this is seriously completely outrageous, and is a potential infringement on human rights.
Take the many children with abusive parents who could utilize this device to seal an even tighter noose around their neck.
I know if I was a kid with one of these, it would make me really resentful towards my parents and cause unneeded rebellion which would most likely lead to a bad situation.
Although I still wouldn't agree with it, a straight up alarm device that could be activated in times of trouble would be just as affective if thats really all its for.
More important than wether its shareware or not, I've been waiting years for ambrosia to port some of their games over, these are some of the funnest games I've played.
Well that's five minutes I won't be getting back. I mean, that crap about his game at the end, what the hell was that? A lot of people need to realize that they are not journalists.
Wow, you're blatant misoginy and sexism is refreshing. Maybe when you hit puberty, grow up a bit, move out of your moms house, you too could have a girlfriend.
Another example of how copyrighting has gone way to far. Seriously, do you think anybody really associates mozilla with godzilla, or think that it has any sort of affiliation with it? What does it really matter? Just another corporation trying to sue the little guy for a buck.

Linux torvalds? Is he going to fight windows gates?
That could be true, except for the fact that what it comes down to is the immoral, selfish, greedy people are the ones that end up at the top, and we end up with very few large company's actually existing. These large company's (surprise, surprise) seem to base all judgements on financial gain, including such things as defrauding others.
The sad thing is when people all talk about how horrible it is, such as nike with their child/slave labour, yet the next day these people are out there loading up on Nike's and Mcdonalds(another one of those terrible countries).
I've been wanting to build one of these for a long time, but all the site's I've seen about building one, have very convincing warnings about how dangerous it is, But it would be really cool.
Maybe someone could post the schematics for the death ray...
What are you talking about??? We're assaulted time and time again, with shitty movies coming out, which seem to make millions of dollars, even though they suck. As far as I'm concerned, if you don't think multi millions of dollars is a decent living, you should be shot in the face right now.
Then on the other hand, we have lots of excellant independant movies coming out, which make very little money. So don't tell me that you need tons of money to make a good movie, hollywood people are just lazy/stupid.
I am somewhat confused as to what this dude is getting at. He sit's there bitching about Linux GUI's, then talks about how great command line is, and proceeds to offer no suggestions at all as to what he thinks is needed. It just seem's kind of pointless to me. I think the biggest problem with GUI's in Linux is the X windows system, and that people should start putting some thought into that...
In a shocking turn of events, it turns out that 99% of slashdotters do NOT like pop-up windows. I for one am baffled by this. Thank you to the 100 people who cared enough to let us know with their comments.
Back to you Jim.
I see where you're coming from, and I'm not one to deny technological progress, it happens.
But quality of life?? Come on, it just goes down and down....
Wow, you seem to reach the so called "zone" a lot there dude. Are you sure that you're reaching this "zone", or just feeling really good.
"hey I was just walking down the street, and it put me in the zone!"
"funny you should say that, while getting my haircut, I too was in the zone!"
*high fives*
Actually, time is base 12, and personally(not that i think it will ever happen) I'd love for time to go metric, it would make much more sense. There are a lot of really good ideas relating to metric time out there, just google it. Our current system of time just doesn't really make sense.
Swatch has been making internet beat time watches as well, which are metric, but could use some work.

The jaguar was also succesful at reinventing the telephone to be used as a game controller.
I prefer being unemployed, but that only works for so long.... so self employment would logically be the next step.

not quite, you'll also have to recompile everything with 3.2. And you'll have to change some symlinks and such.

Check out theyrule.net, it's pretty interesting.

Maybe with this new memory, I'll be able to run windows.....
if only it were that easy

Way to take a joke dude. Lighten up, and just keep thinking... robots are way cool. I want one.
This is some amazing stuff, if anybody has anymore links to things like this, post em.
then why write a stupid useless article, basically saying nothing, except whining?

people that go on here claiming for first post. This'll probably end up like 25th.
ohh man, has anyone ever waved a skunk in front of your face?

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the title. Now that was the first true interactive t.v. show, even if it wasn't very good.
