I'd rather see the windows turn into a long and relatively high window running the length of the plane.
The CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario has a very thick glass for a floor over a small section so you can look strait down. You can walk over it safely with no problems, but it freaks the hell out of most people. When I went to visit it I had no problems but my 3 friends wouldn't go within a foot of the glass part of the floor. The vast majority of the other visitors reacted the same way, they'd lean over to take a quick look and then move away never setting foot on the glass.

Unfortunately it only applies to one person and must still be some distance away. While the head tracking and perspective changes shown can certainly be applied to some products, it's still very limited imo. This screen is transparent and I wonder about the possible applications as you can't set the focal distance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(eye) A young eye apparently takes 350ms to refocus, I can't say I'd want to use something like this even with head tracking for anything that may require constant switching between the transparent screen and scene behind. I'd love to know more about the possibility of changing the perceived focal distance and the effect of constantly switching between two distances for a length of time.
I can't see much use for an overlay unless there is a fixed viewpoint or the display is only used for information that does not need to be synced with what is behind it. Move your head a few centimeters and it'd throw it all askew.
The other problem I see with this, as someone mentioned glasses is the focal distance. The heads up displays and wearable computers, etc, that I've seen used mirrors and optics to achieve a further distance than trying to focus on the lens of your glasses.
I don't understand people wanting this and similar technology in a contact lens, we can already replace our original lenses (for reasons such as cataracts). Forget the contacts.
It looks to me that you're argument is based on the notion that the two goods A and B have no other cost associated with the production of said goods. Holding on to that, the only thing that separates the two goods must rely on scarcity? (supply and demand) to set the price. Even in that case, I am really curious as to how you can justify person A being paid more than person B...? Education? Experience? Being born in the right place? Cared for and raised by already wealthy individuals? Your claim and question that, person A's good is more valuable than person B's, have no bearing on their rate of pay. What is it that allows for one person to be entitled to more than another given the same effort put into it and ignoring the underlying costs which only affect the end price?
I find this terribly interesting and encourage anyone who has thoughts and or an opinion on this matter to reply and help clarify what I'm missing. Obviously I'm missing something because mrlibertarian is describing how things currently work, which the vast majority of the world population seem to agree with.
Sad but true, "An application developed using cross-platform widgets will, at best, work well on one platform, and more usually on no platforms." QFT, but as you mention the underlying philosophies are a stumbling block. Worse when you drop the idiosyncrasies of a given application which the developer makes work on one platform and then trying to replicate that on other platforms/widget sets. I wonder if it would even be possible to dream up a grand unified HIG which could at least try to mitigate the platform differences during the design phase.
He mentioned it was a "thought exercise", not that I RTFA. So I thought it would obviously be easier to build a structure that size in space to begin with, there's some potential for thinking about what exactly it would entail to be capable of constructing what he's suggesting. What infrastructure would we need? We can work constructively towards such a lofty goal and decide what aspect appear to hold the most near-term benefit and start working on them now.
You can also remap keys in windows using AutoHotKey. It's possible to change the keymappings directly and permanently without it, but this offers the opportunity to fix that nasty Caps Lock key as well as the Windows key, while still being able to turn it off anytime someone else wants to use your computer.
Alright, so in my mind at least, Apple is going to come out with bluetooth enabled ipods, the ones with screens, and ship them with mic built into the headphones and have it hook up to your phone or internet connected laptop. So you can dial and receive calls, but not much more than than from the ipod, remember Apple likes the simple functionality. The ipod won't care about how the call is being placed, TDMA, CDMA, Wifi, etc... It keeps Apple out of a really crappy market, the cell phone market, while letter them work with any carrier around the globe sans modifications or extra support.
I almost never see someone with an ipod that doesn't have a purse or backpack, so there is a place to store the unsightly phone, while you only have to use your ipod, which you always keep in reach. I mean, Come on, very little extra hardware, usefull functionality, no carrier contracts, no new phone rat race, etc...
Maybe there is some government contract involved for rolling out fiber around DC? Footing the bill for a good chunk of the line laying would certainly help.

I'll agree with you on the data cable, but I've had three Nokias and all use the same charger. I've also used the same charger on a multitude of other phones, many from other countries (I worked in a youth hostel). There were never any compatibility problems on that from in my experiences with Nokia phones.
I'd like to buy a song, and get the track from the album and a live recording or two. Maybe even a different mix of the song.
Selling me a song, and giving me a couple of versions of it is something I personally would be very interested in.
Even better would be if another band does a cover of the song, and I get both. Advertising for another band! I don't listen to much radio, and usually find new bands from some cover they did (usually when starting out) of a band that I already like.
So why doesn't the story posting mechanism simply not post a story until it has been approved by another editor. They don't have to read it all, or what-not, just give it a glance. I don't see all the stories posted on slashdot, (shit, does that mean I have a life... no.) I can't see how one editor (maybe with a life) could see and remember all the articles. Just having that glance by another person has the potential to cut down on the dupes by a fair amount without too much extra burden.
Go back and read the article. You have no idea what you are saying.
1) One of the Mac's processors was disabled 2) 195.3% advantage was on an MFLOP/MHz basis
That is how they are comparing the architechture of the chip and it's performance outside of a MHz pissing race. They are in the same ballpark now MHz wise so why shouldn't they take a look at how the actual chip performs. Not to mention how much more will likely come out of the chip with maturing compilers to take advantage of the arch.
Right, kids are taught that drugs are bad. Yet most people I know have a great time being stoned and laughing their asses off at the anti-drug propaganda.
It's great when police officers are educating people on popular methods of doing drugs, just last month there was a display with 2 police officers, just outside the metro (subway) that told me how to use certain devices for drug consumption, and the difference between locally grown pot and the imported stuff. Education? well I learned a lot. Certainly not that drugs are bad however.
I almost hate to say it, but in my opinion they end up promoting the stuff at least as much as they deter it's use. People will take things in whatever context they want. Put up an add about drugs or filesharing, and more people will think about it. The more people think about it, the more they can rationalise participating. So come on, educate the world to the dangers and all round badness that is file sharing. I'm curious to know how on the money I am.
