I don't know. I sure wouldn't. I especially don't like the concept of it being all *Online*. If I'm doing any travelling or am somewhere where i don't have internet access, but I need to work on/view a powerpoint presentation, I'm screwed. I think I'll stick with MS Office(I didn't buy it) or Open Office for now.
The problem is that anyone can have access to it. Spam, phishing, spyware, etc. has all stemmed from this. I remember when I had to dial into a seperate e-mail client to get e-mail, and I also didn't have all the problems then. I'm not saying that restricting access to the internet, or anything for that matter, can fix it, but I do agree that some overhauls would not be a bad idea.
What? No girls in class? Proposterous. I can speak as a current engineering student, and I have several girls in several of my engineering courses.
Yes, it is a lot of work for an engineering degree, but should prove to pay off in the end. I have many friends that changed their major after 1 or 2 years, and it's simply because this major was not for them. I have often debated myself whether or not to switch my major, but have decided to stay put for now.
It would be nice if this would be implemented here in the states, but the corporate entities that provide teh high speed internet access are quite greedy and, if/when they manage to provide that kind of bandwith, it would cost tremendously more than $43 a month.
...is what happens if an aircraft manages to fly into this 62,000 mile long carbon nanotube ribbon. Does the ribbon break or does the plane? Either way someone is going to have a bad day.
It would not exactly be the "cure" for cancer, but this in conjunction with current treatments (i.e., radiation therapy), we could pretty much eliminate the threat of cancer altogether. Assuming individuals test themselves regularly (every 6 months perhaps).
When we play games - we need (at a minimum) 76Hz video at 1600x1200 full colour resolution...
By we, do you mean everyone but me?? I my monitor is only capable of 1280x1024 at 60 Hz. I don't know why you need more, but any game I play works perfect for my video setup.
Excellent advise! Never, NEVER, sign a contract unless you fully understand your role and the other parties roll, and, especially for a company, how they can rape you if you, or in this case either party, breaks the contract. But, if they do try to take advantage of it, and they know it, often times if legal action is mentioned, they will not bother with $150. That is small change if they only have to give it up once in a while.
In the demo video on the Microsoft Expressions webpage, they mention that the Expression Web Designer "Is a professional design tool to create sophistocated, standards based, websites." Does anybody else see the irony of this? Microsoft doesn't even follow web standards for Internet Explorer!
Many people here seem to be trying to avoid admitting that a lot of that markup actually becomes profit for Intel.
This is because many people seem to think that Intel is making $600 of pure profit. This is, quite obviously, not true. Though, yes, a good amount of this is profit, this number is nowhere near $600, though I would hate to speculate exactly what it is.
Erm, I don't get the reason behind the "Self-Repairing" part
Exactly. It's not self repairing, it's just self redirecting. If it was self repairing, it would actually repair the affected region instead of bypassing it using the neighbor cells.
But if instead of that we could have smart ceramic/metalic/whatever skin that can tell us what exactly is wrong with it (burn, corrosion, impact, radiation levels?)
That should also be integrated, or at least something along those lines, they would be stupid not to. They already have the processesors, they could attach a few sensors to it and, WALLA, you know exactly what is wrong, where the damage occured, and how it is bypassed
Back in the day (maybe now too) some BIOS's watched the boot sector of the computer for viruses that tried to install themselves there.
To this day, most motherboards still have this option, at least Award bioses do. It's not activated by default and is somewhat hidden in a sea of options.
It would be nice, however, if they would actually perform virus scans at given times, on given days, in the background. I don't think it would be too difficult or too much to ask for this to happen.
Anyone could build a PC with 1gig of storage and a DVD burner.
No, most people wouldn't know where to find such small drives. You have to raid some pretty old hardware in order to find those 1 gig drives. That won't even hold my pROn collection!
Slashdot Mirror
Fijifilm makes USB flash drives?
Was a link even necessary? At least we could pretend that the Sharp logo is actually a picture of this display showing the Sharp logo.

Sometimes I wish castration was legal. Now is one of those times.

And you are still wondering why you have no girlfriend.
Yeah, those stats are about the same for my comp E degree program. I was just commenting that their are womein, not how attractive they are.

Correction, it WILL be available as an add-on to Windows XP. It is currently still in MSDN beta testing phase.

If they are, they're failing miserably.

Could be fun when used at parties...on women!
I must be a geek because all the girls I hang out with don't try to hide it.
It's the higher refresh rates that give me headaches on my flat panel. I might react differently with a CRT, but I haven't used one of those in ages!
Well, good. Now I can get some sleep tonight. You would think that would have been caught by an editor...Oh wait, it's Zonk. Nevermind.

Whoa, don't get ahead of yourself. It's not out yet!
