if i got right down to it with a 200x magnifying glass, would you feel confortable giving me a 35mm 20x30 and your 'professionally printed' digital 20x30? doubtful.
with lens photography there is infinate amount of raw data, but (he is claiming) ~10 million effective pixels in a decent camera. so with 11.1 mp, you capture all the effective data, but still miss the fluff. it would perform equally under a microscope after being 'professionally printed'
... if you think it looks like drunk boxing when the human is controlling it directly, what do you think it will look like when the human writes a system that attempts to do exactlly what it would do if a human was controlling it directly?
MUCH MUCH less compelling.
allow EMP = biggest EMP always win, and TV coverage is impossible.
chemical = are we to expect the humans will go back into the ring to pick up their bot after it is sprayed with acid?
flamethrowers i don't have a problem with, just not real exciting.
i'll just stop there... but i really feel strongly about this, there is a give and take, and the current rules make for good fights. the second someone has a 30 foot flamethrower/EMP, and can beat any bot in 10 seconds, the show is over, and its all about ratings.
i'm a loyal battlebots viewer.... but with the advent of 3-4 other 'bot' fighting shows, someone had to die.
battlebots is RAW, its just the bots out there with some minimal hazzards. you look at other shows like robot wars, and each individual bot makes little difference to who wins. there are like 5 huge 'house bots', and all you have to do to win is watch the house bot push the other guy in the pit. lame. shows like robotica are just glorified RC cars that race around. lame.
battlebots did everything right, no compaints here at all. i'll be watching the re-runs after back to back to back SNL marathons i'm sure.
on a side note, be sure to check out the new season of INSOMNIAC on comedy central, its fucking hilarious.
its a lot. from a previous article i'm too lazy to search for, they were offing downloads of songs for 50c or something, and that ended up being like $10. so 25c is probably equal to $5
is this guy serious? if you just want to toy around with suse, BUY A PC. last i heard they were getting 1 frame a second on tux racer... for $300 you could buy a pretty decent PC that would run suse much better.
i buy stuff on the internet all the time. if it doesn't come or arrives broken, i am basically screwed and have to deal with RMAs and trying to get my money back.
if everything came out of a machine, if my merchandise doesn't come or arrives broken, i can kick the shit out of the machine. MUCH BETTER.

all i need is someone exploiting a bug and getting all my personal information as well as EVERYONE I KNOW.
cell phones are full of sensitive data, and enabling file sharing is simply a bad idea.
i live in china... i just tried this search here:

and it gave me this list of links:
link 1
link 2
link 3
man, they are good. guess i'll stay.
...um... buddy... thats exactlly what i said.
i said there is infinate amount of raw data, but only ~10 million pixels of true effective data (the rest is noise)
RTFC.
"home media gateway" gets translated in my head as "RIAA funded home media rights management filter"
might want to check the source before you turn it on...
you'll have to qualify indistinguishable...

how long did that greecian law last? that was a joke from the start.
i don't quite understand this... lets do an interview with the author.
Mr. Freely? come on guys, I.P. Freely!?
already been done.
brand new G4 with all the fixings is over 3,000. for 600 i could put together an on par x86 system.
VERY easily 1/3. more like 1/5 to be realistic.
... well, first off, if money was deposited and then instantly withdrawn, i wouldn't lose money.
second, i do this on poker sites. poker is a skill game, i have a positive expected return.
route all your paypal transactions through online gaming. have people deposit money into gambling accounts and then withdraw into paypal.
paypal legally can't charge fees on money accepted from gambling sites... so they don't.
i save a lot of money this way.
its a lot. from a previous article i'm too lazy to search for, they were offing downloads of songs for 50c or something, and that ended up being like $10. so 25c is probably equal to $5
and here come the competitors...
"a blazing 12.5 inches long, and finishes any job in 34 seconds."
playboy gets an XM radio channel, and development floureshes. just another example of how pr0n drives all new technology.
they had stone henge to use for development.
sounds like a research paper database. better check the IP and copyrights...... nah, i'll just sue them now.

IIRC, they like to wobble wobble.
looks like they totally fucked up the site!
the posting of a bill gates comment was modded as +5 insigntful, not bills comment itself.
in some cases it could be very insightful to post a blatently wrong comment as it would help us not to repeat history.
this is why slashdot moderation sucks.

buy are overpriced non-OS software product... or buy the scaled down version and get the full version free.
HP, why not just go OpenOffice? Word Perfect has just as many bugs, and you'd save yourself (ultimately your consumers) a lot more money.
