as with anything digital, the more data/info you can capture, the more you can do with it afterwards. Ramp up the megapixels, sample rate, clock rate, and so on.
2 hours talk time, 1 hour bark time, 30 minutes of optical zooming, 15 minutes watching the teev should leave about 8 minutes to belt out stairway to heaven on the karaoke. It is beyond a joke.
My girlfriend got a samsung phone that takes vga pics. The battery life is dreadful.
this insignificant little Australian just wants to know if he'll get a vote in the Presidential elections. You know, now that we're a fully fledged 51st State.
I tend to agree. I've been receiving my lockergnome posts via email for, what 5 or 6 years? Since I tend to fall behind in my reading, I'd rather have a few messages waiting in my inbox than to have to pull the latest feed then backtrack thru the issues missed.
we could go on forever about how long term predictions are never acurate (Metropolis, anyone?), AI just isn't moving ahead, blah blah blah.
The fact is that, however we go about it, more and more tasks in which people are employed to carry them out are becoming automated. The simple reason is that with our current economic models its good business to employ less people.
It's vital that we ask ourselves what we want our future to be like. What will happen if, and it will happen very suddenly, millions of jobs are gone? Do we want to send these people to boot camp? No one will be employed to dig holes and fill them back in.
Current social vibes tell me they will be told to go fuck themselves.
. . . I nearly believed it.
By an amazing coincidence the Australian Senate will soon vote on cross-media ownership laws. This will be the death of independent media over here. Rupert Murdoch is poised to take over the Fairfax papers, which are the only media outlet critical of the current government.
isn't it a 'communist' philosophy to consider all property as belonging to the (corporate) state?
that's not your pc, and if we don't like what you're doing with it . . . boom boom boom boom.
oh woe, what a shame, land of the free
aus, uk, all so keen to follow their leader - usa.
too bad your (our) elected officials are swayed more by 'donations' than votes.

VoD is non-tangible. I want to see my collection on the shelf. Hold it, read the back. Swap and loan to my family and friends. I think many people will feel the same?
Around 1996 I placed an auction on an Aust auction site (surprised that its still there) for genuine Tin Foil protective caps, imported from Russia. I was quite chuffed to get an email from the site manager explaining why he removed my auction. A few emails exchanged and his explanation was that my asking price ($300) was too high and that he feared some fool would pay it. Silly me - I only put it at $300 to make the whole thing appear as an obvious joke. he he he.
Pools of Radiance: RoMD. What a disappointment!
Made me dig out the C64 emulator just so I could play the original, which, after 15 years is still better!

will it use IPv6? there's a damn lot of cars out there.
I imagined this would be first post . . . just before reading it. yawn.
and I thought not doing metric/imperial conversions was a big problem for NASA satalites and shuttles!
or an uber-uber-camera that turns photos of buildings into buildings

Amazing the functions that those Japanese cram onto watches these days.

yeah, the homeless are all potential terrorists.
I say, don't tag the homeless, ARM THEM!

i'm in Aust. and the only sms spam I've ever received was from my carrier. I'd really like to see that outlawed.
yay ! Now I can spend money I don't have without even openning my wallet.

Read the FAQ -- Slashdot is US-centric, blah blah blah blah.

forbidden? Perhaps because I'm running MS Windows and IE? If it was slashdotted it'd be a 5nn error right?
Nah mate, its the truth. I read it in a Murdoch paper.
