Talking / texting while driving is definitely a problem, but this is not the answer! There's nothing wrong with talking on the phone when using hands free tech. And there's certainly nothing wrong with passengers talking on the phone etc. If they disable data that means no more Pandora, no more Google Nav, and no more wifi mobile hotspot for passengers on long trips!
I agree with you assessment when it comes to phones, but the article is talking about more than just phones. When TV's, tablets, and netbooks can all run Android apps (that can all use each others' features) it's a very tempting target platform for developers developers developers.
Glasses free 3D is going to have some really crappy viewing angles. I don't mind the glasses, but the price needs to come down to something like $50 a pair.
Most, not all, of the negative comments I've seen regarding 3D TVs are from people that haven't experienced them. People seem understandably pissed because they just shelled out serious dough for a new TV that won't support 3D. Some people just don't care, or are stereo blind, and others hate the idea of wearing $200 glasses to watch TV. I think that because people are rightly pissed about these things, they aren't giving 3D a fair shake.
I just had to replace my TV, so I decided to spend a bit more and get a 240hz 3D 46" led lcd for ~$1800 (came w/ 2 pair of glasses and a movie), which is about what I spent 5 years ago on the TV that had to be replaced. I love the thing!
The fist time I crashed my car playing MotorStorm 3D Rift on PS3, I was literally laughing out loud, it's AMAZING. The game is so much more fun in 3D, it's easier to judge turns, you have dirt seemingly flying out of the screen at you, it's just really cool!
As far as content, there isn't much, MotorStorm is great, MLB is good, Super Stardust HD is better in 3D, Wipeout is awful, can't wait for Gran Turismo 5.
Not true at all, Android does support multitouch. A lot of this confusion comes from the fact that the Android Browser doesn't support pinch zoom in / out. There are plenty of apps including games on the market that support mulitouch. For example the free Dolphin browser which supports pinch zoom.
All this talk about Android not supporting apps on SD is way over-hyped. Apps can read from the SD card, if an app developer wants / needs to, they can put most of their data on the SD card.

Evoting can work if the source and hardware design of the machines are completely open to the public. We have a right to know how our votes are counted. I don't understand why this is such a problem, and I really don't understand why anyone would put up with anything less.
You can send text messages for free by using AIM. Just send the IM to the phone number (add +1 to the beginning for US numbers, don't know if this works in other countries).
Don't you have to actually manipulate one of the entangled particles/waves in order for the other particle/wave to change? Isn't it also the case that there's no way of knowing how a change in one particle/wave is going to affect the other particle/wave until you do it?
Agreed! I've had my w810i for about 6 months also and it's great. Got the 4gb mem stick pro duo, and a usb 2.0 adapter for it, I keep the original memory stick in the adapter and use it as a jump drive. It's my only mp3 player, I use it all the time, no DRM and sound quality is fantastic. It also has a radio, runs j2me apps, has a 2 mexa pixel camera, infrared and bluetooth. Did I mention great battery life?
[anecdote] The other weekend I used it to transfer a jump drive driver from one laptop to another. The laptop that needed the driver (win98 machine) had no floppy drive, no internet access, no bluetooth, but it did have infrared. So I used bluetooth to get the driver off the laptop that had internet access onto the phone. Then used infrared to get the driver onto the win98 laptop.:) [/anecdote]
The reality is that as the economy becomes global, Americans are going to loose money. Americans have been profiting off other countries poverty for so long that we have come to expect a certain level of (undeserved) wealth. As the global economy starts to balance out, the United States economy has nowhere to go but down.
Use Dug Song's arpspoof, on a BSD or Linux box, to analyze the traffic comming from the suspect. Make sure you have packet forwarding enabled on the box running arpspoof. For FreeBSD, just check that "gateway_enable="YES"" is in your/etc/rc.conf file. Now run arpspoof -t [suspect box's ip address] [gateway router ip address]. Now the suspect box will think that your Linux/BSD box's MAC address is the MAC address of the gateway router. So if you run tcpdump, you'll see all the packets that the suspect box is trying to send out to the internet.
If your trying to establish a VNC connection and your server's behind a NAT, that you can't poke holes in, run a reverse VNC connection. Have the VNC server connect out to the client. With tightVNC it's winvnc -connect [host[:display]] [host[:port]]. You can have this running on a schedule or something.
This sounds like a great idea, as long as you can erase your history, just like I can erase my google cookies!!! I hate regular commercials as much as the next guy. But if they're tailored to things I like, I might actually be interested in watching them. But I don't want anyone tracking my behavior, unless I know about it, and I can erase my history, otherwise, count me out!!
Props to Slackware, it's where I got my start. But Gentoo gives you _complete_ control over your system, and has portage to boot! Why waste time slacking, when you could be hacking?

View-Masters were pretty cool!
MotorStorm 3D Rift kicks ass and the graphics aren't even that good! Gran Turismo 5 is going to have me ROTFLOL!

Google voice is not VOIP
Well one repercussion is that the Nexus One doesn't support ATT's 3g band.

Hey slashdot, I'd love to see a poll on this.
That's awesome, just like in HL2! Machines are going to be flying around taking pictures of us, how cool is that.

He didn't even get into TFS!!!!
Now, let me get this straight, the guy donated money to a site, typed in a URL, and then got arrested! WTF!
Hundreds of people try, unsuccessfully, to log in to my SSH server with random usernames and passwords! I don't call the feds on all of them!
There's a huge difference between looking in someones window and smashing it with a rock!
