I have to ask myself why. We can already move liquids quite simplely and from the sounds of it, this will use huge amounts of energy just to get the light to that state.
Why anyone who would be using Linux (Not you're average media following monkey), without knowing this? I've never run Linux (will change next box though) and even I know this.
Next people will be complaining that MS Word doesn't run on Linux. Software is designed to work for a system, it works on that system. It's like trying to put a free into a desert and expecting it to grow..
May just be me here but I can't think of a use which would need that much distance... hell I can't think of a use for bluetooth in any distance... but then I hate mobile phones so I maybe biast
Anyone else feel this article is aimed more at Penny arcade fans then Slashdotters?
The way it was written made me feel the guy was trying to hard to "be hip with the kids", he ended up just bugging me to the point where I decided not to read beyond page one (why do I need 10 pages for an article!?).
for months I had a failing HD and refused to replace it with the usual "I'll wait till it dies" stuff (was getting a new PC.. or so I planned then..).
So months go by, everything runs fine... then folders start crashing the PC, so I go "meh under warranty I'll get it replaced, why not?" so they say "yea we'll be out in a week" and I'm like "..thats fine, see you then."
So I ran it for a week where I couldn't access anything but Mozilla, AIM and winamp... so it was running pretty well considering the HD was so crippled by the damage it was impossible to ghost a clone over when tech support tried (I sat there laughing, I didn't want to go "Oh BTW I know that already" ).
ANYTHING you can make for TV will never be as violent as the wars we've had recently. If I can turn on the news and see people with no arms and legs then why can't I do the same with a movie where I know they got up after and went "hehe, that was fun"?
Is it Apple answer the most "how do I check my e-mail" questions, or is it they help you set up a network type of questions?
Any monkey can answer 100 questions on [insert basic function here], but do they just tell customers to "format C to fix it" so they can get through the most?
I'm trying to get google text adverts to change to "penis enlargment" by attaching the words to every e-mail I send to people I know... does that count?:D
google can scan my e-mails any day they wish as long as I can mess with their system to get a giggle.
Thisreally strange planet full of little pink things who have to wear multicolour fabric to becomec "fashionable" and who had evolved so their breeding has become for fun between the youngest of the species.
This odd race also enjoys killing each other, taking strange substances, which disable the basic abilities of the brain and even find this an entertaining pass time.
can anyone not see Google doing extremely well in the near future? They maybe expensive but for the next say 5 years they will rise in value and be a pretty safe bet... but after that I dunno, Google is doing evetyhing now but will it still in the future or will it pull a microsoft and go "We're at the top, hello minions do as we say"
I have no job and am not looking for one currently (need to go back to college first). I have 24 hours a day free so I don't think I've changed much...
On the other hand 3D changed everything gaming wise..
How often have you gone "I'll buy it when it's cheaper, it'll only be a month or two.."?
I can name a list of games I don't want to pay £40 for but I'm happy to wait 2-3 months for it at £20. The gaming market is becoming like the drug market.
"Quick fix" "Move on" "Quick fix" "Move on"
Games are getting shorter and easier, I remember the days where you could finish a game in a couple of hours (Hello Sonic games) but they were fun so you went back and played them. I used to spend hours playing RPGs each day, hunting out that uber sword and last spell from some where.
It'd take me months of 10 hour+ days to find them items, I'd buy the magazines each month to follow progress of a game in development I wanted. I'd sit and drool at screenshots with funny little Japanese symbols I never understood (still don't know but I have babelfish..).
Then suddenly it stopped... the market became main stream, Sony flooded the market with poor quality 3D platformers and RPGs, the internet had news the day it was released in other countries. I haven't found a need to buy a magazine and theres just something missing from the internet previews.
Suddenly games don't seem worth the £40 I payed for stuff like Secret of mana, sonic and the like. Now I don't see a huge point of buying more then one every couple of months. So by the time that game I really want becomes an option for the "couple of months game" I buy now, it's reduced to half price. Everyone has forgotten it and I can sit down and enjoy it for what it is and not the hype everything gave it.
So in short for those not willing to read my rant.
Games today are shorter and less fun IMO. The world's attenction span has dropped so they don't stick around with the games they buy, hence prices drop majorly and quickly. May as well wait and get 10 games rather then 5.
Why do people want spam filters? This is slashdot, if you can download a firewall and virus scanner then you can sure as hell protect yourself against a little spam by not giving youe e-mail address out to people you don't trust.
In the last few years I've had 3 major e-mail accounts (G-mail, hotmail and yahoo!). Neither of them have had any spam I can't trace back to pissing off a little girl who signed me up to loads on my hotmail account (all of which I unsubscribed from and never got spam from again).
Remember spam doesn't just find your e-mail address, it must be given it some how.
99% of the time you can pick out photoshopped images really easy. If it seems to good to be true it probably is, other wise theres always tiny misalignments here and there
Better hope the current landers exploring mars have a duracell bunny close. With this budget if they don't keep going and going NASA won't have much to do for the next few years..
Why not put fricking lasers on the fricking pigeons and have a fricking death squad? If they can run a search engine like google they can massacre innocent people too dumb to ignore an advert
Most gamers don't care for religion because with the modern world we get it forced upon us repeatedly by a failing group of people living in olden times. Like we don't care for being PC most the time, it's something we don't believe in and if we don't believe in it then we have no respect for it.
I live my life as I see fit, I don't need a book several thousand years old for advice. Recently I was in church (funeral) and all that came to mind was "Man God is selfish...". Religion fitted a world hidden in mystery, not a world full of science and people trying to get money from it.
If people wish to live in the past then that is fine but they shouldn't try and force it on others.
I could of swore Half life 2 is one of the most awaited games of all time, I don't hear that about FF games. Nice to know the press once again ignores the facts

So tell me MS, how much are you charging for this search ability? :) Can't release it free, that would way too cheap.
Did he block up all the windows in his house to make sure it didn't turn bright blue and offend someone?

If it isn't then it's fine... if it is then we'll tie him up and make him read slashdot posts repeating forever...

Now then.. last time I checked alot of the new bugs found in Windows were revealed by geeks... the type of geeks who make open source in many cases.
I think I'd rather put my trust in someone doing it for the pure love (hate) of (bad) software, then someone doing it for money and no love at all.

I'm going to ask a lawyer to see how a gif/png can violate my rights on the internet in a second. Thanks for the information slashdot editor :)

Who would have guessed "start" didn't mean the same in India?
You are looking at Slashdot now... hand over the money monkey boy or you get snipped!
