention of this band has appeared on slashdot before. I thought I remembered hearing about this band over the summer. Here's the link to the original comment, with props. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=66547&cid=6121 765
It's fun to see Amazon try and talk about how difficult it would be to implement taxes for all states, when it's already doing it for Target and Toys 'R Us.
I understood this sentence at the first "it".
It was a little vague by the second "it".
By the third "it" I was confused.
At the fourth "it" in it it was a little confusing what part of it "it" was referring to
Nice concept, but I wouldn't want to use it in a bus or such. It real life it would crave some sort of gyro to detect movement. Imagine a bus rounding a corner and the text compensating by scrolling.
How about an easier solution than the one you describe? Perhaps there could be a button on the device that "unlocks" the screen only while it is being pressed. With this you could just press the button, briefly scroll and release the button, locking the screen. This would prevent a lot of the problems of a bouncing bus while still allowing the basic concept to be used.
Who cares how much hype there is, illegal is illegal....
I have no beef with after its release. People are going to see a movie for the effect whether they get a pirated version or not, in almost every case I know of (as far as) movie piracy.
Not to be a troll, but you do notice you contradict yourself, right?
What you have described is a vision of cyberpunk writer William Gibson. In Idoru, Gibson predicts a free floating network, on top of but seperate from the traditional net.
In Gibson's version the net, called "Walled City", is a structure that is created via distributed processing. Walled City is a culture and center of learning all its own; a network of geeks, techs, and general malcontents escaping from the confines of a capitalist society gone wrong. One character, raised in a world of the corporate dominate web, asks, "What's Walled City's address?"
It has already been concluded by TimeCube.com in an exhaustive scientific process that there are, in fact, four dimensions. The link simply points to a rehash of the cube's pioneering work.
There is a tendency here on/. to confuse megabits and megabytes...
Which one is this?
Ten megabits blows DSL out of the water but ten megabytes utterly destroys it. For those of you going "huh", a byte is composed of 8 bits. Thus 10 MB would be the same as 80 Mb. Please correct the front page if this turns out to be megabits once the page is reachable again.

Again, on a practical note, I find it silly that we keep looking towards these god-awful solutions when missing simple ones.... Why is it we don't have a nationally available, publically accessible, instantly updated, and governmentally regulated database of all currently wanted criminals - just their names and maybe a short description?... I am talking about people with out standing felony warrants, INS issues etc?
It seems to me that we would be much better asking each passenger for his or her name, two forms of ID, and to submit to an instant check for felony warrants and outstanding arrest warrants for INS or other issues. If you fail, no plane ticket.
Allow me to point out the obvious: the terrorists of 9/11 were NOT wanted. They would NOT be in the database of oustanding felony warrants and INS issues. This simple fact is what creates the need for the somplex, "god-awful solutions" that you think are worthless.
Sun runs cars? I thought they only did servers and that Java stuff. I wonder if they can port this stuff to lawnmowers. I hope Microsoft doesn't get wind of this.....
Adding hyper-local information (like individuals' landmarks) to freely available online databases of GIS information will keep making the world a bit smaller.
Individuals' landmarks? Does this mean that the exact location of the hairy mole on my left buttock will show up online? Oh Brave New World! Vive le Linux!
Plastic will remain open, serving up some user generated content, which is apparently the cheapest way to operate on the net.
Funny that Slashdot should mention this. If it wasn't for all the articles we submit and the twelve page anti-Katz rants we post, Taco would have been flipping burgers by now.:)

This just proves the old saying:

We'll see about that michael... we'll just see about that.
Definitely a just punishment in this case, though.

We'll see about that, Timothy. We'll just see.... ;-)

Uh oh... Looks like someone's server just got burninated!
... intelligence reports that the Chinese are developing a new, high tech armor code-named "Redenbaucher"

I always thought that gnuCash should be renamed "G-Money"

I felt a disturbance in the force as if all of parksabers.com's 56 kilobits of uplink all screamed at once and then died out.
Either Katz is starting to use the royal we by the end of that sentence or he spelled "me" in a funny way. ;-)

"It has no address."
is the death shriek of an innocent server running Apache on a PII 450 somewhere in central Colorado... ;)

Oh wait.
I hate to sound like a dolt as well, but why is THIS one above rated "funny"
When a billion dollar gizmo goes splat will be that a GPS receiver from Europe failed to "convert seconds properly from the Metric System"
