I have toshiba laptop with rca type a/video out, also I own a pair of sony glasstrons that run off the same infolithium battery as my sony camcorder.
with the laptop screen off, I can run my laptop for about 4 hours, (once for 5) pumping A/V into the glasses.. ok for doom, better for dvd's I also have some movies on my camcorder tapes that I can watch with the glasses (I have two batteries for the glasses & camcorder) plus, I don't have to look at "you" or anyone else.
Oled's are they the saviour of lcd tech?

after reading the pieces on CDR's which use organic dyes, and the organic dyes don't last beacuse they break down, I wonder about the long term viability of Oled's. Aren't those organic components subject to the same rules of degradation as the organic dyes?
80 percent of the households in America make 50.6 percent of all the income in America.
The richest 20 percent of the households, on the other hand, make 49.4% of the income.
so the folks that fall between 21 & 80% make 1.2% of the income in this country?
I'm pretty sure the author means that 1/4th of that 80% make 49.4 of the money that is 50.6% of the national income, but it could use a little clarity on that point.
there are a great many Sci-Fi books (and 100's of shorts) with well rounded and fleshed out stories concerning possible developments that preclude the usefulness of 95% of the population.
it's not hard, picture a world where everyone is on welfare, with a minimum stipend, that allows for near 0 opportunity for anything beyond mundane existance, for some television to watch, and others just having trees and dust to contemplate.
We have supersonic aicrafts, we have spaceships, we can dig more than 10km deep into the Earth, we can move from the ocean surface into the Mariana trench in the same craft, we can build moving objects weighting million tons! Can the nature do that? Did the evolution do that? The answer is a resounding no!
Supersonic things in nature- meteorites things that can make 10km holes in earth --Big meteorites
microbes- mass/weight of planet earth- more than a ?million? tons? (what motive machine weighs 2,000,000,000 pounds?
Actually, the reason the second round of intelligent species would never get off the planet or develop a heavy industrial base is lack natural resources.
we've taken all the hydrocarbons and metals that can be reached by hand tools a long long time ago.. with a zeroed- no-tech base to start with, you can't get useful quantites out of the ground easily.
rather than make every manufacturer go to some orginization for each new#, they will grant blocks (kinda like internet IP space now) class A's (large blocks with only the first few digits fixed)) will go to nabisco and rj reynolds, and other major conglomerates manufacturing facilities.. it will peter down to small manufacturers, (voodoo pc, jolt cola, tshirthell.com) getting the level of a 'class c' allocation each.
inevitably, as a result, there will be bizarre imbalances, as there are with such as MIT's multiple class A ip space which is excessive, and others who get a class C for a third world location.. (if memory serves, there are 1 or 2 'dark' class A allocations out there)
imagine the owners of Marlboro (in a few years, when they finally fold) never using their assigned prefix again, that would be a huge chunk of not-used prefix code.
is this barcode type encoding to allow for the requirements of both all 1- Types of things out there, 2-individual units of each type, and 3-assignment inbalances? each Manufacturer having a "BLOCK" that they will never use all of?
to do a bit by bit copy of data, you read the data, encrypted or not.. and copy it somewhere
now- admittedly, for the copied data to be useful, you need the ability to write that data on a compatible (read, dual layered) medium that is not available at the consumer level.
but (ianal) the copyright law exception that allow you to make a backup don't require that backup to be useful. You have the data, it is backed up.
think I'm being silly? Consider a professional grade 4 track for audio production, something with DRM that allows a digital backup to be created once from the original master.. lets say you lose the originals/they get damaged.. can the backups help? no-- you can't back them up.
but an argument/post should contain valid info- or it's less than with consideration.. I knew ps2's could be hooked together, and I don't own a console.. not everyone does know that.
than hosting a site Slashdot links to? in terms of actual pages served up? obviously slashdot serves more pages than it's membership goes off site to read
in terms of bytes? slashdot is rather low bandwidth-

Ultimate Goal: To create a robot with human level intelligence and physical manipulation without sentience or self awareness.
I don't think so.
maybe that's the goal of the people with the capital to invest
but it's sure as hell not the ultimate goal of the people who will actually do the 'development' work..
yea, read the posts here, how many are references to female simulacra?
In a word, the ultimate metal slave.
now you've got it, for everybody...
and if they could reproduce what spiders do, we'd have a skyhook and lightweight bulletproof jackets. and the brookly bridge suspension cables would be as thick as a pencil
and if they could reproduce what bees' do, a flying machine that weighs half a gram and sees what's going on.
and if they could synthesize what chickens do, you could eat things out of my ass
just that we know it exists, doesn't mean it can be synthesized (ot should be)

If you don't want to read sci-fi, don't read this, it's entirely supposition, and far far more outlandish than most good science fiction.
ya, I can't think at all today, can i?

or perhaps they aren't issuing subopenas, because aol is just fulfilling requests willingly? i.e. riaa asks, and aol supplies?
it's just code right?
