I'm unsure about the water claim, although it is true that you can't tell the difference that doesn't mean that it's not different, the water has been moved all over the shop, but it looks like it hasn't been affected.
Exactly. 10, 20, 30 years from now we may have the processing power and precise enough monitoring equipment to look at a river and say if there is a rock a mile upstream or not.
I think the point is to make the item not necessarily invisible but blend it in with the background noise to the point that it is undetectable. This is no small task currently but by the time they get good at this it will be even harder due to advances in detection technologies.
So I guess you didn't bother to read the summary even? Specifically:
Via has pledged that atmospheric carbon released during generation of the power needed to run the chip throughout its expected lifecycle will be offset by regional conservation, reforestation, and energy programs initiated or contributed to by Via.
Whoops! You accidentally forgot to mention that to get enterprise level support for Ubuntu, you have to pay at least $250 to some company named Canonical.
I'm sure you weren't trying to compare Ubuntu's free support with SuSe's paid support, that's unpossible!
There's plenty of keyboards that you can buy that don't have a caps lock key on them. What's the point of this stupid crusade other than to annoy those of us that do use caps lock on occasion?
Probably because you have a horrible grasp of statistics concepts.

Every bicycle speed record currently held was taken with a recumbent.
You forgot to mention that the speed records that you mention are limited to mostly flat land, or in the words of the IHPVA, "one of the straightest, flattest, and smoothest surfaces in the world."
I'm pretty sure the number of black people who are still alive that have been (or still are unfortunately) slaves to a white person are very small nowadays. Even their children who have heard first hand accounts are probably low in numbers as well.
Many of the long haul flights (transatlantic/pacific) have a laptop power plug for approximately every 3-5 seats in coach class nowadays. Especially in the non-US owned airlines.
You made a few mistakes in your post so I'm fixing them for you.

I work at an EMail marketing company (no, not spam) and we have had our servers placed on blacklists multiple times... you know why?
I drain the life blood of the internet at a Spam farm and we have had our spambots placed on blacklists multiple times because the tripe we send out is flat out spam.
People who are competetors to our clients signup a spamtrap email to their lists, getting our mailserver blacklisted for sending mail to an address -- even though the mail is a "are you sure you wanna subscribe?" message?
People who receive our spam report it to RBLs and our spambots get blocked even though our spam has circular links which verify e-mails of the people that we spam.
Your casual attitude toward "oh well, shouldn't have sent email to $secretspamtrap" without telling us *what* email or giving us details on how to avoid it in the future (like maybe adding your spamtrap domains to our lists that trigger "oh no, spammer" in our checks), you end up making RBLs more useless, and my job harder.
You are making my life as a spammer more difficult than those web pages that said that I could make $5000/month from home said it would be. Please stop. We both know you want to buy Cialis, Viagra and refinance your mortgage so just click on the links already. Sheesh.

There ya go, fixed your post right up. No need to thank me.
So why should an entire class get delayed while a professor has to explain a concept that a single student should have learned in a previous class (taught by a different professor) but didn't bother to?
You think a 2% property tax is bogus? I guess it would sound bogus if you've never had to pay property taxes before. Personally, my property taxes are at about 1.5%
I guess you didn't bother to watch the videos then huh?
I don't give a rats ass about whizzbang whoop-de-doos that make the desktop look neat. I'm interested in performance and from what I've seen of xgl, it's snappier than just about any modern X desktop. No stuttering when moving windows around or changing to a new desktop. That's what I'm interested in and xgl provides just that. I'm excited about it.
Just another case of somebody not RTFA or, more appropriately, not Watching The F'ing Videos.
You can (and many people have) volunteer to help the individual hospitals deal with the deliveries. Also, children's hospitals are very used to getting large quantities of toys delivered since there are quite a few charities that do this sort of thing.

NEWSFLASH: 3d video card company makes hardware for high end gaming machines, not business desktops. Details at 11.
Stop being so vain in thinking that every new piece of hardware posted on slashdot should be targeted at your market.
This is pretty informative. It could have been useful if it was posted yesterday so people could have had time to read it before voting.

It'll be a very interesting "arms race" indeed.
I'll buy the damn cat if you'd just stop adversiting on slashdot every month!
Yes! All none of them!
Riiiight.. because the heating/cooling cycles of electronic equipment being turned on and off repeatedly is *much* better for it.
At least try to come up with a valid reason to not use it.

Huh? That article doesn't mention Bush once. What in the world are you talking about?

You post on Slashdot, do you really think that a "Get Laid, Get Paid" system will net you any money at all?
It's a shame that the people doing distributed movie rendering and drug discovery aren't doing "real world problems" as you call them.

I don't know about you but Norton's software is certainly malicious from my perspective.

Anchors.
The fatality line of motherboards from Abit comes to mind.

No, there's not.
Do a search on slashdot for previous reports of both Nvidia and ATI doing just this.
