I am recieving magazines and spam for an alias that does not exist. They must have quite the little profile on the fictional dude...
I recommend that you all try it, it's a great waste of their resources. That, and mail back all the business reply forms... with some lead shot in them...
Has No-one READ THE ARTICLE?

I see posts at 2, 3 , and 4 that have obviously not read any preceding posts or the article. Are these people really that moronic, or is it just me?
Also, silk has only tensile strength. It's compressive and torsional strength is crap. No sky-scrapers built of silk, no cars, no bridges, no dams. It's got to have compressive and torsional strength for that.
Concrete is the opposite, having immense compressive strength but no tensile strength or torsional strength what so ever... You, as in a normal human, can probably put enough tensile strength into a small rod of concrete to break it.
Steel, OTOH, is a good mix of all three, having excellent torsional strength; fairly good compressive and tensile strength, but not excellent of either. That is why we imbed rebar into concrete, so it has tensile strength.
Does anyone else here think that Juno is getting into some pretty deep water here?
If they don't make this VERY explicit in installation, etc. I think they might be in for
A. Backlash, i.e. everyone taking off.
B. Lawsuit. As far as I'm concerned, if a company(M$) did this to me, that's stealing cycles, power, and bandwidth.
I've got just about everything I need in a set of promedias. They are about $200 at Klipsch.
They seem to be some of the most versatile speakers, since they are simple 1/8" in.
Full 4.1, 250 watt, more than enough for any smallish room. And they are all for me...
You'd want to get a reciever if you are going to run them stand alone, but what good geek wouldn't be using his computer for DVD???
Untill I can emulate them. Yeah. That should do the trick. Lesse here, 5 years between consoles, that's, hmmm, about 10x computing power compared to today. So reasonably I should be running a 8Ghz with 1.28 gigs of ram, a 300 gig hard drive... hmm. Yep. Emulation is the way to go. Not now, but later...
I'd like to "see" this tech in action. I hope it's an improvement over the ultrasound ones I've seen. They look horrible; however, I've never really been totally blind, just mostly blind.
Something like this combined with a good wearable PC and I'll never need to enter meatspace again.
Actually, I wasn't referring so much to the actual hardware, which is above average. I was merely mentioning their practice of packaging everything in the OS, which KINDA, just SORTA MAYBE limits my choice of what to use. I'd rather have a choice. I really did like netscape.
A remote for a controller. Not exactly the best setup on earth. I think they would have to include a playstation controller.
Also, isn't this what the PS2 does? Plays PS1 games, and DVDs?
This seems to be the wave of the future though, since the induhviduals at the top of corporations like to include a bunch of stuff in one. That's why M$ sucks so bad, they try to do everything. (as I'm writing from a win98 box...)
And fling it out of the system. Preferably with someone on it. I can think of a few.
Realistically, though, we ought to think about this as another usefull small planet. There aren't any good, seperate planetoids in the outer areas. So many gas giants, moon, all of that gravitational hassle.
The best part of anime, to my mind, is the fact that they can draw things which cannot be done with special effects. Also, have you ever seen Disney(tm) do anything that might offend the thousands of soccer moms and kids who simply MUST buy that next Little Mermaid(tm) 4: Ariel(tm)'s Next Adventure.
1. The dialogue make essentially no sense in English, as much of it is culturally assumed. For example, if you say "superbowl" in the US, everyone knows what you mean. Things like that are what you don't get.
2. You must have seen some pretty poor anime then. Their plot is much better, considered as a group, than the US movie market. I admit there are some stinkers, but then have you ever seen late night tv movies here in the US?
3. The animation is just different. You may be of the opinion that it is worse, but in most cases, I would take anime above any disney crapola. They just want it to look awesome, since it is an art form.
In addition, the Japanese have had fine theater since BC, so I don't imagine you have any idea what you are talking about in that last little paragraph there... Try reading up a bit.
I love flamebait...
I think it's every good geek's duty to have read
The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. ISBN 0-553-57331-4 on my copy.
Also, check out all of his other books so far, Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon. They're pretty nice too.

Don't they own everyone?
the lameness filter says I need to use fewer caps. I hate it when it tells me that. Note: lameness filter should not check the .sig...

I want to see something besides the stupid ST: voyager cast, even if 7 of 9 is hot.
Give me Patrick Stewart or give me death!
However, if I noticed a program doing this, it would die as fast as Radiate/Attune...

Anyone got bets on a date to world domination?
