I've heard PalmOS bought a while ago the old good BeOS, might it be they are planning to use it as the new PalmOS 6?
By the way, just yesterday I bought a Tungsten T2 and it's my first PDA, and the first thing I see this morning is Palm is changing something, I've broke in cold sweat while reading the story. Slashdot is going to kill me one day.
Anyone there could send him some open source manuals , half the lumpen linuxariat demonizing Microsoft again for suing this boy and now he's going to be a Microsoft expert.
I will probably be less willing to receive any copy of a movie. Since it's so easy to rip and put onto the Internet, I will feel like it was burning my hands, if your copy gets leaked, say, by accident, in a week you can be sued for causing million dollar loss. I will prefer not being in such a danger.
That is in South Europe, just in case anyone doesn't know, we have broad-band over many companies, but main power-line distributor, Iberdrola, is now starting to offer this service with lower prices than other operators. I was thinking to switch to them since they offer lower prices and better service, and they have even run a test program over a few months in the city of Zaragoza and near country area with no known problems, I'm surprised to see that news here.
Let's not forget that in Sims Online, as in other gaming virtual communities the servers and the game are property of a corporation, and thus freedom of speech is out of place. Same as you cannot do a demonstration inside a mall, the owners of the servers can establish the limits of freedom. Their interest is making a profitable game, not having an open and free community. It's not in their interest letting activist "ruin the gaming experience for others" (that is, play and think little).
I forgot, in the bibliography, the three things that define an agent are proactivity, autonomy and reactivity. Mobility is not compelling. Sitting in front of my computer I can do a lot of work without needing to actually go to every place google points out, an agent can help me a lot without moving, even can save a lot of work for me.
First, phisical agents do move, but not only them, agents that can serialize themselves, and be senden to another node where they can actually be exectuted, obtain information and processor time and return with output for his "master" do exist, in my research group we have people working with them.
Say bye bye to old-fashioned object-oriented computing and embrace a new era of autonomous agents. Phisical proactive agents will be the mind of our robots, data-mining web-harvesters soft-agents are already populating the Internet, personal agents are being developed to advise us from our handheld computers. Revolutions Comes, and a new era for IT is here.
Hey, it was the same song for me, and that afternoon may little cousin who was about six came to my place and put it over and over again until I hated the song. My reason? It's was the smallest song in the fserve i was looking at by IRC, and with my 14400 modem i won't forget that downloading!
Well, I think he is kinda the soul of the movement, is like if Stallman says anything about SCO, he can't change anything, but all we linux-geeks are waiting for His Holy Word:)
I think it would be tempting to hack off a few street lamps and go wireless at home. Isn't it a bit expensive to put it in the streets? At least here in Spain I'm worry to think they wouldn't see the month finish before someone stole them and sold them.
Well, it's sad but almost all Hollywood films can be summarize like this. I mean, we see less and less originality and creativity in films because it's more business than art and it's risky to try something new.
I'm not familiar with copyright laws, and less with USA copyright laws since I live in Europe, but seeing Mickey free of copyright will be a major shock for everyone. Then we will see if it's really a piece of 20th century culture or just will fall when makes no profit for Disney.
When I heard about this first time I thought that Disney has probably the best 2D animators working for them, wich is a pitty, since their stories suck so much. But if all thouse people are fired and start working on their own, maybe they choose to animate good stories and we can see something more than boring musicals with no plot. The ones to lose more about that can be Pixar if they are forced to animate that crap.
Well, I'm not familiar with this technology, but in something similar I saw in a congress, the thing was that the computer learned to discriminate a very small number of mind states, in that case were, for quadraplegic, moving the arm up, down, left, right, and the like. You don't have to keep a steady mind all the session, but try to think not in the wrong things, and it's simple, I can refuse to move my arm with no problem for hours. I'm with you in that it won't be a proper user interface for many time, but for disabled people, it can be great, i mean, check this blowing interface in gnome, i wouldn't use it, but I can use a keyboard, not everyone can. Another thing, about speech recognition, try to be coding by voice for ten hours in a row, and see your throat bleed.
Well, about a year ago, in the Catalan Congress on Artificial Intelligence, I attended to an invited conference of a technology very similar to this. Since it was an invited conference it's not in the lecture notes, and I can't rememeber the name of the researcher, but he had a helmet that readed thoughts and could discriminate between many more than up/down, left/right and the like. The main difference was it required no surgery, they were applying it to humans, since with no surgery, it's easier to make experiments and had some pretty impressive videos.
The research was being done in a European Union research facility.

In spanish is a female form adjective that means "woman who can't speak"
Trying to slashdot the Queen?

At 100 per GC, if you install a linux and control it from a server, you can run a cluster of 10 machines for 1000, cheap and powerful.
Well, when the GameCube was new, nobody figured how to run code in it at home. Now, with the Fantasy Star Online bug, something can be done.
They can afford to send a lego mini-figure and they cannot afford to send a 50 1Mp digital camera?

I've read all this before, in some star wars films forums, but, last I check, it were all rumours made up by fans, nothing official, or even credible.
I think it should be something hell of expensive to put out of the house, easy to steal or broke by accident. Not seems so useful after all.

More likely to run out of ammo.
