Under the current setup: no. Dsl and voice signals operate on different frequencies, voice on a small lower band, the data up in the 10mhz range. (Don't quote me on the frequencies, rough estimate, I work in phone repair, not DSL.) The equipment on the central office end isn't capable of working with a full spectrum currently. It could be done, for a price, but I know for a fact that my company wouldn't spend money so our customers could buy less of our products.
A majority of players are on during the day, but for the 2nd and 3rd shift crew, myself included, this is huge. Tuesday maintainance was always a hassle, nixing play time one out of seven nights a week. Assuming the live updates aren't too buggy (which they will be, for a while at least) this will remedy the biggest problem I have with WoW. Thank you Blizzard.

So what if the submitter created an account to post this story? I read slashdot for years before registering. And of course his link leads to his site, where else would it? Just because it's from his site it's spam? Come on. It's news, fair and plain.

The display isn't lit at all. It requires external lighting, just like real paper.
Biodome, duh.

Any good revolutionist knows the three real branches of the government: the corporation, the military, and hollywood.

Biologist: I don't want your watch! You're covered in precious ambergris! Kif: Precious Hamburgers?
I've seen WAY too many sci-fi movies to consider this a good scientific endeavor. If you need me, I'll be in my concrete bunker. :)
They pulled a donation because New Orleans is trying to rebuild it's shattered infrastructure? Asinine.
