not to mention commas or exclamation marks. sentences really are the way to go dudes

I use sentences for all of my passwords. I have in effect a 20+ character password which is just as easy to remember as a word. I throw in a number in replace of a word or letter and bam - i have an alphanumeric 20+ character password which is extremely easy to remember.

except every finger printer scanner known to man-kind can be fooled using everyday kitchen objects. wear a glove and shake someone's hand. put superglue vapour onto the glove. peel off. you have a print. not warm or moist? easy. lick it and put it over your finger. even the smartest ones which read your pulse, moisture and geometry will be fooled by that. fingerprints == next to useless.

yeah exactly. the idea here isn't that we go 'yay we've got a whole lot of science books for free'... the idea here is that we go 'yay' because we can see the ins & outs of how science has been performed when influencing government decisions.

Gold.

Actually dude. People -do- complain about different OS on desktop Vs phones. People are tired of pointless segregation between computing platforms. Also sick of silly excuses for new -platforms- when all that need be different is the GUI. Computers are smart enough to run the same software on different hardware and fast. It is not 1995. It is 2010, and we are sick of that shit.
Chrome OS is a thin client. What benefit does it have which you can't get from Android or another linux system, hardwired to use remote applications & storage?

* Fast boot: Linux can do that. Or Linux on ARM can standby for days.
* Cloud storage: Any OS can do that. Mount home drive over the network
* Instant resume of applications on another computer if computer is destroyed: Linux or any other system can do that. Its called terminal services, SSH, VNC, NX, Citrix, you name it.
* Low hardware requirements: Pfft, please. We have all seen linux running on next to no resources
* Fast: Says who?

I rest my case. Chrome OS has no real unique value. To be honest, Googles not even the first to try this approach. Look up 'web desktop' on google. There's plenty of sites that give you applications to use from a desktop-like GUI made out of html. Rig to your home page, done. Bam. Chrome OS. Pointless.

STEP 1: Boot loader STEP 2: Micro linux kernel with network, display, keyboard, mouse, and network drivers. STEP 3: (nx client OR vnc client OR Terminal client, or web browser) rigged as primary graphical environment on top of X. STEP 4: Call it (thin client OR chrome os) STEP 5: ??? STEP 6: Profit Seriously does anyone else see Chrome OS as nothing but a thin client? Wtf is the point in this silly system?

its a game where people are shooting each other in the face. if someone is going around shooting people in the face and then sees a swastika on their back, and thinks 'that is SO wrong!' then I think they have their head in their ass.

somebody has to be the bad guy. its a war game. hell, what about wolfenstein enemy territory? its always axis versus allies.

the only person to cause any kind of conflict is the admin who is being pedantic about a logo on the player model of someone who is there to be shot at. shouldn't it be encouraged? lots of people would want to shoot nazis.

pathetic.

Im not American. The Queen is famous, but that means nothing with regards to why we should care. I am also pondering why a monarch even needs to exist today.

best post ever

You're absolutely correct.

what on earth is different about this from say..

a augmented reality headset? What exactly is new about this? With a motion controller headset, the thing is basically strapped to your eyes. The only difference here is that the video output is piped to a computer display somewhere else..which I doubt they are the first to do.

zing!! :)

this isnt troll. its a legitimate query: why does this belong on slashdot? and secondly, who here cares about the queen of england?
