Silly! You know full well that "a slashdotter" is someone who holds an opinion divergent from the person using the term "slashdotter". You're just being difficult. =)
Now, a more interesting question might be, "What is a slashnephew?"
I was at the AFI (American Film Institute) in 99/2000, and the big hype (or one of the big hypes) was how Interactive TV was going to transform the media landscape. Play at home game shows where the audience would compete for prizes, click to purchase product placement, yadda yadda yadda. That's what set top boxes were going to be all about.
You're correct, I think. You jogged my memory, and I remember that on the Centris 610s we had at work, there was no CD-ROM. Shortly thereafter, I bought a Centris 650 that I thought came with the CD ROM as standard, but I'm probably not remembering correctly.
Shit. . . I'm trying to picture those 610s in my mind to confirm, and I'm having trouble. I did a lot of drugs in those days. Let that be a lesson to you kids!
Maybe it was the Performa my sister bought about a year later that had the CD ROM as standard. Well, whatever. Thanks for the correction.
But can you display photos on the photo iPod that you've captured with the Belkin accessory?
I've (so far) not seen anything that indicates you can, and if you could, you'd think this would be a big feature they'd be touting. With this feature, the iPod photo would be very useful to me. Without it, I think I can stick with my 10 GB 2nd Gen iPod for a little while longer.
OK, I wasn't familiar with the Cool Walker before I read your post, and it seems nifty. But does it play mp3s? The tech specs mention only support for wav files.
It's also unclear to me if you can view photos that you've loaded via the Belkin adapter or if you have to wait until you're home at your computer and transfer from the iPod to iPhoto (or iTunes?) and then back to the iPod.
A complaint I heard when the Belkin adapter first came out was that it was unacceptably slow. If this has changed, then I think it would be better than directly plugging in the camera, but whatever. What would work for me might not work for you.
Uh, color LCD the major power drain? Compared to the HD? If you play video, the HD is constantly spinning. If you play music (or are viewing photos) the HD fills the buffer then spins down. Rinse and repeat.
Also judging by the tech specs (and perhaps deductive reasoning) the HD is spinning down less for slideshows (buffer is filled faster by photos and music). Battery life for slideshows is 5 continuous hours. Battery life for music playback is 15 hours.
What, compared to the people who post the Beowulf/Soviet Russia/SCO jokes a million times over? Hard to get a worse sense of humour than them, as even this "new" 7xxxxx user is sick of their lame jokes.
In Soviet Russia, Beowulf cluster jokes are sick of you.
Slashdot Mirror
We at Alerca prefer to call our kitties DRMed.
I occasionally come across a live lizard in my home that has healed from it's wounds and seems to subsist on the spiders that infest my house.
I'm not totally sure about your theory. My cats seem to bring in live animals so they can torture them in a more controlled environment.
I do keep a trophy shelf with dried out lizard husks and bird wings, though, just to make sure I don't hurt their feelings if I'm wrong.
get a good cat book
My cats are illiterate, you insensitive clod!
I totally agree, if by "helping their fellow man" you mean "hookers and beer".
I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember this.
Remind me not to come around next time you "compile" your pets.
Even more reason to wait for Alerca to complete their acquisition of Real Doll, Inc.
But it really was sooo totally cute. Here, let me show you the slideshow.
Heh. I wonder if the Geneva convention covers showing slideshows of pets to POWs.
I looked and looked and found no cameras or other devices that use these "general cards" that you speak of.
You can do notes. You can download mapquest directions. I'm sure there are other things as well.

Where do you download 70s porn soundtrack music for your slideshows? =)
But you keep these earphone for a long time, as opposed to throwing them out when the battery wears down.
KIDDING! I'm just kidding!

The mantra is still the same: "Convergence"

Thanks for the heads up.
You've got a workable solution with the Wolverine. Too bad it doesn't display images either. I did find a good price for it at costco, however.

Tech specs for iPod Photo
Sorry, forgot. I also forgot to call you an ignorant slut. My apologies.

Ugly and pretty are determined by culture, and their value is relative.
You're forgetting about all those viruses based on the honor system.
You know, that explains President Bush. It's not that he's slow. He's in emulation mode.
