I want Videos! Pictures do nothing for me. In this age of palm sized video cameras and streaming porn, you would think I could get at least a lo-res video of some robots.
You've got a lot of responses about what the cellophane is actually doing and random dot stereograph images so I won't go into that.
Here is a site that lets you see what it's like to just cross your eyes with two images displayed on the screen. (just click on the first icon by each pic, the one with the crossed eyes) What you are doing is trying to line up the two images to meet in the middle to make one 3d image. You will also be able to see an image on each side that if you try to look at you will loose the whole thing. These extra images are what the polarization blocks. It is really a neat effect, but your eyes get tired after a while. This is the same position your eyes are going to be in when you're using the laptop viewer here and you eyes are going to get just as tired just as fast.
Not sure how you are going to identify the sender AND have postboxes where anyone can post a letter
My guess is it would be something like making a deposit at an ATM. You have a card and a PIN to log into it then put your envelope in the slot and it's collected later.
It could have a keyboard and screen to enter the recipient address and it would print a barcode on it identifying the sender and recipient so you wouldn't even have to write anything on it. And it would have a camera on it of course to prevent "misuse."
"While I agree we need patents to protect intellectual property"
The way things are going now, it's not just to protect intellectual property of something you may or may not have invented, but it's to protect you from someone else patenting it out from under you and demanding money from you.
The point of the DNA test is to prove who the blood/whatever belongs to. It's already been established and agreed upon during the rest of the trial that the owner of the sample is the one who committed the crime. The DNA is only to link it to a person.
What he is saying is that the jury might think that 1/1,000,000,000 means that there is a good chance it doesn't belong to that person. Not that the owner of it, who ever he/she might be, might not be guilty. (keep in mind that 1/1,000 is considered imposable)

Because PDF is a "secure" way of distributing a document.
Yes, it's actually a GIANT honeypot emulating the entire internet. They are going to track you and see what you would do if you were really allowed to access the internet.
As mentioned by someone else, the latest Discover magazine had an article about a company making solar power units that sit on your roof to do just that. The difference is that they don't use normal solar panels because of the expense and low efficiency. What they do is have an array of mirrors to reflect light to a central receiver like the large units mentioned here, but at the center is a sterling engine that uses temperature differences to create motion and drive a generator.
I remember seeing those, never tried one though. From what you say, you would be better off making some kind of grid that sits on top of your window to vent the air, but still keeps your car secure from hands reaching in.
Without ventilation, the best way I've found to keep my vehicle cool is the windshield sun shades. Just a plain silver one to reflect the most light. Then be sure and park facing west so it reflects most of the afternoon sun.
Has anyone found Taco Bell's new campaign as funny as I have? The "Win Free Gas" sweepstakes. Wouldn't that mean that everyone that eats at Taco Bell is already a winner?

its a story about a top notch reverse engineer who, after a quick memory wipe, finds trying to piece together the mystery of his past
Am I reading it wrong, or is that missing something? (And I mean in the grammatical sense)
I, for one, welcome our new Bunny-Men overlords.

If you could just keep the damned thing from rebooting!

Just say it. PISS PISS PISS
Slashdot doesn't restrict any words. If you want to protect people from your "bad" language, then change your wording.

Networking? I thought these things were just used for sniffing out others.

Maybe it's for the same reason that cartoon characters only have 4 fingers.

It's only going to take a few people doing this before manufacturers start offering systems with other OS options or no OS at all.

That's a good idea, why not just stick a leaf blower into the back of your PC. That should keep everything cool.
"Or you just a a remote with a touchscreen LCD"
Like an old palm pilot. And you can use it to play games durring commercials.
"the menu on my TV still leaves me using Up/Down to move forward and backwards, and using Left/Right to move up/down"
Turn the remote on it's side when in the menu. Use it like a game controller.
Just put a mirror on the wall to bounce the IR off of.
