Will the shoes talk to each other so that they adjust to the same settings? I foresee difficulty in getting your feet to handshake.
Why would you want to grow hair in your mouth? I know this is Slashdot but that's taking geekdom too far. Let's keep beards on the outside of the face, where they belong.
Thank you for this timely warning. I don't want to become homosexual so I will try to avoid using Mac OSX. Can you tell me exactly how much exposure to OSX causes gayness? Also, what OS can I then use in order to revert to heterosexuality if I do accidentally become exposed to OSX? I assume you are not an OSX user, judging by the very masculine and powerful way in which you use the caps lock key. Perhaps you could post a FAQ to answer these important questions. The sexual health of the Slashdot community depends on you.
So how does this improve over Google?
The domain is 4 characters shorter.
Otherwise, it's slower and packs less of the information I want into a bigger space. When will search engine providers figure out that people who are interested in particle accelerators may not want to buy one from Circuit City?
out of a non-semantic web. As units of language, sentences are still context sensitive, so this will very quickly get mired in throwing up offensive and inapropriate results. Imagine an article 'Man driven to suicide by music of Justin Timberlake' followd by 'Buy Justin Timberlake CDs on Amazon'.
Think about libraries, their limited inventory of books, possible royalty payments for authors, expensive real estate taken up by bookshelves for browsing, limited number of copies of each book, lost or damaged books, etc, etc - replace all that with a bunch of kiosks that could be located anywhere. Governments and academic institutions should be jumping on this bandwagon. I wouldn't be surprised to see some developing countries implement this first.
No more incompatible connectors, so we'll be free to experiment with daisy chaining a laptop to a mobile phone to an electric toothbrush to a banjo to a pneumatic otter crusher. Wait! Hold off on the otter crusher - we don't have a hot standby for that.
You have a point in that dubs are getting better. But having, in my misspent youth, spent many, many hours doing onion skin drawings, painting cels, working a rostrum camera - oh well, guess I'm just old fashioned. Having said that, Miyazaki's lip sync is as tight as everything else in his movies, and it's not just that the Japanese voices express emotion but that it's different emotion - less cloying, to my ears. But anyway - I used the word 'prefer' - I don't know why expressing a preference counts as a lame excuse.
I wish there were some way for these to be released through another studio - somehow the Disney association devalues them for me. But it's great news that the dual language DVD is coming out. I prefer to watch Miyazaki's movies in Japanese with English subtitles, rather than hearing voices which don't fit the characters, or lip-synch properly.
Seems to me that the screen of the average travel TV is not much bigger than a matchbox anyway. So maybe size is the only thing special about this - and how hard would it be to make a miniature projector with a halogen bulb and a DLP chip?
If this were to live up to the hype, they would have had to have made significant advances in both light sources and optics. I would have thought lasers were not the way to go as they'd be raster scanning so fast that the aggregate brightness of the image would be low - they don't persist like CRT phosphors, or have a constant light source behind each pixel as LCDs, plasmas and conventional projectors do. Or maybe it's just the projector that's small and it has a 48' solar collector light-piped into the back!
If you wear one of these, make sure you read the EULA. It'd be just like Microsoft to add rights limitations around the stored content. You don't want to get sued for copryright violation every time you look in the mirror.
Your life - DRM-ed.
Many years ago, the Beeb turned a generation onto programming with the BBC micro and associated courseware. They should be doing the same thing today with their own Linux distro.
Think also of the massive contribution to the technology of broadcasting made by the BBC. Using and developing Open Source software would build on that legacy for the 21st century. That's what I want my license money spent on - not on software taxes paid to the US.
I plan to add RFID tags to my new Shiteweiser beer so I can track its progress all the way from the brewery, through your bladder, to the ocean. If you register on one of my street corner RFID scanners, a sampled voice will boom out, 'Hey Buddy, you're full of Shite!' as you walk past. Now that's marketing.
To make up for the lack of front-panel mounted drinks holder, you can stir your coffe with your CPU. And if your hard drive sticks, you can stick it in your ear and lubricate it with some wax. Bad news when you lose the SQL server down the back of the couch though.
"OK, what's the pitch?" "Well, these alien Vogons destroy Earth so this English guy chases them across the Galaxy, destroys the Universe in revenge, and then learns the ultimate meaning of everything from some mice." "I like it - but we have to make some changes... Let's change Ford Prefect to Ford Pinto, Arthur Dent to Art Bump, Vogons to Russians (with English accents, the mice to Santa Claus, and the answer to the ultimate question is a big hug. Then the kid says, 'I love you Daddy'. Now that's a movie!"
Next generation consoles from Nintendo, Sony and, yes, Microsoft will be PowerPC. So, there's at least a slim chance of Longhorn for PowerPC. There won't be much pressure to run OSX on Intel if Microsoft switches platforms. All your Intel boxes would then be strictly Linux and Windows last generation.
It was a device to protect Janet from Tivo spying activity not, as I had at first assumed, a defence against orphaned suckling bats, or one half of a pair of spurs that had somehow slipped upwards.
'I believe that children are the future' or some such sap. Schools have boards of governors who are parents, that have influence over what the school does. Schools' IT budgets come from our taxes. So, isn't there some scope for an advocacy groups of IT-savvy parents to push Linux in schools through becoming governors or lobbying them, providing voluntary assistance, and identifying preferred suppliers?

Shouldn't the subject headers on that page be done with text rather than images?
I read that SCO may go after BSD. Since parts of Windows draw heavily on BSD, what are the chances of Microsoft being liable?
Governments hate the idea of open-ness.
