If you have stopped using your landline like most people I know, you can attach your amp to the phone lines and small speakers anywhere in your house that's near a phone jack. You need a reasonably sturdy amplifier if you want to drive more than 6 speakers or so, and the sound quality won't be dazzling, but it's real cheap and easy. You can also attach a cheap potentiometer to each speaker for volume control.
My #1 reason: if Linux had 15% desktop share, then hardware manufacturers could no longer ignore it and more software developers would consider supporting it.

Sensory substitution is old (but cool) news, but from TFA it looks like this guy is claiming some inherent ability of the skin to detect light, rather than delivering an image-driven stimulus to the skin. If this is the case, then he's got a lot of work to do. Like stop running simulations and start checking premises.
For those considering defecting, it does not appear that Blockbuster has a comparable profiles feature.
Does anybody know of another service that might work?
Javascript is inherently multithreaded and embedded in a highly asynchronous environment, het has no threading API whatsoever. To me, this is mind-boggling. Every AJAX project I've been involved in has had to build in ugly workarounds or just drop features to prevent race conditions.
Supporting open source doesn't make anybody automatically the "good guy." By supporting open source, IBM is acting in their own self interest; precisely the same reason they are outsourcing to less expensive labor markets.
The thing that's so tragically wrong about this decision has nothing to do with children or porn, and it has everything to do with the ISPs. Utah's government decided that people should have the right to protect themselves and their children from porn, and rather than solving the issue on their own, they passed it off to the ISPs to take care of. It would have been perfectly reasonable for the State of Utah to hire a contractor to whip up a website and some free filtering software for all of Utah to download, but instead ISPs have to raise their rates to deal with moral issues completely unrelated to providing internet.
With cheap projectors, polarizing filters, and some of the tracking systems I've seen recently, you could probably produce a decent immersive VR system for a few thousand dollars. The real problem, I think, is that such systems are rather difficult to configure and program for..

I've been working in a fairly low-budget lab to develop an open source framework for handling projectors and trackers. We'll be presenting at I3D this year:) Forgive me if I'm a little hesitant to post a link to our work.. you can e-mail me instead if you're interested: lcampagn at mines.edu
This vulnerability has been known since November, and a fix was available 6 days ago.. Do any Debian users know why there has not been a security advisory from Debian for this problem?

We've seen plenty of wifi-enabled cameras before (such as the Canon EOS-1Ds), but this appears to be the first _consumer_ camera with wifi.
