Why don't you just write the equations down in a notebook, then put a number into your typed notes? You can LaTeXify the equations (or embed them in whatever way you choose) after class.
Yes, but they're never going to do that; security doesn't sell OSes, it's eye-candy that does. 60% of the people I know don't have a firewall, or understand why one is important. The end-user market doesn't understand why security is important, or why they should have it, and it's why crappy companies such as Microsoft and Apple have managed to monopolise the market; they give people what they understand and want, not what they need, and it's exactly the same reason more people don't use F/OSS software/OSes like Linux.
Exactly! You can just install iPod Linux (http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page), and circumvent this whole thing. Also, if people do that, it means less people will be using iTunes as well, so Apple have really just injured themselves.
Flash already dominates the 'interactive web applications' market. I fail to see why anyone would bother learning Silverlight's equivalent to AS, and bother moving over. Virtually every GUI-based Internet user uses Flash, which is already supported on Linux, and in loads of browsers too. Personally, I doubt there will be any success with Silverlight, unless it's significantly cheaper than Flash. Even then, I doubt people will bother to download the client unless it is widely used, which it won't be because nobody will have it, it's a vicious circle.
Don't you already have to have a genuine Windows in order to download updates? If this is true, then surely this is completely pointless for stopping people with versions of XP with cracked keys. =P
I write Python and Perl scripts every now and then and do the fair bit of VB programming. And I churn out HTML like there's no tomorrow. I made my first site when I was 11 with a notepad and a pencil. I'd say us kids do still program.
With a bi more tweaking to the code, the mouse could possibly be made into a linear, perhaps even 2D:-)) barcode scanner. Barcode scanners can be expensive. Optical mice don't come cheap, but cost significantly less than a barcode scanner, could this be the next generation of the CueCat, made at home? Also, your killing two birds with one stone, as it's multifunctional. Mind you, it still isn't as good as that MP3 playing toothbrush I got for Christmas:-))
You can already fit a 2 hour plus film on a DVD, so this is completley usless for movies. It would only be useful for really big series, like The Simpsons, where you could fit several DVDs to one Blu-Ray.
This is completley typical of big businesses, they think they have so much power they can just sweep people who stand against them out of the way. I just hope she can find some resolve.
If a black hole can create a gravitational force so powerful it can suck in light, doesn't that mean that when the light is being sucked in it is travelling faster than light towards the black hole?
Can someone please explain? Are you telling me that hundreds of people will be parading the streets, grunting? I mean, I guess that's O.K, if it has a cause, like raising money for charity or something. Does this actually have a point?

Anyway, what about the Creative Zen Vision, a fine piece of machinery, none the less, which is more than what the iPod Video is expected to be. It's screen will be smaller than the Zen Vision, it won't have all the extras the Zen Vision has, i.e. built-in mic, personal organiser, etc. and it's going to be more expensive. I mean, sure, twice the storage, but 30 gigs is more than enough. Why bother paying more for something that isn't as good just because it's new?
This makes the PSP look like a C64 when compred to the GP2X. Can the PSP play Quake? Well, sure, it's got Wireless, but you can't really program for the PSP as it's not a well known architecture or OS, whereas the GP2X's Linux means virtually anyone can program it. Basically, the GP2X is a potable PC.
I'm sick of this, the government is always developing new weapons, new ways to obliterate the enemy. Why can't we all just live in peace and harmony and play games with eachother instead of blowing ourselves up! We're probably the stupidest race on the planet because we're the only race that destroys themselves. On Christmas Day during WW II the Germans and Americans stopped fighting and had a game of football, then got back to killing eachother the next day, wouldn't it be lovely if that Christmas Day was every day?

Have people lost the ability to Google for answers before pestering other people? After about 5 seconds I found this:

You're welcome. =P

OK, so their CAPTCHA has just been broken, and computers cannot read handwriting... why not use handwriting as CAPTCHAs?

I hope it doesn't use the system clock, because you could just freeze/rewind it. I would totally LOL if that works.

That's really wierd. I just blogged about this on my site 4 days ago. Maybe News.com journalists read my blog =) http://217.155.230.229/index.php/content/view/18/2 /

Yes, well, this was pretty obvious, as Britannica isn't exactly 'user editable'. Perhaps this may lead to a bi-anually hardcopy Wikipedia?

What do you mean, how it works? It's a giant Class II or III laser. Any Class II or III laser will blind you. The clue is in the name...

I saw this in New Scientist a few weeks ago. There's a nice, long article about this in there.

Hasn't this been posted before somewhere? Either that, or I'm having a bad case of de ja vus today...

This satellite imaging thing reminds me about World Wind. There was a Slashdot on that a day or two ago wasn't there?

I may never need to type or write my journal entries again! LOL
This is amazing, by using movement algorithms, you're almost giving the robot an 'intelligence'. The potentialities of this are enormous!
