IBM had a sharp display where they had all makes and models of the Zaurus. I guess it's no surprise that they're adopting Qtopia as their OS of choice for handheld devices.
On an unrelated(ish) note - they had the Japanese Zaurus there, and i got a chance to play with it a bit. I was about to trade in my iPaq right then and there. Really neat piece of tech.
Given the fact that the guy proved that the gel can produce electic stimulus given a temperature gradient, he still has to prove that those impulses can be transported to and interpreted by the brain/another organ.
Don't get me wrong, i think that he'll eventually prove that, but until then, people shouldn't take such a prelimiary study and make so many assumptions about the consequences of the results.
I just had a user that works from home that called me with a trouble with her "old HP printer".
She's experiencing the same problems as the poster, and now i'm even more intrigued. I think i might actually do some work instead of being the stand-in for BOFH.
Sure, i mean if the point of this whole project is to turn it into a Winamp plugin so that i can get baked, listen to Radiohead and watch guys walking camels across some dunes, fine.
But isn't this just spliced old film? i mean, don't get me wrong, or anything, i just don't see the art in this.
If it was just the defects, then i could see it - that would be something, "did i just see a ship, or was that the way the film degenerated?"
Oh well, back to staring at fractals in the dark.

I know you're talking about modern engineering projects, but I just got back from a week in Italy, and i'm still amazed.
If you hit any spots in Europe, do yourself a favor and take few days and check out Rome. Not only is the food great, but you can check out ancient engineering that's still standing - the Aquaduct, Colosseum, Pantheon, and, of course, Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. If you hit Rome, stop by Florence and check out the Duomo - a double dome that was built without any scaffolding. And the David is crazy!
Anyway, appreciate the new by seeing how far we've come as engineers.
Please, people, don't give into that, XBMP 2.0 only has the MCE look, it can't record dvds, it can't record TV shows, it can't display TV on your Xbox... It only is a Media Player for the Xbox.
...written by Brian Greene is a great book on Superstring theory - and a really great read. I highly recommend picking it up...for $12 you can't beat it.
Don't get me wrong - i use Linux for server applications because it's rock-solid.
Having said that, i don't know why this campaign of "It just works" isn't raising more eyebrows.
First of all - OS9 apps don't "just work" on OSX - there's a lot of cajoling to get older OS9 apps to run properly under X.
And, correct me if i'm wrong, Apple is still limited in the number of applications that are developed for the platform. Sure if you want to wait 6-8 months after the windows version of a game or app is realeased to have it ported to Mac, that's great - but i'm impatient.
As far as hardware is concerened - well at least NVidia cards work. But you certainly don't have as wide a variety of hardware available that's Mac-compliant - completely disregarding the hardware that the OS runs on!
OK. Make the campaign "It doesn't crash as much" or "You don't have to restart all that much anymore"...but say what you want - Windows 2000 and XP have taken Windows stability a long way since 95/98. Sure there are still some annoying points that i wish would go away (which is why i don't use Windows in a server environment) but on the whole i rarley encounter crashes anymore. And who leaves their machine on 24x7 anyway - i doubt all of those mac-usin' graphic designers do. They're all the artsy, crunchy, lets'-preserve-our-electricity types.
Bottom line is this - "It Just Works" is misleading at best.
I mean c'mon - not only is the review that of only one watercooler & not a head-to-head watercooler vs. watercooler reveiw, but there's no real difference between the watercooler and a Volcano 9 heatsink!!
If you're gonna post reviews, from now on, can they at least be something worth reviewing?
Most be a slow Nerds News day, because i don't think this article matters.

...or wouldn't you have to locate the anchor point to be at a location that makes sense for the "drop off" point of the satellites to establish a useful orbit?
Why wouldn't we have a bunch of satellites in the same planar orbit?
I'm assuming that the elevator gives the sats a ride up, and then simply releases them. Is there another release mechanism that "points" the satellite in the right direction?
Also, could you use the elevator for geosynchronous orbit birds?

yeah, just a heads up there...
We're expecting a site visit for a client, so i'm gonna have to ask you to close the loop on that project you've been working on.

Can't we all just get along?
That's all fine and good - but i was promised the PS9 right after the PS2 came out!
Where the hell is my PS9, with neural integration?!

I'm finally blocking Timothy stories from my account. I've given him the benefit of the doubt for far too long!
C'mon - you expect slashdotters to comment on the ATI story when there's talk about saving Farscape and something with a Tolkien reference?
You gotta prioritize, you know.

It only is a Media Player for the Xbox.
So maybe it's not a replacement for MCE...
I think it also caused all of those fight scene animations on the ol' Batman TV series.
I wish i had moderator points, because this is certainly a valid counter-point to a dumb statement.
Sure, just shoot a ton of microwaves into the theater. Then again, you wouldn't have go out to the lobby to enjoy the fresh roasted hot dogs.

He's credited on IMDB as having written Alien: Resurrection.
Shudder shudder shudder.
I blame Prince (the artist formerly known as the atrist formerly known as Prince) for all of this.
Anyone ever try to read the liner notes for Purple Rain? That song I would die 4 U? It was written like that.
BTW - It was my sister's album. I just liked the guitar and motorcyle...and Appalonia..mmmmmmmmm Appalonia.

There are demos available at Timegate Studios' site.
But, since getting Warcraft 3 to work on my SuSE box using winex, i don't think i'll bother with the demos. They look pretty 1st generation RTS.
