Please. Eva isn't hard to understand, its just stupid. I dunno, maybe if I was religious I would get more into it, but I'm not. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it. It was entertaining, but I don't think I would call it deeply insightfull or anything.
Ohh... This story is like some other story! Shocking!
Anyway, Eva was cool, but I wouldn't really call it a "mindfuck" unless you had a pretty fragile mind.
It was OK. Nothing special, not anywhere near Cowboy Bebop. Btw, do you really think the "emotions" in Eva were stronger then those in CB? For most people they probably wouldn't be, because CB builds characters you care about, while Eva just goes off on insain tangents.
Your bikes' frame may have bent a lot, then returned to its orgional shape. Titanium is very flexible and durable. What the orgional poster was saying that titanium isn't rigid. So it's not good when you don't want it to be bend ever (you would probably want a bike frame to be somewhat flexable, although I don't know)
Personaly, I like to think of it like buying a $400 dedicated jet-set radio future machine:). I really didn't want an Xbox, and I still don't. The thing is just ugly (and they were not kidding about the controller).
If you ask me, I think microsoft totaly missed their target market. Rather then going after adults, they targeted 14 year old boys who want to think that they are adults. Everything about the system is gaudy. From the adds to the controler (wtf is up with the giant X logo on the controler?)
I can't stand to write on paper. And if I did try to write something like that I'd have to spend more time trying to figure out what I wrote then the time it would take to write it:P
Hrm, If the SSSCA passes as is, it will dissallow "electonic digital" devices from being used without copy protection. But it dosn't say anything about optical digital devices:P
I have nothing against "intelectuals" but simply saying the "poincare conjecture" to me meas as little as "clitoris" probably means to you. It would help if they had had at least one or two sentances explaning what it was, or why it was important.
Hrm, I wonder what interaction these types of things are going to have with 'privacy' laws for cellphones. It used to be that you could get radio recivers that could listen to any freqency out there, but today they are restricted from listening in on cellphone conversations.
Would the advent of software radio bring that to an end, or cause DMCA style restrictions on radio-capable software?
Italics are from ther person who submitted the story, undecorated text is from the editor who put it on the page. Why is it so fucking hard for people to figure this out???
heh, there was nothing primitive about what they were doing. They were building the same kind of state of the art subs the Russian military uses for nukes. Except instaid of warheads, it was going to carry smack. Lots and lots of smack.
Great, this is just what we need. I'm a proponent of cloning. I say if you can do with with the same or lower error rate as naturual reproduction, great. But as far as I know, we can't (am I wrong). There are a lot of bugs to be worked out before we should be trying this on humans.
This girl is going to be fucked up, no doubt about it, and it's going to set back the feild of cloning by decades. (maybe that was his plan all a long?)
Oddly enough, I'm still not exactly sure what they were trying to do.
WTF? I realize that slashdot editors aren't known for being well-informed, but doesn't it bother anyone else that they seem to be flaunting their ignorance on the front page?
CT doesn't know what Lineo did. So what? He doesn't own an embedded systems company does he? He wasn't exactly their target market. What Lineo did is quite clear from their website, they were a service company that would help you put Linux on embedded systems.
So if you designed pda/mp3player/gps/whatever hardware and thought putting Linux on it would be a good idea, you would go to these guys and get them to hook you up for a fee. A couple years later, when you came out with a new model or something else or whatever, you'd go back. It's not that fucking complicated. And the fact that the 'average' slashdotter might not know what they do didn't matter, because they couldn't give a shit about you either.

Lets not forget ImageIO, XML stuff, Swing (slow, but cool), and Java2d.
When I first started programming in Java eight years ago, the industry was far different than today.
Oh my god. That was eight years ago!? Damn I feel old all of a sudden.
I thought the point of Taoism was to achive physical immortality through some kind of elixer.
The synopsis of epp26 was hilarious :P

it's still a cartoon that has big robots fighting each other :P
Big robots? Maybe you should watch it again, there are no robots in the show.
and only $6k in plane fairs!
You could also just go on that "internet" thing.
How exactly? Any time you do anything over HTTP, you can pretty much assume that it's going to be logged.

That's funny, my motherboard can support 256 USB devices. I think what they mean as that the mobo has a build in hub.
Most people won't use more then four or five USB devices. Whats really cool here is the firewire.
Dosn't CNN run their own, pretty popular IRC setup?

Anyway I have a test to study for.

I've got a bridge to sell him...

Hah, sa's 'professional' trolls. And they didn't even bother to get their own domain. You're an idiot.
Thanks for explaning what it is... or at least what it applies to/why it's important.

Redhat seems to be doing fine...
