It will be interesting to see... Not to mention pricing.
I'm sure the price won't be much higher than the original iPad. Yes, higher. All that iPad functionality in a smaller, more portable form factor? We'll pay for that miniaturization technology.;-)
Um, we don't know everything the brain does let alone how it does it. Not being able to spec the requirements of this software pretty much means it will never do what he claims. That being said, if we make this an open source project with one of the truly convoluted licenses I'm sure we'll be able to accomplish it by the time the license situation is resolved by the courts.
I now have a decade to patent this software methodology so I can sue everyone who has a brain that works like the software does;-)
I'm pretty sure the folks in IT will have seen any/. content... and probably the porn too... by the time you get caught doing this at work. At least you'll have something in common to talk about while trying to come up with a lame "I thought I was going to see a golf video" lie;-)
freedom boxes — low-price, ultra-small, plug it into the wall personal servers
These are just going to be one more thing that the IT people in families and neighborhoods will have to support and 'disinfect'. I am not looking forward to the 'freedom' these devices will deliver. Not one bit.
I Guess they finally Konquered that speed barrier they were dealing with. If you look at their old speed numbers you'll see that they used to perform like an old lady crossing the street. Now it's more like the car racing away after running over the old lady.
Capitalism isnt doing so great these days, just because your dad taught you to have a knee-jerk reaction to "communist" doesn't mean it has failed, like capitalism has.
Communism is in the back of a gas station $1 bin with the Logins & Messina cassettes and the Rubic's Cubes that are missing some of their colored stickers... and I'm pretty sure Logins and/or Messina isn't too happy about sharing the space with it.

The Earth is doomed, and these individuals have been chosen to be part of the secret task-force designing the space craft that will whisk the rich and influential away to live on another planet.
Let's hope Hurd does a better job designing the spacecraft that's going to save us all than HP did with its initial 'slate' offering... and we're all crossing our fingers that this space craft will run WebOS instead of Windows.
The 'accuser' has backed off things quite a bit, including saying they never had a sexual relationship... all this after she received a settlement. That's why they call it 'hush money'.
Guns are more a false sense of security than any real form of protection.
Holy fucking Whoosh Batman.
Buglars frequently defeat canine security systems with... meat.
A canine with a gun will take your meat... at gunpoint.
Look, I realize that the best security system is a moat filled lava and lava resistant sharks. But who has time to synthesize the DNA required to crossbreed giant armadillos with prehistoric capybara to feed to them? Sure, airborne attacks are a real possibility too, so while I'm at it I'll just brew up a hybrid spider/snapping turtle that can handle the rooftop assaults. Anything else while I've got Dr. Moreau pinned under a chair?

If your Improbability Drive is properly calibrated you shouldn't have any trouble at all ...
Oh, yeah...explain the platypus, then.
Mother Nature drinks ... a lot. And who can blame her with the likes of us mucking things up to our greatest abilities?

iFrames are commonly used to iNfect websites. iT's not always put there by the web designer.
So Firefox has a security issue? All browsers do. Mozilla tends to fix them very quickly so I'm sure this will be patched soon enough.
Remember kids, 'Free Software' != 'Bug Free Software'.

Oh Oracle, what do you have up your sleeve next? Maybe you'll want to change the spelling of "MySQL" to "MY! SQL"?
The only reason it grew inside of him is because he's as old as dirt ... as a child you were too young to sprout your own garden.
How many early humans were tools ...
Less than the number of internet users who are tools. /s
I was tempted to reply ... and quote the entire post ... but then I realized that would make me an even bigger asshat than he was.
Ted Stevens isn't dead; he's merely in Stage 1-2.
He's like the Terminator (or is it the Energizer Bunny?) ... nothing can stop him.

Does this mean I've just been a jerk since the first grade? No wonder I don't like my inner child.
Tech people aren't exactly known for being overly verbose (except maybe on /.):

* df
* ls
* mv
* ps
* rm

* tr

-40C is also -40F ... so -40 it is
Wasn't Samsung (among others) recently in trouble for price fixing/collusion in the Flash RAM market?
Samsung - I do not think it means what you think it means.
Our old HP-3000's were built to last too. I feel all sentimental now ... I'm gonna revisit the John Sculley years at Apple and crash back to earth.

Actually, come to think of it, a well-trained dog is probably one of your better security options.
Indeed ... especially if he's well-trained enough to use a gun.
