The article isn't saying that if everyone played Quake they wouldn't have ADD.
The article is saying that NASA researchers have created a device that monitors patients brainwaves. They've hooked this device to a video game written special for the device. Winning and Losing is at least partially linked to your brainwaves and how much of the ADD-symptom brainwaves you're putting out.
The game itself is probably about as fun as Math Blasters.

This is prety cool, And some of these robots are very clever. But I can't help thinking this would be a lot more interesting if the robots were autonomous. Like Robot socer. That way the robots would not only have to be tough but also smart.
If had read the article you'd see that this was being done for the purposes of a tech demo. It was an enginering project for the purpose of develping smaller and more embedable components.
The purpose is not Just to run linux to tell the time. I think we all realise that.
How much is 'serious money'? I'd pay a small amount for each mp3 I downloaded. I'm just waiting for an efficiant way to do it. Sure, without the media exposure the publishers can generate less musicions will become millioners but more of them will make a decent living. I'm all for flattening the money distribution curve a little bit. Nowhere is it written that rock stars get to make millions of dolars.
Well, I know this is just a troll, but if everyone else has been trolled I suppose I can throw my two cents in.
Why are you here? Why did you take the time to post this? Your time could have been much better uttilized working in a garden or small farm creating food for starving people. The energy you spent while reading Slashdot could have saved some small amount of non-renewable resources. Not just the energy your computer takes up either. The energy that heats/cools your home. (if you had been in the garden you wouldn't have needed that.) And the lights in the room where you were sitting. And if you were playing music that's just sensless waste. While we're on the topic of sensless waste, you do heat your house in the winter? What temprature to you keep it at? More then a couple degrees above freezing is just waste. As long as your pipes don't freeze why waste energy when you could just wear anouther layor of clothes? I'll assume that someone as moral as you carpools in a zero-emisions vehicle whereever he/she goes, so we don't even have to discuss that. Meanwhile, what are you thinking when you're not occupied? I hope you're thinking about new and better ways to make the world a better place. I hope you're not selfishly day-dreaming or reading a book. Well if you don't meet the critia above don't you dare tell us what interesting scientific research we can or can not support because of starving people elsewhere in the world. You're not devoting 100% to fixing the worlds problems but we don't come in and tell you what a sensless waste your life is. -Andy L Ok, now someone ask him about the space program!
What kind of goggles were they? This is important. It's not the stereoscopy itself that caused you to black out. If this were true you wouldn't be able to walk down the street with both eyes open. Were they shutter glasses? (Sometimes called flicker glasses.) Shutter glasses are known to cause problems in some people.

I do it all the time. There doesn't have to be a feature in napster. As soon as you start up the download open the file in Winamp(or whatever) and you can play the part you've already downloaded.
Notice that the "time remaining" that shows up in Win-amp is based on the length of the mp3 when you first started playing it so as more of it downloads it'll go past what 'looks' like the end of the file.
Also keep in mind that if it isn't downloading fast enough winamp will eventualy stop prematurely.
I havn't tryed it with gNapster but I'm sure someone will chime in to tell us if it works. I don't see why it wouldn't.
Slashdot isn't writing the stories. They're just providing links to other people's stories and web sites. Having conflicting stories is not a error with slashdot. It's just reprisentitive of different points of view in the world they're reporting on.
"I understand the whole "better than 20/20 vision" thing, but for Williams to promise that, quote, "within five years this technology will allow an average adult to stand in his back yard and scan the surface of Mars without a telescope. " Does anybody really believe this? "
Cool. Maybe we'll finaly be able to find the Mars Polar Lander!
So what? In the hands of the wrong people my keyboard could bludgen someone over the head. In the hands of the wrong people my swiss army knife could slit someone's jugular. In the hands of the wrong person a wrench could kill someone. (In the library.)
It's not even worth mentioning.

Could someone explain this joke to me? It's been posted here every week for the last few weeks, I I'm starting to feel like an idiot for not getting it.

Why is this offtopic? If anything it should be "funny".
The original poster asked where the "pr0m" was. Not the "pr0n" or the "p0rn".

Who cares about PITA? More importantly your 'bot' wouldn't stand a chance! When it's teeth vs rotating saw blades, My money is on the blades.
The comedy is that they've made it into a parody of professional wrestling.
I think that'll get old, but I'm sure they did it so they could stretch this out for a whole season by only showing 2 or 3 matches per episode.
Personably I wish I could just see the whole thing from start to finish. With Much less commentary

Yea, and we all know that the majority of gun owners(and NRA members,fans, and zealots) are part of a well trained militia thats working well.

Even if it's not a problem it's a bit of a curiosity isn't it?
Someone is quietly, secretly poking around. Come on, Aren't you the least bit curious?
When was the last time you checked? And did you check all toys?
Presumably the russian goverment is going to turn a profit of some sort on this deal.

Not really. Since the gates quote is apocryphal.
