I remember the dialup modems that were supposed to revolutionize mutliplayer console gaming for the 16-bit super nintendo and sega genesis. Maybe this time it will actually succeed?
What I would like to see is a gaming console with a built in Cable/DSL gateway router.
Houston, Philly, Detroit...maybe you've heard of those? They are much larger than Phoenix and don't have a digital theater. Next time read what I wrote before responding.
How is it that a theater in Arizona and one in Kansas get a digital projector before many of the much larger markets? Anyone from either of these towns have any information on these theaters?
The article does a pretty good job of emphasizing the point that technology has changed our lives dramatically, and will continue to do so at a continuously accelerating pace. The article fails to address the ethical and moral dilemmas that will surely accompany the technologies that develop. While I'm by no means a particularly religious person, I can't help but think that people will be touched by the moral and ethical issues surrounding upcoming technologies long before the technologies are available. Consider the issue of human cloning, which has yet to be achieved and is frequently discussed on moral and ethical grounds. Genetic enhancements in sports are already being discussed even though the most pessimistic forecasts don't believe it will be an issue until at least 2008. Anyone who wants to address the issues of life-changing technologies in an article such as this ought to at least address the topic culturally as well as technically.
If I'm not moving it and clicking it with my hand, then what part of my body _am_ I using?

Spyware Fights Back

· Score: 2, Interesting
If they can uninstall anti-spyware during the installation process, what is to stop M$ IE from uninstalling netscape when you install it? I can't believe that someone else thought of this idea first?
We know that in the current environment, viruses aren't really all that damaging. Every time a new virus comes along, experts warn everyone that it is the most potentially destructive one ever, and blah blah blah. Then the virus never seems to catch on, the effects are minor, and all is quiet until the next major 'scare'.
The question is, are the experts overhyping the potential dangers, or are the dangers reduced as a result of their making the public aware of the virus and its potential for harm?
The toys went on sale yesterday at midnight, a month before the movie is released.
Spoiler footage will be aired on FOX during a showing of Empire Strikes Back this week (Thurs night).
Rumor has it that at least one person was shown Ep 2 (an early version) at the SXSW film festival in Austin a month ago (see earlier/. story).
Lucas is clearly trying hard to atone for his mistakes, but the real issue is whether AotC sucks as bad as tPM. I believe the hype machine will be successful in generating a ton of ticket sales on opening weekend. The question is whether fans will go again and again because the movie recaptures the magic of the original trilogy.
"The author of the reporter alleges that programs like Star Wars and the like would basically turn LEO into a 'wasteland' for satellites for decades or even centuries."
The article actually said that if other countries responded to programs like Star Wars by dumping tiny bits of space junk (gravel, marbles, or the like) to destroy satelites, causeing more space junk and destroying more satelites, etc, etc then the result would be a LEO wasteland. Putting a satellite in orbit doesn't necessarily increase space debris. Attacking satellites in orbit, on the other hand, does.

"AMD's demonstration featured "Hammer" running both a 64-bit Linux and 32-bit Microsoft® Windows® operating system. The AMD "Hammer" processors were manufactured on 0.13 micron, Silicon on Insulator (SOI) technology, which together enable higher performance and lower power consumption."
So Intel's 64-bit processor built on a.13 micron process still doesn't work, yet AMD showed theirs almost 2 months ago!
What problems does the dept. of commerce see with this bill? It would be nice to have uniform standards, similar to how credit card info is protected by law.
The movie showed in Austin for about 1 weekend. I wanted to get together with some friends to see it and by the time we got organized, it wasn't playing anymore. It's good to see a review so I can decide whether to get it on video...
Looks like AMD will only be producing flash memory within the united states now. I have some friends who work at the Austin FAB and I know that their future is uncertain. RIP Duron, long live the Hammers!
Didn't the makers of this pill see the XFiles episode where the military was doing experiments with sleep deprivation on soldiers? They succeeded in developing a procedure that eliminated the need for sleep, but unfortunately the subjects went psycho after a while.
The last thing the world needs is thousands of delusional psychopathics geeks!!!
I wish it weren't true, but it is. At least on windoze machines.
Getting excited about an announcement like this is like cheering about the flight attendants serving free alcoholic beverages on your plane that's going down in the middle of the ocean.
The spirit of the internet is alive and well, it seems. Google isn't charging for their API, ID released the source to Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Now, if only yahoo would announce that their pay for POP access was only a cruel April fools joke???
But what about other pollutants. It isn't as if CO2 is the most harmful of fossil fuel products. What about carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulates?
Who's gonna pay for these plants to be constructed and operated??
"Your father's light saber. The weapon of a jedi night."
The force is great and all, but if you are going to try and link Star Wars to King Arthur, you should definitely focus on the "swords". If Luke is Arthur, then I suppose Obi-wan would be Merlin, or would that be yoda? Who would Darth Vader be? Mordred?
If you had read the article, you would have known that this guy was mentally ill with a personality disorder, which among other things contributes to a lack of sexual drive. I doubt he would have contributed to the gene pool anyway. If they put him on antidepressants, it would have only exaggerated that part of the problem.

I can't wait to try it out. The phone company gets way too much of my money for far too little service.

Just when we'd solved the CO2 emissions problem.
Now we'll have to figure out how to deal with the byproducts of hydrogen combustion. Ack, dihydrogen monoxide, head for the hills!!!
