In response to your noise comment, have you ever worked in an office... Say one with computers? It takes shutting them all off, or wearing noise cancellation headphones (which are cool as hell BTW) to realize how noisy it is around you. Even at home if you run your computers all the time, everything is making noise.
I don't think it's the constant stuff (like computer fans) that's the big problem, but when it changes to something more irritating, or even different. We can get used to the fans.
Multiply the noise by 100 like in a computer lab, and then even the small amount of noise each machine makes combines with the rest until you cannot even hear someone talk next to you...
Plus I agree with the reply above... Rural areas are supposed to be quiet, while no one expects the city to be quiet.
The actual people in the planes are dead, but there is no way the person or persons who orchestrated this are dead. This was not some random act, but something that took months or years of planning to pull off. The person(s) responsible are still out there.
It's a nice thought, but I don't think it would work past the 3rd CD. If you are coming in every day to return the same CD, the sales clerks are going to start remembering you and pretty soon the manager is involved. They take your "broken" CD over to the shelves of CD players and pop it in a random CD-audio play and amazingly your broken CD works. Now the manager is telling you that it must be your CD player that is broken.
You can insist that everything else you own works great on it, but alas, he's shown you the one in your hand works perfectly, so it _MUST_ be your CD player that is to blame. Trying to explain anything about how a CD-ROM drive is different than a Disc Man to a mega-chain manager is a futile attempt at best.
Plus there's the whole problem with having to waste a part of every day to drive to the store and wait in the lines to explain that once again your CD doesn't work.
If there is no Outlook, SirCam will scan your browser cache and grab email addresses from the web pages you have visited. That's why web masters are getting hit so much more than most people, because their email address is all over their webpage.
SirCam also has its own SMTP server meaning it can send mail without the help of Outlook.
This is not just an Outlook issue, it is a stupid users who open unsolicited attachments without virus scanning them problem.
Any windows email client that allows the user to open email from within the client is just as vulerable as Outlook.
There are plenty of other people with cancer in the world, whom I'm sure would give a cancer cell sample for free if it would contribute to finding a cure.
As one of these people, I would be happy to know that my right nut was being used to research a cure for cancer. I wonder if the cells need to be of a certain type of cancer (ie, seminoma, non-seminoma, terratoma, etc.) to be HeLa cells.
The first time I played Civ it was at a friend's house who really didn't have an idea about the big picture. He knew how to move stuff around and do battle, but no idea about the technology tree.
We didn't understand that pottery or ceremonial burial were important and required for a lot of the higher level technologies. We got to the mid 1800s without even having a boat.
I thought it was a stupid game until he finally showed me the technology map. Then everything made sense. Certain low-level technologies were then given priority to make it back on track for the cooler military and civil techs.
Once this was discovered, it was off to the software store for my own copy and then hour after hour of play time.... And then Master of Orion caught my attention... But that's another story.
Here's some fun ask.com queries from this morning:

Did Robert Blake kill his wife?
Where can I find a date?
Please enter the type of pictures you would like to see: Jesus Crucifixtion.
Where can I find the online game site Games.com?

Where can I learn how to hunt for ghosts?

The article says there are 16 projectors. You don't need a video card that can go up to 5120*4096. One that will drive the projector at 1600x1200 is sufficient.
For a single frame of video at 5120*4096 at 24 bit color, you'd need 60 MB of memory. That doesn't include anything like Z-buffering, or double or triple buffering, so that's one reason why you don't see the GeForce3 running at that resolution.
The internet is a free (or was anyway) forum where readers / users / clients could choose the information they did or did not want to receive. People could vote with their feet. Popular and interesting sites would be visited frequently. Dull, rarely updated sites would not.
I've found that it is a lot easier to maneuver the mouse using your hands, rather than your feet... Just kidding.. Trying to lighten the tone a bit around here.

Just wondering, but if we get bits from binary digits wouldn't the abbreviation for trinary digits be tits?
Just a thought...

Walking and chewing gum isn't a problem. It's talking and chewing gum that usually ends up with me having a sore tongue.

Rent a porta-potty. Make all personal poos in the porta-potty.
...seeing as I still can't actually blast my enemies with white hot energy emanating from my hands in real life :-)
You just need to practice more.

Thank you for pointing this out. _Most_ games released today would be laughed into the bargain bin if they used the quake engine.
Thats like me going out and patenting jacking off left handed instead of right handed.
I'm pretty sure there's gonna' be prior art on that one.

How about just hyphenating it to:
kill-us-traitor
When skin costs $1.99 to replace that will probably signal the end of almost all showering...
Exactly!!
So these happy little bacteria living in the crotch of my pants will now be eating sweat and excreting what? More stinking bacteria crap!
Just because something will happily eat stinky crap, doesn't mean their crap won't stink.
Or rather, Kill-Us-Traitor?

The real question is why would you want to take your wife out to see Charlie's Angels?
How will this stuff be used in the porn industry... You know it will be, but how, and when?
Or can I staple it to my wall? I could have changing wallpaper... And not any of this desktop wall paper nonsense... Actual changing wallpaper...
...Uh-oh, parents stopping by, better change the wallpaper from Jenna Jameson to, um... star trek...

I guess now we get to see a captain who gets to wear a dress in at least half the episodes.
No, wait, how about if in each episode the captain takes over a crew member's body and solves a serious life changing problem on behalf of them.
Oooh, and holograms. More holograms. You could have an EMH, and Bakula's help holo.
Hey, and we'd never know when they'd make it home.
