Just wondering if this would disrupt the operation of a space elevator in any way or harm it. I mean, there's no way you can infinitely keep a storm away from one of those things.
You don't understand. This is like Slashdot linking to another Slashdot which in turn links to a story. What should happen is that Slashdot just links to the story.
What I want to know is why Slashdot editors accept Roland's site for the story, yet ignore links to the original site which must undoubtably get submitted as well. What is the incentive for them?
I don't mind supporting a site that has the original story on it. I DO mind supporting a site run by a leech who simply submits links to his website which in turn has links to the original story. I just want to cut out the middleman.
Just because they got a patent on it doesn't mean people can't use it. It just means they can't use it in the US without breaking some laws. Anybody who isn't affected by this patent is more than welcome to make software with it.
Make sure you don't click on any of the links in the story. It was submitted by Roland, and by doing so you would just be contributing to his ad revenue and encouraging him to keep posting on Slashdot.
God I wish we could have an option to not display Roland stories.
"Humanity is multi-dimensional. There are those individuals who can quiet the mind totally and in so doing raise their consciousness to tune into the higher realms. The bible and other religious doctrines talk about this a great deal........Can you quiet your mind where not a single thought occurs for 15 minutes? 5 minutes? 1 minute? 10 seconds? Try it and see."
Ok, not to flame, but where's your proof that humanity is multi-dimensional? How do you know that they tap into "higher realms"? Where's the proof? The bible and other religious doctrines talk about a LOT of things a great deal, and many of them are scientifically proven to be completely false.
And how do you know that when you quiet your mind you're not just hearing your subconscious thoughts? I really don't think anything too special is going on here, however if you can provide some scientifically tested and peer-reviewed proof of what you posted about, I'd be very interested in reading it.
First, if this is a dupe, why don't I see the first story?
Second, I just think I figured out a way for the networks to make money off of downloaded shows aside from charging for the download.
The real problem arises when people edit out commercials and having the ability to skip through them, which the networks hate.
What if there were small ads at the bottom of the screen? You know, like the kind that pop up to let you know what show is on next? I realize some might find this intrusive, but if they're only on for say...10 seconds, and there aren't that many during the whole show, I think that would be a fair tradeoff (if the download were free of course).
On season 2 episode 9 of Arrested Development which I just downlaoded, there was a popup for the Simpsons after the show, and I know that it caught my eye.
As someone who loves these types of images, I have to say, this was complete crap. Not to be flamebait, but there was absolutely no depth in any of these pictures, and they were too small to make out any detail. Nice idea, but bad execution. I'd have much rather seen a 3d rendered model of it.
No kidding. We have the technology, and it would add a whole new layer to games out there now.
Example: All I've ever wanted for Battlefield 1942 was the ability to have VR goggles so when I fly I can turn my head and see around in the cockpit as kind of a free mouselook while I can still steer with the joystick.
He gets stories submitted to Slashdot for the sole purpose of increasing his ad revenue. I recommend strongly against visiting his blog and contributing to his ad revenue.
And there you have the reason why this doesn't make sense to you. Perhaps us "normal" people simply aren't able to comprehend how this works, regardless of how clearly he explains it.
"What did your big name school that took you an additional 2 years (2 years you were not earning 40-60K and also not saving for retirement), that cost anywhere from 2-3 times a much make you?"
This question is a troll. Money does not make your worth. Period.
However, since you want to just make blanket assumptions about me, let me explain something to you.
I am finishing up my last year at a 4 year art school generally considered to be one of the top ones in the country (MCAD). I'm in advertising/marketing, and my program has the same "real world" focus that many of these schools like DeVry have. We pull in top industry leaders to teach classes (some of the founders of VERY famous ad agencies), and we work on real projects with real clients. Its great. I'm not knocking that in the least bit.
However, we don't advertise on tv. Its always been my impression that the school can't be that great if they have to advertise on tv.
And frankly, 6 out of 70 graduating is shit. That really says a lot about the quality of students that your school pulls in.

I'd love some justification for that statement.
Because SOME company (not naming any names) has a good PR department.
How would this affect carbon nanotubes?

Well, depends if she wants to work for Milton Bradley or not.
