This display is cool, but practical applications are few and far between, right now. Probably we'll need a display like this. I can see it does have the advantage of keeping the last image it had if it were to lose power, but it prolly has lousy refresh and response times. It's e-ink!
In a related note, my email address is hotmail, so it was kind of a joke. But I could still keep my 1337ness by saying I am bringing them down from the inside.
Don't even be visible that much. Live in a house under someone elses name, be unlisted in the phonebook, don't volunteer any information to anyone unless *absolutely* neccessary(such as a job, mortgage, etc.) In non-essential things, always use fake info.
If you look at the rights we've lost in the past 50 years, and then multiplyit by 10 or so, that will be the America my grandkids will live in, and that scares me. Despite your Marxist tone, you do have amazing points. It boils down to this:
America is Fucked up, and needs to change.
Will it happen soon? Doubtful.
Will it be easy? No, we need a wake-up call severe enough to show people what happens when you screw over everyone. I am betting the wake-up call will be when we run out of oil, but I digress. We need to let it be known, that unless we're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all.
If I were a woman, I would slip them in my boyfriend/husbands food for kicks.
This reminds me of the simpsons......

Teaching pilots to fly the airplane, Pearson said, really involves teaching them how to use all the data flowing into the cockpit. "It's an extraordinarily easy airplane to fly," Pearson said. "They learn very quickly to fly it, and we are teaching them how - and they are teaching themselves - how to employ it, and that's different. How do you use the information you have in the cockpit to go and kill somebody and stay alive and execute your mission."
Instructor: The F-22 is so simple a child could pilot it. *points to FLY, and NO FLY buttons*
I enjoyed it, however, I am not on ArsTechnica's forums, and don't have the time to stay current with another message board right now. I think it is a good summary of where Apple is now, and what they might need to do differently in the future, or what the consequences of some of their actions might be. A lot of the stuff I've read on ArsTechnica was way to technical, and didn't really get to the point. Maybe I was reading the wrong articles, but I believe this to be a nice little concise summary.
LISTEN TO THIS MAN! I just went to the Motorhead, Dio, and Iron Maiden concert last night, and still can not hear! Motorhead played so loud thatit hurt my ears. I got some earplugs for the Dio set, but took them out fo Maiden. Needless to say, I still can not hear. Hopefully by tommorrow I will be able too.
We do suck at assesing risk. We think that 1 soldier a day dying in Iraq is so bad, whereas that death rate is lower than the murder rate in Washington,D.C. or close to it. We also don't let kids play tag or football or dodgeball, because we have to protect them from every little thing. Parents form what resemble emergency room triage teams when a kid skins his knee playing soccer. It pisses me off.
Well, I am a pool operator by trade, lifeguard by profession, and the ways to filter water ALWAYS contaminate. If they use sand filters, you get a lot of radioactive sand. If you use cartridge filters, you have alot of radioactive paper. Diatomaceous Earth filters are probably out of the question. There are probably others. I assume that by filtering, they are trying to transfer the radioactivity to the filter media. I don't know the specifics, but the process is either designed so that A) Environmentalists will quit their bitching about the immediate threat to the environment,or B) The filters can lose their dangerous radiation levels afetr a few days, so long term disposal is not an issue. I am pretty sure the filter plan just deals with the immediate threat that irradiated ground water is dangerous, but relies on careful, long-term storage for the objects doing the cleaning.
But yeah, I probably was wrong about it creating more waste water, although the water will never be *truly* clean again. Filters can't garuntee that. They can just specify a percent that leaves only a safe amount of radiation.
"Current treatment procedures generally involve pumping out the contaminated groundwater, filtering it, and pumping it back, which is rather expensive."
Wouldn't that solution just make lots more radiation contaminated water and parephenalia?
I help everyone out in the game, because there is a lot of social commentary in the game. With the Ilthorian, when the kids made fun of him, it reminded me of days of legal segregation. I told the kids to scram, and Helped the dude out. Then when you go to the undercity, I gave the beggars 20 credits, because it would help them out. KOTOR is a really good game because it lets you act how you want, yet, there are consequenses for being a jerk. But I also like how many of the quests illustrate a given problem in society.
I respectfully disagree. If a group is not following the rules of the internet, then simply cut them off. The **AA insists on cutting off information, so don't let them get any information from you. If a group gets shunned from the internet, it wil make them think hard about whatthey have done..
You obviously dont understand railguns. Go to 4hv.org, and go to the electronic weapons thread. Or go to railgun.com. A railgun works via a high voltage pulse going through the side rails, which causes eddy currents in the rail behind the projectile. These eddy currents make the the rails repel, but the side rails can't move, so only the rail in the center gets moved, violently. Im am pretty sure that is what it is, but I could be wrong.
Im sure M$ likes this. First of all (main reason), they probably save a butt-load of money on tech support when n00bs who haven't RTFM mess up installation somehow(It's Windows for christ's sake! Not (Inset Linux Distro Here)!). Lastly, it is a strong discouragement to people who foolishly think that they OWN their computers and software. I mean, who needs a brain now? The computer will do all of our thinking from now on.
Hold on there chief, don't go making threats against our commander in chief. You may not like him, but why threaten his life? Do you know him personally? Is he that bad of a Guy?
I agree with you when you say that America's War trivializes war, which is not a good thing. And I will skip making the ever-so-obvious troll about Mac users getting it last because they are gay or whatever, or a joke about "don't ask, don't tell". Just don't threaten OUR president.
Yeah, that is a good point. Apple comes out with something uber-cool, and the PC world just sits back and says: "We just increased our processor speed by.5 gHz" or "The New version of Windows will be out in 6 months". Apple works on getting things done that haven't been done before, or done at all, consequences be damned.
It wouldn't be enforceable *fairly*, however, it could be enforced with predjudice. Remember the anit-Sodomy laws? The last guys to get busted got busted when their neighbor didn't like them and called the police when they were having sex. It is not hard to see how this would b enforecd.
Apple has turned their business around and generated a lot of mainstream press this year. They finally made their Powermacs top of the line, they made the 17in laptop, the new iPods, and it now looks really good for Apple. They should hive themselves a pat on the back.
And on an unrelated note, this may be a First Post.

"Well I would still recommend waiting a year. Then they will have faster chips."
Yeah, Apple is always trying to screw the customer, by selling computers, and then coming out with faster ones!
Half the posts here are trolls who say Macs are slow,gay, etc.
Personally, I wish I had the money to get a G5 for college. My friend picked an Alienware over a G5, but I have a feeling he will regret it.

Yeah, the ironic thing about Iraq was, is that our Army is so good, we are better at killing OURSELVES, than the enemy is at killing us.
