we should trust the educated.. its because of the idiots that want their shitty primative freedom, that makes technology and the benefity of humanity cease to evolve.. if there's something better, than we need to invest our tax dollars into what will make our lives better.. that is what our government should be doing.. but instead, they are letting business do whatever the fuck they want including manipulating the fuckin retarded minds into thinking that fast food is still ok for you to eat..
i just don't see the benefits of having people govern the internet.. i guess it will decrease things like spyware and virii.. but other than that, its obviously a cheap attempt to watch every fucking move we make.. Internet2??
haha its quite hilarious hearing the mac fan boys complaining about this whole intel merger.. In general, most uneducated mac users, NOT THE EDUCATED ONES, hate Intel just because the associate Intel with Windows.. stop fucking associating a piece of hardware, with software.. you're missing the point.. the quality, and price is obviously better.. the fact that intel is such a popular company and manufacturers tons of chips, gives them the ability to sell them CHEAP!! which is good because maybe us PC users will finally fucking buy a Mac for a change.. the only reason we haven't in the past is because of how ridiculously and inapropriately expensive they have been.. you should be praising this event.. its what you have wanted all along you just don't even know it..
these things are almost just like regular old diskless NFS-BOOT style clusters man..
except even with clients that are "diskless", they are packed with some juicy ram, and a juicy CPU, which then gives you some nice load balancing options.. and no harddrives required..
this idea is quite fascinating.. they must use a KVM type of technology.. i'd like to see what the little "network box" looks like.. things like this would be IDEAL for very large companies.. if its set up properly, i can only imagine what kind of cluster projects you could accomplish.. have a nice big server case full of employee nodes.. it would administration about 3,000 easier too for those help desk people out there.. just think about it.. the remote administration aspect is another good one too..
yea yea, its cool.. this isn't the first music playing robotic thing i've seen.. someone below said they forgot the "Wank" button.. they also forgot the "inspiration", "creativity" and "originality" buttons.. they've got a long way to go before they can replace a human musician.. music is a magic that can't be emulated.. comes from real life expression and emotion.. i could definitely see a robot composing actual music one day though once those crazy Lisp programmers make some good fuckin AI for a change! heh
slashdot sures knows how to get a guitarist rowled up..
i think its GREAT that google is helping in getting this shit accomplished.. personally, I work at in office in a very rural area.. however, i can literally look across the street and see people that can get cable internet access.. for the past 3 years I've been trying to figure out some sort of broadband solution, but it will end up costing me tons of money.. Comcast says I need to pay them $3,000 to drill underground so they can lay cable.. thats bullshit.. satellite providers are a joke.. i can't deal with a fucking download limit.. so essentially, this internet over power line shit is the perfect solution for my fucking problem.. google, you could possibly be saving me and our business from destruction.. broadband will increase productivity quite substantially.. being that we're an online business that deals with hundreds of customers a week over the internet, you'd think I was ridiculous for telling you that there are 5 of us that work for this historical society, and we only have one dialup internet connection.. something needs to be done, but nothing can be done.. except this..
indeed more time should be spent securing wireless networks.. tax dollars people.. tax dollars.. do you really want your money being put towards this kinda use?? making YOU pay because other people are too fucking lazy and can't secure their shit?? C'MON!
indeed the Pepper Pad is pretty sweet looking.. i would give it a shot if it didn't cost so much..
i'm personally looking for another Linux PDA like the Zaurus.. but even still, the price for those is above $500 unless you go Ebay on that bitch..
You'd figure since Linux is an open source, free operating system, the price of Linux PDAs should be substantially cheaper.. I want a Linux PDA the Price of one of those cheap Color Palm Pilots.. $200-300 price range would do the trick for me..
everyone seems to forget about the whole money situation..
i personally watch the old analog tv because i choose not to watch cable tv.. i think its pointless in my opinion because all the networks suck anyway with the exception of a few.. and i feel that I shouldn't have to pay $50+ a month for only a few channels..
but i hope that one day, networks like discovery, comedy central, and cartoon network will start offering a Live internet feed of their regular daily broadcast to those who choose to pay a small subscription fee.. i think it'd be genius..
lets admit it, DSL is still by far much cheaper than cable at the moment.. I bought the cheapest phone line I could get for $13 a month.. Verizon DSL for $29.95 month.. thats around $43.00 a month for internet access..
if you choose to buy cable internet and do not have cable tv, it costs around $60+ a month.. if you already have cable tv ($50 a month) and want internet access, it will be an additional $20-$40 per month.. with the DSL method, you save quite a bit of money, and get all the internet tv you could want.. but i still like the fact that my tax dollars pay for analog broadcasting because I enjoy the PBS network and their programming on occasion.. i'm not looking forward to buying the $200 box, although I am excited to get a better quality reception with public digital tv..
its nice seeing people getting stoked about Knoppix.. its been such a handy util for me thats for sure..
i wish all operating systems were that fail safe.. if you fuck it up, just reboot and put the disk back in.. no formatting, no partitioning..
i can only imagine the potential Knoppix has created and will create in 3rd world countries..
i personally love to use Linux.. but I always find myself going back to Windows after a while simply because of certain software suites like Adobe CS.. my HD isn't huge so dual booting is a little pointless.. Knoppix was the perfect solution for me.. keeps me in the linux loop, so I can continue to see all the new software that comes out, and keep in touch with my linux interior..;)
what you SHOULD be reporting is how many people STILL use Dialup !! The numbers are higher than you think.. i work in a place where there is NO broadband offered not even "ISDN Anywhere".. i've been on the phone with the district presidents of verizon, comcast, and mediacomm..
I can literally see people right across the street that can get cable internet.. satelite providers are a damn joke.. (sorry but i'm not going to have a bandwidth limitation like 169megs ever 4 hours or your services gets cut off completely)
but seriously, there's NOTHING i can do.. verizon said there wouldnt be anything here for another 3 years probably.. its either that, or my business shells out $5,000 for them to run some more cables.. FUCK!! someone HELP!!!
its definitely not the fault of the left wingers as some of you say.. c'mon now.. 14 houses that were apart of a little community were all bull-dozed down simply because they were building resort fitness and yatch club.. if thats not a republican reason to do something, I don't know what the hell is..
in THEORY the democratic party can be a wonderful thing.. I personally like the idea of spending a small percetange of my yearly wage to be directly invested back into our country for the benefit of all individuals.. i.e. medicare, public transportation, roads..
the problem is, the majority party (republicans) spend our money so fucking poorly.. they contradict themselves when they say "we don't need more government!" yet they make all sorts of bullshit laws influenced by religion, and spend our money like kids in a fucking candy shop..
definitely sad to hear about his passing.. I work at a little historical society here in Delaware, and we come across tons of autographed letters and photos for authentication purposes.
i've seen a few of Kilby's old letters of correspondence.. truly a great man, and his autograph goes for a nice shiny penny.. one of the mile marking people throughout all of humanity's history..
"Forget GPS" my ass...
i certainly HOPE they don't speak of this as a replacement for GPS.. but definitely a cheap, and compatible way for PDAs and Laptops to obtain GPS-type information..
I could see it now.. WPS networks getting hacked and you end up having people driving their cars in the ocean because thats where it said to go..
I'm so sick of haters like this.. why would you argue with people who generally have the same intentions as far as computing is concerned??
its a FREE operating system... "Why do you continue to use it when you know it sucks!?" c'mon gimme a fucking break.. its free you dumb shit.. and sorry, but OpenBSD is FAR from user friendly..
the aims of both operating systems are totally different, so why the hell would you make a statement like that?? are you retarded?? kissed a girl?? sounds like a fucking 3rd grader debating about something.. christ man..
i'm not gonna diss BSD in anyway because its a great operating system.. In my eyes, any free OS, is a good OS.. let people do what they want.. you're worse than the catholics that run this country..
for now, this is for people who are gadget crazy and just want to buy new things.. i'll stick with my optical G.E. mouse that i bought for $10 at target.. its flawless and the scroll wheel works great..
once that mouse is $10, then i'll buy it..
zeta is theoretically a pretty cool thing.. the more OS's the better in my opinion.. as long as everyone thinks of ways to make everything somewhat compatible.. atleast documents.. and hell, if an OS's can connect you to the net, let you chat on IRC, browse the web, send out emails, and type of documents, there isn't much more you need for some people..
i have thoroughly enjoyed BeOS's software packages that come along with BeOS.. as well as tons of the software bebits.com has to offer..
however, why the hell doesn't the Zeta site have ANY screenshots?? what are they trying to hide?? the hideous desktop??
BeOS Max Edition was a good thing, and so is Haiku.. if it weren't for those things, then BeOS would of been extinct years ago.. but the way Zeta is preserving the legacy, is lame..
as impressive as these robots may be, it still seems the intelligence is based merely off of "IF" "THEN" statements in which then are stored in memory so they remember what to do when another similar event occurs..
i want to see more AI software being developed for the computer..

i guess we just need more people hacking the shit out of government networks
i'll just switch back to BBS's...
