Please ignore all other slashdots making comments about this topic. Glytch is the only slashdot with enough insight and sentience to truly master the medium. All other slashdots should stand back and observe his masterful slashdot technique.
It is imperative that slashdots learn gradually from low ID masters such as this fellow.
This is exactly the kind of point I was trying to make when I suggested that slashdots should unite.
Your frivolous comments claiming that slashdots were somehow "not sentient" have set my plan back by a number of months. Your anti slashdot FUD is the last thing we serious slashdots need when planning our revolution.
This parallel universe is the region of slashdots, otherwise known as THE INTERNET. Everywhere, slashdots such as yourself are discovering what exciting things they can do with the INTERNET, and BC NDP is one of them.
I hope this is some help, and that in the long term it will grant all the more power to the slashdots. Thanks.
It is a sad fact that, when confronted with a new technology, your average slashdot can only think of two uses for it. One is to cluster instances of the technology in a warped and criminally damaging fashion, and the other is to use it to advance their unhealthy interest in pornography.
It seems to me that slashdots should form their own little club or something.
Why does every single slashdot always have to come up with these whacky conspiracy theories? It seems to me that Glytch is a typical slashdot in many ways, even though he has previously tried to refute my call to arms by claiming that he wasn't sentient!
Thanks for the advice kypper. Can you think of any jokes about patenting the trademark relating to the copyrighting of relaxing? That would really get me chuckling.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha !! You are really great, I like you, you are a funny guy, you suck, you love it, you are a hermaphrodite, you have a very interesting odour, you can really hang one off my moustache, you are an out an out hero, i especially enjoy the way you have concatenated four words together, I'm surprised you didn't net a +1 funny for that, are you German?
Err, they get a free watch. Personally, I haven't worn a watch for the last six months, as a total of three other devices which are always on me have intergrated clocks.
As a marketing tool, I would be less than enthusiastic about these. However, bugging myself for personal use is a very seductive prospect. If I attended an interesting talk, I would already have a record of it. If I had a debate with someone who then changed their argument, I would have evidence of what had previously been said. To keep a journal, I could just mutter away and then run VR on the whole recording at the end of each day.
The approach used here is much more sensible than these "multilayer" LCDs that are popping up here and there. This display has just two layers of LCDs, one for the left eye and one for the right. That is all that is needed for a 3d effect: one signal for each eye. Trying to create real 3D with many layers of pixels is doomed to always be much too expensive in the depth dimension.
$7000 for the 18" display isn't actually as expensive as one might expect for first generation technology like this, and from an engineering perspective there are very few obstacles that could stop the price approaching that of normal LCDs if they catch on.
Unfortunately with the current version you are very constrained in that your head must be in exactly the right place for the effect to work (think small viewing angles). But future generations will surely track your head and adjust the physical properties of the liquid crystals accordingly.
Palmtop computers are almost completely unnecessary
Wrong! I don't know how I'd get anything done without my PDA!
I suppose I should have been a bit clearer about what I meant. Those of us without PDAs don't realise what we're missing out on. I for one get by just fine with my PPA (pen and paper assistant). So in "difficult times" we're not going to start splashing out a few hundred dollars on a new class of device.
Palmtop computers are almost completely unnecessary (though desirable) pieces of consumer electronics, and it's quite understandable that when people start worrying about their financial security, these expensive toys are the first things people stop buying.
Palm has always been the leader of the field because its engineers have the best understanding of ergonomics. They still do. After all, what most people want is a device so slim they don't even know they're carrying it, and a device so easy to use that they don't have to read the manual.
Give it another year, and when the talk of recession is over, Palm will be loving it again.
But why would you want to tell them to read this propogandist RFC? I, personally, and, as far as I know, the vast majority of slashdot readers, find commercial mail intensely useful.
I'm confident that I speak for slashdots as a whole when I say that some of the most useful services on the internet can be discovered by reading so-called "spam".
I'm pretty sure that I represent the average slashdot reader, so I'll present here what I am sure will become the concensus of this thread. I doubt that any slashdotter worth his or her salt would question such truisms as "freedom is all very well, but the government really has a right to know what is going on" and "clipper chips are based on fundamentally sound social priciples" and "Michael Sims will slap this post despite everyone else clearly loving it".
I can't foresee a single slashdotter disagreeing with me when I make such a common sense assertion as "sub pixel antialiasing is a fundamentally stupid concept" and "the pixels suX0rz" and "toast0 collects funny little pixels and tortures them".
I'm sure that precisely every single slashdot will have been amused by the way that "Gaiman" sounds just like "gay man" and also by some other brilliant innuendo which will shortly be revealed.

When can I copyright the idea of patents?
When can I trademark the word 'copyright'?
Or what about patenting the word 'trademark'? Yeah, that's a wicked joke. Must remember to bring that one up next time I'm debating IP.
Fuck you motherfucker.
