The government is not allowed to seize my computer for their purposes.
Second Life's clevering marketing of the term "residents" has dupped many into believing that Second Life has 2.4 million users. Residents is a reference to number of characters created.
This was one area where Superman Returns impressed me. There's a plane falling from the sky uncontrollably and Superman grabs onto the end of the wing, sure enough, the wing breaks off. Saving the plane, while not destroying it and killing everyone on board was a real mental exercise for Superman.
Unfortounetly, the way he did end up stopping the plane was also improvable. He ends up at the nose of the plane, pushing against it, stopping it in the film. However, in reality, it would be like stopping a watermelon with a needle. What would happen? The needle would puncture the melon. Ditto for the superman / plane scene.
So this Japenesse professor is actually...

Huh? It's normal to barge into private premises, arrest people for no reason and siege their property? In a totalitarian government, ya... But I don't think that's the kind of system that is running in Sweden.
The ability to turn off articles written by John Dvorak. The stuff he writes is just completely outrages beyond comprehension. What has Dvorak done that deserves his articles to front index news on Slashdot?
the concept of driving to the store to buy a plastic disc with data on it and driving back and popping it in the drive will be ridiculous
That day came and went 5 years ago for me. I'm a gamer and I've purchased all my computer games online since 2001. I've not stepped in a gaming store since then. The plastic disc comes to me, instead of me going to it.
The article does not say why a content owner would want to upload their stuff to google. What does google base do different than what google search engine does?
It gets 50 million page views a day and it's up to a 13+ million post count, with at least 1 million registered users. Is Slashdot not proof that MySQL has scalability?
They could have a version of T'Pol enter and find herself horrified to see that there's a universe where she's just a sex object with emotions and pointy ears and not a regular crew member, a scientist, and a practicing emotionless vulcan.
Sooo... she wasn't a sex object already?

Why not say:
Your battery-operated tooth brush will over-stress its plastic gears.
Flashlights burn out quicker.
Camera flashes let you take more bad family photos quicker than before.
And because you're now using the latest technology, you will even imagine that your portable music player sounds richer than ever.
These new batteries produce 1.7 volts, instead of 1.5 volts. This is not necessarly a good thing though. If you read the battery requirements for numerous devices, they state specifically what kind you should be installing in your electronic device. For example, my cordless mouse states 1.5v AA batteries. Now inserting these new Panasonic 1.7v AA batteries, is probably not going to kill it outright, but it is pumping more current in my mouse than what the engineers at Logitech designed it for. The additional current produced from the 1.7v AA battery will cause the mouse to fail, sooner rather than later. This applies to all other electronic devices, as the parent post pointed out (i.e. flashlights burning faster / toobrush plastic gears been over-stressed).
Longer lasting batteries are a good thing. Batteries that break standards are not.
I'm surprise that no one has spoken up and pointed out that Moore's law has not been true for the past few years. In 2003, I purchased a P4 3.06ghz, which I'm using right now to type this message. 2005-2003 = 2 years. Where are the 6.12ghz machines?
"Well, it's not about hertz, it's about perforamnce!"
Judging from benchmarks, the current top of the line CPUs are not twice as powerful as my P4 3.06ghz. Sooo... anyone care to explain how Moore's Law is still been used?

From the article:
Mark MacKay, owner of the WOW Gold Price List website, has condemned this practice...
Gee... I wonder why? It's like a drug seller condemning the law against the possession of illegal drugs.
No. It is not.

Perhaps the news submitter ment to use the term spyware?

Isn't that what good parenting is for?
The news post is misleading by only noting that it's an RSS reader. Google Reader also reads Atom feeds. As per the FAQ: http://www.google.com/help/faq_reader.html#rss

Yes, yes it is.
That means 1 out of 10 astronauts will get cancer, in that case, send 9! Problem solved. Or, simply send astronauts that already have cancer!
Someone had to say it.

Hardly has that video been lost. Slashdot's favorite pundit writer, Robert X. Cringely, put together a documentary a few years back called "Triump of the Nerds". In the documentary, the video linked in this news story, appears in it's entirety.
