It's quite brilliant if you ask me. I'm sure it's not a new idea at all, but perhaps software patents should exsist to make companies develop more cool stuff, as long as the patents can be used "royalty" free in non-profit projects?
When my brothers physics professor first started studying physics his professor showed the class a transistor. "This is a transistor, it does this and that, but it will probably not be very useful."
So, in 50 years we WILL have computers made out of Lego, right?
Yes, I saw a product like this one at the CeBIT expo a couple of years ago. It could only produce the smells that the inserted cartridges contained. So naah, no big hit there I guess.
If you RTFA instead of just looking at TFP you can see the before and after images, the light pole doesn't look strange in any way on those other images.
I don't know what kind of watch you use, but in most cases watch batteries last for years. And you can get them replaced really cheap! It's kind of cool to have a watch without a battery, but that's about it. You're not going to save any money using it, since they are usually rather expensive.
This is exactly what we need, the really big companies can to a great deal to prevnt spam from being profitable. It all makes sense. If the major e-mail providers (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail etc.) find a way to prevent spam from reaching their inboxes, the number of people who recieve a certain spam message will be drasticly cut. It's also these big companies that have to pay the most for spam I think, in bandwidth and storage costs etc. I just hope the big players can descide on a single standard so we can see some action instead of just talk talk talk.
Oh glory, don't you just love people who misunderstand things on purpose to seem smart or something. If you don't understand that headline, perhaps you shouldn't be talking about things getting dumbed down!
I was surprised when a friend of mine found out that our phones, Sony Ericsson T610, has a built in AIM client that's not enabled by default. If you open the hidden service menu (press -> * <- <- * <- *) you can see all the strings in the phone software, and there are some AIM-specific ones. A few examples:
- ?Add to buddy list
- ?Alert when buddy is online?
- ?You have a new IM
- ?AIM: Online
- ?AIM: Offline
I guess this function is only available on certain branded phones.

Last time around they said it was just too expensive, the question is if that's true or not.
Actually, he sais "You found the marbel in the oatmeal ... you get to drink from the FIRE HOSE!"
Uh, not that I'm desperate or anything, but are there any mirrors?
Yes.
steve.jobs I say no more!

No, that's for the wrong picture. RTF document before you link it!!

This was my first reaction too. Why the hell would hand preference be connected to the language part of the brain?
Since there is an iTMS in France that wouldn't be so hard. There is also one in Germany. Translation is not a problem.

Energy-saving bulbs contains mercury and should be recycled rather than thrown away. Shame on you.

It helps you see more. Two of everything!
But he also points out that the article was, if not good, better in its first version than now, so the editing obviously work both ways...

Yeah, or a USB RS232 adapter. Saw one with eight serial ports just the other day.
Yeah, when I saw the headline I thought that they'd added some more countries to the list, and then I read this. What a disappointment! :-(
[...] than those I have in my head [...]
You have LED's in your head? OMFG! Way cool!!
I own one, and apart from driving my pet beagle completely ballistic, it's great.
;-)
Apart from? That sounds more like a bonus to me!
Cough cough, let's try that again:
