Well, I do agree with you, but I guess some parents feel differently. Found this article about how great cells in schools are. A few good points, but I still think they are too distracting and annoying.
Actually, an intelligent image search engine like that would be really cool.
Not just for finding people like you mentioned, but say for example you just bought some antique "thing" at a garage sale. You don't know what it's called or what it's for, but it's old. So you snap a pic and an image engine identifies it or at least comes up with a lot of stuff that looks similar. Completely unfeasable today, but someday it will be possible and really sweet. Closest thing to it I think I remember a/. article about how compressable an image is with gzip is an indicator as to whether it is biological or not.
The operating system is officially released on the 23rd. However there have been several models of handhelds out for a little while that come with 2003. I've got a Toshiba like you that I got 3 days ago that came with it. It's an e355.
I just got a Toshiba e355 and like the article says, it includes windows media player 9. The biggest thing for me anyway, is that pressing the home button brings up Home Version 2.00 with a games tab, a programs tab, a main tab and a running tab. The running tab makes it much much easier to actually close programs. I haven't noticed much else different between 2003 and 2002(I used to have an HP1910 until it stopped syncing and Best Buy replaced it with this three days ago.)
And for any wondering about the Toshiba e355, I can transfer files fine using Synce
Well that's how it would seem if you read Slashdot. You see, Slashdot reports important Linux news and large-scale adoption of Linux. Even a few other news venues sometimes report on this new-fangled free Linucks thing. You see, it is out of the ordinary, so it is reported. Why would anyone ever report John's Heating and Air-Conditioning of Trenton, New Jersey uses Microsoft Windows on all their machines?
Open up a phone book and find the business section. See all those business? Most of them use Windows exclusively.
Don't be mislead by the fact that news sources report on things worthy of being reported.
But don't worry. We'll catch up someday.
I've read it before and disagree. I don't think that the issues expressed would be serious if pages were only cached as long as they are on the front page.
Google does it, so why can't Slashdot, at least for a little just while, to balance the load?
Well, never done this before, let's see if I can help take part of the load off of his personal account with his isp.
Mirror
There needs to be automatic Slashdot mirroring for sites where it's unclear if the owner can handle the bandwidth, or if the owner has to pay for bandwidth. Obviously Slashdot.org can handle it, so they should do it.
Yes indeed. 6000 times faster is possible, but 6000 times faster than what? 6000 times faster than broadband? Maybe if you're downloading a video with one very slow hop in between, and then you all implemented this it could be 6000 times faster. But there's no way it could be 6000 times faster always, or even on average. Go download aol instant messenger and look at the speed. I just did it and got 308 KB/sec, and I've seen as high as 440 from AOL's servers. You mean I could download that same file from them at 1,848,000 KB/sec or 2,640,000 KB/sec with this protocol? (Please just kindly correct my converson if I'm wrong, but that would be about 1.8 and 2.6 gigs a second would it not?) Forget about the protocol, that's rediculous for most hardware. Wide ultra2 scsi only transfers 80 megabytes per sec. How would I download. Can today's ram and motherboards even work with gigs a second?
Is this really as rediculous as it seems to me? I always get confused by the big B/little B byte/bit distinction.
I think music subscription type services are a great idea, but only if implemented right. It must be a superior product to current peer to peer networks, addressing their weaknesses.
1. The service must be unlimited; unlimited downloads, unlimited burning, and no DRM of any kind. I should be able to transfer it to any portable mp3 device. A pay per play system is braindiseased. Charge a flat $30 a month and you are getting more money from the consumer than the consumer would ever spend on cd's.
2. Lossless format should be available as well, though making it available on demand would be impractical.
3. I should be able to download this music from other users of the service for better speeds and for the health of the network. Only music made available by the service can be shared across the network, and all downloads from peers are verified by md5 checksums before transfers start.
4. If everything is legal, a very very useful central database could be developed to aid in searching. Track user downloads. Yes that's what I said. Use the data to develop a system like Amazon.com, where the service reccomends other music to me according to what others download and keep in their collection.
5. The selection must be greater than that on the peer to peer networks. Even if the service only made available the music of one major label, if it made ALL of it available, that would still beat the peer to peers.
6. There are users of current peer to peer networks who don't like to share what they've downloaded. Force them to keep downloaded music available to the network for at least a while before they can delete it or transfer it out of their shared folder. This may be unpleasant, but it would create a healthier network.
Oh dear lord she was not "hacking the matrix"!!!! Since you didnt bother to watch the movie very closely, the least you could do is read the other slashtard's posts first.
I've actually considered such a thing, and I'm sure that they do in fact exist.
Just because many people who are big fans of computers and math and science don't like English doesn't mean that none do. I've got ACT scores of 36 reading, 35 english, 34 math and 34 science reasoning, and SAT scores of 760 verbal and 680 math. If I had the time and money, there is no reason I couldn't pursue a humanities degree on the side. Unfortunately, my scholarship money only covers so much and computer engineering is what I want to DO with my life; Even though I might be a little better at something else, I would absolutely hate a career in English.
The issue is one of the practicality of double majoring in unrelated fields, not of any lack of double interest.
And yes I know you were just making fun of his spelling of the word "knew."
Ah yes I forgot about that. Yes you are right, Smith copied himself into that guy and then that guy dialed out of the Matrix. Wasn't thinking about that.
WARNING MORE SPOILERS.
I don't disagree with your matrix within a matrix evaluation, but I disagree with a couple of your points.
Three, Neo was able to destroy those sentinels by THOUGHT outside the Matrix.
Ummm. No he didn't that was an emp pulse. Remember at the end when they were talking about someone triggering one, and they werent sure if it was a mistake or intentional, but that there was that one survivor and then that supercool cliffhanger?
Four, Neo can see the future.
OK, That is a pickle. I think the explanation though is either that he really is "The One" like for real, like Jesus. He has real psychic powers and such in the real world. OOORRR, that like the architect I think was hinting, even though he can escape the Matrix physically, he can never escape it completely. The architect seemed to say that Neo's thoughts and characteristics were still the product of the way in which his brain was developed within the Matrix. That image of the future could have been planned and planted in Neo's mind sometime in the past when he was connected. Then because of it's disturbing nature, he has recurring dreams about it. Hard to say.
Five, Agent Smith was able to transfer his consciousness into the 'real world'.
When was this?
1st guy buys a magazine with a hundred dollar bill and gets $95 in change. Second guy in suit comes running in two minutes later, flashes fake FBI badge, and holds up a picture to the cashier of the guy who just bought the magazine. "This man has been passing passing counterfeit money in the area. Have you seen him?"
"Yeah he just bought a magazine."
"Did he happen to pay with a hundred dollar bill?"
"Why... Why yes he did about two minutes ago!"
"May I see it? Hmmm. Yes it's counterfeit. I'm going to have to confiscate this for evidence. Which way did he go?"
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, it is.
That's probably because you weren't subjected to Keanu's ass-crack. That ruined it a little for me.

And here are some specs for it.
Toaster PC Reference to "Linux Fridge" In 2nd paragraph.

He damn well deserves it.
Nobody cares. Casemodding is a fine example of uptardation.
Why would I want a riceburner for a computer, and why would I care if others do?
Are you a fucking idiot? I said MUSIC PIRACY! It's not piracy if it's not copyrighted.
I think music subscription type services are a great idea, but only if implemented right. It must be a superior product to current peer to peer networks, addressing their weaknesses.

"It's a troll because it guards a bridge and steals children.
You see, that wasn't funny either."
Is there something wrong with me if I thought that was funny as well?
Maybe I should rethink things considering that I apparently am unable to properly close an html tag or use the preview button.
