  1. YEY! Adult swim helps us all out~ on Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think this is proof that adult entertainment is really evolving. And who do we have to thank for all this wonderfullness? Adult Swim.
    They have really shown the world that we want more animation, just like they get in japan. And what better then more episodes of my most favorite show of all time, (besides the simpsons). Seems the quick dissemination of television shows to DVD also really helps show those network borgs just how much we really love a show. Take that Nielsen!

  2. 10.4.1 on Malicious Web Pages Can Install Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is why apple is wating a little bit on releasing the first update to tiger, that way they will be able to nip all thoes nasty bugs and oversites in a nice update. Rest assured mac folks, this will get fixed Apple is really up on the security thing and they will problably set it up so that you are asked before installing any widgets. At least no matter how bad the fllaw is it isn't something that can comprimise the system itself.

  3. WOW. Babel rises... on Translation Software That Learns by Reading · · Score: 1

    Kinda interesting. I was approaching things in this general direction just a few days ago. I am a writer, and I work with a lot of content generation, proverb style stuff, and so on.

    I was playing with Babelizerand getting some interesting results. Very interesting. Especially in the world of asian languages. In the end it seemed like an almost eeery argument. And then what originally was a 200 charecter piece became a wierd diatribe.

    So I thought, wouldn't it be neat to apply something like a ALICE, Learning interface, and see what it got out of things. I mean, things like this have been tried in the past, especially during the heavy AI experiments in the 70's.

    Can't wait to see some more results from this project.

  5. GPRS, Cell v.s. Analog dial up?, VOIP in future? on Use A Regular Phone For Cellphone Calls · · Score: 1, Informative

    Now here's a question... Or an insight; whatever... I have been using my GPRS data connection for a while, through my cell, to make data connections. While being slower then wifi of any sort (except for these damn congested hotel networks), it is a great tool for say, traveling on a train, and making my connection. Cingular does not make this a vey easy thing to do, but thanks to a lot of patience, and research, i found a few web sites that really helped me out with getting this connection made. With Cingular/AT&T, the data package for full on GPRS all the time is 20 dollars a month, and it's always on as long as your in the GPRS network. The speed seems to be higher then regular dial up, and keeps me connected.

    Link:
    http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html Great link to scripts to make this possible in many ways with many phones.

    Now the future as I see it is using something similiar to Skype, or VOIP technology to enable this as a way that i can be making calls through my computer, and paying for a GPRS connection that is always on. While it's nice to be able to just ring through on the cell, I think 20 dollars a month for a VOIP connection anywhere I can recieve GPRS would be FINE and Dandy! Feel free to add to this if anyone has done any other legwork into this idea.
    Now, I figure this might be rate as offtopic, in fact, I fear it, but I see this as being related to some of the other things people have said so far on this topic. Now, I have looked at this product, (thank you anonymous coward for the easy link to the cached site
    (here) http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:ZWgMwpNIwucJ: www.cellsocket.com/+cellsocket&hl=en

    Now this is interesting.. This was mentioned in an earlier article, on Nov 22, 03.
    Are we behind in the times?
    http://boogle.cc/index.php?blogid=1&archive=2003-1 1 Gotta search for the word cellsocket, can't seem to find an anchor to sink my digital teeth into.

    I guess this seems like a neat product, but I want more. And I also question why this wasn't released as ?news? on slashdot till now? Hmmmmm
    Well, let me know if anyone has any ideas on the other stuff I went rambling off on. Always on VOIP everywhere would rock my world harder then any hardline home phone thingamajig... Let's make the most of our collective brains, and start up the saucestorm of knowledge.. let it flow free :)

  6. Maybe now Apple on US Government May Not Approve Sale of IBM PC Unit · · Score: 1

    will buy it, and turn into an even bigger player then ever before. That's what I got my fingers crossed on. Although it would be tight to have everything become PPC, the way it looks like it's going.
