    Of course, why are you looking up breast cancer on a flight anyway? (Just one example)

    IANAPP, but being unable to measure the velocity and position of anything seems logical. You can't measure velocity without witnessing a change of position, and you can't measure position while an object is in motion.

    Maybe in this wonderful world of Quantum Mechanics logic doesn't apply in the same way, but hey, being able to measure both makes no sense to me whatsoever.

    Please don't make me bring out the cars...

    I hate to be a pedant, but it was the keyboard which worked. The mouse obviously couldn't understand the dialect.

    Much like the rest of the English speaking world, really.

    They turn it off because Windows Update either:
    1. Popping up a bubble every 5 minutes telling you to restart your computer.
    2. Popping up a windowevery 5 minutes telling you to restart your computer.
    3. Restarting your computer automatically, without asking permission, and informing you afterwards.

    When you've gone to make some coffee and you come back to the message "An important update required a restart of your computer." the first question you ask is "Where did my work go?" The second question is "How do I stop that happening again?"

    There are studies? I thought the media just published wild conjecture and speculation which is quickly dismissed by any Judge of having influence (scroll to "Publicised Incidents"). Surely if there had been any such studies, they'd have been cited in court as evidence for either prosecution or defence?

    Usually, and quite sadly, the distinguishing feature is that the bot has better typing skills.

    Only because the guy who programmed it was a good typist.

    No. You need to do all of that, but not do anything which links you to your friends. Your super-anon account which you've never revealed details about is still vulnerable to a "six degrees of separation" type of attack.

    - Super-anon guy has Bobby, Jim, and Sandra on his facebook friends and he's got Bobby, Jim, and Jessica on his MySpace
    - Logically, Bobby and Jim must know each other, and therefore they both must know Super-anon guy.
    - Bobby and Jim have a lot of pictures on Facebook with a guy tagged "Andy" who doesn't have a profile. All the other tagged people are on Facebook.
    - Chances are, Andrew is Super-anon guy.
