** sure its not quite solid state, but close enough **
what? i'm all for people loving macs and all (nice sig btw, where's the site?) but is there any need to recommend an iPod to someone who favors a SOLIDfreakinSTATE device by saying a miniature hard drive is (paraphrasing here) close enough to solid state???
if anyone i knew told me to get an ipod because it's close enough to sold state, i would brand them a source to be immediately discounted when considering future hardware purchasing decisions.
need a ruggedized solid state device to take measurements while base jumping? use a powerbook with the included waist strap. it's not quite solid state, but close enough i think you'll find.
;)
for those who still don't get it, solid state, a device with no moving parts
Only on slashdot would riding a motorcycle with a laptop and wireless internet installed count as exercise...
next thing you know, river rafting with a cluster of notebooks running folding@home with a propulsion system of 120mm pana-flo fans will be extreme sports...
You know, having installed linux on my laptops (compaq cx1000 and vaio grt160) and moved on from APM to ACPI daemon, i've had excellent power management. i've got my prism2 based wlan cards working fine, and can use powermanagement fine (S1...).
You can even get custom DSDT's (Differentiated System Description Table, config info about the underlying system) for many laptops that have broken implementations (the bane of linux compatibility in most cases imo). It's not perfect yet, but it's come really far.
A good distro for seeing if bits and pieces work on newish laptops (read:after2001 or so) quickly is suse. i slap it on a 2 gig partition and see what happens.
although in the case of suse and many others until recently, centrino wlan was not doable
Speaking from personal experience, one of my great friends died last year and after his domain went down (has anyone though of that? whether your loved ones or others in the know who cared, would want to keep your site up, sort of as a memorial? something as simple as having the hosting companies and enough pertinent information on a paper with your other legal documents would be nice.) i found one of my old answering machines, from a few years ago.
you'd probably have to have personal experience, but just listening to your friends voice asking you to call call him back to help him get his cd burner working (heh) is a priceless thing when one you love is gone.
That pissed me the hell off!!! I'm in East LA area and the damn lakers caps don't mean half a shit to me. well, neither do the itunes ones either, well, i would have liked the choice.
honestly, what i'd do with a few mp4 tracks is beyond me though. with hundreds of cd's and their ripped analogues, i don't care for a few crippled or extra-effort tracks...
but yeah, distribution sucked majorly. that it's all ending now seems so anticlimactic, ending with a whimper...just like it ran...
uhm no, i think perhaps we're all reading this a bit differently. i doubt he means our country should act in a manner to look out for the best interests of other countries. but the reality is that we can't just look out for our own interests without taking other peoples feelings and regard for our actions into account, we live on a planet, that consists of many countries, some working with others for mutual benefit and some not.
that's the thing, we can work with other countries for everyones benefit, or we can act as if we are the only ones who are right (yeah, i'm sure the entire world is wrong but not us) and act unilaterally.
what's important though, is that even if you *do* feel that we're right and everyone else is wrong, the fact remains that we are but one country amongst hundreds. it behooves us to work with the rest of the world usually, not against.
if we do happen to have to go against the popular current, doing so in a manner reminiscent of a spoiled five year old strung out on amphetamines is not going to pay back any positive dividends tomorrow.
I will own this emerging massive modpoint role playing game yet!!!

You think *you* have it hard?! When i was a kid, we had to buy *actual* guns, and walk up hill *both* ways to school in the snow, in *india* in the summer *and* winter!!! just to kill a bunch of people i didn't know! And then we had to go to PRISON!!! AND WE WERE GRATEFUL!!!
People are such creatures of habit when it comes to things like daily news. Having a site unavailable even one day probably dents readership measurably.
i would personally think it wouldn't really dent readership for more than a day. Think about it, as a creature of habit, if slashdot (or some similar site that you've a habit of checking) was down today, besides googling like mad to try and find out who/.'d slashdot, we'd just check again later, or tomorrow...or more likely, every 5 minutes...
I also think that one of the best and easily repeated ways to net new readers, is to have constant exposure. If people end up at your site often enough because of a third party, they will probably eventually start checking your site of their own volition.
I'd actually consider it quite nefarious in a possibly unintended / unpublicized kind of repercussion way.
How would you feel if you and your buddies all got new phones eventually, new gadgets and new little smart-fobs...
only to wake up one morning to realize that you and everyone you know are carrying around at least one, possible more RFID tags / devices everywhere you go.
Any chance that other huge corporations will pick up on this and we'll see a fruckin HUGE push (through addon conveniences in large chain stores, grocery markets) to make these devices more popular?
wouldn't these tags have to be uniquely identifiable? even if you didn't use it to purchase anything with it per se, imagine the marketing data of knowing where in the store you walked, where you loitered and eventually when you left. I'm sure they could just see who (or what was bought, more innocently?) was standing at the checkout counter when your rfid # was detected there through rewards cards.
Be careful how something innocent that appears to be bearing fruits technological niceness can sneak other, possible more things requiring due concern into your life.

So, instead of pushing a button to automatically sync our devices, we'll just touch them. oh, ok, that's just lightyears ahead of anything we could *ever* do today...
Besides not having a damn thing to do with being a problem for bluetooth or wifi (do submitters read the articles? i thought we just didn't...) how is waving my phone at a movie poster going to buy me a ticket? Am i going to end up buying a bunch of cars, jackets and vietnamese girls when i walk downtown and go buy some food at a market? Sounds like i'll really have to configure it, go through a few dialogue boxes perhaps and do the usual thang i do today, as far as electronic device convenience goes. not to mention, it's not like anyone will ever have the proper convergence/convenience to actually make it doable to wave your phone at more than a few places and have it do something useful.
For these things to work as advertised they're going to need to saturate the shit out of the market, so businesses will want to use them *everywhere*. They'll need to come with everything, cheaply I think, for it to become some easy to use super gadget opportunity.
WIll that happen? probably not. Perhaps it will be tied in greatly with home elctronics, and personal gadgets, but it will probably be nowhere as ubiquitous (ubi..ubu...ubo...damn) as credit cards, and i doubt it will bridge the gap from bluetooth+ that it looks like it will reside in to super convenience.
excluding the WB, BET etc...all the other channels are white channels.
does the sea of white on the screen somehow not magically reach your eyes? The only reason that BET and the few others exist, is because there already are a hundred or so white channels.

"[...] By the same token, it also means that Congress shall NOT knock one religion down just because some loud mouth doesn't like it."
Is Congress 'knock'ing one religion down? It seems more like Congress is raising one up above the others (would that be playing favorites?) by making it required by law to pledge your personal allegiance to its' God.
I don't recall any counties where children are made to worship to Allah, Shiva or contemplate the knowledge that Buddha offers us.
Sure seems like some religion is being chosen as a 'favorite' to me.

"A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body, including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin areas.

and
"During discovery, McDonalds produced documents showing more than 700 claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebecks. This history documented McDonalds' knowledge about the extent and nature of this hazard. McDonalds also said during discovery that, based on a consultants advice, it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to maintain optimum taste. He admitted that he had not evaluated the safety ramifications at this temperature. Other establishments sell coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees. Further, McDonalds' quality assurance manager testified that the company actively enforces a requirement that coffee be held in the pot at 185 degrees, plus or minus five degrees. He also testified that a burn hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above, and that McDonalds coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat. The quality assurance manager admitted that burns would occur, but testified that McDonalds had no intention of reducing the "holding temperature" of its coffee."
