It is only me, or are they takeing this 'hidden webcams of nudes women' thing a little too far? Plenty of that stuff on the net already, NASA, go do some science instead. Sheesh.
It made me think of a game for the C64. It had simple vector graphics (Like in Elite). The game consisted of looking for a mate, trying not to get killed and finding food. If you managed to get a mate, you could change some parameters on the creature, resulting in a new creature with some altered features. Great game, and I can't wait for SPORE.
Anyone remember the game for the C64? I can't find it on any of my working discs and tapes.:( I am thinking of Alter Ego, but that is another game completely.
Won't someone please think of the computers? With this tech they can get high on electronics impulses and get hooked for life. And before you know it, we will have criminal computers offering to spam for a quick fix, and prostitute computers offering open ports.
I presume you are refering to the (in)famous 12 danish cartoons. A lot can be said about those and what happen because of it, I will leave that to others as I don't discuss religion or politics on the internet (flame wars just waiting to happen, often than not). One thing really stands out, to put it in one word; context. It wasn't just 12 drawn pictures, it was part of a whole, the text explains exactly why the pictures are there and why the article was written.
What will be said of placing RFID tags into our bodies 50 years from now.
My Personal and Happy Thought Modifier does not allow me to anwer that. Furthermore My Personal and Perky Surveillance Monitor have reported you, please proceed to the nearest My Personal and Fantastic Behavior Modifier booth for reeducation.

I see your point, but I don't think long, and hard to pronounce, Finnish words is they way to go.
To you out there who doesn't understand Finnish, the words can roughly be tranlated to (I am a little rusty at this, so excuse any errors): I am a fricking virus/worm with a laser attached to my head, so don't fricking read this email.
Is is cureable and is he getting treatment? Did he get a second opinion from another doctor? What is it any way? I sure hope it isn't some nasty stuff like the avian flu or cancer.

Quinn blames the 'sandal and ponytail set' for sluggish adoption of Linux by businesses and governments.
That might be true, but it sure beats the viagra PEZ dispensers, mohawks and phallic attachments worn by spammers.

That's the same code on my luggage!
i.com would likely be a sex site.
I wonder who would get b.org first. A Star trek fan, a MS basher or a geek?
I just know that some arsehat tech will accidentially write kill -9 -1 in the missile command window instead of the consol.
I am pretty sure that Opera is completely ads free now (there even was a story on /. about it, if memory servers correctly).
:p
Only features Opera is missing are 64bit support/binaries (UNIX like systems) and MathML.
Biased opinion as I am a long time Opera user and semi-fanatic
Agent? Agent!? We don't need no stinking agent.
What kind of agent anyway? Secret agent? Agent Orange? PR agent?

Oooooh shiny.
Everyone knows what chicken pox is though.
Unless you are not from an English speaking nation, in which case varicella-zoster makes more sense.
Mouse!? Come on. What would it do? Jiggle slightly?
Cue the vibrating mouse in the pants jokes.
I want a fantasy (or scifi, or spy, or whatever) MMORPG that lets me contribute content and code to a dynamic world.
Take a look at Ryzom Ring, which will be a way for players to add to the game (Saga of Ryzom).
