1000 megabytes is 1000 MB, not Mb! 1000 megabytes is 8000 Mb. Honestly. Does every single story have to have some kind of error? WHY DON'T I JUST READ CNET?!?
I don't speak much French, but I have a good semantic sense, so what they're saying to me is that since an invention can be broken down into components, then they can choose which part of an invention falls under the law. A web browser is computer-controlled of course (unless it's buggy and out of control). But its innovations exist directly as software. You can't patent the BLINK tag and you can't patent the whole of HTML and you everything in between!
Remember, France has had the Web better than us for 30 years. Google for "Minitel"...they're more advanced than us. Yes and their women are hot. I'm learning French!
they also say in the above article(link) that, "..light can also induce shape changes anywhere from 10 to 400 percent [in the polymer]." However, it takes a hours for it to return to the original shape.
Hey, the last time it was exposed to light was four months ago, but I already have a device like that.
Since e=mc2, wouldn't it be equivalent to say that chip speed stays the same and everything else, such as Windows, halves its speed during the same time? That would explain why Intel and Microsoft hain't released much lately. That doesn't take into account the fact that Motorola and Apple have been tag-teaming the universe lately...both their chips and their OS are getting an approximate speed doubling this month due to auto-vectorization in GCC 4.0, despite neither being upgraded in 18 months.
"Who said moondust is useless??!" Ha, ha! The liberal moondust-is-useless crowd, of course. Always blaming America and impugning the integrity of America's Moon's dust!
It's new stuff that doesn't quite have a decent purpose yet. Say you could really use it instead of a keyboard (not for hours, just minutes) and now imagine that in addition to drawing a keyboard in light it draws a user interface too. Considering that you can pack enough processor power into a phone to do address books, web browsing, video phone, etc etc, I think we're a lot closer to the mythical Watch Computer. Sweet!
I used to attend the Robot Club meetings at the San Francisco Exploratorium. I attended prepubescently, which is when you generally develop your fixation on robots. Before the smarmy do-nothing adults drove me away I managed to build a twin-motor platform with enough power to carry around a Radio Shack music chip. Later the batteries on that thing exploded.
And now the place has been taken over by 25-foot firebreathing pneumatisms. Good, good.
The deadline is a week from now. A college student is not going to have time to write a business plan. Maybe you should just put an employment flyer out there and enjoy 30,000+ responses PDQ...
Dude, if the though of not one but TWO dual-core 64-bit processors sitting on your desk doesn't get you engorged and/or moist, then it is simply impossible for you to call yourself a geek in good standing
How about engorged XOR moist, please. Some of us are geeks AND understand sexual anatomy!
Slashdot Mirror
Who are you, Zonk? Do you run Slashdot now?
Literally, arrogant for no reason or purpose.
"Arrogant, no end".
Arrogance without borders.
Let's see. The Florida ballot was to blame for Bush getting in office.

Dude, if you don't like your job, just quit.

I am SO not going to the Moon!
Or people telling you to RTFA.
Let's start working on a fix, people! Quick, before April 2nd!

Be quiet, we're all imagining Beowulf clusters of those right now.
Does it make the Internet faster?
If it loads faster than the last version, isn't it by definition not bloatware? Just asking.
No, the general populace totally avoids the average Slashdotter.
Netcraft confirms it. Bye.
This is not my sig.
Dismissed them, not took them out back and shot them. China is still pretty free as long as they don't take them out back and shoot them.
We do not welcome any new Javascript+DHTML overlords.
I, for one, welcome a new endless flood of redundant jokes.
