Did not see the reference to the actual size of it. I'm guessing a platter the size of Alcatraz (which is in between "as big as a house" and "the size of Pittsburg").
In my experience, the command line is more consistent, especially if you are telling someone to do something. Once you get into it, it just a matter of saying "press A, then press., then...."
With a GUI, there is a lot of hunting and squinting and guessing: basically, the stuff is never in the same place and never looks the same from one machine to the next.
I like the car DVD system that includes the windshield video projector, so I can watch movies like "Along Came Polly" while driving. It sure beats anything I'd see on the road in front of me.
Too often, upgrades really mean downgrades. I was recently forced to "upgrade" my Nokia cell phone to a "newer better" model.
The newer model as the number keys laid out in converging diagonal lines, instead of straight up and down like the old one, so I have to think about and hunt for each number key. I guess the standard phone-button layout was just not good enough for Nokia.
I vote for the rover in the form of a McDonald's cheeseburger wrapper. This will blow around across half the planet (at least until Val Kilmer's robot dog finds it and eats it)
estimates $11.7 billion was spent on goods and services pitched via unsolicited e-mail.
If one person answered all of these penis lengthening ads and purchased the product, the resulting member would stretch to the moon, circle it 3 times, and reach all the way back.
First they came for the ooffshore pirate DVD factories,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't an offshore DVD pirate. Then they came for the Kazaa users,
and I didn't speak up,
because I didn't use Kazaa. Then they came for the VHS copiers,
and I didn't speak up,
because I still used Betemax. Then they came for me,
and I turned off the set.
Come to think of it, it is impossible to make a "high quality" anything if the TV show concerned is "Dharma and Greg". I think the entire UPN network will be exempt from these restrictions too. (I'd mention the ABC network, but I didn't think it was around anymore)
Sounds interesting, but appears slashdotted already. In the mean time, does anyone know of a similar device which is Cd-based?
Imagine one of those little round MP3-CD players, except it has a small color screen instead of 2 line LCD-readout, and it property display video files,.jpg/etc and text files from the CD (and of course play audio and MP3).
Does such exist? Am I the only one who would be interested in it?

Just wait until AOL starts mailing these out.
If software is outlawed, only outlaws will have software.
If you'd like to play classic arcade games from the 1980s, then it might be time for you to take a trip to New York
If they want a killer, boffo tourist slogan to bring the huddled masses to NYC, I think they need to try something different.

Australians have the best aim
As if that is of any help when your boomerang rounds always come back and knock down your health points.
For once, the old "Foxtrot" comic-strip joke is not off-topic.

How about a TLD ".sucks" for all of these?
Success at last, Eric Lenscherr.

I'm so happy about this that I'm going to send an e-mail about the event to 43,000,000 of my closest friends.

There were bugs with bodies disappearing
Is that like the Brendelfly guy from "The Fly" remake with a transporter device?
"hehe. I used Grokster to download 120 people's lives, and now my hard drive is full of them."
This is like one of those electronic probation tether things for crooks, but it reports back to Bill Gates instead of to the courts.
A DVD collection of "Dharma and Greg" will meet those requirements quite easily.
That looks like it exactly! I wonder if it can display text files and act as an ebook reader?

Does this include low-quality copies, like standard VHS recordings?
Look here. It is not the same site as the slashdotted one, but at least you can see what it looks like.
