It'd probably be quite interesting to put some 9V batteries in serial, lean back onto something metallic, press the detonator button and watch the effect on the other passengers on the subway/bus. If they get upset and tries something involving grabbing the jacket, just hit the button again.
What do you mean by "LCD screen"? The fashionable end user wants a toaster, according to the post which you were replying to. Thus, if you want to be as fashionable as the average end user and still run linux on it, you'd probably want to get yourself one of these linux toasters.
... so basically the RIAA have found themselves a sales channel into the black market, where the money goes directly into their pocket without losing anything to the actual artists. Interesting way to:
I experienced this, but only in redhat 8.0. Since I switched to mdk9.1, it stopped. I was using the same version of mozilla in both distributions.
Another thing happening to me in rh8 was that when erasing text in a textbox in mozilla, it didn't stop erasing text when i release the backspace button. It was like mozilla was slower than my keyboard repeat rate, and the keyboard buffer was filling up. This does not happen in Mandrake 9.1 either.
Maybe this article is part of a hidden message of some sort. The presence of this post among the articles could mean "1", and the abscence would BE A GREAT RELIEF! Please stop posting it!
I think I sense a business strategy here.. If enough dupes are published, the slashdot effect is prolonged, thus the guys not paying the subscription fees will never be able to read the article. Damn, I'm good! Or paranoid..
It has already been done. I remember playing some kind of 3D PacMan on my 386 back in early -90. I don't remember the name, but it was made using 4 color CGA. You walked around in a non-textured 3D maze eating circles on the floor, hoping not to run into an ugly looking ghost. The reason you didn't want to do that was mainly because some annoying, squeaky tune would start playing from the internal speaker if it caught you. Other than that, the game sucked:)
I'm not convinced that creating quality code = doing it slowly. Especially if the code has to be maintained or made to fit another project. Clean code combined with a good design tend to be easier to create, use and maintain. At least, that's my experience.
prototype?

Squeak is an interpreted language similar to Smalltalk. Could be ssslooooww.
Since the article is slashdotted, this comment might come out as a RTFA comment, but anyway:
Is the 3D desktop meant to be a proof-of-concepts or a real product? If the system i slow due to this Squeak, perhaps it could be translated into somthing that compiles?
I think the ideas for new market segments for wearable gadgets are going way out of proportion. How would this generate money? The buyer is dead, for crying out loud!
(2) You have to be incredibly stupid to believe or even speculate that this (mis)ruling is somehow good for computer owners.
Although it said "very bad news", which implies there is something bigger going on than merely something bad. So incredible stupid is maybe a bit harsh, albeit perfectly in line with the general level of bitch-slapping in slashdot comments:)

Or maybe not.
There's a partition that never will be full..
Also, the thin-foiled wallet should really match the thin-foiled hat that keeps brain-waves from leaking out in the universe.
Here I thought that installing windows on an antfarm would make it easier to spot them bugs.
Awww, nevermind.
Is this an unary question?
a) what?
Heh, that was quite funny!

Um.. Ok, maybe it wasn't that funny.

The hacker could be sitting next to you and hold SHIFT+PrntScrn down and eventually create a DOS-attack by filling the harddrive with screenshots.
Workaround: Keep your lights on to spot the hacker.

Here I thought the patterns-in-primes thing was already solved by Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey..
With the gadgets getting smaller and more communicative, maybye we're asymptotically getting there eventually? ;)
Oh, finally an explanation for why J Lo is selling records. The military must be buying it.

I asked something like this, a while ago. There were some good answers attached to it, some which might be of interest.

A nice and insightsful comment. I'd certainly mod you up if I had any points.

If it's hard to write it should goddamn be hard to use! ;)
Wouldn't reporting a browser to be MSIE raise the percentage of IE browsers in the server logs? That's not something I want to happen.
