As densities increase..
You gotta get.. perpendicular.

Plan for the eventual removal as well
Relevant PSA: http://gprime.net/video.php/tattooremover
Hopefully you'll get something that stands the test of time.I like the guy with the 3-line PERL strong-encryption routine with the warning that it made the bearer an ITAR-controlled export-restricted munition.
I'm not really interested in any form of body mod, but if I had to get something, I'd implant some sort of subcutaneous RF device that could be programmed to do things.

LOL, Limewire!
Seriously, is Limewire even relevant anymore?

Re:An In-Depth Look At Seagate's 1.5TB Barracuda:That's because they use perpendicular recoding technology. Other drives with classic, lower-density recording look like this:

Re:It's an economic problem in the US.Uranium fission is neither clean (even with reprocessing, there's still large amounts of waste that we don't know how to safely store long term, as well as the damage done in uranium mining),
Gross exaggeration. With reprocessing, where virtually all of the high level (and usable) fuel can be recovered, the remaining waste to be disposed of pales in comparison to the amount of radioactive heavy metals we dump into the air every year with coal plants. And here we can keep it all in one place.
safe (not only are the security and profileration issues are huge, but the widely touted "pebble bed" reactor design hass proven much less safe than its proponents claim),
As security and proliferation touch on current politics, let us set those aside for a later part of this discussion. As far as Pebble Bed reactors are concern, again this is a gross exaggeration. See the Wikipedia section on Pebble Bed criticism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble_bed_reactor#Cr iticisms_of_the_reactor_design
A jammed feeder tube is a mechanical problem, relatively easily solved with proper design. The pebbles are unsuitable for diverting to weapons use. A gas-cooled reactor inside of a concrete shell (like this wall: http://gprime.net/video.php/planevsconcretewall) is not top on my list of "things likely to break". Perhaps you would reveal in what way they have been proven to be much less safe?
nor plentiful (with heavy use, there's only a century or two's worth) I challange this as a flat out lie. With reprocessing and proper breeder procedures, we have an estimated 100,000 years of fission power available to us. Even with an error so gross that the real figure is 1/10th of that, I am perfectly willing to say that 10,000 years of nuclear fission power is a pretty damn good intermediary until we find something better, such as fusion which you suggest next.
http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/progress/nuclea r-faq.html http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~blc/
Rather than wasting time on building uranium fission plants as a stopgap, we should do the job right and be investigating fusion (including using that big fusion reactor in the sky) and thorium spallation.
We have plenty of good reason to switch off coal, oil, ethanol, CARBON based fuels NOW. Not when the research is completed on something better. NOW. Fusion is HARD, we don't have it yet. Ecologically friendly, efficient solar cells are fine and dandy except for when the sun don't shine, and we don't have them yet. With fission, we have the technology to implement it today, stop carbon emissions today, stop coal plants from dumping radioactive heavy metals into the air TODAY. We can do more than one thing at one time, so why shouldn't we put nuclear energy in place while we research something even better. But holding out forever for the perfect energy source leaves us highly vulnerable in the meantime.

Pentagon crash analysis
For those interested, here is an extremely cogent flash clip analyzing the suspicious events revolving around the supposed crash of Flight 77 at the Pentagon. At one point it closely analyzes the Pentagon's camera video. The plane in the first frame of the video looks nothing like an 80 ton 757.

Re:I wonder
Well, it would wreck the plane, and depending on the containment structure around the guts of the thing, it might damage the plant into unusable status. The hot gas inside might escape and turn in to cool gas. Some people might lose their lights and their ice cream might melt. Mostly, it would wreck the plane.

Programming of any sort of value is most certainly an artform
Well, at least, that is what i think of it as. Anyone can write code. Writing code well and being innovative is an art.

Re:Augmented reality...
IMO, not as impressive as a video I saw, where there was a desk that had virtual (i.e. you could put your hand through them) objects moving around and interacting with some real objects (a plug outlet). Also had a guy turning his mic into a rose. I forget the link.
The company is Total Immersion. The video you're talking about can be seen here.

"Star Trekkin"
They then went on to comment: "We're also gonna re-do the opening title sequence," Stone revealed. "Record a new theme -- something bombastic, action-oriented. Y'know, something that isn't, like, totally gay.""
I vote for "Star Trekkin" by The Firm as the new theme song. -
