i love it! the top banner ad on the first page is for av's "new," "fast" search engine v3.0. And the first story is on bashing the sponsor! AAAHAHAHAHA!
if by the "sequel" you mean speaker, then i can see where you're coming from. the first book is very different from that second one, and incredibly different from the third (heh...).
maybe you should try some of the worthing saga storyline (book by that name). but i wouldn't give up on card -- i hated 2001 until i read the book, for instance.
A prototype 353 cubic inch (5.7-liter) pushrod V-8 engine featuring hemispherical combustion chambers and two spark plugs per cylinder powers the Dodge Super8 Hemi concept. Its estimated 353 horsepower (263 kW) and 395 lb.-ft. (536 Nm) of torque are delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed AutoStick® manumatic transmission, allowing the vehicle to reach 60 mph (97 kph) in less than six seconds and clock a top speed of 154 mph (248 kph).
The concept's independent suspension with modified MacPherson struts in front delivers precise steering, while the five-link coil-over-shock rear set-up further enhances the ride and handling.
the car may be on the garish side, and the aerodynamics sure aren't looking towards top speed, this car probably rocks. i hope it's not toned down too much for the street-release. and when are those lcd pads going to make it into a production line? those are so sweet -- especially the apps they've put on 'em. and i'm sure we can all think of a multitude of apps we'd like to see run on them (wink wink mp3 players)
this release has some weird UI bugs -- like transparencies in strange places (seeing the desktop wallpaper instead of the back button). very weird, and i'm at a loss. this is new bug (for me) -- isn't this project progressing (in usability and memory footprint, for example, not underlying features)?
uhh, hello? why does this comment keep coming up? it's a tool, an aid to a surgeon. no computer is doing any surgery here, people! it's like using a film camera that has a stabilizing mechanism that takes out joslting of the camera -- it just makes it neater. just like how this system takes out the normal trembling of human hands, etc. sound better now?
maybe so, but there's a huge difference between a research facility like ohio state university doing it and st mary's, which is a "regular" hospital. plus it's in england, and they don't even have electric toothbrushes yet! hehehe...
this tech is definitely being accepted.

well, michael's doctor might not be on the cutting edge, but I just finished an internship this last summer at MD Anderson in Houston (big cancer hospital), and at least a fifth of the doctors i interacted with had some kind of device w/ i/o capabilities -- usually a palm that they used to note things and organize information that they would be putting into their computers later (this is a research hospital). it made them faster, IMO.
it might not be practical, but don't you think that the operators of those huge, vacuum-tube based "supercomputers" would have salivated over integrated circuits, even those in a modern calculator? i think it's incredibly cool that we can salivate over this. i love it.
actually, the original poster seems to have a point. after all, wired's first paragraph seems to credit *them* with the release (huh??).
"Perhaps the Wired News Vaporware List is a good motivator, because two weeks after winning a high spot on the list, the Linux 2.4 kernel has been released."
obviously this is some sort of joke, but those folks decided to make it instead of retracting their earlier comments.

Because most people in America don't have "two brain cells." If you took a random sampling of opinions, I bet that most of the responses you would get from middle america would be in favor of illegal drugs (and enforcement of that illegality). Parents are worried about their kids smoking pot (oh no...), old people are still worried about "the crack cocaine," and noone has any kind of perspective on the issue. Politicians ultimately, on issues like this, go with their constituents. Politicians who have not done so have not gone back to Washington.

you gotta love the debian guys (including those at debianplanet). it's too bad their apt-get got stolen (just a joke, i know it wasn't stolen).
and no i didn't mean that card wrote 2001 -- duh.

it'll be in all of that! all of it -- bwuhahahaha!!!

yeah and when the car came out they said it would never replace bicycles. human ingenuity produces more surprises than even it can imagine.
your mom and dad must be a lot smarter than mine . . .
