Am I missing something? AFAIK (not very far), there _isn't_ any source (it's written in asm). True, they could give you the ASM instead of the straight binary, but the ASM in just a set of nuemonics (no idea how to spell that)(ie you can map one-to-one ASM with binary data, but not C code with binary data).
ASM is the source code. Machine code is the product of that source code. ASM looks like this (may not be accurate, it's been a long time) mov ax, 0013 int 10 mov es, $0a000 mov di, $0000 mov [es:di], 255 Which, if memory serves, will put an x86 processor into graphics mode, and output one pixel. I'd rather troubleshoot this than the binary it produces. Anyone up to a 9th level Hacker can read ASM. Not a big deal once you get used to it, it's like any other language -- heck, Borland even makes an OO ASM, with Windows things hung onnit. Reading the machine code that comes from the source code is only possible for the Wizardly Hacker (Level 10+).
sweet good godamn fucking goddamn sweetmeats of Christ served up in a pita pocket, that's fucking funny! I could not stop laughing, and fell out of my chair.
Ugh. If they are going to be this lazy, the least they can do is put out a call for name suggestions. I'm sure slashdotters could think up something better.
The animal on the cover of The Unofficial Guide to Lego Mindstorms is a giant mecha-rabbit. Mechanized rabbits were popularized in anime, and frequently terrorize Neo-Tokyo. They stand between 100 and 250 feet, and carry a wide variety of armaments.
besides, how much are you paying for slashdot? You should only complain if you have paid for this service...
Paying isn't the point. These are ideas that could make/. better. I don't think Cmdr Taco, etc. would mind people telling them how to make their product and service better. Saying "it's free, so you'll get what you get and like it" is a pretty worthless attitude for a FSF/GPL etc programmer to have.
I'd love to see a moderator-like method of voting for stories, personally. Of course, we'd still probably retain the hand picked method too, since the editors (ususally) do a good job selecting stories.
IANAD, but in my limited experience of knowing people who've had kidney transplants and various prosthetics, rejection is something that happens frighteningly quickly. Even if no symptoms showed up in nine days, I would guess that blood and tissue tests would be able to show pretty quickly whether the chip had been identified as "other" and attacked by the immune system. Although I must say that talk of "rejection" in the context of a non-organic implant doesn't exactly make that clear ringing sound of truth in my head.
I think (part of) the reasoning behind the 10 day limit was to limit risk of having the glass capsule shatter. He did mention that as a concern.

Yes, but CARCASSES? I mean, if they're already dead, you'd want to take em out of the heard anyway, right?
Dead cows become cow food in short order. That's how BCE spread. reading a carcass' barcode may give an idea that it needs to go to the incinerator, rather than the make-cow-food-from-cows plant.
This is kind of a shame. Think about what having politicians who were truly responsible for their actions would be like. We could have grass roots movements to buy & sell up and coming mayors, senators, etc. The stock would have to be truly public, though -- only private individuals allowed to buy stock, and only so much, to keep corruption away.
Sleep with an intern? Good luck explaining that to your board of directors. Win an election and there'd be dividends for all. If your senator eally screw up, he'd have to step down from John Politico, inc...

re you crazy???? Hydro Thunder is an arcade perfect port and the grafx are incredible! I can't believe some people's bias towards something can warp their perception of other products so much.
The only thing my perception's been warped by is the video on the demo disk. I think the graphics look muddy and washed out, and most of the boats are really small. Of course, the arcade version could feature muddy, washed out graphics, I dunno.
1. (dumb one) How was this thing getting its TCP/IP? Ethernet port, serial PPP, what?
2. Doesn't the Dreamcast run WinCE?
Question 1 : The dreamcast comes with a web browser, and a 56kbs modem. It lets you set up a connection to whatever service you like, or you can use worldnet, which is Sega's "preferred provider". I'd assume that when you've got the browser up and running, you've also got these ports open so Sega can nefariously check your system out. Muah ha ha!
Question 2 : The Dreamcast CAN run Wince. It doesn't have to. Games load everything from the GD, so a developer could roll his own, go with sega's or go with Wince. So far, the only wince game I've seen (Hydrothunder) looks Really Bad.
I've got a friend who works at Lucent, and when I told him about this, his comment was "All big telephone companies blame us when their networks go down. We waste more time proving that our products weren't the cause of outages than I care to think about."
Which makes some sense. If you were in charge of damage control at MCI, would you want to say,"Yes, this was entirely our fault, and we're incompetent monkeys for letting it go on so long"?

that way, you can die in a marsh, or a swamp. Rivers don't always lead to civilization.
