I would like to see them make robots that are very modular, This would have a couple of benifits, people would be able to start their robot much cheaper (Only have to buy one or two functions to start with) and they would be able to upgrade and expand their robot as they needed more features. This would be kinda like computers are now and would help bots get adapted by the population at large much more quickly. (Think of how fast things took off after clones came out)
Patents and Trademarks (tm) are two entirly differant things. Look them up and you will find that the only thing they have in common are that they can both be owned.
Wrong Divx. You are talking about the failed circuit city ver. called DIVX this article is talking about the wildly successfull video codec Divx or DivX.
This is a high end DVD player with Progressive scan capabilities. That is what sets it into the very expensive category. If you go price high end DVD players with this feature you will find that they start around 350$ US.
I wonder if using water as a medium can allow it to do someoperations very efficiently, (at least in comparitive scale) operations like addition and subtraction might be accomplished through butting all of the water from cell one to cell two, or the greater then operations could involve wichever is heavier. I think it is an interesting way to look at the rudementury operations.
You obviously don't understand how those services work. Those are actually controled by the set top box itself. They record the show while it is paused and then play it back when you are ready to resume playing again. They basically have a PVR built into them. There is no content stream being sent down just for you, it is sent down to everyone for everyone and the set top box does the magic.
One of the most important things to consider is not which college you graduate from but WHEN you graduate. If the economy is good when you graduate, and people are hiring, you will get a better job then if the economy is bad. That is probably the most important thing to consider.
It seems that if you take a look at the groups page of seti you will notice there are two slashdot teams. one called "Team Slashdot" and another called just slashdot. Between the two of them they have over 1.2 million work units processed.
He wants to have fewer USB ports taken up on his computer and he wants to be able to make his USB devices portable and cut baack on the cables they have. Something like a USB hub that instead of plugging into the computer through USB but used bluetooth to do it.
I don't think it still costs $400,000 per terabyte for a 50 terabyte system when my server has a terabyte of storage for about $3000 total. I think to get a good pricing structure, you need to give the speed and size requirments.
I bet if the bandwidth is kept down on each machine it would be a viable non ddosing service that alot of people could both donate to and use. I run a linux box that alot of windows users at my work use to start to learn about windows and post stuff that requires php/mysql. If there was a secure way I could donate part of the resources of that box and like 15k/sec to the group I would.
Too baad optical mice don't send back data telling the computer the "color" or "opacity" of the serface they are on, they just tell the computer how long it stayed in the same place.

There are likely no common species between Earth and Mars, so even if the probe is contaminated by any terrestrial bacteria/diseases, they will not be designed to infect or otherwise compromise Martian species.
I think you are limiting the scope of the analogy a little too far. The bacteria and disease was able to kill off the common species becase they have a similar envrnments to live in, the human host. While Martian environment is differant to most of Earth, it does have simularities to many places on Earth and we have many single cell organisms that thrive in the conditions simular to that on Mars and may, very easily drowned out the current populations.

That may be true, but we have a track record of killing off the indigeounus life forms we meet, dating way back, even as far as invasion of the America's with disease.

While all of these projects are cool, I wonder if the cheaper projects will have problems with lower standards of cleanliness and lead to contamination of Mars, possibly leading to the destruction of any curent life on Mars. After all Scientists have found that there was contamination on the first lunar lander that touched down on the Moon on 1967.
My favorite are all of the P2P programs that people run that can be auto updated. Imagine the havoc that can be created with control of 1,000,000 computers with fast internet connections.

Home security at it's best! All we need after that is HAL.

If someone was willing to volunteer their work to replace the product that I made for a living, I would be scared too.

Apache doesn't make those logs availible to themselves or their business partners, this EULA implictes that YAHOO! is doing that.
If you look at the link to the comments on that article, it claims to be article number 305.
