... is coming monday on the author's youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channe... -- he commented with this but is evidently bad at slashdot so I'm hopping this comment gets read even if his doesn't...
Does anyone know the specific incidents the article is talking about here? I found nothing on the wikipedia pages for her and Assassin's Creed, and I'm lazy...
Yes, they would. But this is also the frickin' NSA...
Not to mention that they're only looking at certain type of packets I'd imagine... ignoring streaming video and the like and focusing on email, instant messaging, slashdot posts...
Arguing that it's 'illegal' begs the question, as 'losing it' only happened when it was made illegal, and that was what I was lamenting.
The website I bought it from produced a consistant-strength product, so dosing was not unpredictable.
As far as date-rape goes: GHB doesn't have the memory loss effects of, say rohypnol, and only certain varieties have a taste that it would be possible to hide. So those could be banned. Regardless, it's a fun drug with no big companies behind it so it was bound to be made illegal eventually, I was just bitching because _I_ liked it... as I would if some TV show I liked were to be canceled.
This is +5 funny. The people responding to it as a serious post must have never heard any of the moonlanding hoax arguments, or are the kind of assholes that just can't keep themselves from correcting things for long enough to consider the possibility of irony. If they're the former... new to slashdot?
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) have successfully performed the world's first high-definition image taking by the lunar explorer "KAGUYA" (SELENE,) which was injected into a lunar orbit at an altitude of about 100 km on October 18, 2007, (Japan Standard Time. Following times and dates are all JST.)
The image shooting was carried out by the onboard high definition television (HDTV) of the KAGUYA, and it is the world's first high definition image data acquisition of the Moon from an altitude about 100 kilometers away from the Moon.
The image taking was performed twice on October 31. Both were eight-fold speed intermittent shooting (eight minutes is converged to one minute.) The first shooting covered from the northern area of the "Oceanus Procellarum" toward the center of the North Pole, then the second one was from the south to the north on the western side of the "Oceanus Procellarum." The moving image data acquired by the KAGUYA was received at the JAXA Usuda Deep Space Center, and processed by NHK.
The satellite was confirmed to be in good health through telemetry data received at the Usuda station.
I _will_ say that GHB is good. That is... it is fun. However, the fact that the effects are close to those of alcohol means that lots of kids got confused and mixed the two or just plain took way too much GHB. It was then labeled as a "date rape drug" in order to get it banned.
Man, it was great though when you could just buy like 40 doses of that stuff online for like $20, and one dose basically made you a really fun kind of drunk for like 3 hours.
I seem to be one of the few people who noticed the invitation to the "Nintendo Fun Club" that came with my NES. This was the original family set with ROB and the lightgun, but no mario bros.
There was a color quarterly magazine, a monthly newsletter, and a membership card that would give me mad geek cred if I hadn't lost my wallet 8 years back...
Ostensibly (and I don't have anything to back this up like a statement from MS) these new releases contain the awaited "Falcon Board" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Xbox_360_Falcon) that will fix the "fatal design flaw" with a new processor, heat sink, etc.
That flaw being some combination of the "red ring of death" and the fact that the board eventually warps due to the unit overheating so often.
I want an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on this thing that uses google's vast amounts of data on everyone to automatically call whomever I _should_ be talking to at the time.
Caltech's bookstore will let you show proof of a cheaper price at several online retailers (amazon included) and they'll match that price. You might not want to purchase anything else at the crazy prices they have there, but at least they keep the textbooks competitive with online options.
How is holding a contest forcing anyone to do anything?
Some people operate best on cycles that include being awake for 24 hours. Certainly if your job description didn't include this when you were hired, you could be "forced" to do it, but many would gladly choose a job that's allows/requires this type of schedule.
Furthermore, staying up that long _on_occasion_ is just plain fun for lots of people. During college I was on a 36 hours awake, 12 asleep cycle for up to a month at a time, and pretty damn happy about it. Aclimating myself to a 9-to-5 job was the real pain in the ass.
I would be great to have home-brew color commentary.
The kind of funny, biased stuff that only some fan not bound by networks and advertizers could provide...

So how is it going to rival the iPhone?
From htc.com:
"Building on its rich ten year history of mobile phone innovations, the HTC Touch(TM) represents extensive research and development and the conviction that fingertip control will enable more efficient, natural and intuitive touch screen navigation. The groundbreaking HTC Touch(TM) offers a new and unique way of controlling touch screen-based devices by recognising and responding to the sweep of a finger across the screen. It is even intelligent enough to distinguish between finger and stylus input and then respond accordingly."
So it has some nice features allowing the user to use single-touch more effectively. This does not come close to the wow factor and the _crazy_ levels of input freedom provided by a multi-touch interface.
What's so bad about choosing a woman for a figurehead position in order to help increase female enrollment in the school ? She has a long list of qualifications, has held the position of provost and done well. She sounds like she's perfect to be in a position where she basically just attaches her name and persona to the university. Also, the life sciences have lots of women and that's where all the money is. The current president of Caltech is a Biologist and that was no accident. So she's got the right stuff, in the right field, and if they can get more attention and female enrollment as a bonus, good for them.
I remember a feature in the Nintendo Fun Club magazine (remember before Nintendo Power?) that showed a controller that strapped to your chest, was played with your chin, and you blew/sucked on a tube for the A/B buttons.
There's a review from '89.
There are also some photos although the one I remember was black and red (maybe just a prototype) and I don't see a tube in the photos...

It's shot at 8-fold speed, the following is from: http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2007/11/20071107_kaguya_e.html

I for one now admit that all previously welcomed overlords can be emulated by this 2 state, 3 color overlord.
Ostensibly (and I don't have anything to back this up like a statement from MS) these new releases contain the awaited "Falcon Board" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360#Xbox_360_Falcon) that will fix the "fatal design flaw" with a new processor, heat sink, etc.
That flaw being some combination of the "red ring of death" and the fact that the board eventually warps due to the unit overheating so often.
I'm not sure, but the combination of the internet(TM), slashdot and Firefox just alerted me to some suspicious governmental behavior in Chicago...
I want an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on this thing that uses google's vast amounts of data on everyone to automatically call whomever I _should_ be talking to at the time.
Caltech's bookstore will let you show proof of a cheaper price at several online retailers (amazon included) and they'll match that price. You might not want to purchase anything else at the crazy prices they have there, but at least they keep the textbooks competitive with online options.
I, for one, welcome the new swarming overlords nearest to me, so that they might welcome the rest.

still didn't see tank size though...
The article doesn't say... so how do we know how astoundingly efficient this thing is?
Seriously, is this guy some real human version of Butthead?
...and it still had flavor. Suck on that one Stride!

While settle for just a wodden case? Luddite, "Nature's computer company" will make you a computer entirely out of natural materials.
