  1. Re:I watched it 5 times in a month! :-P on The Last Starfighter--The Musical! · · Score: 1

    Or like in Clerks, the animated series, episode five. Randal beats a game called Pharoah. The purpose of the game is to move around huge stones in a pyramid so he is of course kidnapped and forced to work doing the same.

  2. Re:God solved this problem with hair on Flexible Sensors Make Robot Skin · · Score: 1

    It's actually the shaving gel that causes the temporary loss of sensation.

  3. Why would anyone need lossless audio on a portable on Big Demand for Digital Music Players · · Score: 1

    To be able to tell the difference you would need some serious headphones on you where ever you went. Which kind of limits the portability.

    Then there's also the question of battery life with huge files. The harddrive would have to spin almost continuously with the buffer designed for compressed files.

    With the ever increasing bandwidth you're probably going to be using a wi-fi enabled mobile to listen to all your music when you're not at home. You could store it on your personal media server lossless and then downsample and stream.

    Ahhh, convergence :)
