This has already been worked out. It has a tremendous advantage, too: it would be more difficult for a company or government to either shut it down or personally identify individual users.
You mean, it's not possible to jam the 2.4GHz bandwidth airspace for the purpose of shutting it down?
One-piece rockets landing on the moon (no air bags required), artificial gravity, a pulley system, fully-transparent helmets, separate rooms for dining, storage, and even extra storage space for, um, "books". And oh yeah, tiny 2-seater helicopters that land and take off in the middle of the road.
You mean, mind reading is all wireless now? What protocols are they using? I've searched Wikipedia and came up nothing. (Thoughts of certification and mesh networking running in my mind.)
I think the new version of Windows - 3.1, I think - has an utility called "Macro Recorder". Can someone get a copy and let us know? See if we can automate these processes using the Windows 3.1 Macro Recorder?
For the print and scan portion, maybe connect a motor to the serial port, and write some software to drive the process?
... pump...to huge energies before banging them together... faster and faster, as smoothly and tightly as possible... hardon smoothly entering... greater, hotter energies...
I feel strangely aroused...
... spray matter in all directions...
Aahhhhhhhh!

All the previous reports that I've been reading, must have had the wrong spelling!
When every government balance sheet is dripping red, why are we doing this again ?
You do realize USA spends more money per month, just to fund the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, compared to the entire cost of building the LHC over a decade, right?
Also, the physics/astronomy community benefits greatly from the success of LHC, and the worldwide scientific community as a whole also benefits. Now, who benefits from the wars?
This is 42 kilodays, or 114 years. You can do it, if you start young enough and live long enough.
This sounds exactly like the savings plan offered by my local bank, with a massive 0.00001% interest rate compounded. Hooray to financial freedom within 114 years!
I'm so embarrassed after reading your reply initially, your sentence-by-sentence replies to my snips, that... well, I just came back to read it the 2nd time, after all my embarrassment have died down.
I don't think they actually suck. I think they are simply pressurized to produce results in the quickest time possible. I think part of the blame goes to the commissioning clients.
And part of the blame goes to the "simple is best" mentality in some schools of thought. Simplicity is NOT elegance.
Also, opinion is NOT fact.
Most programmers have zero knowledge of user permissions or fast user switching, and see nothing wrong with writing their application data in the Program Files folder.
Surprisingly, I see Cobian Backup, Avast! antivirus, and some other software being rather multi-user aware. Cobian v8 is open source, Avast! Home is freeware. These little attention to details impressed me a lot.
Most programmers never, ever read the API documentation.
Then what do they rely on? Their IDE's ability to suggest methods and properties when they type?
And by the way what is it with you Americans that everything linked to China is automatically considered evil these days?
Because of the American media's influence?
China = evil Chinese hackers = threat to Americans China's ambition = aiming to become superpower China's plans = to have power to control critical American systems
That sort of thing. Not that NSA wouldn't have done the same.
You guys have to forgive Rob... he's just started learning Perl. Maybe he needs more coding experience! Give him some time, he'll get around to migrating our Chips & Dips stories eventually.
Don't forget guys, we celebrate our 222nd Independence Day in 2 weeks!
My grandchildren's grandchildren may never have to even see a "typewriter style keyboard" outside a museum, holo-vid, or historical RPG.
Will future people get to experience a "virtual cybersex" session using a screen and a keyboard? In the museum's fully interactive holo-vid, of course.
"Ewwww, people in the past have to type using keyboards? What's the fun in that?"
Ah... I still relish my memories in MajorBBS' "Teleconference" feature. Chatting with multiple girls at once!

Don't feel sad. I read the humor and intention-at-humor in your post. Ignore those others who are humor-impaired. Happy Halloween!
My first thought was, what if he needs to carry a spare hard disk for backing up user data?
Then I remembered it's 2009, when solid-state drives exist.
Whooosh - the joke's on the word "viral" in PP's post.

Woah, woah, that's a tad too many scientific buzzwords! I'm all dizzy around here!
Cue the LHC Rap ...
Yes, I know, -1 Flamebait here I come.
You have great prediction powers, O Wise One!

He says he talks to his wife. Whether she talks to him is another matter.
My wife also talks to me ... in the form of beeps and error codes. Every now and then I need to debug her.
... I'd like to see his ass handed to him in court...
Maybe Google is simply following its own motto, "Don't be evil" ...?
If Google sues, then Google will be seen as "Evil".
Even Microsoft doesn't sue for slanders! Or for anything at all.
Once again, I'm embarrassed beyond words. Thanks for your update.

Thanks for your reply. :)
How about this?

Does it pass the "more than 3 dots" test?
Ah, thank you for your reply. It has certainly opened me up to the real world - on how programming teams operate.
it's using up a part of your life you won't get back again.
Just like most of us spending time reading Slashdot, and arguing back and forth!
this simple fact, bolded for emphasis:
I don't think they actually suck. I think they are simply pressurized to produce results in the quickest time possible. I think part of the blame goes to the commissioning clients.

Yup. You won't receive junk messages with fake sender IDs, unlike emails.
Oh wait ...

No, no, it began on one of these dates:
What? The computer is my universe. And the end is near!
