As soon as I read the article, Gasaraki came to mind.
I'd like to know more about the "aEgis robots" mentioned in the article. I wonder if this is a spinoff of the Aegis naval weapons system (Some kind of super-duper anti-air targeting/firing system) technology that US/Lockheed sold to S.Korea a few years ago?
South Korean troops deployed in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil used two aEgis robots mounted with rifles between November 2004 and February 2005 for surveillance, along with mine-detonating robots.
Sounds cool. Personally, I hope these Aegis robots look something like this.
A replacement scam will be ready by the time this comes to pass. Some hybrid of service plans and megastore membership fees I imagine.
I'm actually amazed there are enough unconnected/extremely impatient people aroung to keep these stores afloat as is. In my experience, buying online + overnight shipping (17 hour purchase to delivery window) cheaper once the item prices goes over $100 while two-day shipping is cheaper across the board.
It boggles my mind that people continue to pay a 40% retail markup for anything more expensive than a DVD.
I recall a time in the 90s when April Fools news did a great job of walking the thin line of perfectly plausible. Great effort was put into crafting stories that took days and even years to refute.
Sheng Long from early 90s April EGM comes to mind.
Of course, I understand that the wealth of information available on the 'net these days has changed things signifigantly. However, most of these articles really didn't even try.
Lets have less Photoshop and more though next year.
It seems to me that protection of this kind of personal information would be the ideal place for some kind of use-limiting DRM.
Prohibit the various uses of sensitive data to control where it goes and what can be done with it.
Sensitive information simply shouldn't exist in any permanent form on physically insecure devices like laptops, pdas, flash drives, phones and blackberries.
Isn't the Make article just a reprint of the popular design of a CMU (I think) student which I first saw on/. about a year and a half ago?
Also, about Make...
I had high hopes for Make when I saw it previewed on the O'Reilly site as I'm a big fan of the books they publish.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the steep price ($14.99) for little more than a compilation of articles that I've already seen on/. or in 2600 over the past 2 years.
Make needs more original content or a more frequent schedule (monthly) and lower price ($5) imo.
>Because I know exactly where it came from. Typically your antivirus software doesn't just arrive in the mail. What a stupid point.
>A disc arriving in the mail is NOT an authorized source! Anyone could have sent you that. It could be your bank, but it could be your neighbour or a stranger or some kind of e-hitman that's been hired to specifically target *you* and your money.
Why do you automatically assume that discs will randomly arrive in the mail? Nowhere in the article is that even suggested.
"If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about."
That line has become thouroughly entrenched in our society. Any and everything can be justified to the average american with that phrase.
Thank you! Thank you!
I've been on a physics kick lately and the concept of convergent evolution has been bouncing around my head constantly without the proper terms to describe it.
The more I understand about the observed laws of our universe, it seems almost obvious that life erupting elsewhere is more likely to evolve as we know it than not.
Not every app is a candidate for the client server paradigm, but many are.
Thank you,
Now, each the clowns showing off their elementary math skills calculating the exact crappiness of Foo '04 LE tossed onto a thin client or any other comparison-so-ridiculous-it-only-makes-me-look-foo lish list should read that sentence until it sinks in.
I consider gMail and gMaps to be perfect examples of "better than local" applications that I use everyday. Given that, I have complete faith that Google will address applications that adapt well and do excellent job of implementing them.
I agree to a point and here was a time when I would have agreed wholeheartedly while torching a pile of vhs dubs in protest.
However, looking back I've realized that a great benefit of watching dubs is the "masking" effect.
You see, the juvenile voices, dialog, cornball jokes and wafer thin plotlines present in a lot of anime don't sound nearly as bad when spoken in a foreign language.
Once translated, all these things become annoyingly apparent.
Does this LiveCD include any applications which take advantage of the third dimension natively? Rotating browser windows is a cute diversion while an intelligently designed, three-dimensional file/query manager or development environment would actually be useful.

If people actually educated themselves about these things they'd have no venomous indignation left to fuel their ignorant, bigoted cliches.
The Washington Post is cheap ($0.35) and easy enough to navigate that I don't mind the ads and buy one when a story catches my eye.
Wired has become so ad heavy that I chose not to renew my subscription and now google the topic of an interesting cover rather than buy the magazine.
The Washington City Paper is completely free and I read it more often than either of the former.
If HBO introduced commercial breaks and product placement into the middle of Deadwood they would lose my subscription in seconds.

Certainly REAL scientific space exploration is at least as valuable as a dramatic representation of it on network TV?
