So, if I really want to meditate, I'm not allowed to have a good reason for doing it? What bullshit. Everyone who has ever started yoga or any other kind of spiritualism has done it to get something back. Thats the whole point.
Robots are super expencive. Maybe they're ideal to replace expencive union jobs in the auto industry, but just imagine how long it would take to recoup the cost of replacing 15 minimum wage employees. Not to mention the fact that now you have to employ new workers with actual SKILLS to repair the robots. It just doesn't seem cost effective at all.
and I suspect it tells businesses is that if I sell blueberry harvesting equipment which is unique to the field of blueberry farming, I don't need to nesecarily spend big bucks advertising on some big farming website when I can farm on a smaller cheaper more effectively.
It makes sense from a business point of view. The best way to make money is to sell to people who always have money to buy stuff. Who are these people? The rich people. When the economy takes a dump, the rich people are still rich.
Actually I think its the black keyboard that clashes the most. At my old job, my boss has a wooden table with a black finish on the surface that looks pretty nice. You might want to try some spray paint:)
From cellular telephones to console video games to Operating systems. Is there anything they don't make?
Also, the microsoft phones sucking isn't a big surprise. Microsofts M.O. seems to be to release complete crap, get everyones expectations lowered, and when they finally get a good prodcut 5 or 10 years down the road, everyone says look how far they've come!
The problem is that when you sell a commodity like a TV or a vcr and the only difference between them is price you can't exactly maintain a high profit margin. What they need to do is obfuscate the prices so that its next to impossible to compair products. Thats how cell phones work.
This phone has 500 any time minutes for 3 cents a minute from your calling area roaming is 10 cents a minute, unlimited text messaging, 800 night and weekend minutes is free for the first 6 months and has rollover.
This other phone has 1000 minutes for 2 cents a minute but with out rollover and text messaging costs 1 cent per message, night and weekends are free but don't start till 9pm.
See its not exactly easy to just look at the plans and see which one is the better plan.
Copy protection only works in systems that have been designed from the ground up to be copy protected.
Any video or audio that is decodeable on a PC can be hijacked from that same PC.
The only way to protect your data is to control the hardware. The only reason DVDs are hard to copy is because you can't get a DVD-r that has the same capacity.
the MPIAA is in a much better situation compared to the RIAA considering cd audio is already good enough, that consumers don't really feel the need to switch to a higher quality version of the CD. Where on the other hand, DVDs are much better than VHS tapes, and have the added benefit of being harder to copy.

Hah, I can just picture people sitting with their brows furrowed trying to FORCE THOSE DAMN THOUGHTS out of their heads.

Seems to me that you could do temporary tatoos just using special ink with this same device.
Couldn't you just zip the image or do something that uses RLE to get rid of the empty space?
On that note, I think java is a really neat technology. I'd like to see more of it. I just hope MS doesn't kill them with that .NET crap.
That seems like alot of improvements for such a smal point update.

Actually, its an image.

You slashdotted bugzilla.n dex.html?id =23679

Pshaw, I could do all that in plain html :)
what kind of dumbasses wouldn't use their own Servers to serve their own services?

I always assumed that they just licensed the hardware. I can't imagine that there is anyone at Redmond designing mice.
Read the article. Or just skip to the last two paragraphs.
Surely you mean Mac OS 9 old chap.
How about an actual technical solution?

Maybe now Santa will return some of my emails!

Doc: One point twenty-one gigawatts. One point twenty-one gigawatts. Great Scott.
Marty: What the hell is a gigawatt?
Doc: How could I have been so careless. One point twenty-one gigawatts. Tom, how am I gonna generate that kind of power, it can't be done, it can't.
Marty: Doc, look, all we need is a little plutonium.
Doc: I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available at every corner drug store, but in 1955, it's a
little hard to come by. Marty, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you're stuck here.
And this it why:

Yeah, like I said, its pretty much no big deal. I'm sure sooner or later there will be an update from softwareupdate to fix it.
Except that this exploit is over the copper ethernet. in which case, just look at the back of your airport :)
Also, I'd suggest doing a ping instead of iChat, it would go faster.
