Back in the early days of high school thinking of names for porn sites was a common lunch table activity... the two I thought of that I most liked where habersnatchery.com and ithinkimgoingto.com.
It's really interesting that in the last couple years lo-fi synthesis and reworking of old systems has made more progress than hardware synthesis (I'm aware of all the advances in software such as Scanned, Fourier, etc but none of them have made it to hardware yet. We've seen C64 SID chips make a comeback in the form of the SIDstation, and two great Gameboy synthesizers, Nanoloop, and Little Sound DJ all three of which are incredibly useful and have interesting and unique sounds. The kind of DIY synthesizers we'll find in 10 years is going to be fascinating.
I understand the annoyance of spam, I've had the same email address for 10 years and I get several hundred pieces a day. What I simply don't understand is the fact that junk mail is still legal. Yes, I'm aware that spam can theoretically waste time at work, and it takes up electrical enery to send, but real life junk mail wastes tons and tons of paper, gas from delivering it, more time spent by the mail man, etc.
When are we going to see law suits against junk mail? I'd love that.
Are we talking about music from Dance Dance Revolution? If so, is that going to be because people are playing DDR soundtrack cd's or because the game is going to be there?
A couple years back when Intel had the guys in the anti-static suits doing their advertising I remember catching some pictures of some really awesome cases at some Intel show in Japan. There were a couple round ones in colors like bright orange and pink. Overall they were really great, but of course they were never mass produced. I'd love to get my hands on one, it at least pictures.

This doesn't really sound like a *good* thing to me. Can somebody with a little more technical knowledge explain how this is advantageous?

All the people that are into personal security or echelon/big brother people are just going to love this.
After so much fanfare and puffery by Microsoft, this seems like something they aren't going to be too pleased about. The Microsoft Office Homepage doesn't seem to have any reference to Office X at all. Of course, there is Office X info elsewhere, but not on the home page. How interesting... WTG Apple!
There have been numerous robberies of stores in my area in the last couple months. The first thing cops used to do years ago is check pawn shops and other such stores, now their first target is eBay. These people really should have known better...
I'm interested in creating a MIDI-enabled hardware step sequencer to my own specifications and as I know very little about programming hardware this idea sounds *very* appealing to me. I was going to submit an Ask Slashdot question and cross my fingers hoping it would get submitted, but now maybe I don't have to.

I hope the guy that is manufacturing the carts doesn't get overly slashdotted so I can get mine!

I'm a well known PA in Washington, I just don't listen or play dance garbage.
And I also haven't played DDR in three years.

Just out of curiosity... what sort of cases do you fancy?
Nope... those aren't the ones I'm talking about. But they are all very cool.

Now put a 10gb firewire drive into it. That would be the perfect device.

Anyone have more pictures of this guy? The article on nytimes.com had that tiiiiny little picture where he just looked like a muppet.
Something makes me think having a sysadmin's day isn't going to help fix that. :)
"Keep your life on it"
Do you get to claim life insurance when it dies?
Do you really think Microsoft would make it that easy to get ahold of them? :)
How are users supposed to get the phone number for Microsoft Technical Support if they can't get online?

Then you'd have a really worthwhile device. Great that it can record... finally!

first post again... like 7 times ina three weeks
Probably not... why don't you try one of those longer haikus.

Apart from being way too big, it's not a cell phone.
I still insist that the ultimate device would be an iPod with a screen that runs the full length of the device with cell phone and pda technology.
This is a computer that you keep by your TV. Hm... can't those exist now?
I've never seen nor heard of a mouse, when used as mice are intended, killing anyone. Just a *little* too much hyperbole.
