If I'm not mistaken (I never looked too closely at Mindstorms), the previous version was not all that powerful, its processor was relatively simple and could be connected to up to two peripherals? Is that right?
This new one seems much better, do you think it affords more freedom to developers? I wanted to buy some of the previous Mindstorms but it didn't look very powerful. If this is, I'm definitely getting it.
In my opinion, Opera is the best browser out there, it's all I use. However, compared to other browsers (particularly IE) the rendering "feels" less shiny. The controls look oldfashioned (IE's are rounded), the font is rather blocky and the general feel is oldish. How do you plan to update the UI (the rendering UI, the rest is flawless IMO) to make it more modern?
I suspect the biggest obstacle to comfortably using exoskeletons is responsiveness. If you want to move your hand, you just think about it and it takes a few milliseconds to move. With an exoskeleton, you have to hit the sensors (perhaps past their critical point), and the hydraulics/whatever has to kick in and move it. How long does that take?
The built-in mail client is so full-featured and light (well, Opera is) that you can think of Opera as a standalone mail client with a built-in browser:P
You mean like the builtin Opera mail client (M2)? It's ultra convenient. Plus, Opera has a download manager that can resume, a feed reader, an IRC client and soon bittorrent support (although I don't see anyone ditching their client because of it). Oh, and voice recognition. And fully customizable interface/shortcuts. OK, I can go on for a while, but I won't:P.
P.S. I'm not being sarcastic, it just came out like that.
I'm not a doctor, but is it good for soldiers' health to be hot and cold simultaneously? I have heard that having air conditioning and heating on is not healthy, so what about this?
Quantum computers can factor a number in polynomial time. That's not because they're really fast (they're not doing it in exponential time very fast, but in polynomial), it's because they have quantum properties. To factor a number, they convert the problem into a problem of finding the periodicity of a function, and then exploit the computer's ability to be in all states at the same time, and thus find the period very fast.
They have the potential to do stuff that we do slowly now much faster, but I don't think they will be that unbelievably faster (3,000,000x).

What, the spinning?
I don't think grinding it's last gears is correct.
Indeed, it's "grinding its last gears".

Slashdot is broken. I am using Opera and the ad is bleeding in the article.
Oh, wait...
Use Textile. It's intuitive, simple and quick.
2.0 works in windows (on XAMPP), I tried it before moving my blog to it. It's quite nice, I love the "real" preview.
Here are the pictures, so you don't have to load the ads:

Naw, it's not at all serious, as this picture shows.

I meant to reply to the first comment, and it went here instead. Go figure.
What is "book"?
Dude, what are you talking about. How will they melt? It's freezing down there!
Don't worry. If we go on like this, that problem will be solved too!
Plant them in antarctica! That's where all the problem is, and it gets way too little sun. Problem solved!
Dude, seeing AOL content IS a negative change :(
Having sumbitted one of those articles myself, I am very relieved that it is not true (yet).
The motion picture industry is working aggressively to take advantage of wide array of digital distribution platforms

In the interpreter, do:

If they went for cubed instead of squared, shouldn't it just have fizzled, giving out c times less energy, instead of blown up?

Why do people calculate digits of pi? Why do they scale mt. Everest? Because they have small penises.
