then we would have the ultimate excuse for pretending to work! And when the boss comes, we hold our wands to the paper, say the words "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" and poof! the ink disappears! Boss'll never know you were playing Freecell on your notepad.

There's a man at my church who drives one of these things regularly; he's one of the engineers that works on the car. He took me for a test drive about two years ago; lemme tell ya...it's a SWEET ride. The car absolutely screams; he regularly races (and beats) Corvettes, Vipers, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and all those other exotic sports cars. If I recall correctly, its first (and only) gear will take the car all the way to 90mph (12,000rpm peak).

One situation to watch: Apple Computer recently filed a patent application for a computer whose exterior would change colors, apparently after Color Kinetics had demonstrated their technology to Apple. "It covers a lot of our technology and a lot of patents we hold," Mueller says.
(Imagine that, though: a computer that would glow different colors based on how much of its processing power was being used. When it turned red, you'd know that a crash was imminent.)
So based on the above statement, if I run video editing software, or defrag my hard drive, or even run CPUIdle, then the computer will glow hot red, and therefore a crash is imminent.
Cool!
In the first paragraph, it looks like Apple is trying to pull a Taco Bell.
For some moments in life, there are no words. But for this moment, I have but three:
Oh...Emm...Gee!!!! (OMG)
Just imagine! You know the holographs they designed for the Star Wars trilogies? Those effects are now possible with this sort of device, and the fog would look so much more natural in the movie! Besides movies, what other uses can you imagine for this technology?
Just watched the video clip of the two Finns demonstrating the screen in the museum. It appears the wall of fog is very thick, though the creators said this is adjustable depending on how transparent you want the screen to be. Wonder how quiet/noisy this is, and whether they can clean up the bottom of the screen.

This is fantastic stuff! Pretty soon we'll see places like ThinkGeek selling stuff to boost your glucose levels. I can see the reviews from OverclockedCafe 50 years from now -- "HowTo: Speed up your pacemaker with Glucose!" Plus, with the embedded chips coming our way, we'll probably be tapping our circulatory systems to power in-built PDAs or to watch movies in the palms of our hands on a flexible OLED screen.

You may not have ADHD (Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder), but you may have ADD, which is basically an inability to concentrate or stick to one thing for long periods of time. I have it myself, and I know how frustrating that is. I in fact have pulled many all-nighters and that's when I produce my best work; unfortunately my body does not like that too well.
At the very least you should visit a professional therapist and have them give you a psychiatric evaluation. He/she can diagnose your problem--maybe you're just a really bad procrastinator--and perhaps prescribe some medication, if necessary.

Ya know, LCDs don't *have* to be run at their native resolution all the time. You are free to set an LCD to run at 640x480, 800x600, or whatever you like. The nice thing about a 200dpi LCD display is that you can run it lower than the native resolution and still get a great looking picture.
Another thing...Windows can be set to a higher "dpi" than its traditional 96. This will increase the font size for EVERYTHING. Just go to Display Properties > Settings > Advanced, and select the "DPI" from the General tab that you wish to use. Beware, as some applications may not look right because they weren't designed to use that resolution.
FP!
'Bullitt.' A must-see for that long ride into the Vegas sunset. Then you have an excuse for the cop: "Sorry, officer? I was just practicing those stunts back there! I thought Bullitt was an educational film."
...so he could carry out his anti-recall campaign. Doubleplus bad. Now his goons will send out tons of spam to people, trying to deluge their email boxes with INGSOC messages, "Big Brother Davis is always watching...wait, wrong story.
A simulation...but for what though? To what end are we practicing? If, as you propose, God is running a giant simulator down here, then what "real" life is he mimicking?
I believe it is possible in 2199 for an advanced computer to simulate an existence like SimCity.
However, if everyone is a digital projection controlled by a computer program, then how is it the humans inside the matrix are capable of independent thought? Why isn't it like "Big Brother" in George Orwell's 1984, where the Thought Police were always watching for crimethink? Even if the computers' super-advanced AI engine could simulate thoughts *for* the human, and trick them into thinking they came up with it themselves, then why would the system allow a human to discover what is outside the Matrix? Is there a certain amount of "tolerance" built into the system? I guess that would explain the need for "agents."
...But if no one was allowed to think a "wrong" thought...there would be no law enforcement, but no one would care because they wouldn't need to be taught about obeying the rules because no one would ever think about breaking them (The Pre-Crime Division would take care of that);)
Soo...this goes back to my initial inquiry -- where does the independent thought come from? Is it somehow hardwired to the person's brain through the matrix? If so, they need subconscious experiences (daydreams, nightmares, etc.) in order to have independent thought. So the Matrix must have had a certain level of tolerance built in.
But.... if the Matrix *was* built by a race of cruel machines designed to control humans, then why was the Matrix programmed the way it is? Are they torturing humans with a life they once knew, before AI came into play and destroyed that which they had?
All this makes me want to see "Revolutions." I hope they answer all these questions, like "Who Created The Matrix?" It's too human, too sympathetic to be built by cold, heartless machines. There is religion in the matrix, so someone had to program that in.
Did we see this coming? DRM being necessary all across the board? Its founders (ARPANet excluded) wanted the Internet to be a free-exchange market of Information. I only hope, with all this control and rights-restriction, that it does not become such a restricted tool that it is left in the hands of a few individuals who make the decisions for the masses.
Bottom line, if this ultimately makes the Internet a more secure place to do business, then I'm all for it. Digital signatures would be very cool once they are implemented on a global scale. No more paper filing, the trees would be happier:), and best of all, if this is implemented well, that bond of trust between businesses and consumers can be strengthened.
On the other hand, I still don't want to see everything on the Internet become a pay service.
Will you please stop posting links to individual torrent trackers? They are already overloaded with bandwidth as it is, and getting slashdotted is not helping the situation.
I belong to a very popular forum that found this article and has said some nasty things about./ and its users, but I will not post them as I do not want to reduce my karma with flamebait material.
Having said that, I strongly urge Slashdot's editors to think twice about posting the actual links (or any stories relating thereto) of torrent trackers.

Officer: "Driver's License and Registr.... say, is that Beverly Hills Cop you're watching there? Mind if I jump in?"
No... but the press certainly can. These kinds of stories make for a publicist's nightmare.
They should write an article about bad translations in video games. Zero Wing would certainly be #1.

Why did this get moderated funny? it's Redundant.
