Sounds similar to David Blaine's $100,000 Challenge armchair treasure hunt that was placed in his book. I don't really care until they start hiding ebony armor and Nirnroot though...
I'm quite curious, could someone explain what sort of technology is used to observe chemical reactions at such a small level? (such as that in the video)
With some of the effects turned down I am positive Vista would run fine on these 256 MB machines.
Vista sounds like a new game. Just turn down the draw distance and Vista will run fine! People might have trouble getting used to the fog on inactive windows though.
I recently did just what you are planning to. Do NOT buy the DiNivo and similar crap, the keys are extremely mushy.
I would suggest getting a Rosewill RK600, it has proven to be an extremely nice keyboard for my gaming/fast typing needs, and it has a very crisp laptop action. And it's about $100 less than similar Logitech offerings. The only downside is you can't get a wireless version, personally I don't care for wireless in my keyboards and mice, but I suppose if you do that's the only thing that might make it a less than wonderful keyboard.
I'm a little late but whatever. Hopefully you can help, you seem to know about this thing!
I don't use linux (but would like to, especially on a tablet!), I used to have a PocketPC tablet that recently combusted. This thing sounds perfect for me but my main use and reason for needing a tablet is I need to be able to use some sort of (Japanese) handwriting recognition on the thing. Do you have any idea if it could be modified to support Japanese fonts? And is there anything out there for linux that supports handwriting entry?
The thing that bugs me is it seems impossible to find out exactly what information Google has tied to me. Do they offer any way for me to request to see such info? I would assume not, they would likely make the argument that if they allowed that there could be misuses by people claiming to be someone they are not attempting to gopher information, but it still bothers me that there is no way to find out.
The $randomwisdom at the bottom of slashdot currently reads "When things go well, expect something to explode, erode, collapse or just disappear."
I sort of deep down hope they don't find them now.
Are you skilled at reading that graph? There are much bigger increases than the one on 9/10, look at 8/31, for example. The elevation shown on 9/10 is not anywhere near noteworthy.

Maybe he shouldn't have used 'gaben' for his password. Come on Gabe, you could of thought of something better than that
Is it just me, or wouldn't Vertically challanged tend to mean something that has a hard time standing up, or something that is horizontal most of the time? Seems like flat panel monitors and the like are horizontally challanged, if anything.
Have you ever tried printing those 2 megapixel images? 2.0 may be all well and good on a monitor, but printing is a whole 'nother ballgame. You won't be getting any kind of acceptable 8x10's out of that. And we're not even talking professional use here, just simple at home printing, when you start talking about actually selling your images or doing other serious work with them, the need for 5+ megapixels becomes painfully clear.
So yes, 2.0 is enough if all you're doing is posting the images online or archiving them for the heck of it, but when it comes to really putting them to work, whether it be printing just for at home framing or for professional work, you'll quickly see the need for those "hyped" high megapixels.
Slashdot, what were you thinking?! I was under the impression that only high ranking Starfleet officials were to be told of Omega, yet you go posting a review of it on the front page!
It was an attempt to make people realize I was speaking in a joking manner, to avoid them thinking that I really thought there was a link between the previous story being posted and the person in question being arrested, as outlandish as that idea is. However, it obviously failed.
Next time I need to include a </joke> tag or something.
This sounds alot like what Prof. Steve Mann and EyeTap have been experimenting with for a long time. They were featured on the TechTV show "Nerd Nation" not too long ago. Real interesting stuff.

Can't you all see? These are not mere fish, these are THE DEEP ONES!

And so it begins.
It took me 17 attempts before my brain managed to stop reading the title as "Widescreen PSP". :(
The $randomwisdom at the bottom of slashdot currently reads "When things go well, expect something to explode, erode, collapse or just disappear." I sort of deep down hope they don't find them now.
My guess is the Oasys will likely come in around at a $2500 price point.
:)
Heh, you wish!
Try $8,000-$9,000

Fast forward a year or so from now: "Ask Slashdot: Where Do Dummy Cell Phone Numbers Go?"
And of course you mean "Heroes", right? :)

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a tech demo."
Slashdot linked to an article on Wired regarding this exact observation not too long ago.
I agree. They aren't even keeping with the Blog-esque naming scheme of using the last letter (weBlog). It should be Tlog.
Finally, I get my 15 minutes of fame in a slashdot story! Sort of...

Slashdot posts story about 2ch. Next story is about 2ch user "47" being arrested. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! :)
