Oh ya... SiPix. I could see the Pix part in the picture and did a google search on that but I couldn't see what was before it so it didn't do me much good. Anyway, it's a very basic camera but does a good job even in low light. I like it (not as my primary camera, but for when I need it).
I have a really tiny digital camera (can't even remember who makes it or anything) that takes pics at 640x480 and really like it. It's not as thin, but the camera is quite small (about the size of a pager I'd say) and really nice for bringing to concerts (where they don't allow real cameras) and other events because it's easily concealed. I have a picture of it here, for scale, or if anyone knows what kind it is please respond. If I was at home I could tell you, but I'm at work. Anyway, it's a lot cheaper than the new Logitech one anyway, and connects via USB.
What they don't seem to understand is that as long is it can be viewed it can be copied into a format that can be distributed online. Maybe the copy won't be as clean, but if it can be viewed it can be copied, and if it can be copied, it can be distributed.
With a little accountability (i.e.: assurances that the data doesn't fall into the wrong hands or is abused) I really don't think this is a bad thing. Look at El Al in Israel -- they have massive amounts of data on passengers and participate in profiling unlike any other airline. Why? Because they HAVE to. After September 11th I feel like we have the same responsability.
I think this is a great concept. We have the technology right now to create a system of public transportation that can be autonomous, however I think that the public doesn't want to give up control of how they get from point A to point Z. A system where cars go from one point to another (whether on tracks or by GPS and sensors), coupled with some of the Segway devices to go "the last mile" if neccessary and there could be an efficient, clean system of transportation. I think this is a step in the right direction.
True. If their patents expire within the near future it doesn't give them much of a powerful stance from an enforcement side, although i think they still did he right thing by speaking out.
This is exactly what we need. Someone to stand up to the new practice of wrecking the CDs so they can't be played on certain players. I never actually pictured one of the larger companies doing that, but Phillips is apparently in a perfect position to do it.
I think that Microsoft's future, once they have their whole.NET and Passport thing set up, will ride on whether they can provide the security that they claim to be able to provide. It's possible that people will sign up and use the service, but I think that the very second that they have a security breach, and information leaks out, people will stop taking them seriously, and they will be doomed.
Absolutely; I agree that these users should be kept off the public network until they learn to take care of their systems. I am on a campus network, so their are literally hundreds of systems here atacking mine right now. In fact, in the last three days I've had close to 12,000 of the worm attacks, but about eight hours ago they stopped abruply. I made a phone call, and it turns out that the university did the exact same thing. Every user that was infected and actively broadcasting attempts to infect others for two days was disconnected from the nework. At first it seemed drastic to me, but we're using a public resource, and their traffic was polluting our already-clogged network.

The funny thing is that the first company I worked for did JUST THAT with ghost and generic dell desktop images...
SiPix cameras might be supported; check here: http://www.usbman.com/linuxusb.htm

http://www.pogo-tech.com has some higher resolution pictures. Looks a little awkward to carry...

Hehe, wow, amazing... you got points for that EVEN THOUGH you said you used Windows XP!! It really is a kinder gentler /. :)

There are two screenshots of Lindows in use here:

It looks impressive to me (so far).
The forked.net mirror seems slow, so here's another mirror:

Well, I wondered how the heck the missle base was so damn nice, until I found this article...

That's correct - the Linksys VOIP-enabled router must be used with a for-pay service.
...and I forgot to mention that the real website is http://www.reiserfs.com
Yea... and your web site doesn't even load.

i think he was joking... the lossy compression was one of those wonderful April Fools posts we all loved so much.
