Perhaps the White Knight is cheaper to operate than a B-52? It is, after all, designed to carry something slung beneath it (externally) and then release its payload in the air...
I like the old PSX controllers, except for one point: the grips are too small for my hands; after a couple hours of intense gameplay, my hands ache from trying to squeeze something so small. The XBox controllers, on the other hand, fit my hands quite nicely (although I don't really like where the buttons are), and everyone seemed to pick on the controllers back when the XBox was released.
LCD panels are pretty boring underneath the matrix...after you get past the liquid crystal matrix, it's a couple polarized sheets, a diffuser plate...and then...the outer shell...
I'd be more interested in a CRT...since I've never seen the inside of a CRT's tube, I can only surmise that it has gears slowly turning...and a guy who sits in front of it, banging his boxing gloves on a keyboard...with robot boots...and blue hair. Gotta have the blue hair.
I'd be way more impressed with a live-cam sort of "transparent" background...and maybe have a computer with three cameras, two of them mounted pointed at the user to figure out where his/her head is, and one mounted pointed out the back of the monitor, on a motarized swivel mount to adjust...so that the image from the camera behind the monitor would always be "correct".
Okay, it's late and I'm rambling. But that's what I'd like to see.

exactly; I moved back to Firebird 0.7 for this reason; it seems to have been resolved in 9.0RC.
Several things seemed broken in 0.8 (to its credit, several things were broken in 0.7, like it dying and not updating its display when loading lots of...interesting...images in tabs). But it was either the display problems (which didn't actually crash the browser or anything), which I could live with, or the usability problems, which I could NOT live with. I was pounding my keyboard, frustrated at Firefox for not working right (losing focus when opening links in the background, causing arrow keys and the mousewheel not to scroll) when I decided to move back.

it's probably something closer to:
...
dart hits a name, obliterates whatever letter(s) it hits
RIAA then decides to sue everyone who could have any name like that, something like:
$ sue "Patty Cl*ne"
now suing Patty Clane
now suing Patty Clbne
now suing Patty Clcne
now suing Patty Claane
now suing Patty Claaane
Four more incremental upgrades, up to 3.14, and promising to be "ongoing", and you could call it pi.
Impressive! [Vader, SW:ep5:TESB]Most impressive.[/Vader]

might look crappy...but it might work out fine...

which, of course, one of the other articles in the original post said....had I bothered to RTFAs =)

I thought that "sense of being watched" had something to do with subtle changes in atmospheric pressure...
It's a house-shaped tinfoil hat.
I've had my hotmail account since way before it became MSN Hotmail, and I've had my 250mb since mid August. Which means...
MORE SPAM!! YEAH!!!

9.0RC seems to fix both problems, thankfully.
