This does not fit our general characterizations of the man.
How can we reconcile this seeming incongruity? By adopting the following reasoning: "$20 million for a building?! People on this planet are still starving to death! The ego!"

Seriously. It's fucken ugly. There's a reason more manufacturers out there aren't investigating clear perspex. Computer insides are not aesthetically pleasing.
So the next time you're thinking about modding your boxen stop and say to yourself: "Can I do better than simply dumping my computer's insides into a fish tank?"... The answer, if you're wondering, is a resounding yes.
What is so hard about referring to things in a new way?
Are you serious? I mean for real? The words "master" and "slave" are perfectly acceptable english words.
The historical events that such words may call to mind, are just that, events. That is not to say that the events are of little importance, not at all.
But these words are not implicitly problematic.
But why just roll over and eviscerate language whenever instructed?
Sure it's [not] so hard, but it bears a little examination first wouldn't you think.
There seems to be a whole buncha people complaining that this is the death of art, blah blah blah, as we know it.
CG does not mean that all animation will be 3D/look the same. It's just a new set of tools, practices allowing the artist to work with greater efficiency and a better palette.
Maybe we should go back to filming flip-book drawings if this advancement is so universally reviled.
This is how it works (I have my sources. Don't question me!):
* You pay your 500 clams
* You take your monitor home and out of the packagaing
* It collapses in on it self, all black-hole-like
The reason there are no photos of it, obviously, is because it isn't human viewable. And now, a word of advice: Stand the fuck back when it collapses 'cos that things has some serious gravitational pull!
This has been a public service announcement. Thankyou.
Surely there's plenty of other day-to-day goings on that could be enhanced by self administered electro shock therapy!

The only problem here is lack of vision. Electric shocks for the masses. Dance people, dance!!!

I'm pretty sure autonomous operation is of utmost importance to DARPA. On goes the tinfoil hat but: PHASE 1: 'navigate on its own over a 250-mile desert course in less than 10 hours.' PHASE 2: Transform into robot-humanoid form. PHASE 3: Identify targets. Lock. Fire. (PHASE 4: Profit!)
The only question you've gotta ask is, in today's ambiguous political environment, who are the autobots and who are the decepticons?
Seriously, call me a troll, but would DARPA be interested in an autonomous vehicle capable of navigating desert terrain, without also considering coupling it with an autonomous weapon system? Or maybe I just spent too much time playing Command & Conquer back in the day.
Before everybody jumps on the bandwagon to castigate the slashdot editors for poor spelling has anybody considered the following:

That's right!. In the very near future Microsoft is to be known as MicroSoSoft. The new ad campaign will feature, among other things:

Slashdot Mirror
This thing is all well and good for English speaking markets but do they make different versions.
I'd like to see what the Russian language model looks like for instance.
Now anybody gonna lend me the money to make this happen :)

Well, I meant to hit Preview, but thanks to the damned lag between my LCD monitor and the mouse, it's ended up being Submit.
The technology uses a highly sophisticated camera that captures three images simultaneously through a single lens
Unfortunately the image cannot be viewed without Red+Blue 3D glasses.
Who knows; maybe it sounds like a Wil Wheaton role :)

Sen. Hatch is interested in technology to remotely destroy computers
Which is a little bit funny when you think about it.
Just how many people at one time or other (and come on now, be honest) haven't been interested in a technology to remotely destroy Sen. Hatch.
I know I'm not the only one.
Why stop at the XBOX?

The DVD they used was the latest Dana Carvey classic: "Master Of Disguise".
I've heard it's bad. Never seen it though.
