I found the 650 a whole lot easier than many Compaq boxes. It was also very solid and sturdy. An obnoxious design would be something that breaks often and easily. Perhaps by Mac standards it was difficult, but there is much worse in the PC world
Slashdot has always covered stories about insane/inane hacks. In fact I think its hard to find any "quality story material" on/. Try "quit slashdot.org" at www.cs.washington.edu/homes/klee/misc/slashdot.htm l
There was uclinux and varients for Palm Computers, and there's a gbaunix for Gameboy Advance(Unix V on SIMH emulator) http://www.kernelthread.com/publications/gbaunix
I haven't researched vnc for gameboy, but for screen real estate without a kludge, there's no way to beat a new xbox for $149. Ballmer of all people should know this.
The sound effects made Star Wars an innovative film,(ironic that sound doesn't really travel through space) Many theaters upgraded their sound systems specifically for Star Wars (and now upgrades are fairly regular) For those who didn't grow up with Star Wars though, its like listening to Robert Johnson after growing up with Led Zepplin (or Metallica?). Johnson sound so sparse, and there's such a variety of influences in more modern music that old blues is sometimes like going in a empty basement of an old house. Its great for five minutes.
Firstly, the sound effects made Star Wars an innovative film,(ironic that sound doesn't really travel through space) Many theaters upgraded their sound systems specifically for Star Wars. Secondly, many features of Star Wars quickly became standard in filmaking. The films the newer generation sees are all derivative. Its like listening to Robert Johnson after growing up with Led Zepplin. I respect the blues, but its not so much fun to listen to, sorta like going in a nearly empty basement of an old house.
A couple of years back, NewDeal put out cheap (refurbished?) computers loaded with "geoworks" office. It was a good deal. It seems to me that the problem is that, without a specific purpose or benefit, the general public doesn't learn computers
The obvious problem with hardware MP3 players is that they're all but unusable without plugging into a computer. Its actually quite easy to encode mp3s and other formats to support gapless playback, but you do need to play around with software on the PC (or Mac) I'd be nice to just plug into any stereo receiver and get MP3s (or Ogg or whatever)
Huckabees' is about a company that markets itself as a responsible, environmentally friendly shopping store. Meanwhile its marketing director, his girlfriend, and the environmentalist who's been muscled out of his own organization all have "existential" crisis.
For once I think someone shouldn't have read the article! You should have just read the post. Perhaps your point is that ignoring messages is a mistake made all too often in the real world, and not just a common CS student blunder. They way this post was phrased though, it sounds like you just didn't get the humor.
Read one of Asimov robot books. You're probably going to be working on positronic brains and doing robot psychology, anyways. Humanoid robots are going to do all the coding for us in the near future.;->
Over a wireless connection, I've found MS Remote Desktop Connection (v 1.0.3 is a free download at microsoft.com) is more responsive than Chicken of the VNC. Apple's licensing scheme was too confusing for me, especially since I am just interested in a single connection to a Windows XP pro machine.
Apple sued GEOS and the court case crippled Geoworks early release. It was much later that GEOS was updated and renamed Geowork. I beleive they concentrated on the education market and did make bad decisions, but that was after Apple (not MS) had cut the legs from under their product.
I remember coming across this message, I think it was specifically the 3.11 update of Windows 3.1 which presented this message. In fact I think there wasn't much else in that update. Geoworks references seem a little confused, because I think it was lawsuits from Apple which killed PC/GEOS, which was not preinstalled on very many (any?) computers. (although I beleive the first versions of AOL innstalled a minimal version of GEOS to provide a graphical interface)
He doesn't have to fool all people, or even some of the people, all the time. (to mangle an old saying) If he's developed a mailing list from people who registered, he may have accomplished all he ever intended with this stunt.
Actually stretching a corpse on the lawn chair is not such a bad idea! In the early summer my neighbor's often out, lying pale, bloated and smelly. Its quite tempting to poke him with a stick, just to make sure.
The people I know with Ipods could probably put all the songs from CDs they want to listen to without ANY compression. It's also pretty easy to delete and add songs at any time. I could understand the issue for those who want to keep video files, but mp3s? Just what percentage of those songs do you actaully listen to?
your mom wants the Ipod to vibrate, she told me so this morning. "All the top-of-the-line phones vibrate- but I'd rather have a little mood music... and long battery life of course" I immediately buy tickets for Cupertino...
Most Ipod buyers aren't slashdot geeks, not even tech enthusiasts. They want a Name-brand product that does one thing, and not even have to change the default settings. (Itunes is set for encoding songs in Apple's AAC, not MP3, and technically the difference between the two formats is trivial) Its all about the marketplace, not the technology. I've even heard that a $400 Ipod costs about $12 to manufacture... can anyone confirm this?
Please save the geeky jokes for after a decent summary of the event. I don't give a rat's ass about what "Robot DNA" and "FEVER" stands for, and it doesn't interest me in what the competition is actually about
There's more of a demand for online gaming in Asia, and particularly RPG games. Sports titles are more popular in the US, although I imagine multiplayer FIFA "soccer" would be the last sports title for US. This is pure marketing.
I volunteer at a small, privately run museum, which preserves and displays town history. We have quite a few videotapes which we manually rewind. It would be much better if we could let various dvds continually play during the day. On the other hand, bringing tapes in to be professionally converted would not be cost-effective, especially in cases when money and effort has already been spent converting the tapes from other formats
unfortunately, important voting is generally done by senators and representatives and of course the electotral college. Once I was frustrated about the lack of interest in voting, but I have come to the conclusion that non-voters in the US are actually being realistic and reasonable. If more people voted, there would just be that many more votes from dead people, repeat voters, and pets. The system is broken, and broken badly.
There'll probably be very small amounts of ginseng. People do and will make cocktails of different products, but, at least in the US, fear of liability will prevent any single product from posing significant risks. I haven't found Ginseng stimulating, I think a lot of energy drinks contain Niacin(or derivatives) which increases blood flow to the skin, but doesn't provide actual energy.

There may be other projects out there, but Blunt works on newtons http://www.40hz.org/blunt
I've heard rumor that NewtonScript was a dialect of Scheme- just how lispish is it?
