Both the 500/600 series Amiga mouse and the newer 1200/3000 series mouse were excellent designs. They could really take a beating and although they looked akward, they fit very well into the hand.
The American people do not pick and choose their foreign policies. As much as we'd like to think we do, we don't control what the govt. does.Most of the people complaining in here are average joes like you and I who have absolutely no say whatsoever in the way things are.
Wether you have any power, real or illusionary is irrelevant. Most of you still support your government what ever they do. Then again most of you doesn't even vote, so your point isn't entirely invalid.
Oh no, that's right. You don't support your government. You support your country. And your country is some warm fuzzy feeling in your hearts that make you cry on 11/9 or something like that. Fuck off.
ah.. anonymous coward, if you could even point out ONE of those countries on a map, I would be very impressed indeed.
The 'brain drain' is an American myth perpetuated to comfort you in your feelings of inadequacy. "Yes, sure. All the brightest scientist in the US are Europeans, but at least all of them want to live here rather than over there."
If you hadn't previously noted, it's the winners who (re)write the history. In this case, that equates to the ones with most karma. I can say whatever I want and get away with it.
Today I will celebrate the death of a man that actively participated in the slaughtering of hundreds of thousands.
Developing the nuclear bomb was right. Advocating it's use on civillians as a deterrence, was not.
Neither was his branding of colleuges that disagreed with him as communists and traitors. The only reason Einstein wasn't one of them, was that he was already too famous.
Why do people perpetuate this myth? Sure it's a nice story, and sure, it might even be true. But the word 'bug' as in 'error in a program', wasn't coined until much later at the MIT media labs (think maybe Negroponte himself were involved).
Nokia has branched into mobile phones.. from tires, rubber boots and sattelite receivers.
When I was a kid, we had a Nokia sattelite receiver (and dish). That's a long time ago now. They started making mobilephones only fifteen years or so after that.
can anybody tell me why Americans are so fascinated by guns and ammo?
Didn't Slashdot have an article about putting a webserver in a bullet some time ago? Their reasoning must be something like this; guns are cool, linux is cool, let's combine them! That's like, really creative and newsworthy.
Let me give you nuts a wet dream tonight: Imagine an American flag, running Linux!
For those of you who didn't RTFA: This is essentially a little hard drive which rides around in your backpack (note: I don't carry a backpack all the time; do you?) and can connect, wirelessly, to any machine you access which recognizes wireless devices. Basically, as far as I can tell, this has the same net effect as having a home directory on an NFS server someplace and using it to save your settings as you move from machine to machine.
Again: Bo-ring.
When I saw "personal server, no IO", I was hoping this would be a manifestation of the keystone portion of my idea for a personal wireless network Your devices would all notice one another, and the width of functionality of any given device would be dependant on what you were carrying. If you we out taking pictures with your digicam and were carrying a server, the images would be transfered to the (presumably very expansive) drive in the server. If you had your cell phone, the images would be sent off to your home computer, as well.
Repeat en masse. PDAs display and do I/O, headphones play music and the real work is taken care of automagically behind the scenes in some secure fashion. You'd effectively allow the elimination of multi-use devices which don't do any job very well by allowing your devices to play their strong points, and you could customize your loadout just in what you grab in the morning when you're loading your pockets.
Anyhow, this ain't it, and that's disappointing -- somebody must have hit my verbosity flag today, and I'm sincerely sorry for the pain that I've caused you all...

Who says I'm angry.
I'm just trying to treat you with the disrespect you deserve.
Wether you have any power, real or illusionary is irrelevant. Most of you still support your government what ever they do. Then again most of you doesn't even vote, so your point isn't entirely invalid.

listening to Americans bitch and moan about how unfairly they are treated.
Have you any idea what your foreign policies are like? Have you any idea why and how indians are allowed to 'take your jobs'?
Your governments mantra is: Free trade and free exchange of labour! And with a whisper they add (As long as it benefits US corporations)
Here's a newsflash for you. What benefits American corporations benefits the American government, but not necessarily the general US populace.
ah.. anonymous coward, if you could even point out ONE of those countries on a map, I would be very impressed indeed.

Don't even go there. Americans don't want to hear this story. It's not what they're taught in school.
Millions of Americans (!) would have died, had the bombs not been dropped. It's in the history books, Truman said it!

Hehe. Truman's famous 10.000 American soldiers which later grew to millions, proportionally with his bad conscience.
..and Railroad Tycoon, and Civilization and..
Actually, what I meant was that, the way he phrased it, it sounded like he would only be happy if he got the capital punishment himself.
If you get the capital punishment you will be happy?
You must really hate that spam.

Your legal system is so nice.
Torture, imprisonment without trial, secret trials, military trials for civilians...
It's ok, because China is even worse.

Turrican!
Why is this important? The article seems to leave that important bit out.
Does this somehow preserve the energy better?
Why are Google always linking to the Chilling Effects website? Why aren't they hosting the DMCA Notices themselves?
Would they still be in DMCA violation if the DMCA notice with the removed links were hosted by them?
What about Chilling Effects? Are they in DMCA violation by hosting those notices?
You must've had some shitty acid then.
is this Euro week on Slashdot?
How on earth am I to interpret > 60 Km? How many miles are that?
First the poll, now this, I'm starting to wonder about the editors bias.
In these times, just like our troops, our corporations need our support!
Corporations supply employment. Do you want to be unemployed?
Gotta admit being a little disappointed by this.
