I wonder if this will cut down on the number of pr0n sites that register commonly-misspelled domain names... e.g. www.whitehouse.com, www.alttavista.com, etc. (okay, the second one redirects you to the real site nowadays, but you get the idea)
...and, now that I RTFA, I guess this will only apply to unregistered domain names, so as long as the pr0n folks keep registering typo-domain-names, people will still be able to claim they got "accidentally redirected to a pr0n site" when they're caught at work.
...the state Supreme Court ruled that property and trade secrets rights outranked free speech rights in this case...
Right, because you know, since property and trade secrets rights are guaranteed in the Zeroth Amendment to the Bill Of Rights, they outrank the First Amendment, don't they?
Even if the robots weren't completely autonomous, "messenger bots" would allow, in my opinion, high-level people to travel to unsecured locations safely.
Or, to take your fanciful idea to an even more outlandish extreme, perhaps some kind of device for remote communication could be created, which would allow a person in one place to hold a conversation with another person in a far-off land, without actually dispatching a messenger or postal-letter. By harnessing the power of the electron-current, which as I'm sure you know is many dozens of times swifter than the fastest steam-ship, such tele-phonic conversations could be made possible. And, though it may seem to you, the gentle reader, to be the most outlandish type of science-fiction, perhaps this new tele-phonic science could be used by the captains of industry to contact the everyday citizen in their own homes at a convenient hour, such as at meal-time.
Ah, truly, the wonders of our age shall know no bounds!
On a different note, doesn't it seem like the Microsoft bunch and hangers-on spend A LOT more ad money here than Open Source?
Probably because many of the Open Source websites that would advertise on Slashdot are themselves also just websites who make their money from ad revenue. As the world discovered in the late 90's, too many levels of indirection in website-ad-revenue-linkage means the Second Law eventually reduces everyone's profit to zero.
I need to give them something back./. still allows you to read the content, post on the content, etc, w/o having to pay.
Hmm - Maybe you should log in as a non-subscribing user and check out the huge.NET ad in the middle of the page! Somebody sure seems to be making money from my browsing...
With a few extra advances in holographic technology this could lead to input devices that a perfectly tailored to your body shape and preferences.

I was worried when I read this article, until I remembered that I am immune to this kind of thing ever since I bought the software that prevents my computer from broadcasting an IP address. I'm so glad I clicked on that popup ad!
Zigbee is the trademark for IEEE 802.15 Personal Area network low data rate standard.
Actually that's not entirely true. The 802.15.4 standard defines the physical radio behavior of the personal area network; ZigBee is the logical network and application software that runs on top of 802.15.
From the photos accompanying the article, it looks as if the thing strapped to his back was less of a "fin" and more of a small set of wings. If so, the message here is basically "Man puts on tiny hang glider and, after being air-dropped from high altitude, glides for a few miles."
I forsee a day when humans will attach themselves to ever-larger winged contraptions and travel further and further with each passing year. Perhaps, some day in the far future, these "aero-planes" might be equipped with powerful "jet-engines" which would enable the intrepid pioneers of the sky to travel across the very oceans themselves. Perhaps pretzels could also be served on these voyages.
I'd like to remind them that, as a Slashdot poster with Excellent karma, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground agar caves!
I could already have told you that pipe technology greatly enhances enjoyment of the pretty colors and swirly lights so common in today's high-end games.
Even if the hardware is better, proprietary hardware is bad. It limits the choices of what you can do with the devicce you own.
Proprietary != Incompatible.
The new Sony CPU mentioned in the article is a fairly normal ARM core with Sony's choice of peripherals built on-chip. This is a perfectly normal thing to do in the industry.
It's based on a survey done by AMD asking the definitions of words such as megahertz
I submit that people would be much less confused if AMD would spec its processors in terms of megawatts instead. After all, we already know they are excellent space heaters.;)

I think I'll pass for now, but give me a call when these come equipped with Genuine People Personalities.
