While I don't want 'PiKAchu. PIKA!" every time I send a pokemon out into battle, I wouldn't mind if they updated the older (especially first 150)'s cries so they sound as nice as the DS generation's. Bored, have pokemon, want to compare? Catch a Kriketot or a Chingling and then go and find just about any of the first 150.

Chairbot Walks You Around While You Sit 241

Posted by samzenpus from the stop-using-your-legs-like-a-sucker dept.
Gary writes "What do you get when you combine a robot and a chair? The Hubo FX-1 chairbot, of course. In what is perhaps my favorite robot design yet, this giant chair with legs looks like it came out of some ridiculous 80's sci-fi movie or something, but it's very, very real. HUBO FX-1 is two meters in height, and weighs 150 kg. The person sitting can control the robot easily using the built in joystick. Each ankle has a 3-axis force/torque sensor which measures the normal force and 2 moments. Each foot has an inclination sensor which measures the angle of the slope. Also, the rate gyro and the inclination sensor of the body allow the device to stabilize itself."

Submission + - RHEL 5 - from the new, more open Red Hat

Submitted by Susie D
Susie D writes: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is released today, and Linux Format has an in-depth first look (with screenshots aplenty). With RHEL 5, Red Hat aims to become even more 'open', by using a shorter and clearer SLA, improving community involvement through its Knowledge Base, and prodiving the new Red Hat Exchange. But what you really want to know is, yes, it does include XGL for fancy 3D desktop effects...

Anonymous Coward writes: "Researchers in England are attempting to build a desktop computer that runs on light rather than electronics. A $1.6 million research project starting in June at the University of Bath is focused on developing attosecond technology, which refers to continuously emitting light pulses that last just a billion-billionth of a second. http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/1245 1"

Privacy

Submission + - Do you need to surf anonymously?

Submitted by
Anonymous Coward
Anonymous Coward writes: "Computerworld has an article titled How to surf anonymously without a trace, but even more interesting are the reader comments, where a debate is going on about whether or not surfers should be concerned about their privacy. Some say only "bad" people need to worry, while others say Big Brother could use the details available in your surfing history to gather all kinds of information that could lead to further erosions of privacy and personal rights."
