Actually it is a bit complicated due to copyright issues. They would need the copyrights before caching a page (I know Google does it but it might be that they dont care about legal issues , if some one sues, direct them to the pigeons:)
If your BIOS will support it, why not remove the floppy from the equation and boot directly from the memory card/key/stick/whatever? A 1 GB key would allow for a Knoppix install and a good bit of data, and then you're word processing with Open Office.
Its a IBM Thinkpad 390 Laptop, PII 266Mhz, 128 MB RAM, with USB 1.0 port and a 3.5 floppy drive. And u think the bios will support booting of a usb memory stick ????
Really !! its true . I am a lawyer and you can sue slashdot if u are not lucky after replying to the post. Also the $1000 is taxabale so you need to pay $104.30 in federal taxes. Just be careful that you are not indicted for tax evasion. Anyway I am buying a new Ferrari with all the money I got for replying to this post.
The parent is not interesting, I think he is being funny. At least I was under the impression that OLED's dont decay anymore than plastic carry bags(which are organic too) from your supermarket do.
The organic in OLEDs is not the same as organic in organic food. It refers to the CH covalent bonds. Correct me if I am talking rubbish (Its been a long time since high school organic chemistry)
Wow, Thats interesting, wonder what causes them to use 2 different names.. sounds fishy to me (Of course in true/. tradition I did not bother to look up the Sion website.
Moltech is already working on this. And they plan to release it in 2003.. which means that it should be in the market.. However the parent article claims the batteries will be released in 3-5 years
The acm portal does have a wealth of information but u need to pay for the subscription to access most papers(unless as in my case u r a student and ur univ library has a subscription) . However, one good idea is to find the relevant papers and then google for them( many authors often maintain a copy of their papers on their webpages.. albiet somewhat illegally)
Use your old PC's. Add sound cards to it and one PC should be able to support 3-4 users. And just interface a couple of push buttons to the parallel port (Be careful and use optoisolators to protect the PC). If you have 3-4 old PC's it shouldnt cost more than 100 bucks ( more around 50 largely for the soundcards).
The site is already slashdotted but here is the text (not too useful without the photos though)
Built for a game of Cthulhu Lives! that has yet to be played, this piece was inspired by the retro-futuristic machines in the movie Brazil by Terry Gilliam. It was one of the most difficult and time-consuming pieces I've ever attempted.
Despite the ridiculous amount of abuse I subjected it to, and despite the fact that all its components are now exposed to the air, the 1988 Macintosh SE which forms the heart of this piece still works just fine.

And I thought it always pays to buy something( electronic) later rather than now.
U sure its not a large scale conscpiracy to increase the PC sales;-) Maybe its bcos the memory manufactures use linux machines and have bought SCO licenses
I think the point here is that now u can make and use any frontend u like for iTunes. The actual script doesnt seem to be too useful (though it shows that it can be done).
The site claims that but it has the potential to become a powerful weapon to fight the major record label monopoly .... well lets see what happens.
The website says For this reason, the use of a language designed specifically for IF, such as TADS, Hugo, Inform, or ADRIFT, is recommended. Who in the world uses that ??
The language websites for Hugo, Inform etc explain that they have been designed specifically for text based adventure games.... Talk about specialization !!!!
Any way I have registered and am going to do plain old C ( okay, okay C++)

The VITA NUOVA LIBERAL SOURCE LICENCE seems to be pretty good (free as in speech).
Any ideas why they didint use GPL/BSD or any other standard license. Or is there some subtle(or obvious) licensing issue

Who would want their hardware? /typing on a microsoft natural keyboard.
Actually , the MS natural keyboard was pretty good and their joystick was really awesome.

Somebody who doesnt apologize for using a pun. Why the hell do people do that ?
