About Fucking Time. I was printing wirelessly off my Palm Pilot 15 years ago.

At least it wasn't kitty porn.

It wouldn't make much sense pushing to ban an illegal product, now would it?

Except that most slashdotters already cool their systems with liquid nitrogen, or would love the excuse to make it so.

A screwdriver will work. It's even cross-platform.

Not unless the sun is sending us entangled particles and measuring them just the right way at just the right time.

Knowing objective-c isn't going to do any good if there isn't a program on the tablet to compile it.

And is it really worth porting all your favorite FOSS programs to objective-c just to have them on the iSlate anyway?

I would like to point out that in both of these cases, the subjects in question were under the influence of drugs, and presumably they would have both acted differently sober (and it appears that both of those situations were caused by the drugs in the first place). Watts was, presumably, not under any such effects.

I won't be switching DNS servers until/unless I notice a problem with my ISP's, but if I do need to switch, or even just test my internet configuration, I'll probably use Google's servers because they have addresses I can memorize: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

As I understand your post, you're saying that animals domesticated solely for food will (mostly) die out if this lab meat process goes ahead. I think PETA and others who refuse to eat meat based on the common mistreatment of factory farm animals ("Ethical vegetarians") would say that it's better for these species not to exist than to be mistreated in factory farms. They might take issue with how we get there (if e.g. we just slaughtered all food animals, or turned them loose, etc.), but I think they would actually prefer extinction over "torture" for animals.

I must disagree with you there. AT&T is/should be a neutral service provider. IPhone users pay $30 every month for *unlimited* data bandwidth. That ought to mean, although in practice providers never acknowledge and rarely accept it, that the user can use as much bandwidth as they need/want/can doing whatever they want whenever they want (and as such a neutral carrier, the provider need not even ensure that such activity is legal).

As a sidenote, does anyone know what this app does that isn't available through the regular Google voice service and safari anyway? I don't think bandwidth should come into this at all, should it?

Although I do think pagers are a better choice, I feel compelled to point out that one can (and some hospitals do) hand off an on-call cell phone too.
