When I saw this, the first thing I thought was how nice a large version of this could be. It seems like it would be suitable for something like the DARPA Grand Challenge.

"I was quite disappointed when I discovered that a new roadmap has been announced and that there will NOT be any 10.2 release, without anybody announcing it to the community"
I could be mistaken, but wouldn't that announcement qualify as an announcement to the community?
Well, they're not completely out of options. They could reclasiify their French Software as Freedom Software. That might go over about as well as Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast...
Solution: smaller games. No need to have so many pixels for such a simple game as solitaire. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't like making the cards very small....That's another victory for Linux, what with scalable vector graphics such as those found in Gnome
Exactly my plan. Except I found a relatively cheap route (as the sets cost $150). As a university student, I decided to leveragae my library fees and request that they purchase a Pimsleur language program (Japanese I, in my case). Since last September, I've been rechecking it perpetually and listening to it as when I feel like it--I sometimes choose to listen to the radio, sometimes Japanese.
BTW I have an hour drive each way, perfect for two Pimsleur lessons or listening to one lesson twice.
I must have RTFA in the past too many times, as this seems a rather short interview. Even the ones Slashdot sends out have 10 questions, where this one come in at an overwhelming 6 questions.
"So far so good. Now, reading over the last few emails you've replied to, it appears you have some trouble 'getting it up'. As a final verification, please confirm the date of your most recent order of Viagra"
As far as I can tell, two factor identification is the dualization of the encryptable factorization process. When the vector based finglestrup is elongated to the point of dypstrontinazation, we find that standard passwords are, in a word, flangoozled. By dishappening the estronable bases, the possibility of grolingering becomes ziponified. All that said, I fully support two factor identification, and you should too.
I know what they should do...get all the browser companies together to create a BlueBrowser Special Interest Group (SIG), and define standards for interoperability. Then, to top it all off, create a special logo that can only be used by browsers that meet the rigorous testing and qualification requirements that ensure BlueBrowser software will render webpages properly.
Nah, who am I kidding...That sort of thing would never take off.
Yeah, but then it's only a matter of time before some solvent shows up that will safely eat away the epoxy, and people will be proud of their "naked" systems.
A better solution would be to only offer server-based content. Minimal physical system, no significant modding can happen, unless you break into their facilities, which would have it's own built-in legal consequences.
Maybe during the Vietnam War era this would have been ideal, but given the current state of affairs, it might work better if they made a "just add sand" concrete structure...
Slashdot Mirror
So they're saying that other countries don't have to follow US legislation? Who'd have guessed...
Seems a bit risky, considering their close proximity to the US and the tendency for US to invade other countries.

In case you're wondering, the parent post was modded insightful because now people don't actually have to click on the link and risk RTFA.

Carpooling with a multilingual person? If you work in a technical environment, this should be easy enough to come by....

Google Car Insurance? I can just see it now...
Employee: Well, I searched for it like you asked on Google, but there were no matching results. But I have some good news...
Boss: What's that?
Employee: I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Google.
Better link... http://code.google.com/faq.html
Geez, of course there are nice versions of Hitler. I'm sure Bob, Jane, and Tom Hitler are nice people.
Now if you're talking about Adolph Hitler, leader of the Nazis and driving force behind the Holocaust, then yeah, that version isn't a good one.

Shucks...still no Red Ryder BB gun. Maybe with the next release. Guess, I'll just keep play with my decoder ring and drink some Ovaltine.
Does it support a 1-button mouse?
A trip down to the sperm bank, and they've got access to a whole slew of accounts...
New technique for the modern password hacker: Get bone marrow transplant.
I'll bet the device to take a semen sample will be more enjoyable to use than the typical fingerprint scanner.
On the flip side though, you'll probably be much more hesitant to let others login to your computer...
It also gives new meaning to the phrase "log in"
I'm sure it'll be something like the following:
"Please enter your login"
"Thank you, please enter your password"
"So far so good. Now, reading over the last few emails you've replied to, it appears you have some trouble 'getting it up'. As a final verification, please confirm the date of your most recent order of Viagra"
Kinda like AdSense, but much more intrusive...
I dunno, I've seen Mission Impossible II enough to know that we'll need about 10 factor authentication to be completely secure.

Hopefully that helps...
Bluescreen of death...no, Redha....auuggghhh!!!

I must admit, I haven't laughed that hard in awhile...
