No, I'm not retarded. Did you get out of bed on the wrong side this morning? I was merely pointing out robots (no matter how cool) will be everyone's cup of tea.
The answer to this is no, because not all blind people want some impersonal robot. A dog is much nicer as it's alive and can make decisions in the external environment that a robot cannot make.
Mr. Sherman, you say that stealing "is not OK," and yet I have musician friends who cannot get RIAA members to pay them the royalties they are due. While you are asking universities to address your problems, please don't forget that you too can be a "powerful leader in curbing theft of copyright materials on campus." If you'll stop your members from stealing from my friends, and then study some history, maybe I can help you.
I'd love to find out who RIAA members are stealing from. That would really stop them from spouting off that the RIAA "protects" artists by allowing them to make a living!
Well, I'm a relatively conservative Christian who doesn't agree with homosexuality, but I see this as ridiculous. Does this mean that Christian books about Christianity and homosexuality should also be banned? How absurd! So much for freedom of speech.
... I could read it "I am a clueless Gentoo Ricer that thinks that because Gentoo can compile everything from source it's faster", or I could read it that Gentoo is notoriously slow if you run an install that compiles everything from source. It's not clear in the comment.
Firstly, Microsoft was dealing with a universal format - HTML. Sure, they may have buggered it up or extended it, but BOTH Netscape and Microsoft needed to deal with that format. In this case, Microsoft is trying to introduce a new format that noone has adopted yet. I don't think it's going to fly - people have too much invested in Adobe's PDF and PS formats.
Looks like my comment from the other day is correct: Adobe has many reasons to be paranoid as Microsoft would like to steal their market and, again!, monopolise the DTP and prepress market.
Reminds me of Microsoft's foray into colour management. They tried to do it there way and control the market and the market told them to piss off. I think the prespress area is the last untouched market that Microsoft hasn't been able to (effectively) compete in.
Considering how much people on Slashdot like to talk about their privacy being abused, along with their hatred of online marketing and data gathering, I do find it quite ironic that Slashdot did this without some sort of disclosure.
Or could it be that it's the slashdot user who embedded this and the story editors didn't notice?
Well, that assumes that you have a nice, clear set of steps (like the example above). However, if you have a series of very complicated, non-intuitive steps that MUST be done, then commenting is pretty much essential.
... but isn't JasperSoft touting themselves as an open-source company? What's wrong with that? Open source doesn't necessarily mean that they can't charge money for their product! They just have to provide the code. They still have the rights to it.

They are filming "The Memphis Trousers". Pretty amusing :-)
That GAIM thing is my idea! See my patent stopping idea. That's cool.

... please, let her know that at least one Australian guy had a good belly-laugh when they read it. Kudos to your dotty and slightly scary friend!
The original involved monkeys.

How many cinema staff do you think will deny kids an opportunity to see Star Wars? Not many methinks.
Sounds like this was criminal. How did the directors get away with this?
Isn't this getting a little close to spamming? I mean, the app might be good, but the prize seems dodgy.

The retirement capital of Australia, where most people don't have laptops and they temporarily roll out free Wireless networking. Wonderful.
Bacteria based computers? My computer was wiped out by a virus, you insensitive clod!

Next thing we know, someone's going to tell us how terrible Project Gutenberg is!
Uh, wasn't bundling one of the things that Microsoft got snagged for during their anti-trust trial?

I originally thought you said MDMA... in which case, sure! That solves everything.
... speaking of bit masks, anyone seen the source for rpm? The way it handles command line arguments seems a bit silly really.

Can we also have a "jail BSA executive day" as well?
