Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Everyone rushes to the explanation of the DAC, skipping right past the analog signal converter found in every sound system. The speakers themselves. Sure the DAC rounds it all out, but then anything left (if any) is then pushed through a magnet and cone that then turns the recording into sound waves. Sound WAVES not sound STEPS.

I think this film was designed to make you want to go dig out your copy of 2001 and watch it. And in that, it succeeded.

Being a 21%er I did get to enjoy the film.

Duck around the corner. Then thud thud thud, you are dead anyway. And this is the "fixed" code. This article suggests another fix; don't buy the game. I just hope this new fix works better than the prior ones. LOL.

Yet another answer for "Why is my hard drive going constantly?"

Siegel is of course right because he can predict the effect of unexpected future inventions, and Kurzweil cannot. Oh wait...

So, all of those fancy gestures they make in anime to make their powers work is just them communicating with their weapons on a wi-fi network?

True, because most Democrats not liberal. They are fascists.

1) Some scientists believe there in NO Global warming.
2) Most scientists believe Global Warming is happening.
3) Among those, probably most believe that Man contributes to this warming.
4) Among those, even fewer believe than Man contributes a lot to global warming.
5) Many of that group believe Mans contribution is going to result in a catastrophe.

What I hear from these groups is:
1) The science is not completed. We need further study.
2) The science is not completed. We need further study.
3) The science is not completed. We need further study.
4) The science is not completed. We need further study. Start to become concerned and consider radical changes.
5) The science is complete. Panic. The other scientists are hacks, don't believe them. Radical changes NOW!

Who am I supposed to believe here?

All of the future cars in shows from the Jetsons to Bladerunner have made some cool "futuristic" sound. I always thought it was silly. I was wrong. Because apparently, in the future, cars will be required to made "futuristic" sounds.. Who would have guessed?

Who are the ad wizards that came up with this idea?

Your bicycle, feet, and mass transit use the roads. AFAIK no mass transit system in America, and only a few in the world, makes a profit. So my tax dollars are subsidizing your ride on said mass transit. Kinda break even I would say, you pay for my car usage of the road, I pay for your bus.

Seriously, the same folks that worry so about Orwellian 1984 style government have brought us the Nanny State. Fools can't even see that it is the same thing, and they created it. They sit here today supporting it, while in the same breath bemoaning that the conservatives want to control our lives. And since we obviously don't want that, vote for our Nanny State.

HELLO!

Thanks for your understanding. It was an exercise in What If? Not statement of how things are. Some people can't take a joke.

What if evey sci-fi concept was used as prior art? I bet most of the patents would never get issued.

What if?
