Also, the UI is sometimes important. Though UI may be nice for eyecandy, eyecandy is not nearly as important as the other things a UI includes: mainly efficiency and cleanliness.
Wrong. There are "stories" about kidnapping of children, but you don't let your children play outside when the kidnapper is on your lawn. There are "stories" of serial killers, but you don't walk with one.
The government is a single entity. And it, as one entity, is willing to search your laptop.
When one person murders, not all people murder. But when the government search a laptop, the entire government is willing to search a laptop.
Most games, especially those that strive for reality, give you almost no freedom. You like Crysis because it gives you the illusion that you have freedom. But the ways that you can accomplish a goal is limited by the developer to a few paths. It is impossible for you to do anything that the developer has not thought about because then it would not programmed in the game.
Crysis is like a very beautiful version of tic tac toe. There are limited moves that you can make, heck, I can list them all. You can move, you can shoot, and you can look. The developer works hard to program in other little things like punch through wall, but these little solutions to the puzzles must be hard-coded in so you are doing everything the developer expects you to do, and these little solutions are far from strategy-intensive.
If you want real freedom, try chess or one of the games where the game play is not hard-coded in. These games have a very small number of rules that do not limit your freedom.
Keep in mind that this is in relative terms. Real freedom to us may not be freedom to an alien with brainpower thousands of times more powerful than ours. But to us, chess allows freedom.
People do not laugh at _people_ with problems. They laugh at the _problems_. The problems are ideas that stand by themselves that are sometimes humorous. That said, these disagree mail have no humor in them, which probably is why you do not consider yourself a maladjusted person.

I always thought of free speech as being allowed to present any idea you may have. There are limitations to how you may present an idea, but I believe it is always possible to present an idea within such limitations.
If the girl wanted to present the idea that she does not like the principal, she is more than welcome to. But there is a limit to how she may present such an idea; this is where the libel and slander stuff come in. However, she was still allowed to present her idea, just not in the way she did.
What if Google actually wants to harness the power from the waves? It isn't possible that anything offshore can be in good intention? There aren't much waves inland.
Before someone leaves for vacation, they can create a list of twenty or so personal questions (like who is your 7th grade teacher?). The account can somehow store the information so that each time someone tries to log into a username, they have to know the answer to a personal question. Each time someone tries to log on, the displayed question can be the next one on the list. Keyloggers may know your password, but they do not know the name of your first pet. And they have only one chance to guess right to each question. This feature shouldn't be too hard to make if you have your own server....
Or, if you're especially good on those IQ tests, you can just make one of those your password and only let people with IQ's higher than a certain number (ie 200) in. xd There are plenty of ways to recognize someone without seeing if they know a secret series of letters.
Notice how Columbus did not ask to go to Mars. Columbus wanted wealth, but sadly, the Martians do not come equipped with gold.
The mars rovers are doing fine. They do not need to come back to earth, and they can take measurements for far longer than a human.

Cool. Where?

But it's so fun to outsmart the system and be in control.
Personally, the people who truly need these technologies are the people who I hope get caught. They sound suspicious.
On the other hand, it is an invasion of privacy. :(
If there's a large enough sample size, substantial deviations from 0 can occur.
Static electricity doesn't sound right however. But it'd be the first excuse I would think of if I had no clue about electrical engineering.

and it's accurate to 3 decimal places!
