I hope you're joking there. Paper may absorb some carbons, but I doubt it would even be noticable. Plus it will only do it once. A real living tree will continue the process for al long as it lives. Better off recycling and saving trees.
Dumping paper in the ocean? Paper isn't just pure pulp you know. It contains chemicals to.
Y'know....You could probbably turn this in to a gambling sport, like the races or something. Good if you're a geek to, 'cause it's predictable. Unlike, y'know, horses, or cats....Or whatever they race these days.
As much as I like/. It's editorial are a complete joke. If this was any other site, they'd atleast correct the completely false title, if not remove the dupe that shouldn't have been there in the first place.
But the iTunes and iPod combo simply works to. Infact, it works even better for most people, becasue they don't have to muck around copying things over when they rip a new album.
I honeslty don't get your argument about featurism or "grand unified vision of music management" Itunes is a simple, easy to use player, that syncs with your iPod. The only difference between it at what you do is that iTunes does it automacticly.
Question. Have you ever use iTunes and an iPod before?
It's almost as if you're afraid of these managment systems. Which is ironic becasue that's what your filesystem is anyway.
Funny but true. Wonder how long it will be before the first kid blows the hell out of his peers because he feels his life is in shatters because he has a huge debit courtesy of the RIAA.
It's times like these where if the RIAA HQ got firebombed, and no one was hurt, then I'd acctually laugh. But of course, in the long run, it's not right.
No shit. But lets be realistic here. If someone has a grudge and really want to kill you, a gun is more practical, it's easlier to use, more reliable, and you have a better chance at getting away with it.
Oh, and an empty cruise missile is going to do about as much damage as a car crash. Where the hell did you get the idea that this guy intends do give away plans on how to build a working warhead for this "cruise missile". Because that's the hardest part.
If someone is already capable of building something as powerfull as the warhead in a cruise missile, then the delivery device is the least of your problems.
Shouldn't there also be a thoughtful you who realizes that a FUCKING MISSILE built with those instructions could be used against you, by anyone from real terrorist, to disgruntled rocket model enthusiast whose dog you ran over a year ago, to some (probably slashdot-posting) wacko; read the posts in this thread - a bunch are already jumping up and down with glee wondering how cool it'd be to own one of these - and i'm deeply worried that some were NOT 100% kidding
Well. I hope like hell you don't live in the USA. Because they let people carry guns! Infact, they have one of the highest gun rates in the world! Imagine that! Some wacko could just break into you house an shoot you, and then run off!
The thing is, in this case, they guy isn't selling "bullets" with his plan for a "gun".
Of course. In true slashdot style, they still aren't using a stylesheet, and still not hover colours! Hover gives user feedback.
Personaly, I's just leave link colors alone (except add a hover color), especialy since purple is a common vistied-link color. It's not like we'd miss much. But I have to say, the logo does look a lot geekier with the plasma-glow.
Yeah, but it has no touchscreen, and the screen doesn't swivel around, so it's not really a tablet PC, which is what I was wanting.
About the keyboard. I had a Jornada 680. It was prolly smaller than this. But I could type reasonably well. Certinaly not like a normal laptop, but good enough for small amounts of typing.
Yeah. This laptop looks really neat since most tablet PCs are quite large. Just add a touch-screen and I'd consider getting one...If didn't have a damned camera attached to it!.
It may work for some people. But not me. I've always been interesting in wireles cameras (for RC vehicals etc). But if I ever get into it. I will never get it from them. Hell, I'll never visit their site, because I don't want to show support.
Just be glad you're in the UK and not in some little island down-under. I doubt this thing will ever get to NZ.
Ah well, the songs aren't quite cheap enough to entice me yet anyway.
Yeah Baby! We don't need Windows anymore! Consider me switched!

Patents? Doubt it. I think this is more in the relm of elitism....As in "I'm and artist....You fool. You could never understand the deeper meaning and genius of my work!"
Oh yeah....Film is real cheap. Just ask you local studio how much money is spend on film alone, for your average movie. I don't have any figures, but I remember it's a huge about....Deffinitly not cheap at all.
As for resolution. Film has never been infinite or anywhere near close. And never will be. Those crystals aren't that small, and pretty soon digital will probably overtake it.
I know what anarchy means. It is the absense of authority, and it implies either disorder or death.
It does not imply disorder or death--that's chaos. It implies self-order. Authority of course, being the main cause of abuse.
Prehaps you are using a fantasy defintion put forth by self-proclaimed "anarchists". (They are better called "libertarian socialists", which at least makes plain the impossibilities of their goal)
Anarchism has been around for a long time. They invented the deffinition. It's the deffinition you're using that's the wrong one. The reason that alot of anarchists call themselves libertarian socialists is to avoid being sterotyped like the way you have--that they are all primativists or chaos causing, bomb throwing terrorists.
Oh, do you have examples of any other form of anarchism ever occuring?
Most anarchists are social anarchists. And yes. Span was doing well with anarcho-syndicatism (a social anarchism) before Hitler and his buddies decided to rain on the parade. There are other examples if you do a little googling.
Open sourse software is also a good example of anarchist ideas (mutual aid, self-orginisation).
Even pro-"anarchist" writers admit [geocities.com] that no such system exists today.
So, they also admit that it has been sucessful before, and that it can happen again (except if people like you keep holding socity back).
Since you linked to that FAQ. You should have a good understanding of what it is. So even though you may think it will never work. Surely you must know that anarchists don't advocte tribalism and that anarchism certianly isn't a "lower" system that people would revert to, as a kind of backwards step, as you implied in your original post.
It may take a while, even 1000 years (if we haven't nuked ourselves). But society will eventually turn into an anarchist-like society, simply because it's ideas make logical sence if you bother to study them properly.
I only saw a comparison between men on small screens and women on large widescreens. Perhaps I missed them address this when I read the article, but it's something to consider.
I'm afraid you did miss the them, because it said that on the smaller screens, men did better, but when they moved to larger screens, the were equal.
Wrong. All GUIs use spatial awareness. If you had an OS that rearranged your icons, the postion of menus, size and position of you windows, etc, each time you used your computer, you would find it very hard to use.
Do a google search for "MacOS GUI spatial orientaion" if you want to know more.
Your keyboard also uses spatial awareness, even if you're the hunt'n'peck type.
This, however, is different to what the research was about. It seems men are better at abstracting the 3D space. Weather this also means that if you placed computer screens upside-down, that men would do better at coping with it, I don't know.
Slashdot Mirror
I usaly wouldn't reply to such a stupid comment, but I feel I need to since it's been modded up.
BTW. Why don't you?

Correction: Slashdot would be tearing them apart.
If you mean that, like, in the way of a bad acid trip, then I guess you're right.
Have you seen Longhorn?

Don't worry, the US is already "liberating" us from a free-trade deal because of our prime-minister's "regrettable" opinion on the war ;)

There is more danger from someone filling a small Cessna or an R/C plane up with explosives, or even a regular car bomb.

Because some songs need to be listened to many times before you appreciate them? That's hard/annoying to do on a 30 second clip.

Licences are $1000 and you save time, money and effort. Even the geek effect isn't worth it this time.

I'm not saying Tivo is evil. But I'm sure you get my point. Besides. Not all of us live in the USA.
