That seems a bit pricey. That kind of money will get you a decent laptop...
Is there a market for a device that's more capable than a $100-200 PDA and less capable than a $1000 laptop? Of course I want one, but does anyone need one of these?
Thanks for shedding some light on it. Other than a few words here and there, I couldn't understand anything the people in the video said. They might as well have been speaking in another language.
I have a vision of driving down the highway at 65MPH when all of sudden a car-shaped shell of paint tears lose from a car a few hundred yards ahead of me and wafts across the highway, scaring the bejeezus out of the following cars, who swerve to avoid it, causing a huge pile-up... But maybe that's just me.
The SOSUS and other arrays are used to track subs. Those subs are attempting to hide in the trackless depths of the oceans, not approach major ports. It's not generally a good tactic to try to hide in shallow, regularly patrolled waters where there are lots of other vessels...
So what this new array does is fill in some of the gaps.
Nothing like a dose of cynicism on Christmas Eve to
help us all get into the holiday spirit...
Many of these items sound more like desireable long-term goals rather than things that we should just throw up our hands and say will never happen. Wouldn't it be nice if spam volume decreased? Why shouldn't more tech IPOs be reasonably successful? etc.
What plausible headlines would you like to see, and what goals do we need to reach in order to see them happen?
Maybe I'm planning to live a bit longer than Rick Rashid, but for me that's 40-50MB per day. Suddenly it sounds more like the size my home directory grows per day day than a detailed history of my life.

The killer app for Outlook -- or, more accurately, the reason why many people install it in the first place -- is because it's the only easy way to sync with PDA's such as an iPaq and/or sync with other folks in an organization. Get PDA integration right and it'll be a hit.
I tried going to SkyOS to find out WTF it is, down already?
Search engines are your friends...
Anyone else care to tell me why this OS is of any relevance?
Because someone has the gumption to put together their own OS. This is how linux got started. Maybe it's irrelevant, or maybe it's not, but you've got to respect the attempt.
TV revenue depends to some extent on ads during movies. I doubt People Magazine and half a dozen other rags and television shows would exist if people didn't need to know what Ben/Jennifer/Leonardo is doing on a daily basis. It's
pretty hard to see where it all starts and ends.
That's a nice accomplishment, but it's not the same thing. TiVo has complete control over the software they run on their boxes, and I'm sure they test it quite carefully before shipping. This isn't unique to TiVo; you could say the same thing about the software that runs in your cell phone, DVD player, etc.
These people are in a different domain; they don't know what apps their system will run, or what mistakes the sysadmin will make, or what worms someone will write next month -- they're preparing a reactive defense against the unknown.
The original context was that five hours was longer than necessary. Now you're telling me that in order to do this, I need to monitor my config constantly, and then spend "years of trial and error" to "work it down to an artform" and then it will pay off by saving me a few hours?
2. Uncheck all startup entries that look suspicious.
And which ones are those? Seriously.
Given that the programs can register themselves by whatever name they like, this is non-trivial. Given that the names of many of the valid entries look pretty odd already, by just unchecking things you can quickly find yourself with an unusable system.
Maybe there's some anglo-bashing (the Kargs are aggressive and warlike, and speak a different language than everyone else, and also happen to be white) but that's it.
Show me some place that skin color is an issue... (sure, at one point Ged has to disguise himself, and changes his skin hue, but he also changes his hair, clothes, etc.)
Besides the fact that the linked story flatly contradicts the premise of the posting... The implication that a good printer is as good as a "professional" is quite misleading. Color prints are typically not done by humans, they're done by a machine. If you want prints done by a human, they will cost more, but of the person is competent then you'll get much better prints -- where "better" doesn't mean "brighter colours" but "looks better". A printer or a printing machine reproduce their input, while a professional can look at a negative and decide whether to alter the contrast, color balance, burn or dodge, etc.
Given that this phenomenom is widely known (and Roland isn't the only offender), why do the slashdot editors keep accepting stories from this guy? Kickbacks?

It's not how much is being censored, it's that they're actively censoring.
So their lawyers can turn their attention to something else, and/or remove the risk of another round of highly publicized FUD?
SCO doesn't have anything for IBM to win. IBM is probably best of if they can just make the case go away.
This is about 2004 YD5, which was about 5 meters wide. 2002 EM7 was more than two years ago...

Thanks, but no thanks.
And their counter-offer will be: you won't work there any more, and they won't tell you how to run the network at your new place of employment.
Professors with tenure are worse than any PHB you can imagine.

Just as you describe it: by unsubscribing them permanently. There's no place for flame wars on some lists.
