Stop flattering yourselves! Why the fuck would "the government" be interesed in what you see? Especially since the image is 10*10 pixels, and the transmitting radius is 25mm (or 1 inch). To spy on you, "they" would have to be right next to you, and if they were, well, why the hell would they want to see stuff through your eyes? Why not just look themself?
And before you start with the "but they can read your monitor from across the street", try powering that monitor of yours with the batteries that come with the camera. The transmitter in the camera doesn't consume nearly as much energy as any kind of monitor.
Is this a middle-click thing feature of Windows browsers, too?
Both Opera and IE turn the mouse cursor into a scroll-arrow. I like it, but IE's version always scrolls either too slowly or too fast. I can control Opera's scrolling much better...
Shift-click is "open in a new window" and ctrl-shift-click in Opera is "open in background" i.e. it opens the page in a "pop-under"
Also, what happens when the browser crashes? Does it take down all your tabbed sites with it?
As an Opera user I can say: Yes, it does take every tab with it, but when you restart the browser, it will ask do you want to continue browsing from where you were before the crash.
At least I got a black page. After switching the background off, it didn't open the screenshot. Haha, you can't see the screenshot of the Linux version without IE. (Okay, so I didn't try any other browsers...)
This suit is kind of like the RIAA saying: "Please boycott listen4ever.com. Oh you won't? See you in court, then."
So if this goes through, is it all right for people in USA to walk on the streets gathering names for some petition and sue all the people who don't sign it?
I was much more impressed with the screen shots of Dragon's Lair 3d, not because of the polygons it's pushing, but because it looks like the most realistic attempt yet at imitating the cell animation look in 3d
Holy crap. Now THAT is what I call cell shading. Real outlines, no "kinda 3d shaded" -look. Just flat colors. The animation is a little too smooth to look hand-animated, but otherwise the game looks impressive.
URLs of individual images can apparently be obtained by going to the google cache and copying the url of the link to the sub-page, and substituting the word "pages" in the url with "images" and "asp" with "jpg".
Leaping from tree to tree, as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia! The larch! The redwood! The mighty Scotch pine! With me best girl by me side, as we sing, sing sing!

I can think of one possible reason that probably around 0.000000001% of the people who mod their PS do so.
Time for another useless fact: If every person on Earth owned 1000 Playstations, and had modded every one, and the quoted statement was true, then about 0,6 Playstations would have been modded using this reasoning.
Everybodu knows that a "real" gigabyte is 1024*1024*1024 bytes, or 1073741824 bytes, while a "hard drive" gigabyte is 1000000000 bytes. If you put 3 60 "real" gigabyte platters together, you get 193273528320. That is close enough to 200. Especially if you insret some marketing-speak there to fill the 7 remaining gigabytes.
Of course, the 60 gigabyte platters are "hd" gigs, so you are really getting 167 "real" gigs, but who's counting...
Ahahaha! I get it. Wheany -> whiny -> whiner. Oh man that is original, you are such a comedian, have you considered touring stand-up joints?
-Everybody please give a big hand to Corporate troll <applause> -Take my wife, please <laughing> -There is this guy whose nickname is "Wheany" that writes to Slashdot. The name is very appropriate, because he whines a lot. <rimshot> <laughing> -The other day I made a Beowulf cluster of old 486 computers I had laying around. Yeah, it was great, except someone had poured hot grits into one of them and when I tried to find pictures of petrified Natalie Portman on the web, my browser insisted on going to http://goatse.cx. <gasp> -Can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of those! <laughing> -Yeah, "All your picture of Natalie Portman are belong to us" <laughing><standing ovation> -Thank you, thank you, you've been a great audience!
I think I see the pattern here. If there are several anything anywhere, possibly with Linux involved somehow, a lame Beowulf cluster joke is on topic.
So that would make any computer that has ever run linux a Beowulf cluster of atoms, right? Am I being funny yet?
What Slashdot needs is a Beowulf cluster of funny Beowulf cluster jokes. Or preferably a Beowulf cluster of silence in place of those Beowulf cluster jokes, because there really aren't enough funny Beowulf cluster jokes to make a Beowulf cluster. Hey, you know what, this post is a Beowulf cluster of the words "Beowulf cluster"
Or maybe because all the shitty stuff from way-back-then has already broken, and only the quality stuff remains. That way we only have evidence of old quality stuff. That doesn't mean only quality stuff was made.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Don't sink to their level.
Slashdot requires me to wait 2 minutes between each successful posting of a comment to allow everyone a fair chance at posting a comment.
It's been 1 minute since I last successfully posted a comment
You have lost the bandwidth, but you have not been annoyed yet. To many people that is more important.
Please post one example of a steamy email you have gotten. You can remove any personal information, if you want.
Oh yeah, they are not stressed: "Oh my, I'm going to meet God in just a few hours, ohboy ohboy ohboy!"

to bad the link got broke up but just copy-n-past it
Or you could have added the following text around the url: <a href="URL"> link text here </a>
The effect would have been something like this:
link text here
And on the front page, with just one story in between. This has to be a record...

The real world doesn't work like the Matrix. Those damn shells travel at several hundred meters to kilometers per second. Dodge that!

I liked you better when you said I was a whiner. I can't stay mad at you...
But Beowulf cluster jokes still suck by default.
What, so that wasn't funny? I used all the classics.
