I just hope that Google stays consumer and user-oriented instead of investing more time in arcane fields like traffic analysis, or the route IBM has gone, "e-solutions." This seems like a step in the wrong direction; it's not like Google is seeking to be recognised among high-profile companies....Google, isn't it time to start writing end-user software?
The point is to be able to stabilise the camera while in motion. Like walking. Or running. If you didn't figure this out, I'm sorry, but you're an idiot.
That would be The Elegant Universe, by Brian Greene. It's actually based on a book that he wrote, which is EXTREMELY well-written. I highly recommend it if you're at all interested in this stuff.
is the FCC. They started this new philosophy of "let's deregulate, and all our problems will go away," and look what happened. The media sources are consolidating, and the telcos are consolidating. Did the FCC WANT this to happen? Sometimes I think so, since it seems so damn obvious that it would. Why would you EVER want to monopolise the cable and telephone lines? How is DSL NOT an information service? The FCC has to recognise that whether it's IP over coax or fibre or phone line or WHATEVER, it's still internet service. They've just really turned the wrong way in the last few years, and it's hurting us all.
Dubbed porn is even better. There's a well-known one from India featuring two babes talking in English with an Indian accent, of course, but then it's dubbed over in an American accent voice (because American accents are cool or something? I don't know). It's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
it's very own Yahoo! 360, which combines blogging, social networking, music, mobile connectivity, local searches (for restaurants and businesses) as well as photo-sharing
F that. How about Airport hardware gets some decent range?
Before you tear me to pieces, let me explain. The Broadcom chipset Apple uses sips what, 30 mW? Hello! This is 2005, and all access points should be able to be cranked up to 300 mW. Now I perfectly understand that for laptops, power consumption is a huge concern. But c'mon; a base station is plugged into the wall. 300 mW is basically nothing. Really, though, an Airport card in combination with an Airport base station yields truly terrible range, while a Linksys and an SMC get really nice range (like, triple that of the Airport hardware). The Extreme's lack of range and complete lack of Linux support has really tempted me to get a PCMCIA wireless card. Apple, why don't you switch to prism54???
a DLP rear-projection system. Doesnt't that make a little more sense, in a way? Then you won't have shadows over everything from people's hands. It'd look a bit better overall anyway.

Gmail Goes Public
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Actually, the plan DOES seem to be coming together, for Google anyway. I remember several months ago, I asked about 20 people if they had heard of Gmail, and of course the people that read Slashdot had, and ordinary people in my History course hadn't. Now I have people emailing me who are completely non-technical (e.g., have other people come and fix their computer for them), telling me that their new address is @gmail.com. I have high hopes for Google; like it or not, places like Yahoo have some nice free services, yet Google was very successful in getting a lot of users switching to their services quickly. Partially, it has to do with simplicity; I'm really hoping that eventually users will come to appreciate neat and clean appearances instead of whiz-bang embed-tag-wav-file nested-tables best-viewed-in-IE ad-clogged flash-driven interface X. I just hope Google can apply this to other things. For a long it seemed as if it was Yahoo's way or the highway, which in turn reminds me of Microsoft. Do more stuff, Google. Do more stuff! XMPP!
the link that appears on the front page of google for certain people only works that one time. There is no universal link for creating a gmail account right now. You need to just go to google.com and it may or may not show up.
Yes. I have a Motorola MicroTAC, which was one of the first flip phones, and it uses AMPS. It pumps out several watts, and as there's almost nothing else around on the same frequency, it's one of the clearest phones I've used. It's also a tank compared to current phones, but it isn't so large as to be unwieldy. This is what it looks like, and it's a perfectly, 100% usable phone, although I need to get a new battery for it.

Well, the full name is Picotux Shuffle, you see..
Wooo....RJ-45-size. Take that, Steve Jobs!!
This is one big piece of flamebait...
You misspelled CDE.
What the hell?
Yeah, great, Adobe. How about a PPC build?

There's something wrong with ActiveX
Of this I have no doubt.
we all know Microsoft would never try and trick people into letting them get away with shutting out the competition...
...guys?
oh, wow, look...it's.......KDE..........

Additionally, it will be fully buzzword-compliant.

an important factor is security
well, that's never stopped them before...

drop every port but x86 I'm trying to find the (insightful) humour in this...I hope it's a joke...
They had to delay it because a problem with a radio on Cassini was detected that lied in the firmware
Hm, I recall a certain other mission to Jupiter in which a firmware lied about a detected problem with the radio...
