Light on details? You're too kind. The Reuters article is light on article. The article is one (meaningless) sentence longer than the blurb, which was short even for a blurb.
I have a Seagate 103MB (or thereabouts) hard drive from my first PC ever, which still spins up and still has all the original data on it, bit-perfect.
That's great, but the problem with these 10-year reliability indications is that it's an indication of a drive (and company) 10 years old.. who knows what corners they've cut since then? 160GB drives are not the same as 103MB either..
Ninjas can kill anyone they want! Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town.
then you have to feel so sorry for the guy. He had such bad stage fright that he destroyed a priceless historical artifact that he spent his part of his life caring for.
I agree, I think his hands (or the camera) were all jittery and you could tell how much he cared for the things he was demoing - it must've been embarassing for him but I felt really sorry for him. And all that twit of a host could do was get on with the show in a most insensitive way.. He could've treated his guest and his effort with a lot more respect.
You don't have to do any tracking of handsets to estimate how busy the roads are - just count the number of handoffs coming in going out (per cell per handset). The quicker they are, the faster the cars are moving.
So should I sell all of my Sony stock, or buy more?
Offtopic, but..
If you think a stock will move but don't know in which direction, buy get and put options at the current price. They'll be in the money after any significant stock movement. Called a Long Straddle.
1) is not even intended to work with a phone -- do we want that for a special domain like this?
Sure, why not?
2) works with special brands of phones with special "web standard extensions". Imagine a Microsoft Smartphone with these under a snazzy name like MSX and companies starts hosting.msx documents instead because it's the Flash of mobiles. A lot of companies catches on because it's flashy and cool, and now you have the regular web but on handhelds.
That would suck, but using 'force' to prevent that isn't so great either.
As the original poster said the pcs of today are stronomically more powerful than ever before but at the same time the amount of weight they have to move (the OS) has also increased.
I've heard this said before, but I don't see why it would be true. The OS might take up more memory and disk space, but why would it actually add to overhead when executing applications from memory?
In the end, you have a single key that points to the backup of your mp3 collection, all in one TinyUrl! Not too shabby.
Sure, but I think it's a pretty dumb idea because of the large overhead (in time and data) of actually retrieving that data.. http request and response, encoding, etc. And the fact that tinyurl will (rightly) kick your ass off the service once he's on to you.

Ramanujan is one of the biggest mathematical geniuses ever, and taught himself these things in a vacuum.
My goodness. It seems you are suggesting the (us) government is not getting carried away, while they are, in fact, already carried all the way.
Ha, that must've made a great impression to his colleagues/bosses at his current job then.
it might just be me, but i've suspected cellphone companies doing their part in spreading FUD about cheap(er) clones.
Well he does say 'the best game we have ever made.'..

Possibly an explanation. However, this time a guy (reportedly) actually saying fuck was being quoted. Why pussy-foot around that?
Me Too.
hmm.

No.
In the long term, we will need a richer model for hypertext nodes on the Web than can be supported by frames.

Yes the top posting in the duped story is saying how that story is a duped story :)

Hm, I wonder what was so trollish about that post. I wish I could metamoderate the moderations I get.
Sure, why not?

Frickin' rotating chairs!
Well, duh, that won't work, it's dead already, that's why it's called a zombie. You have to kill the parent! (No kidding.)
