And when he says longer battery life... We mean it. 8 hours... Why not 16? Why bot 24? Why not 72? Why not 100? Yes, we can recharge batteries. Do we want to recharge it every day? NO. Do we want to do it often? NO. Once a week is about right.
A WiFI antennae. I've never heard of one being in a pda. Isn't it time to consider the posibility? I mean, granted, I'd just use it for email and slight telcom purposes.... but... I'd like 'em fast!;)
"Boy, I'd like to be an astronaut someday... but this is a joke, I'll take anyjob I can get.... please? Anybody? Janitor? Any openings like that? I'll be a fry cook... sigh.... fine. I'll go home.... UNLESS you have a job now? Astronaut per chance? Huh? Oh. Ok. I guess I'll be seeing you again, maybe."
Is the supermarket card swapping. I hate supermarket cards tracking me down and seeing what I do. This is a great way to fight back against the supermarkets who used to give us all of their 'deals' anonymously. Now we have to use those cards, which I leave at home at times, or get raped for prices.
Is there any way that we could set up a big slashdot card swap? My Albertson's for yours.
Do they do this: yes
Do they do this intentionally: No
Do they try to stop it: yes
While they don't go and let kids stay for a while, schools allow kids to do this when they don't hire computer-literate teachers. I had a class in webmastering at that school (I wanted to learn the server side of things, I already knew HTML and the like... this was years ago) and the ordinary teacher had quit to go to a different job (for some reason, I think it was even lower-paying). Anyways, they brought us a sub who didn't know a thing about computers. Not a thing. The result? We played a lot of Descent and doom, and then even brought in our own games from homes (Those of us who had macs) and then stole the internet connection from the next room and got ourselves networked.
The next year they had a PhD in Comp Sci teaching Comp Sci (with new Wintel machines) and if we finished our work, we'd go online (the content filters were horrible) and dl games and the like. I remember a sub in that class egging me on to get bigger guns in the GTA2 demo.
When the admins and the teachers aren't looking the smart kids will figure out how to get games and the like and show everyone else how to do it. It's even educational;)
I sincerely hope that there is some galaxy or nebula acting as a firewall, I'd hate to see a JeffK style HaX0r break in and give us some flashing animated gifs everywhere.
Actually they're not. In many states, such as Texas, it's legal to own, posess and use lockpicks... it's just not legal to use them on a door to another person's house.
If they were illegal, there would be no locksmiths.
I hope you gave her a set of normal picks. Those ones that you get spam for won't work. Oh... instructions would be good
Also, I found the best thing I had was a TV tuner. That way I could watch the cable provided by dorms and places, but not have to move a TV. I could also watch TV and chat and stuff. It was really nice.
I've also heard it's great to have a really good, thick dictionary, butI've just used dictionary.com. (it's not perfect, but it gets the job done)
I love video games. Love 'em, Love 'em, Love 'em. But $150-$300 for one game and the largest controler ever? Sorry, I've been burned too many times by console peripherals.
Remember the SNES Mouse?
The Super Scope?
The track mat for the NES?
The DDR mat for PSX?
Every single Sega Saturn add on?
I think a lot of consumers remember these thigns and will hold off to see just how good it is... or just hold off period.
How many people can type the cryllic letters? I'm not sure what option and control keys invoke them. It'll be fun for spoof and protest sites, but not much else.
I've been using computers since I was 4, and mostly using the standard or extended keyboards. Then about a month and half ago.. BOOM. Tendonitis in both arms flares up bad. Right before finals and everything... not good. I get worried, try to slack off as much as I can... but still it hurts bad. I try slacking off, I buy wrist splints... They alieviate the pain a bit... but then THEY start hurting me. So it hurts to type even a little bit... I even resort to typing with me nose (the WPM rate is horrible). So I go in and see the Doctor and they give me Advil...9 a day for 10 days... so I do that, wear the splints at night.. and it goes away for a while. But now it comes back, with PS2 and tons of typing, it's just bound to happen. So, now, I just take Advil whenever things start hurting... it works pretty well.

I am
I don't get it. Please explain.
News agencies have been doing this for years. People aren't really interviewed in front of the best view in the city.
P.S. The cityscapes in the background on Connan and Leno and Letterman aren't real either.
Dammit.. if there was one thing that teachers taught it was to reduce your fractions!

Least that's the way they were with me.

So far I have't seen anybody offer points on which browser is faster. I use both of them and it actually seems like Mozilla is faster.
Maybe I'm a version behind or something.

E3 is passe, especially when there's (Supposedly) an E9

Nope. Sorry. Wasn't me.
Hopefully this sort of thing will get more press attention, that way more people see how evil Carnivore really is.

Future /. headline:
Rocket Guy shot down by 'Star Wars' Missle Defense system.
Pretty useless in it's current form. Yes, it's a cool idea, but it's slow, ugly, and it doesn't find things very well at all.
I did a search for "Hank Hill", and after clicking through a few hundred Javascript alerts I got such fine choices as:
Terry Love's Plumbing and Remodel advice
The director of Bell labs' buisness personal page
A page called 'Movie Reviews', giving the most generic movie reviews I've ever seen
And a guide to Snow Hill, Maryland
Yes, on Google and Teoma, etc., you can find this links... but not in the Top 10 links! The idea is good, but the search isn't.
I think I'll wait until the ideas in This article about the future of video cards come to munition.
