I believe most people started using IE because it was an integral part of the operating system. At least I know that's why I did. Why wait all those precious seconds openning up another browser when you have one already running in the background?
Let's teach people about tech so they don't ask irritating questions and make the same mistakes.
Why stop there, though? Let's teach people about economics so there are no more money problems. Then we should teach them how to drive so they don't have auto accidents. Perhaps we could teach them about copyright law so there is no more maf-IAA... etc. Point being that educating the general populace and getting them to act on their newfound knowledge is usually easier said than done.
Police are supposed to be intimidating to anyone who is disturbing or would disturb the public peace. Any other intimidation they create [should be] unintentional.
AFAIK the gpg one would be hard because it requires a private key that wouldn't be readily available, but you're right. No system is perfectly secure. This was probably a good example of security through obscurity, or at least, lazy attacker-ity.
You're right. If it didn't turn into heat we'd get it back out. The difference here is that atm, most of it does what it was supposed to do before turning into heat whereas with a 50% efficient power transmission scheme half of it would turn into heat before doing anything and the rest would be turned into heat running the sensor, so we'd be putting around twice as much power, and thus heat, into the tank.
Perhaps you are privy to some ultra-sophisticated bleeding-edge wireless technology I was unaware of (in which case please share), but on most home networks I connect to the choke point is the way the bandwidth slowly atrophies and then I have to reconnect every five minutes or so.
Make some sort of selective-white-noise headphones that cancel out only advertisements.
Wear a large-brimmed sound-absorbant hat to shield you from speakers seven stories up, but not the soundsbusses prowling the street for pedestrians to hit.
Pay a neighborhood kid to take out the speakers with a pellet gun.
File a complaint and wait for the system to do its job.
Get hit by a bus and sue. Then watch the system do what it does best.
TFA says the receiver end of the circuit's 40-50% efficient. That means half of whatever power you're sending into the fuel tank ends up as heat. Depending upon how well the chip's cooled, that might be enough.
If you're really too lily-livered to just turn the machine off when you're alseep/with the kids/can't be arsed just say the darn this was broken/malfunctionning and get back to it when you can.
They should make an air-cruise-ship. I'd gladly pay twice the price to have four times the room, four times the window area, and less than one fourth the noise, even if it did take four times the time. Getting there should be half the fun, after all.
...If Parallels and VMware can make the desktop sharing between Mac OS X and Windows easy, why can't Microsoft make it easy between Win9X/NT/XP and Vista easy? Because they don't want to. It's so much more profitable to just force people to buy more licenses.
.. which we have on some of the older highways in NY, CN, and NJ. Hopefully, sometime soon, the adminstrators of these traffic lights will learn about setups that can guage the feasibility of a merge and operate accordingly.
Well, he sort've has a point. Nowadays people in the western world are more likely to breed if they're predisposed to being frail, pale, and not overtly clever. One could argue that's a selective pressure away from adaptability.
In addition:
Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

I'd settle for a good training course. Most actual pilots (no offense guys) don't have much more than that and seem to do well enough.

You can also forget about ever boarding a commercial airline.

It's not so much that we care as that they're saying what's on everybody's mind. Suddenoutbreakofcommonsense.
That was actually kinda tongue-in-cheek. Just so everyone knows I'm not that much of a jerk.

DO WANT!!
Who cares what this multinational brat's view of the OLPC is? I want to see my view of the OLPC. Hurry and ship me my give-one-get-one already!

"There is no spoon," comes to mind.
I find that obscene because it's basically turning, "food" into, "fuel" in a far less efficient manner than corn-derived ethanol.

Is there a way to sell upgrades without, "dissing" your previous product? On the other hand, this is a great way to justify not fixing known bugs.
