Somewhat. Though I was imagining coercion, rather than murder when I added the bit about a camera. Still, wouldn't a detached (and partially drained) eye fail a retinal scan? I can't imagine that empty blood vessels would look the same. I would suggest using the camera for facial recognition as well, but I'm sure someone will suggest decapitation.
Hell, you don't even need that much with finger/voiceprints. The only thing I'd be apt to trust is a retinal scan. (And only with a camera nearby for later verification.)
Of course it's going away! On the bright side, it'll make the planet plenty warm in the process. Between the light from the sun, the air/water currents and the heat in this planet, there's a ton of energy just going to waste. We have all of these 'clean' energy sources, and you want to pick one?
I concur. I still frequently use several machines with 800MHz P3s and have absolutely no problems, save for a few Flash-stuffed pages. Hell, I still warm my legs with a P133 almost daily. Also, I don't see much of a problem with the bulk requirement; one could probably make a pretty penny reselling these as cheap, throwaway boxes (in a brick-n'-mortar store, not eBay). This is clearly targeted at schools, businesses and retail outlets. It would probably be better to just pick up a used P4 notebook for ~$50 if you're willing to settle for 400MHz/128MB and 1GB of storage.
Maybe they were trying to set a precedent, rather than simply slapping a ticket scalper. Though, I doubt a default judgment carries much influence. Either way, it looks like I need to find an alternative eBay alternative.
When push comes to shove, I have a feeling public opinion might be slightly more in favor of the terraforming.
Overpopulation is a fairly good reason to terraform, but it just seems silly to do so because Earth has become somewhat more hostile. Why not just give Earth a little push, rather than re-inventing the...Earth?
I don't know about that. Killing a mass of unspecified cells sounds a lot better than potentially deforming someone for life. I'm quite in favor of improving humans, but until genetic engineering can be done with absolute certainty, there's a lot of reason to argue against it.

Save it?
And who, pray tell, is viewing said ads?
+1, Underrated doesn't show up in meta-moderation and doesn't go devaluing any adjectives. That said, karma's just a silly number.
...everyone has laser-proof missiles?
It seems more like saying "My dead walrus runs faster than your rusty car".
Not to mention the inherently unsafe strap-on design.
And their notoriously unreliable vibrators.

Wouldn't know. I haven't seen one.

Thanks for clearing that up somewhat. Still, it sounds a lot better than the 'wait for Congress' picture the AC painted.
253 billion of them, apparently. (I suppose that's what I get for not proofreading.)
Odd. I was under the impression that the USPTO had some degree of control over the USPTO.
Odd. I remember entertaining myself with IR LEDs just a few years ago. I couldn't see them, but they lit up quite nicely in the viewfinder.
With a population of ~1.3 billion, 253 billion people online is just terrible.
:o! Can I be Twitter, too?

I wouldn't bother. The copy protection can be a real pain in the ass.
Speaking of the obvious thought of porn, I'm surprised magazines haven't tried using stereoscopic pictures.
Whenever I feel stupid, I'll make sure to picture myself staring at a monitor with my eyes crossed and my hand down my pants.
What about stereoscopic games and movies? I mean, I don't have shutter glasses, but I have several widescreen LCDs that could easily fit two images.

It's like a long chain of installations and executions without asking permission to the user. Everything's broken.
You are coming to a sad realization. Cancel or Allow?
ME TOO!

Because if it's one thing humans do better than machines, it's math.
