...it gonna be a tough decision between getting the new iPod Touch, or just swinging for an (unlockable?) iPhone!
Either way, I'm dancing around the office like a schoolgirl!!!
...this argument that files and data will one day just magically become inaccessible in the future.
I have tape and diskette media for my Commodore Pet machines that goes back to 1978.
That's 29 years ago, and guess what? The great majority of this media is STILL READABLE.
Furthermore, the tools necessary to transfer any of my old media to modern PCs have been around for well over a decade.
Once you have the data on a modern PC the rest can be handled with emulation or virtualization.
For someone to complain...
"If you stored something on a floppy disc just three or four years ago, you'd have a hard time finding a modern computer capable of opening it"
...when I can easily run programs I wrote in the SEVENTIES is pure nonsense.
I've been using Excel for nearly 15 years, and for the entirety of that time, I've been limited to 256 columns. Now the limit is 16,384 columns. This may not seem like much to the average person, but to a little abused VBA monkey who's had to use every trick in the book to handle the manipulation of big WIDE data, this is a godsend.
Speaking as an atheist, I think that these assholes should be raped to death, disembowled, and hung by their own entrails. Not necessarily in that order.
I am not a doctor, but for some reason the thought of millions of micron sized glass shperes does not seem very healthy to me. What would the effect of these glass bubbles be upon their entrance into a cut or other opening in the human body?
I once dropped a glass on my bare foot, and it shattered into thousands of incrediblly tiny shards. At the hospital, it took them hours to remove *most* of the pieces. Almost 20 years later, I still have pieces of fine glass sand in my foot. Now take this type of tramua, and miniturize it down even smaller. A powder so fine it acts like a liquid...Liquid glass. My foot throbs just at the thought of it!
Again, I have no idea if my experience is even relevant to this new technology. I guess I just wonder if anyone else has thoughts on this matter.
Hmmm...the link didn't work (seems it is based on a session), but regardless, you can do a search HERE, and see that there are dozens of trademarks that have been granted using the name "superhero" or "super hero".
Why would the trademake office grant these trademarks, if they infringed on the DC/Marvel trademark?
Are you seriously trying to say that Beatles_Beatles was the only guy so submitted all of those stories? I would be VERY surprised if this were the case.
If you get one story from 50 submitters, what's the point of going to the same submitter time and time again?
Give the rest of us a chance.
No pics left but archive.org does have a few pages achived from a guy who subsubmerged his Celeron 333 in oil back in 1999. I'm sure even earlier attempts exist...
"The National Archives, entrusted to preserve America's official history, will have to handle roughly 100 million emails from the Bush White House,.."
Thanks to the Patriot Act, this number will be reduced to roughly four, including one such email with a complelling advertisement for V14GR4!!!!!!11
Slashdot Mirror
Deleting hundreds of thousands of White House emails, and not having a backup?
Something that can play Crysis!

Hey! It works!
at Tigerdirect?
I had fun modding the 3Com Audrey and the Virgin Webplayer. This looks like it will be fun too!
...run Linux? Oh, wait. Nevermind.

Oh hell! I must have processed thousands of those block view records via Amazon's Mechanical Turk program.
:(
All those countless hours and all that work DOWN THE DRAIN!!!
Well, almost. I did get a good $4.23* out of it.
* = All kidding aside, I did manage to get about $60 into my account after a fair amount of work, but still...that sucks.
Exactly what I thought!!! They also forgot Boohbah, which HAS to be the worst website ever to disgrace the web.
Does everyone else remember the hype that swirled before the release of the Segway?
Ginger!
IT!
A device so revolutionary and world-changing, that its codename was "IT"!!!
After seeing it, Jeff Bezos was known to say "You have a product so revolutionary, you'll have no problem selling it."
Bidders paid out over $100,000 EACH for the first three examples of a production Segway.
Well, we all know how it went from there.
I want to thank Dean Kamen for permanently calibrating my expectations when it comes to new world-changing products.
I'm much less excitable about such claims now.

1) Collect $100,000,000.00
2) ???
3) Profit!

Oh wait...This is slashdot.
Nevermind!

The history of the world will be archived in the form of crappy, low resolution flash movies!!!
Well, not exactly.
...then I don't think Apple has anything to worry about.
Honestly, I hope that Google does good, and I think some competition in the marketplace would be a good thing, but they have not impressed me so far.
What about future versions after that? Hong long until you make billions of PCs obsolete overnight?

Probably a more accurate version of how the British government's "plans" would be followed after a nuclear exchange.
It's an awesome move, too!
