I've been watching the advances on displays, like nanotube based (these will be the direct replacements for CRT based, they use the same technology except for the electron emission), or OLED a.k.a. e-paper (will replace LCD's).
But I give them 10 years to appear in the market. OK, OK 5 years maybe. But you know, it'll take another 3 or 4 additional years before the people can afford them.
The Safari devs took the GPL'ed KHTML code, improved it, and let the open sourcers bite the dust. If that's not subcontracting, at least it looks very much alike.
7) Students would not have to carry books, or anything else, between home and school. All school work would be done at school.
While I disagree with a 10-hour schedule (poor kids, they need to forget about school for a while!), you make a good point here. Society is changing, and so should schools. Maybe the era of "long homeworks with parents who help us with them" is over... (i mean, if your dad works at MacDonald's, do you think he'd help you with the calculus homework?)
Maybe it's time to rethink the whole structure and educational model. Like going back to the ancient greek philosophers, who actually made their students THINK, and not memorize. And what's with memorizing math formulas for the exams? Please! At work we don't memorize them, we look them up in the REFERENCES.
As an example, in the US people eat TOO MUCH, but they don't know. They just think it's NORMAL (pfft... XL-sized pants anyone?).
And I think this is the point of the article. The point is to make students learn, not get bored to death. Also, take into account the times when the teachers give extra homework to kids who misbehave. Homework should be thought as an exercise, not torture.
So, how much homework is too much? We have enough with stress at work, why stress kids too?
The most useful new features from Rodi (like IP anonimity) will eventually be implemented in Bit Torrent.
I'm not sure if Bram Cohen would agree - he made BT to share software, not to pirate music or videos. Adding anonimity to BT is just what the lawyers need to say BT was MADE for copyright infringement.
"create a treatment based on neutrofiles that strengthened the patient's immune system. The patient responded well to the treatment immediately and has since made a total recovery and has returned to work."

What else can you add to a cell phone?
For starters, how about a little COMMON SENSE?

That's just plain stupid. Just because e-mail has become a social necessity (like checking your answering machine) doesn't mean you're ADDICTED.
E-mail is a form of communication, I use it to talk with my e-friends. We live in a global society now.
(On the other hand, if you check your e-mail because you're feeling lonely, then you're not addicted to e-mail. You just need real-life friends)
From this point forward, no Terminator references will be permitted. ;-)
No problemo. B-)
Wanting anonymity doesn't necessarily mean your doing something illegal.
Well, for 99.99% of the pira^H^H^H^Husers, it is.

Maybe with this new treatment, "Move Along, Nothing to see here" will actually have some relevance.
Maybe if it's Ben Kenobi who says so.
"These aren't the cells you're looking for. Move along." (waves hand)
From the article:
"create a treatment based on neutrofiles that strengthened the patient's immune system. The patient responded well to the treatment immediately and has since made a total recovery and has returned to work."
So it wasn't just math. Biology also helped.
Where's "recoding slashdot's html and css"?
And what makes you think there IS a gay gene in the first place?
IIRC, we had here on /. an article about Bram Cohen (bittorrent author) having Asperger's syndrome.
Guess the Asperger has a light and a dark side, too...
A friend of mine used to copy CD's this way because his CD didn't have "digital read" enabled.

Nothing new under the sun
Does it works only for PS2 (or 3 or P?) games or what?
Because if it can be read, IT CAN BE WRITTEN!
in AI voice processing so we start having those cool robotic butlers and dishwashers (Who actually pick up your plates and sweep the floor).
I find it amazing that hardware is advancing WAY beyond software.
Your website sucks.
Should that compensate for the heatsink BLOWING ?
*ducks*
Slowly, the computer is becoming an all in one console. Next gen consoles may soon become useles.
The same was said of the PC 10 years ago.
I don't know if it's the same, but it looks massive enough to be classified as a "behemot". (Did a google search)

Makes things much easier to maintain.
only harms the project if the number of programmers is limited.
Which is not always the case with Open Source.
and repeat the poll BEFORE the Roswell incident... AND the crop circles... AND the "abducted by aliens" books?
Thank you.
Yikes! They can't afford to download FOSS applications? What could possibly be cheaper distribution than that?
It's called a CD. Hello... we're talking Africa here, not all have internet access...
