Someone REALLY needs to tell this guy to take down the AVI, or at least snippet it and lower the bitrate... It's gonna cost more arms and legs than his staff has.
About offering multiple streams? It's not like it will cause bandwidth problems (You're only going to be listening to one stream at a time no matter what anyway...). I dunno about liscencing fees, but I do know there are free [beer] alternatives.
I'd say that (Although AC is a dumbass, NOTHING has killed billions of people within even a decade's time [guessing]) those at Hiroshima, and I believe Nagasaki, were innocent. Those casualties were mostly civilian. Hate to admit it, but Ami's have done some terrorism as well.
(I reiterate: Not sure if Nagasaki was a civilian target)
Insightful? Interesting maybe, funny likely, but I can't say it takes massive amounts of insight to propose that mugging isn't something to look forward to.
Oh well, just some karma whoring so I can get +5 insightful, too: Rectal exams with sandpaper gloves aren't fun.
WTF? This was obviously a JOKE, come on, mod it funny, not informative (How could it be informative if it were a serious [non-rhetorical] question anyway?).
Note to whoever modded that comment if you have more points, please don't moderate this post. At all. Ever.
Yes, for one it's highly unlikely that something like this will be attempted, at least not until it can be done effectively, as that's not what E-Ink is intended for, it's intended for pages that are for all intents and purposes static. And besides, a cursor moving would not need to refresh the entire page, only that cursor (And even then, only around the rim for the most part -- the rest will stay black as it moves across the screen until the pixel drops off the edge of the cursor).
Oops, give me the same -1 I gave him then. It didn't seem right, but I know that Jupiter is illogically large. I just doubled the radius it gave, "Mean radius 778,412,010 km" without looking at the heading.
Correction: Equatorial diameter 142,984 km
Light a 1' diameter hunk of Magnesium and see how far you can see it. Well, how far you can see it from while you can still see. (No, it's not a 100 ft hunk of magnesium, but the amount of light emitted would be similar).
You realize that a 100km asteroid would not be an asteroid, it would be the second largest planet in our solar system (jupiter being around 140km)--9 times larger than earth. Do you REALLY think that there is any way that we could stop a planet 9 times larger than us that's in a collision course with us? Secondly: We would be able to see a 100km dia. planet coming toward us for decades before impact. I think it would be nice to know when life ends, better than this waiting crap.
-1 Absofucklinglutely Retarded?
Jupiter has a diameter of 1 556 824 020 km. So 100km times about 10^7.
I guess a better way to say that "Dihydrogen Monoxide" would be "a scientific name," since it's arrived at by a standard naming convention (Although it IS an exception, and therefore it's not the right name, but it is a name that describes water sufficiently to be able to know what it is if you know the naming convention).
And "Hydrogen Hydroxide" is not "more correct." Water is molecular, not ionic, even though it does undergo auto-ionization.
What become laws has everything to do with who's ear you got and nothing to do with facts. Ahhh the beauty of American democracy.
How the hell is that offtopic? It's the whole underlying reason this article made it on slashdot... (Maybe could have been a YRO article, message: If there's a retard in your jurisdiction you're fucked.)
I should also note that today, the word "if" has been changed to mean "because."
But seriously, they shouldn't name that stuff so dangerously. I can understand the confusion.
Erm, that's a standard naming convention for molecules. (IUPEC Naming maybe? Can't remember.)
Too expensive for "first in" advertisers, and the language barrier would cause too much uproar. (How many people will be pissed off to see chinese ads filling the sky?) And yes, I know there are certain things (AT&T, etc.) have fairly universally recognizable logos.
It's worth noting that the Lotus source code could be compared to a 200 line "Hello World" in GW-BASIC. From what I've heard it's a mess, and maintaining it would be more difficult than scrapping it (The reason it was "ported" with WINE).

Yeah, these are pretty lame, but I do agree that this is rather hilarious. (Same link as parent... thank you daddy)
"Michael Eisner made me do it."
And by the way, 2 minutes (which I'm typing this in order to waste) is too long to have to wait, should be a 2 minute per story limit).
It doesn't matter, OpenBSD is SCO's next target. If they last long enough, SCO's gonna sue the Pope, I promise.

Is your comment in reference to the fact that mine was moderated both funny and insightful? *grin* Kinda ironic in that Alanis-Morisette kind of way.
It would actually say Buckministerfullerene, which may actually be cooler.
"So sad to die so soon of Buck-... shit... Buckmi... *Whispers from the crowd 'just say Buckyballs'* Buckyballs."
A comment has to be insightful AND funny XOR it is NOT worth reading. Otherwise it makes that statement almost completely meaningless... hehe.
Yes, Google's ads are well targeted and occasionally useful, but I can't say I don't miss google.stanford.edu .

I'm not going to click them anyway, so I don't want to see them
/. ads are somewhat well targeted, and they are the only ads I've EVER clicked.
