"The researchers even joke that the MicroJet injector could be used to make getting tattoos much more bearable."
One of the most attractive aspects of getting a tattoo is that it hurts. It means that not everyone can stand to have it done and that if you have a big tattoo (as I do) that says a lot. I don't want some Blink 182/Lit/Linkin Park loving wuss (anyone else notice that all these bands are from affluent white neighbourhoods?) ruining that.
I seem to recall getting some vaccine shot at school when I was a kid, where the nurse used some ring-looking plastic thing she put on her middle finger, with the business end of the device being a small, round "nail-bed" in her palm, and she slammed me on the shoulder with it, which probably accounts for the ugly mark I have there at that spot too
You were probably born in the 1960's. That was how they used to give Polio vaccinations. I was born in the 1970's and from then on it has been oral.
You are doing the same as Di$ny does to my childhood faviourits and completly bastardisng them
Hey, Hey HEY! Michael Eisner was responsible for the atrocities of the last 10 years at Disney. Do not blame Disney folk as a whole. I think with live action movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean and the upcoming Herbie movie things are back on track. Please, do not equate a man who is milking his own idea to a man who has decimated and desecrated a humankind institution.
Lucas's ideas are so pedestrian, so cliched, so utterly devoid of originality or creativity.
The man is nothing less than a genius that he made it work.
Please point out anything like it (in concept) since.
In American film history we have two movies that have changed, inspired and affected culture to a staggering degree: The Wizard of Oz and Star Wars. If that were all we had, it would still be pretty damn good.
Now it's even easier for corporations re-releasing films to completely destroy the original beauty of a film by adding unnatural and unnecessary color!
Microsoft tried it with Windows CE for autos. I doubt very seriously that anyone could find a way to interface with automotive computers since there is no standard. You'd have to have some super ricer that would install a custom AC unit.
I predict in 20 years, half the articles on slashdot will be cool cyborg mods (to the human body).
In 1971 Stanley Kubrick had a prediction for 1994 with "A Clockwork Orange". Strangely it looked a lot like the 70's. Although he was spot-on with CDs (only they're smaller in ACO).
I predict in 20 years that things will be very similar to how they are now only manufacturing processes will improve the aesthetic appeal of everything.
and doing it for *free* (to their existing paid customers).
I think it's great that a software vendor is actually abiding their own EULA, that in essence, you are buying a software license and not the physical product.
"Integer Madness" That's going into my vocabulary. Not sure when I'd use it, but...
They were working out the amount of people who were going to care about having a processor choice on the same board compared to people who will just buy the board that supports the processor they want and suddenly it turned into integer madness.
Secondly, he is showing how Linux is portable. The PPC versions run just as well as x86. So now people can say "But how do you know it works on Mac platforms?"
Actually, I read the article (days before the Slahdot post). He is using PPC to keep Linux portable. He says in the article that too much work is being done solely on x86, that not enough work on alternative platforms is being done.
I've not read too much about what Linus actually does for a living (it seems to change every few years) but I can guarantee he's been paid to make Linux run on exotic hardware.

Finally, some people would raise the question of "overclocking", which has become pretty "mainstream" amongst PC users. When you overclock, you know you're playing with the safety margins that have been validated in the factory. It's your choice, but it's pushing your luck...
In most situations it is not economical to produce multiple products. There's actually no difference in VHS and SVHS tapes, I learned around 93-94 that a simple mod was all it took. However the general concept at the time was that SVHS tapes were better quality than VHS tapes. That's simply not true. Within each genre of anything you will find varying degrees of quality.
Most CPUs are designed to run at a certain clock rate and then they are tested, ones that do not pass testing to run reliably at higher clock rates are sold as a slower speed. The tests they run to determine this are what is important. The CPUs that Intel or AMD or Motorola or IBM are selling are just as likely to be going into a government system as into a home PC. Once again, it's not economical to have 2 different products, it's much cheaper for a company to buy one lot of CPUs at a fixed price and change the clock rate than to be stuck with too many high end or too many low end.
Having said that DVHS is reminding me of DAT. Someone somewhere will find a use for it (like DAT did in recording studios) but for the most part, the VHS format is dead.
Why would apple computers be so much slower than PC computers? I understand there is some heated arguments over this, but I am really looking for an answer. Do you think I need to update to the latest version of OS X?
You'd have to describe what you consider "fairly new". If the machines are not running Mac OS X Panther (10.3) then they need to be upgraded. There were a ton of optimisations done in the OS to take advantage of the G4's vector unit.
The G4 has run from 450 MHz to 1.67 GHz in Macs. The minimum usable amount of RAM in a Mac OS X setup is 256 MB but 512 MB will almost eliminate the usage of virtual memory for what you need. That may be why you are perceiving a speed difference in the G4s and XP machines. I have a friend with a 1.2GHz Celeron laptop and my 700 MHz G3 iBook does everything faster, including launch Microsoft Office.
Kids are much more impatient than adults, I find your assertion that games run faster on the Macs than on the PCs but non-taxing software such as a web browser and "office applications" open slowly very peculiar. I have a Dual 2 GHz G5 and if I install or remove fonts Word takes forever to load while it is "optimising the font menu" after that, relaunches are near instant.
Now look at the target market. People who want cheap ass computers. Are they even going to be doing any kind of content creation? If so they probably need a better computer anyway.
To the best of my knowledge the MPEG 2 standard has not changed in the last 10 years. Ten years ago we were using 133MHz Pentium MMX and 120 MHz 604. So, you are telling me that content creation cannot be achieved on a 1.25 GHz G4?
I would think that they would have learned after everyone and their mother tried to copy the iMac with no success.
Because in the end it still runs Windows. I've said lots of times that Apple is a solutions provider. It's end to end, turtles all the way down. You get the great box as an extension to the OS.
