Yes, you are right, it should be enough for normal camcorder usage, only new camcorder use the extra pixels (IMHO) for tricks like picture stabilization. Top camcorder like JVC or Sony now how CCDs with 1.2M pixels
The problem with these hybrid devices is that that:
It's probably not the best laptop you want...
It's probably not the best camera around you want... (680,000 pixel CCD is not exactly top)
Instead of mixing these 2 devices together, I suggest just let those two device support some kind of wireless protocol (WiFi or something similar) so they can have the same functionality as this device, but they need not be connected to eachother physically...
Okay, it might add up a bit to the weight (extra battery pack for the 2nd device), but then, you don't need to carry the whole device in your hand...
In Holland the former CEO of Philips electronics (yeah light bulbs and shavers) is also charged with insider trading because he was involved with a business woman who knew her company would be sold.
I have an own domain, so when I give away my email address I just put the name of that website before the @ (at) sign. All mail is forwarded to my real e-mail address.
I noticed some time ago I received a lot of spam from musiccity@, an e-mail address I provided for the once-popular peer-to-peer network morpheus.
The funny thing is, I just redirected this e-mail address mail towards sales@musiccity.com. It helped!
The patent system is increasingly under abuse, and the US Patent office will allow anything through. It's past time for a revamp of the whole system, the removal of a lot of patents and make some areas un-patentable again.
Yeah, let's fight back with their own means by developing a new patent system and then applying for a patent on this system...
Please do not listen to anyone who gives you advise unless they know where you want to use your programming language for.
Personally, I use Tcl for shell scripts that tend to become too large or too complex. I think for parsing text files, Python but especially perl are also useful, although I have no experience in them.
If you some some extra interaction with the user than use Tcl/Tk, It's excellent at (fast) creating interactive applications.
Anyone that tell you, you cannot program large applications with Tcl/Tk don't listen to them. I've written 10.000+ lines of code Tcl/Tk programs (see here, unfortunately all in Dutch) and constructions like namespaces help keep your code clean.
Main problem in Tcl (with large programs) is that you have to track yourself what you put in variables, there's no way to enforce it (is it an array, a list, a list of array, a list of lists ?). But then again, you can circumvent that by using wrapping functions.
In addition these new features for subscribed readers, for the non-subscribed we will rename slashdot to cachedot as all the articles posted have been posted earlier for subscribers.
With new systems, they normally do shadow-mode testing: this means, running the new system with ATC controller behind it in parallel. After a while, the new system will become the default system and the old system is also run in parallel but now as backup system (with real ATC controllers checking if everything goes okay).
After a while, the new system is considered O.K. and the backup system is removed.
I don't think they do this with maintenance updates, but maybe they should consider it. Unfortunately, air traffic controllers are still rare and (not in the least) expensive.
Although I like on-line shooting myself, the problem with satellite-based internetting is that there is too much latency for games like Quake.
The round-trip delay is much longer (400-500ms according to this
website).
So, if you want to frag in your Boeing, you'd better start a 30.000 feet high LAN party...
Another advantage of broadband internet is that it is easy to share it with room-mates or neighbours. (even though it's not always allowed). It's a lot cheaper buying together one large broadband (ADSL or cable) internet connection than all using dial-up.
With the coming of wireless internet, it even becomes simpler to share the net (you don't even have to dig or drill a line in the ground or wall for your ethernet cable). I think this also has some impact on the decline of dial-up subscriptions.
Popfile can be installed as an intermediate between your mail-server and your program, and you can add tags to your mail to decide in which 'bucket' your mail belongs to.
I think this is a good reason why the term "Open Source" can be extremely misleading.
I see this happening more and more, and I'm really concerned with this. Although there is a perfectly acceptable definition of open source that already exist for years, you see microsoft (or the press) use this definition for microsoft's shared source definition, which does not allow changes to source and is completely different.
I think every (ICT) journalist should be aware of this, or otherwise it's our task to point them to this difference.
They haven't used anything better like togethersoft or visio.
I don't have experience with visio, but I thought it was based on rational technology. Anyone out there who knows that?
Together is supurb to rational with respect to backwards engineering. You can much easier adapt your source code and together will put these changes back in the design.
Friends of mine used rational rose under windows and the stability is horrible. The rational rose version for linux is even worse: They use some kind of windows simulation environment instead of supporting native linux interfaces. This means you have to install a "windows" printer to print and more of these nonsense.

It's fun reading!
See this if you read Dutch for details.
Point of this story in relation to the slashdot post: A missed opportunity for the defense who didn't claim he was from the future....

I miss tcl (or incr Tcl for OO)

Finally a way to store all my mpeg's...
Since the introduction of java, this argument does not hold anymore ;-)
Sorry, if this sounds like a flamebait, it wasn't meant so, but:
- Search with google.com for a suitable library (15 minutes).
- Program it in a few minutes
Okay, so still 15-20 minutes...Some languages are more focussed on specific tasks than others, so it takes less time to do it...

Neither does slashdot and typing courses
Red Hat is not the only distributor that uses .rpm's...
Just what we need, another technology that prevents a geek from having a girlfriend:
They now will not only print pictures of nice girls, they now also start stuffing them...
The url for the project is popfile.sourceforge.net
I didn't try it yet, but it I will try it really soon now!

Stop playing with time-shifting, and go out and play with the kids...
I'm gonna be rich...
I don't think the ships in the hudson river are that old (or there must be some viking ships?)

With respect to storyline across the different episodes it beats every SF series I've seen so far...
