Its designers said they're still working on the autonomous capabilities--including sensors to detect humans and obstacles--and so they used a game controller that's attached to a laptop in a backpack to maneuver the robot around DefCon.
No need. Just hire some 10-year-old off the street and pay him like $10 to drive it around with a remote control. Man, I would have loved to have that job when I was that age.
I'm a regular digital camera user myself with a full Canon digicam of my own. But sometimes there's a need for a disposable camera. I've been known to leave my camera at home, and sometimes I don't feel comfortable taking my expensive camera to certain events. In these cases I've used a analog disposable camera and scanned the prints. Not great. These disposable digicams sound like just the thing for me!
In the August issue of Wired magazine, there was quite a disgusting infoporn about how you could sell your body for $46 million. It priced egg cells at $7,000/egg and sperm at $75/donation.
If you were really serious about getting a message through to the "president" I would check "supporting comment," then say something nice about him (if you can think of anything) and then offer some "supportive criticism." This method actually works for me on a regular basis. (Although I haven't tried it in the scenario) It saves me lots of stress and the other person is more likely to listen.
However, if you just want to send flaming messages, that's a different story.
This could get very very dangerous. Imagine if some terrorists got ahold of a dish (not very hard these days) and knocked out some vital communication systems. Chaos! Our only hope is that since the instructions have been Slashdotted, the terrorists can't get through.

Who would want his own domain just for a short l'il story like that?
Imagine if you were in an area with poor reception. You speak into the phone and... wait 60 seconds... the other person hears you.
Well, it's not like you'd actually use this phone! This is Slashdot! Bragging rights and geekiness come first!

That PDF file looked pretty lousy to me. I couldn't even tell it was a Microsoft Word file.
Did this happen to anyone else?

For some reason, I read the title as Censor NBC Networks for Threat
Like you wanted us to censor the NBC TV network and then blackmail them or something.

...After all, aren't remakes always worse than the originals?
