I see this technology eventually being used to coat devices, producing a "display-skin".
Imagine an iPod without a screen, but which displays the song info directly on the iPod's case. Combine that with touch-sensitive input, and we have some slick UIs.
In an ideal world I'd have the PS3 and/or Xbox 360 hooked up to a hi-def, big screen with 5.2 sound in my living room and the joyous Revolution all to myself in the den.
The crux of Capt. is that he is the American ideal. Born from WW2 propaganda and thoroughly believing that The U.S. is the greatest nation on earth. Frozen for decades and now reborn, his naive, innocent view of morality now stands in stark contrast to the current reality.
Even Bucky has his place. He shared all of Cap's ideals, but had the benefit (curse?) of growing up through the scandals.
I would love to have seen Kubric take on Captain America as a dissection of patriotism, propaganda and morality.
Unfortunately, I'm much more likely to see a Michael Bay effort with jiggy cameras and car chases.
I work with mainframes myself and I can whole heartedly agree with TFA.
Mainframes may not be the fastest growing area in IT, but they will be around for decades to come.
Remember: All your savings and all your bank debts only exist on mainframes. They control your reality.:)
Any government agency which uses some of the largest computers in the world to crunch through chaotic systems is a good government agency.
Also: Weather-Girls!
Transmetropolitan's Spider Jerusalem takes a look at the evolution of newspapers from paper to the Internet and asks: 'It's investigated and it's written, but is it still newspapers?'
Now and again we get a glimpse of what the future could become. I think this bulky watch is one of those glimpses.
Imagine having all you vital signs monitored 24 hours a day. When there's a serious problem, your stats and GPS position are sent to the nearest A&E.
We'd wonder how we ever lived without it.
Slashdot Mirror
Jar-Jar and Midi-chorlians are no worse than Ewoks and handmade lightsabers.
The series jumped the shark when the actors were forced to stand in green rooms for short takes. Emote, damn you! EMOTE!
If you ever see another post like the parent, which seems too stupid to be true, please assume it is humour.

Just a hint.
Our forefathers had the same options we have: accept the system, or force it to change. They just chose differently.
Times have not slipped, but maybe we have.

"Matter cannot touch the speed of light in vacuum; energy (e.g. light) cannot exceed it"
"Matter" and "energy" are two analogies for the same entity.
Not trying to sound preachy, but our clumsy language should describe concepts, not define them.
"Next DVD Format War Still Wide Open"
I other words "Still No News on the DVD Format War".
I'll just pick up a Playstation3 and hope Blu-Ray wins out.

It just looks like beautifully childish fun.
I take it "Silent Scope 360" will be a launch title so.
But will it be single-player, or a squad-based multiplayer???
Will it ever be illegal to by a plot of land in the middle of nowhere and live off it? To live separately from corporations, money and government?
Grizzly Adams meets The Good Life. Ideally with less donkies and more Felicity Kendal.
It does seem to give an excellent insight into the blog communities.

I think this is what you're looking for.
enabling a car to drive more than 500 km on a 50 L tank
Or to put it more clearly: 13.75 km on a 1.375 L tank.

I long for the day, in the far future, when I can lose an arm is a horrific fishing accident and automatically grow it back again.
Of course, waiting five years to have a toddler's arm hanging out of your shoulder isn't ideal either...
The whole reason of returning library books/media is so that others may borrow it.
Surely this is not necessary when borrowing an easily reproducible copy.
Finally, I'll be able to drill into that 10ft diamond I found in the garden.
I'm sure there's gold in the center of it!

Alarm bells are ringing... Why would Google want mobile numbers? More direct advertising? Relevant, SMS Spam straight to your pocket?
Glad I got it in beta.
Or, to put it another way (and miss-quote The Simpsons):
"It's just rocket science, not brain surgery."
That's one webcam link which will not be slashdotted.
For once, the goatse trolls may well be on-topic.
Very true. :)
Perhaps there is a handy slashdot argument script doing the rounds.
l_slashdot.argueFor("Soldiers in Iraq");
With a bit of ranting, whining, and over all dislike for the dreaded stuff we need to fix every day.
Well that will certainly make a nice change from Slashdot's usual calm, reasoned discussions.
