Here is a site with some more info on the SliMP3.. http://www.mp3newswire.net/stories/2001/slimp3.htm l It has a bit more detail on the unit and a picture of it working. Quite and impressive peice of hardware.
I just don't understand it. Why do people use IE still? For a long time I understood them, it used a whole lot less memory than netscape, and rendered webpages a whole lot better than other browsers. But then I found Opera which completely blew me away. Not only does it only use 14 megs of memory, which is a lot, but not nearly as much as IE (25 Megs) or Netscape (35 Megs), and it renders webpages just fine. I will probably get modded down for being a troll, but could someone tell me why they still use Internet Explorer?
I love these things, I can now watch the spice channel the way I want it. A girl goes down on another girl SLOW! A guy unzips his pants FAST FORWARD! CowboyNeal takes off his pants, REPLAY!
They just want the O.K. so if they get caught they won't get in any trouble. Hell they would probably keep it quiet anyway, so who knows why they want it legal, it's not like it matters. A little OT here, but this is pissing me off. After they attacks in NYC they have tried to limit (or just take away) our freedoms to keep other people from dying. I would like to think that our country is so great compared to some of those little dinky terrorists countries that we wouldn't have to do such things.
I just happened to be looking for something to watch, and believe it or not out of all 200+ channels this was all I could find. It was quite funny, maybe someone will post a divx of it on gnutella?;-)
Bring on the flames...

But sales of advertisments are hurting. If it means having slashdot for longer, I wouldn't mind obtrusive ads, as long as I could pay a little bit a month to turn them off. They would probably make more from people paying to not have them, than they would from them clicking them.
Does this mean I need to subscribe to a mailing list now to make sure my PS2 doesn't get out of date, and some bastard hacks into my PS2 making it unplayable?! I couldn't live without it! Oh wait yeah I can it got stolen =(
I have seen a prototype of these, although it wasn't working it was a great idea, just think of it as one of those desposable cameras. It is made out of paper, so you will have problems if you want a nice solid phone, but there are really made for someone who needs to make a phone call while on the run, or their cell is out of service, they can just run into the local Quicky-Mart and pick up a nice phone that can be used for 15, 30, or 60 mins. --------------------------------------

StormLinux is the Mandrake of Debian, it is really a great OS for those who can't understand Debian's complicated installation, or use. It really is a shame. StormLinux2k had the power of potato, and the ease of use of Mandrake. We should seriously take up a fund, send them a check with a note and just say thanks. --------------------------------------

The building the expo is being held in has a gas fire supressent, so all flames are quite useless, but no one would go to NYC just to flame Taco, right?

The EULA specifically states that users who sell or try to make money off their game playing may be suspended. --------------------------------------

I'm not flaming, I'm being serious, you all need to have more respect. This story wasn't posted as a fact, or some story, it was posted in memory and sympathy, all you all can do is flame eac hother and the poster. This was obviously intended to allow us to remember what happened as these people lost their lives.
May they rest in peace. --------------------------------------

There is a lady that is currently in training to do a "space drive", infact I believe I found the link on SlashDot. Also, more can be found here --------------------------------------

Why would anyone care if it is still "beta" it's not going to get significantly more stable just because it is final, infact a lot of "stable" versions are more buggy than their beta counterparts. I frequently use beta and cvs builds, out of the few crashed I have had, they were on the supposably stable software. --------------------------------------

http://www.ef.com is a very nice web-based learning site. So it would be OS independent. I know a few people that have used it, they say it is real easy to learn. --------------------------------------

"It is incredible how hard it was to manipulate data before the existence of computers."
Yes, back then they couldn't just run it through a computer and have it scramble it. To do this they would have to run it through some sort of mechanical device. --------------------------------------

Nothing in life is perfect. Even moderation, every site is different, glasscode would in no way work on slashdot, because there are too many bad apples out there that would like to mess it up. The community determines the moderation, if any, on every site. --------------------------------------

Look at the first graph. Internet traffic has dropped over 50% since the raids.
Microsoft has a future that includes more than massive lawsuits?
