funny, I only see one page, and it isn't really all that interesting to read. I mean "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable"? Hasn't that been done before?
...And in the news of the bizarre, a robot is suing the entire human race for infringing upon its patented method of forward locomotion. While the ruling on the case is still up in the air, officials are suggesting people purchase Segways or wheelchairs, just in case.
In all seriousness though, in the video it looked like the robot wasn't balancing itself. Instead it was attached to an arm coming from the center of the circle the robot was walking in to keep it upright. I have to say that this will be a lot more impressive when they can pull this off without having to hold the robot's hand.
The bigwigs at the big N in general are famous for getting people excited over things we already knew by slipping in a bite or two of actual news with the repetitve stuff. So yeah, in three sentences, here is all of the new information safely extracted from a much larger presentation.
My main concern is whether there will be a heat issue or not. I regularly run Slax off of my thumb-drive and the heat the thing gives off after about 10 min is unbearable (but it makes a good handwarmer in the winter). If this is what I get from 1 gig, what can I expect from 32?
PA did speak back in september, but the transcript was just recently released. One of the students there at MIT recorded the event and spent hours of his time transcribing it on his own, in his own free time.
Half the point of this article is nonsense. It is written as a farce on the entire idea that the big N is promoting piracy. The fact that an artist giving away free copies of his music is illegal is ridiculous, just a ridiculous as a poster making the post of "Yams yams yams yams yams." That's why Yams's comment was included in the story, to point out the farce. If you need help with that, imagine it's Jon Stewart reading the article out loud.
Naww, they're right on the same maturity level as he is. If anything, any laysuits between the two can be filmed as a documentary and then marketed as a comedy.
...The Beings for Ethical Treatment of Sentient life (BETS) lost the dispute over destroying the planet Earth in order to create a new Hyperspace Highway. Vogons, who have had equiptment in place for nearly a month now, observed mad behavior that "no sentient being would perform" when earthlings trampled one another for computers that, by even their primitive standards, were well outdated. The destruction of earth that was previously halted by BETS is now scheduled for next Tuesday.
I'd like to see this extended to a combined toaster/jelly-jet printer. Delicious toast printed to order with the image of your choice. Of course it would require a bread feeder that could do cut slice or continuous loaf.
Can you imagine the load of cash I could make with such a device!
Yeah lets boycott gas too!! (Then we can walk everywhere). Boycott Computers (then our data is really safe). Boycott Credit cards (then no one can steal our identity). Don't waste your time crying. Design something better!
Your examples are all bad. In each case there is really no alternative to use. If you have a 45 minute drive to work, the option to boycott cars is hardly possible.
In our case, something better has already been designed and we have the power to boycott. There are powerful alternatives (such as firefox)to use in a fight against M$.
In fact, the Hebrew/Christian story of Genesis has TWO (or more?) accounts of creation...
That is another thing people have to look at. Regardless whether you believe the bible or not, it is OLD! There are bound to be some trascription/translation errors made throughout it's history. Someone might have even changed (GASP!) parts to fit their ideology. If you do believe the Bible, then it is reasonable to say that you beileve that the story of Genisis is taken from Moses's account and that would make the story even older, and prone to even more mistakes.
One could argue that God would preserve His records in perfection, but that would also say that He would deny man the power of chioce, and I believe that is one of the reasons we were placed here. So He couldn't do that (writing by my beliefs here, I know someone will have a differing view). So He preserved what He could, giving us what is more than likely an incomplete Bible. There could have pure scientific fact written in there and it could have been lost due to time and replaced with "magic".
My other point I would like to say is that the people/prophets who wrote the Bible were not scientists. They could only explain what they saw in many instaces by saying things like "the sun stopped" and "the moon stood still" because of their point of view. The did not know scientific theory, so it was "Magic". Just because the Bible does not contain scientific knowledge, that does not mean that science is false, nor does it mean that the miracles performed involved no science. I believe that the creation did happen and that evolution was one method used during it (and yes, it continues now).
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't that how cartridge-based systems have worked since the year dot? I certainly remember Nintendo making a fuss about ugrade chips in the first Starfox game, and that came out as far back as the mid-90s...
Actually Starfox was the first game cartridge to include a processor. Thats why nintendo made such a fuss, it turned the SNES into dual processor system. Otherwise, the processors have always been in the console.

Who else interpreted this title to mean Bush's next speech to involve a U.S. map and red and green crayons?

Pinky, Are you thinking what I'm thinking.
I think so Brain, but where are we going to get the lederhosen for the horse?
...I'm never going to be able to sue you Pinky.

Wow! I wish I could get battery life like this on my laptop. All I can manage is a whole two minutes. This thing can get three!
This opens up a whole slew of new lines to use on the date you want to get out of!
