The coolest thing about technologies like this is for artists or people that need to draw diagrams. Do you have any idea how much nicer it would be to just draw with a pen than using the mouse or heaven forbid using the keyboard to make diagrams, tables, sketches! Wacom tablets work reasonably well at this, but it's still somewhat awkward. Tech like this could revolutionize art based industries.
... is there some way I can dial-up my microwave with my cordless phone? I guess they must use different parts of the 2.4Ghz spectrum, but that would be kind of funny. Gives new meaning to "dialing out for dinner".
ha! I'm actually burning oggs right now. Honestly, I'm liking them much better than mp3s. I get a higher bitrate at about the same file size. It's old news to a lot of people, but I'm a convert now.
don't forget NCSSM and IMSA. There really are a lot of high schools that got their.edu's early. I think I remember hearing that sometime after '95 or something that.edu would only be given to colleges and universites, and the high schools that already had.edu registrants would be grandfathered and could keep them.
At least get your facts stright, it wasen't WW2 that got you out of the depression, rather, it was several Government policies including a huge isolationist movement
nope, it was ww2. Government policies weren't making much headway beyond morale. look at the unemployment rate, it was increasing up to ww2
Actually, that's just an option. It looks like they could just license their protocol to a few competitors.
From Article:
After AOL strikes its first deal to connect its instant-messaging system with a rival, the online giant would be required to offer other instant-messaging firms terms that are no worse than those offered in its first contract, sources said.
The FCC recommendation gives AOL and Time Warner another option on instant-messaging: to adopt an industry standard to make their system interoperable with others, sources said.
I don't know, but adolescents aren't any better with new technology than adults. It's more a difference in mindset than in age when it comes to using technology and information. To think that "gamers" are somehow culturally more evolved or something is simply naive. Hours of entertainment does not a better information consumer make.
I don't care who wins. This is ridiculous, and people wonder why Americans are so sick of politics. Once I graduate, I'm moving to Australia. At least most Marsupials seem more competent than some of the people I'm seeing on television.
Let's see... a concerned adult, who has learned proper social interactions, guiding and teaching a younger member of society, who may not understand the implications of his or her actions, to come to a peaceful and harmonious relationship with the other members.
Wow! This is quite an innovation. We should get some of our top people on this.
Seriously though, the lack of parental involvement has to be the largest problem in the US.
And I think the decrease in violence statistics has a lot to do with the economic climate. People tend to be more satisfied now. (of course, I would like someone to pull out some numbers for urban areas, which may have been left behind in our prosperity).
And although violence may not be the root cause of violence. It is definitely desensitizing us, or else we wouldn't be able to take this article in somewhat lightly.
Well, are there any alternatives for the entertainment industry? How can you convince a party to repeal a solution without supplying an alternative that qualms their concerns and your own. People with more power never compromise through antagonistic efforts.
Personally, I think the music industry should have simply flooded the mp3s in circulation with poor quality partial cuts for those artists with material they wanted to protect through copyrights. Songs would be able to be previewed and invested in if enjoyed, and who wants to listen to 8kbit 11khz mp3 for any extended period of time?
I don't know if both parties concerns can be collaborated, but without any viable alternatives, there won't be much success in eliminating any negative inroads that the DMCA has into free speech.

I think I'm actually more ammused that someone tried to insult me. Slashdot is such a trifling community.

So close now.
Somehow this makes the 'parent' link a lot more funny.
Here is the course from the Siggraph 2001 Conference page. And here's the researcher's home page. Looks cool, way above my head though.

Mad props to Apple Inc. for that one.
I've been waiting for Apple to sue George for the new iMac color-esque grills. I say put steve and george in a ring and let them fight it out.

sounds like George Carlin, but I could be wrong.
hmmm .... this sounds interesting.

Anti: MySql sucks! How dare they call it a database ... it doesn't do X. If I post flamebait to slashdot, I want to have a guarantee it gets there.
Pro: You mean databases are needed for more than shopping carts and messageboards?
