I have (well, my team at work has...) and aibo ERS-220, and it really is a heap of shit. This is not a troll; I really do have one, and it really is shit.
We were expecting it to do cool stuff, but it just wonders round the room bumping into stuff. After a while it sits down and plays a little song. After doing this a few times it runs out of battery and dies.
That's it. Biggest waste of two thousand pounds ever. Now the new one's come out we'll be lucky to get four hundred for it on eBay.
"the results augur well for Apple G5 performance in technical and scientific computing environments and for playing games."
Well, a fast CPU certainly doesn't do any harm, but a lot of games these days are bound by either processing geometry on the GPU or by memory bandwidth for texture lookups.
Few games are multithreaded, so having two processors isn't such an advantage.
If you wnat to shut up a particularly annoying luser, you could rename root to something else and then create a regular user called root. You'd be amazed at how effective it is!
If you pointed me at Karamba's home page I wouldn't have a clue what it was. "information using various sensors and display types" could mean pretty much anything. gDesklets mentions status meters and news tickers so you know WTF it is.
The fact that a post like this can be modded as Flamebait is my biggest problem with linux (well, its users).
Where the fuck is the start button on either of the 'easy to use' desktops for unix? It's a button with a stupid smarmy little bugger of an icon no more important looking than any of the hundreds of other unintuitive icons.
Yeah, I couldn't decide whether my post was a troll or not, sorry.
Futuroscope is a amusement park in France that is themed around the moving image. There are various interesting animation / television / 3d exhibits.
In the evening they put on a show where they have screens made of fine water spray which they project onto. This is all done above the surface of a pond. The audience watch from about 15 meters away. The picture is ghost-like and amazing to see.
The screens are large; around about 4 meters in width and height. The picture is nowhere near as sharp as a television, but it's enough to see what's going on.

I'm done now (:
So what does the dollar sign stand for?
I bet there's a red spot on uranus.
... a beowulf cluster of those! Sorry.
Especially if the PS3 turns out to be the siamese-twin SMP coding nightmare rumours suggest it to be. ;)
*drool* :)

Still, I wouldn't turn one down.

But not as we know it.
Well I thought that was pretty funny.
Here's a tip: Take the day off every 49 days. ;)
I can recommend Sam's Teach Yourself Absolute OpenBSD Annoyances for Dummies in 24 Hours Unleashed -HOWTO.
No shit, Sherlock! Can you imagine lugging six lava lamps and an SGI box round with your powerbook?
You go to the directory of the program you want to install, and type "make install".
The source is downloaded (along with any dependancies), compiled and installed. There are other make targets for uninstallation and other tasks.
It just works, and it's really nice.
Neither.
(FreeBSD's ports came before Debian's apt, didn't it? Perhaps I'm wrong)
Does it support Ogg?
(Yes, I am joking)

Simple really.
I think you'll find this is the worst link in the history of Slashdot.

Yep, if you find that cool then you probably are single.
(j/k, I'm just karma whoring for 'Funny')
Post the exploit as A/C on slashdot.
