many people want to browse the web using mobile devices. The speed is there now, but the web pages make themselves difficult to use. I find most pages read okay until the stylesheet loads.
If you're going to make a joke on slashdot, you gotta at least register the domain and build a website, or nobody will take you seriously. I have not registered the domain and built a page there. The page appears identical to the firefox error page.
It's not just ISPs and sites who can be faulted for co-operating with foreign censors. Much of the censorware used by such governments is developed in America. A great step would be to introduce legislation to expose which companies are selling censorware to foreign governments. This a tool of oppression, and exports should be scrutinized like weapons.
until you can nail 110% correct recognition, in a crowded area..
The keyboard works, 100% of the time. Its easily understood. Its robust. It fails gracefully - you immediately see if you've made a mistake before submitting a command. Mr Keyboard, let me guess you wrote that sitting down at a desk.
The keyboard doesn't fit 100% of situations. You need space for it. It needs a surface and it needs two hands. You can't keep a keyboard in your pocket. You need to look at the screen for accuracy, but learners need to look at the keys. It takes a relatively long time to learn. You can't use a keyboard while walking, secretively, or holding something else. Oh, and RSI.
Alternative input devices are needed. The keys on your mobile phone are fine for dialling numbers, but you'd never even think of using them to write a novel longer than 160 characters. Go download dasher and think how faster it is to learn when you are looking at the controls. And how fast you could get using your thumb or finger to steer it on.
We will probably be pounding keys at our electric typewriters at our desks for many years. But if you're stuck at a keyboard, you're stuck sitting down. The debate is how to free users from such restrictions.
4. Rewire youtube so that the flash videos aren't played through flash client, but through video player browser plug-in of your choice (mplayer best). There exist greasemonkey scripts for this.
the new "monetary" system that humans are progressing towards. It is not about the "things" that will determine wealth (since in the future everyone's basic needs will be met), but about what you can do for others. In Soviet Russia, ask not what you can do for your software, but what your software can do to you.
If the book is serialized, then the author can even write with no clue as to where the story is heading, change characters at whim, introduce and then abandon mysteries claiming that they will explained later, and extend the series to avoid ever doing so.
They are not emitting this sound on a constant basis, and are just fired for very short periods of time as required. Balls. There is one at the newsagent by my school. The device operates most days. A large proportion of the newsagents custom is school children to whom they sell sweets and cigarettes.
China would serve itself better by looking to the North, and copying Soyuz China *did* copy Soyuz, certainly with some help from the the Russians, but they also made some improvements on it, the Shenzhou re-entry capsule is larger than that of Soyuz. The real interest in the similarity of the designs is that the Chinese spacecraft has a similar docking module to Soyuz, meaning that it is technically capable of docking with the ISS. Now the Americans won't be sending invitations yet, but Russians wouldn't have a problem.
Slashdot, we know xkcd. If we read it, then we've already heard your story about katanas, ninja students or googlemooting. If we don't read it, then we don't find your story funny. Either way, posting this article is neither amusing nor newsworthy.
Keep slashdot to stuff that matters.
It is difficult to take this seriously until we are capable of running our own simulated universes. Then real consideration would be needed:
What would our subjects think? Would they ask the question we do? Would they run their own simulated universe? Would their subjects ask if they live in a simulated universe in a simulated universe?
If you were to devise a test that our universe is simulated, and we were to test positive, you would never be able to test if our hosting universe simulated. It's turtles all the way down.
What is a non simulated universe like?
I think if we were in a simulated universe, our gods would be having much more fun messin' with us. By likelihood, we wouldn't be a scientific simulation, but in some curious kids' basement. Now that's scary.

Dude, you don't need to hold your breath between 'reply' and 'post'.

Slashdot has no improvement in editing to look forward to.
Facebook is a black hole, yet facebook leaks information to the outside. Thanks, Hawking!
TFA doesn't describe methane as element. I for one welcome our new earth, wind, fire and water overlords. Anyway. Titan has methane. We know this.
