"Depending on your perspective, a sentence that ends in an interrobang either asks a question in an excited manner or expresses excitement in the form of a question."
So the page is asking us if there is a problem in an excited manner?
That has to be...

.. the most confusing slashdotted page I've seen. The article page says, in it's entirety: "Problem!?"
With both the question mark and exclamation mark, I get to wondering. Is it asking me if there is a problem? Is it telling me there's a problem? Or is this some sort of statement based on quantum theory, and is both asking and telling me there is a problem at the same time?
Alright, I'm just some guy who fixes computers for friends occasionally, but I like statistics too. When my friends call me a geek for using Linux, I always retort "Guess when the last time I had a problem with spyware?"
The last time I had a problem with spyware was around 8 months ago, and I'm using Windows. Coincidentally, that's when I switched to Firefox. I haven't had issues (with my own machine, at least) since.
"And DHCP server function help you to setup IP address automatically.We guarantee you, your familiy or your guest have an exciting time!"
"Oustside enjoy listening music or shooting photos, and then after going back home, you just insert your gadjet to this USB port. LinkPlayer can pickup inside any files for your relax time."
"LinkPlayer remote controller is not normal. Many buttons for your convinience."
"We will keep to make much effort for your satisfaction. Now the following certifications have already been passed. Also we'll update more after finish. Don't miss anymore."
"The Life Achievement Award honors an individual whose career in motion pictures or television has greatly contributed to the enrichment of American culture.
The criteria stated that "the recipient should be one whose talent has in a fundamental way advanced the film art; whose accomplishment has been acknowledged by scholars, critics, professional peers and the general public; and whose work has stood the test of time." In 1993, AFI trustees extended the criteria to encompass individuals with active careers and work of significance yet to be accomplished. "
Wow. Do some of the links look horrible on it for anyone else using Firefox 1.0PR? The font is so small that pieces of the letters are actually missing.
The article made no mention of what these things are powered by, or how long they last. I mean, the last thing one would need is for it to go dead in the middle of surveilling an area. And if they aren't rechargeable/provide for easy replacement of the battery, your only choices would be either to leave it ($45,000 a prototype, 40-50% less in production), or carry around an additional 9lbs of dead weight.
Frank: Hey Bob, could I burn a CD on your computer?
Bob: Yeah sure.
Frank: Uhh. It says it's going to shut down in 60 seconds.
Bob: Yep. Gotta work fast.
Well, now that TechTV is gone, I've got no reason to keep the digital cable around, everything else I want is on basic cable.
Yeah, I'm contemplating doing the same. The leading reason I purchased digital cable was for TechTV. However, it does have other features that I'm not entirely sure I'm willing to go without. Being able to see what's on any particular channel up to a day in advance is something I'd have trouble saying goodbye to. Along with the music channels. And the ease of ordering pay per view movies. It wouldn't be something I could just drop, simply because they removed a station.:)

... Microsoft announced today it will create a server-side indexing solution for Windows users to keep track of their warez.

Yeah, I can see IKEA's new slogan now.
"You don't have to be rich, or even smart."
"... working 24 hours a day**..."
"** - Timezone differences may apply."
Damn. I was all excited about the fact that they worked 24 hours a day, but I live on the west coast.

Skype also rhymes with "pipe," "gripe," and "underripe."
Slashdot just posted a snippet from pocketpctools.com, and a link to their site. Let's hope pocketpctools.com doesn't threaten legal action.
