According to the movie Miracle on 34th Street, Santa is able to slow down time though. He turns milleniums into milliseconds until he is done. So, that just instantly flushes your philosophy down the drain.
I agree with this, I hate how any girl can cry "rape" and then any man's life can be destroyed by this. Another reason why women aren't equal when they wanna be.
what I want to know if a fuel cell will be expensive, but have refills where it will have a universal adapter like a butane lighter does, where you can refill it with any brand, and since hydrogen would be so easily obtainable, if you could just get it from water and do it yourself. I'd like to see battery packs made for existing laptops that can have unlimited refills. (think: powerbook g4 fuel cell that goes where the battery does, like an upgrade thing for 1 or 2 hundred dollars, same with iPod;))
You keep saying, "you can get that" in many of your posts, after "getting all of that", what would the price be? Plus, does the eMachines have FireWire 800? or just 400? Also, the hard drive is SATA, much better than traditional IDE hard drives.
yeah, the main problem is syncing and the fact that it doesn't have a really quick responce time, like POTS does, nor does any alternative except for most portable phones.

Don't moderate on this topic, this is a dupe, and everyone is just copying comments from the previous story to get mod points, I know this sounds stupid, but if I had mod points, I wouldn't waste them on this discussion.
When you stop, a front wheel will go down to provide more support for when stopping, however you do have a good point since this will add to the overall amount of time it takes this device to come to a stop, I guess in the future (2025 like the article says), they will have a better designed road system for these types of vehicles, this is just a proposal for a future transportation system rehaul, it isn't designed to fit in with the present day system I suppose, just like on minority report as timothy says.
beat me to it, it is the exact same article too, I dont' even see it as a segway replacement, it is more of a one wheeld motorcycle because you sit down, don't stand up, and wouldn't wanna use it on sidewalks/etc like you would a segway. I think they are a waste of energy though with gyroscopes having to keep it balanced out and all, I think it is dangerous, impractical and inefficient, just what I think though.
Just use some CompactFlash as disk, 32 Mb or larger will do fine for an embedded linux system (SDL graphics, tinyhttp server if need be).
I have used the SSV systems for this kind of thing.
CompactFlash only has so many times it can write/rewrite, and these have to stay in place for years at a time, probably wouldn't be a good idea. Now, the OS embedded into the Bios does sound like a good idea.
I think that the engineering/ideas in Linux need to mature first. The GUI needs to be unified/the same on all distros, but different distros can have different sets of programs/etc, but should all be interoperable. A better installation method needs to come about, like msi or somthing, and a better uninstaller, and make a thing like program files so it is easier to uninstall stuff, and make a nicer looking taskbar for goodness sakes. Do those things, and you are on your first step to overtaking alot of the windows market, that, and sell it preinstalled on joe sixpacks pc's, and of course, wine should be included. If games were ported to it en masse, it would get alot more marketshare, but first the joesixpack swho just wants email need to adopt it to get about 20% of the market over before game companies will consider developing it.
I am wondering if they are going to put alot into user interface design like Apple did with OS X, and if they will be selling it preinstalled on computers like Windows does, that should deffinately bring up the market for it, also a unified desktop would be great for it too, people seem to think different on the subject though.
The only problem I see with this is the fact that people will be less productive because of the fact they can't answer the phone, and the enviroment will be more noisy than peaceful. This is a problem at the place I work, so they are setting up cublicels and moving away from shared offices.
The money made by it will go towards genetic research, just like that fast processor in your mad leet gaming station, the profits will go back to amd for more research. Just because the application is useless doesn't mean the money going to it will be wasted.
Sounds nice, alluminum casing and all, it seems it would be better if they came out when the G5's did though, so they could match, I figured they would have. Maybe the screen will be super thin like the powerbooks monitor is.
yes, but what happens when mommy tries to call you and asks you why you didn't pick up. Mommy gives you a cell phone, but only so that they can call you to see what you are doing every 5 min.
Except the new 3rd generation iPods, they will work on mac and pc if formatted in FAT32 IIRC. The first generation ones will only work for what you bought them to work on (mac or pc) which seems all fair to me, IIRC, a 2nd gen iPod will work on mac and pc if fat32 formatted. They don't seem to be doing anything wrong though, since their First Gen iPods were designed to be Mac Only, and I believe the 2nd gen one's will work on PC. Just because the apple made software doesn't support the hack that makes it work on PCs, doesn't make them the bad guy. Since this has been addressed in this manner though, I assume they might fix it.
I think it is time we make a more userfriendly, windowmanager-specific GUI for Linux/FreeBSD/etc that will be accepted by the masses and seen as "Linux", maybe make it official, this is the perfect grounds to get it accepted by the masses, making a unified interface for linux and other derivatives, then see if it is accepted. Make it like windows where all you see the whole time is the user interface, to make it better for the desktop world, some say that choice is good, and the ability to run programs remotely is good, but now days for the average desktop user, this is not very practical, and choice is becoming randomness since there is no standard user interface guideline for Linux. Lets make someone like MacOS X for x86, but based on Linux: fast, easy, etc. I could help with UI development, etc if anyone is interested in starting a project, I'm not much for coding though. Linux needs somthing original. I know, I posted this in the past, but I am wanting to get the word out.

Gates should have used BSOD Properties durring his presentation, this shows how to change the color of your BSOD.

I think I've seen this on another show before, maybe the simpsons?

Image doesn't work, anyone have a mirror of it?
I also second that, I would follow it.

Just for the record, it is about 100 million sperm everytime you ... you get the point.
I am using Fedora right now, and it is working just ** no carrier **
