Everyone's talking about the clips having good animation. All I saw from them was 2 camera pans and a blinking eye. Not enough to tell if the animation is good. The images look photorealistic, but they didn't show enough to tell how good the animation is so stop comparing it to Pixar stuff because their animation is truly amazing.
I tried installing Corel Linux on my machine equipped with a 3dlabs permedia 3 card and it crashed and rebooted. Couldn't get it to run. I did try the Corel Linux cd on another computer and the graphical install was very easy.
Why are all of you people so afraid of this device? It's not another plan set forth to put a stop to your civil rights. It's a friggin device that stops terrorists from smuggling weapons into wherever it's used. Unless all of you are terrorists, I don't see a reason to get paranoid
What's the big deal about pre-installed Linux? I don't think it's going to attract more people to the OS. Most people don't know crap about their computer or their hardware and the only way to get people to hop on the Linux bandwagon is to dumb it down for the average person. Nobody wants to spend months or years to learn the ins and outs of Linux just so they could get their report to print.

and that's why God invented mimes and then animators strapped some mo-cap equipment on them.
If it's rendered on a computer, then it's CG.

They hit the kill switch. That deletes all the backups, DUH!
Ah, slashdot's been going downhill ever since story 7,563. Damn Andover!
Rock - the other OTHER white meat!
I think I'd take a couple more million dollars over not having to fear flamers any day.
a penguin hit me in the head once, can you send me some money?
why wouldnt they? they don't really care about open source or the linux community. They're cashing in on the Linux craze, that's all.
Well now you know why Hemos is getting married... :)

You could say that about any show... and anyway, they always care when Kenny dies... they always go "Oh my God, they killed Kenny! You bastards!"
why are the ethics questionable?
well I thought it was pretty funny.
