Wouldnt't this allow the message to be intercepted and not recieved by the intended recipient? It would still only have one destination. Or does it have to be a specific destination?
A self-defence mechanism could be built into the criminal-version of the device. Perhaps when it cam into contact with outside air or sunlight it would send a pulse of electricity to the heart or brain killing or disabling the criminal. I am extremely skeptical about this.
Many of the products don't mask the odors but rather remove them. They have no scent of their own. There's a limit to how long they last, but for a few hours anyone can be pretty much scentless.
There are many products availavle to hunters that is designed to remove all human scent. Some work better than others. Could this mask the "aura" or is there more to it than that?
I think the issue is probably money. A color screen would cost a good bit more than a b&w screen wouldn't it? If they sprung for color they might have to leave out the ability to play MP3s or something to keep the price tolerable. *GASP* Heaven forbid we trade entertainment for productivity!
But does a calculator really need a cpu at 66MHz? That's an awful lot of power for a calc. Keep in mind that most of the cycles of a desktop is sucked up in supporting a bloated OS. If this is to be used as a calculator and not more of a PDA or palmtop, I think it's just overkill for all but the most intensive users. Then again, I could be wrong.
Linuxcare has a bootable business card. It's a small Debian linux distro with about 108MB of tools I think. I think it even has xwindows. It was made to fit on one of those smaller CDs but the ISO works just fine on a regular CD-R. I have found it very usefull. http://www.linuxcare.com/bootable_cd/index.epl
The way I understand it, when you opt out doubleclick places a cookie that indicates you've opted out. So let's say you do opt out. Then later on you decide to clear out all your old cookies. You're back where you've started and probably don't even realize it.
I would imagine a peer-to-peer system would introduce much longer delays in synchronization and also exponentially increase conflicts/duplicate registrations between DNSs without the most up-to-date data. The complexity and confusion would be astounding. There must be one or a few master controllers.
Well there's one huge difference here. The black guy CAN'T decide whether or not to hear you make the racist remarks(even though he can stop you after he does hear). The horny 12yo CAN decide not to visit a site he doesn't like. If he doesn't like what I have to say, he doesn't have to read it. Your solution still targets the victim as the criminal and not the attacker. There will always be someone who doesn't like what you have to say.
The DoS attacks you recieved were probably off of a 56K modem (I could be wrong) while this attack came from a group of script kiddies with an unknown total of bandwidth. It's impossible to say whether or not the ISP should have been able to handle it without more info. How much bandwidth do they have? How much did the attackers have? How long was the attack sustained?
Could they just kick the victim and make him relogin to get a new IP address? I would think that would throw off the attackers while only causing a minor inconvenience to the victim. Or was the attack against the victims web site rather than his dial-up connection?
Virii/worms/trojans/whatever rarely fit nicely into only one category but rather have traits from two or more families of pestilences. This vbs propegates like a worm yet decieves like a trojan.
Perhaps they plan to use this information to gauge software piracy. They could sell data to corporations to see where/how often files identical to theirs are being downloaded. I doubt any legal action could be brought against anyone downloading a file that appears to be illegal, but the info could be usefull to companies. Real could make a fortune doing that. I hope I'm wrong though.

I just hope that Red Hat doesn't use this money to bribe start-ups to use Red-Hat-standards. I'm not accusing them of anything, but it seems like it would be so easy to say "Here is all this money you can have, but you have to make your product work such and such way so that it works well with our distribution." If Red Hat really intends to help startups and encourage REAL inovation, then more power to them. (but not too much) I just wonder how they plan to get their monetary return from this as they clearly expect to.

I wasn't there to see the Bible written so I have to accept that by faith and choose to. I beliebed that the various strata and fossils were created during the great flood. That would explain why the fossil record is RARELY in the order evolutionists expect. As far as radioisotope dating, I believe it is wildly inaccurate. I do apply the same skepticism, but I have to believe something. Either God created this world (God has always existed with no beginning), or it happened by chance (matter has always existed with no beginning). I find it much easier to believe that an all-powerful God created this world as it is (or was several thousand years ago) than to believe this all happened by chance. God does not lie about His creation. He never has and never will. WE will sometimes not understand what we see. I'd like to stay longer, but I have to get to college.

I believe the worlds were created in 6 days probably a few thousand years ago. I believe it was in 6 days simply because that's what's recorded in the Bible and that's good enough for me. Anything beyond that is really only speculation. I've heard good creationist arguements and I've heard bad ones. The same goes for evolutionists' arguements. The point is, none of us were there to observe the beginning of the universe, and it cannot be repeated(by us) so it CANNOT be scientifically studied. Neither creationism not evolutionism is science! (As far as evolution, microevolution is fact, macroevolution is not, but evolution of the universe is what I'm discussing here) We can study the universe and guess about it's origins but nothing more. As we learn more about it, yes arguements will change. Some will be better; others will be worse. None can be proven.

Solar sails and all that would be great, BUT I wouldn't go off into the big black yonder until I've got an engine that can bring me back. To my knowledge, there's no sail that let's you shift into reverse, and I assume finding an alternate route home would take a little bit longer. Then again, maybe we could make some sort of propelor that could take us up-stream. Of course a propellor spinning that fast would probably spin off and break up or disintegrate, but it'd be cool to try.

I work at a community college where we have a few blind/visually impaired students. With the aid of a piece of software called Jaws, they can use a computer about as efficiently as any of us. It reads aloud the title of windows as your mouse moves over them, reads aloud text, adds some more shortcut keys, and really makes the monitor uneccessary...almost. I'm going to download the demo and see for myself. I've seen a blind man demo it as he trained some of the faculty and the results suprised me.
We also have zooming software for those who can still see a little. Many of these tools can be very usefull even if we aren't handicapped.

Note they say the rumors are inaccurate, not false. Any minute mistake would allow them to say this.
Really? I swap hard drives all the time. I've got a small collection of 540s and 360s. I use them more than floppies a lot of the time
