"either for lack of direction or lack of a real commitment to making it work"

Stick your head into a pool. Can you see the water?

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but this can't be the most exciting thing the MIT Media Lab is working on.

Because you know, brand new technologies are dirt cheap. Nobody does any R&D, they just pull it out of their ass.

I'm guessing your iPod never had a HD crash, then? I lost my original 2nd gen iPod to that twice (edit: within two years).

In a datacenter, which is where my server is :D

Steve Mann is my idol. I leave this picture of a device made by one of his co-conspirators:

I assume you're talking about the brain-computer interface?

Keep in mind DSL is asynchronous. For servers, uplink is usually more important the downlink. Most DSL plans in my area are 1 Mbps up.

Psh they stole it from KHTML anyway.

I want this for me, but less bulky.

I'm guessing their gunning down of the alligator was not accidental.

Actually, you can just use a bunch of high-powered LEDs to blind someone (basically a really bright hand-held flashlight). My dad's company makes one of those things for law enforcement.

This might sound insensitive to all the dead people in the plane crash, but those vehicles aren't cheap either. A lot more that 11k at least.

That's it?
