As the country gets more and more broadband users, are we getting more and more bandwidth, or are we just spreading it out. I personally feel that my bandwidth has gone from sufficent to insufficent... how do the rest of you feel?
Okay okay, so for regular people we are talking about a nice, expensive, digital, disposible camera... But I'd expect so much more from slashdotters. A lot of you out there are saying that you rent the camera, they reuse it 8 times... blah blah blah.... The fact is that you can PURCHASE THE CAMERA. There is no rental agreement, you do not have to garuntee that you will return the camera to the company so they can recycle it.
This should be great news! On-board this baby has a 16MB memory of some type(probably great for a lot of projects) and even more importantly a COLOR LCD screen. All this for $20? 20megapixle digital camera parts a plus!
This is one of the best hardware parts purchase you could make ever. I for one am going to be running my AIM conversations on an array of digital LCDs taped to the side of my monitor about a year from now.
If they didn't have any other identifying information on you (i.e. your name) then keeping a record of the prints would be pretty worthless, unless they would then compare those prints to other databases (i.e. criminal, etc)... but I agree, a clear violation of your right to privacy.
If it wasn't for procrastination, would there even be a slashdot? I mean, how many of you out there are at work right now reading this when you really should be doing something else... Just throwing that into the mix.
You're right, if technology doesn't exist today to take care of the problems of tomorrow we probably shouldn't go foward with it. I mean, I always hated inovation too.
Ummm, this happens to e-mail all the time, and I don't see people out there crying for e-mail systems to be seperate devices from desktop computers... yeah there is the potential for hazzards, but if we backed down ever time there was a danger we wouldn't be very far, now would we...
Product integration is a great idea. I'm happy my phone has a digital camera in it, I'm happy I can sync it to outlook. Both my PDA and Digital camera are factors of 10 better than the tools on my moto V400.... but when I'm steping out of the house it's nice to not have to gear down unnessicarly.
A phone needs to be just everything it can possibly be.
How about the malicious code writer that actually caused your problem. I agree that good OS software should be implimented no matter what device it is running, but let's not let the REAL cuprit slide on this one.
I just graduated in May from University of Connecticut with a Computer Science and Engineering degree. I found a job by the begining of August... but I'm the rareity. Most of my friends have had a real hell of a time finding jobs, and even the job I took didn't pay as much as I was hoping. Finding a CS job right now is not so easy. Is the market saturated with computer people... Are employers taking experience over education? Is it really worth it to get a CS degree, or would it be more valible (and a couple factors of 10 less expensive) to get a bunch of certifications?
I just don't see why the PHP hating is going on... PHP is awesome, and from the latest update to your site "Well it's finally here. This is the 4th version of the site and I am much happier with it than all of the others. There has been many improvements to the backend of this site as well which make it much more pleasant to update."
mod_perl has advantages and disadvantages, but for what people are using the net for right now, and the cost/time of development, PHP is the way to go as far as I'm concerned./. has done a great job with their site, and I love how it works... would it work well as a PHP implemented project? It'd probably work better.
This is just kinda pointless... No one to go out and actatively enforce, and meta-tags aren't used by search engines anyway... I guess if a court was trying to throw the book at a company who's website was in violation of other laws that this might be something they could stack on, but other than that it seems like it's not that big of a deal.
Slashdot Mirror
How could DarWine not emulate unless macs start shipping with x86 processors?
Anyone have any forsight on this one?
I like the type of Reg Free links that you don't actually have to registar to use.... but that's just me.
I didn't want anyone to think it was possessive.
I'm about as useless as a broken lightbulb today... thanks for the help
how about that second link though, the beer drinking bear... too funny...
cheers, thanks.
I'm about as useless as a lightswitch in a cave right about now... but how about that second link about the beer drinking bear.
DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whitesheet on LCD:

looks like it should be very easy to use for other projects.
Here is the whitesheet on the LCD, should be very easy to integrate with other projects.

Thanks, and this one should be modd'ed up, I obviously am not very space savvy and that's why I was asking the question.
Isn't it possible, since Mars does not have a thick atmosphere like earth, that rocks that are found on Mars's surface are not nessicarly from mars?

Yes! Finally science has found a cure for my procrastination, now where can I get one of these worker monkeys?

But USA represents much more than 6% of the world's technological advancements, especially engineering ones. So it is suprising.

Yet you yourself use PHP for your own site (which you refference in your sig)? Intresting.

I didn't realize it before just reading the press release.... but this book is freaking old... what stirred the pot on this all of a sudden?
