If we're going along with the "omelette" simile, then this is like putting a big goddamn hunk of feces in the middle. I mean, some people might be interested, sure, but how many people really want a gigantic turd in their omelette?
Mine's the old style: furry and with a little tail. I give it a little water, some pellets twice a day, and it just runs around on its little wheel and is happy.
Yay, you're wrong on both of those. "That" can refer to people or things; it would only have been wrong had he used "which." Also, "who" is correct.
I am surprised that nobody has found the incorrect usage of "them." In this case it should be "him," or if you want to be politically correct, "him/her."
"We can solve the modesty issue by overlaying the body with graphics except for the area which causes concern."
The terrorists now all know just where to carry bombs to remain undetected!
If the computer scanners see something metal they show it to the scanners in a little cut-out of the censored signs or whatever "graphics" they'll use.
In George Lucas' movie "The Phantom Menace", Obi-Wan whips out a little Jedi underwater breathing apparatus and dives in. As things tend to happen in our world, yesterday's science fiction has turned into today's science fact due to one Israeli inventor with a dream.
Oh really? Then where the fuck is my lightsaber?

It's an "Ask Slashdot." There's never an article.
This may be a joke; disregard this if so.
He means "quieter than the chorus." If a loud chorus is severely limited by the compressor, it will be the same-ish level as even a quiet section.
Ah, how I wish there was a "Pedantic Shmuck -1" mod tag.
Actually, that should be "... how I wish there were a...." It's the hypothetical subjunctive.
Look at it this way: if they ever implement such a tag, you'll have someone on whom to test it (whew! I almost ended my sentence with a preposition!).
I'm not sure why you think that reminding us what the story links to is helpful....

Just what I need: joining some guy's MMOG and start standing inside the goatse guy's ass.
How about I "work around it" by not using IE?
Oh wait, that linked to something slightly different.

How can it not be great with 3 3.2GHz processors?!
He'll make a hundred million dollars if all goes according to plan.
Wait, that can't be right...
Anyone know their profit margin? It can't be more than a dollar per machine.
I use Adium. Should I be worried?

I just use Geocities, it's free and easy!
Wrong use of "it's."
Not obscure for me, but I've lost it. Link plz?

I think that, if nothing else, a very realistic robot will be a good test to see if the uncanny valley actually exists.

Oops. I remembered 30 seconds from the last /. article on this.
This will finally enable you to create your own cheap sextapes, without the chance that some curious CVS employee(s) will see your work..
And the fact that it only works for 30 seconds is perfect for Slashdot users!
If a computer could do it 8 years ago, then with Moore's law, this is 1/(2^5) as interesting as it was then. Did it quickly by hand.
What if I move my head, or rearrange myself on the couch? Will I see a weird hybrid image? And how will this handle sound?

That's happened before; it took an incredible amount of time to do though (something like 40 days, I think).
