That's interesting - it'd be like what Sony tried with their Pocketstation, and Sega's old Dreamcast VMU, but with a greater chance of success since nearly everyone has a phone.
I don't know much about Second Life (still trying to figure out the first one) but if it's already a video game, Linden should be able to put together a little PVP system that lets anyone with a dispute like this take it into the Thunderdome. Two avatars enter, one avatar gets deleted.
Not only is average Joe Sixpack going to be extremely reluctant to go back to having to buy replacement cartridges after getting ued to rechargable batteries, but there is the question of what the cartridges will entail.
What are the safety issues of carrying around a hydrogen/methanol cartridge in a warm pocket, leaving it in a hot car, and other abuses suffered by our current phones? Additionally, as water is usually a waste product of fuel cells, are we all going to have to explain away the spreading damp patches on our trousers more than usual?
And be assured, citizens, that we will never, ever, let a curious finger wander across the board and idly press the beautiful, shiny button labeled "decrypt."
'It is premature to attempt to enact some sort of network neutrality principles into law now,'
Please don't do your job yet! Hear us out first.
'Legislating in the absence of real understanding of the issue risks both solving the wrong problem and hobbling the rapidly developing new technologies and business models of the Internet with rigid, potentially stultifying rules.'
You're all too stupid to know what to do. Let us educate you monkeys on the correct decision to make, so that we can keep doing the stuff we want to. We promise you'll come out of it looking good.
Of all people to ask about it, they pick this guy? Call me picky, but if people ever need an objective explanation of some choice I made, I'd hope they'd get it from someone other than someone who happened to be fighting the fight of their life with me over the exact choice.
For the dwindling class of people who don't get the ref, the TARDIS is Doctorr Who's time machine, which is bigger inside than it appears from outside. Graeme Williams gets several hundred bonus nerd points.
I never thought TV on a tiny phone would take off enough to interest people into doing it with a few nifty hacks and some FOSS, but then again I never thought embedding low-quality cameras into phones would take off either. Funny old world.

I'm a hopeless fanboy of certain things. As far as Playstation goes, "Metal Gear Solid" and "Final Fantasy" are my "must-have titles," which I really, really want to play. I mean, I can't wait to try them. I'm a card-carrying, poster-hanging, action-figure-owning, soundtrack-listening, message-board-haunting, desktop-displaying fan.
But, I'm not rich, and I'm not able to justify blowing double what I did on my first PS2, just to play two or three games. There is just no way for me to blow the cash on a PS3 console that could instead buy the parts for my next Athlon 64X2 box, replace my old washer and dryer, or pay a respectable chunk of my monthly utility bills.
Now's when I'm rediscovering my inner Nintendo fan. Wii looks great, and even now that Gamecube I've had half an eye on for years is only about $70 nowadays.. and there are MGS and FF games on it I haven't played yet!
"This is your captain speaking. If you all look out the left side of the plane, you'll see the lovely San Fernando valley, which we are heading downward toward at increasing speed. Please tell the kid in row 12 to please switch off his Nintendo DS."
I've come up with the perfect method of securing any wireless network from RF-based attack, 100% effective against wardrivers, and with a healthy speed boost as well.

That was weeks ago, and it was on a dare. Let's speak no more of this.

The jolly, candy-like button...
They should never have rejected the dried-frog-pills allowance in NASA'a budget.

Dear Blue Security, Fucksocks. Sincerely, one of your latest members.
That must be why it's called the Darwin server.

I just go to China. The real Internet can't touch me there.
That is an excellent question. I hope someone can post a non-troll answer.

I call it "wire."
...Ye gods, this must be where Hilton sisters come from!!
A nearby sentence also contained "MTV." I have to go stick pencils in my eyes, now. Bye-bye.
Or forcing them to play theirs?
Because without a computer, how are any of the victims ever going to get onto the net to tell the tale? Game over, man! Game over!
Was there a big-head code?
It's shocking how much of that also applies to booth babes.
I thought the article had such a pic - but upon closer inspection, it's a furry woodland creature.
