Great "study" - empty public transportation is not efficient.
The proper question is: Will be more efficient to move majority of people from cars to public transportation? (it is simple - make driving cars more expensive and extend public transportation network).
It would be cool to have firefox "mode" doing exactly this. Press an "online-banking" button and a new isolated firefox session would be started with all needed restrictions and settings.
Check http://www.digg.com/ for some wii launch coverage. Also http://www.engadget.com/ has some story about wii launch. And BTW, it is interesting that slashdot is not covering launch - influenced by Sony;-) ?
There is an article in The Observer about some scenarios considered by Pentagon. One (?) of the scenarios deals with some dramatic changes in very short time scala:
Math is a base for every solid science. So we are already now "cured by math" (but also enjoying all advantages of civilisation because of scientific method - based on math).
However, there is a trend in the last time (also on/.) that science and scientific method is somehow mystified. This mystification is than part of news headlines - and content of news is similar to religious messages. Don't forget, science is simple collection of recepies which works (and help us to better understood world we are living in).
It will be interesting to compare performance of the macstl library to other "high speed" template libraries like Blitz++ (see http://www.oonumerics.org/blitz/)
What about following scenario: Somebody commit a crime, but he is not in the database. You look similar, thus in "search engine" you will have a high position. There are witnesses, but you look similar (you know, it was night, fog, but it could be...), and computer says it's you. Bingo!
From the other side, the large number of trivial patents and prior cases makes intelectual property of many corporations worthless. Could we turn the play around and say that so caled IP is practically not enforsable, and thus valueless?
Why should someone who commits crimes against someone in another country not be held liable for those crimes simply because of geographic boundaires?
Because of different definitions of crime from country to country. Let we see:

BEIJING, Sept. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Those who are engaged in the profit-oriented production and dissemination of pornographic materials through the Internet, mobile communication terminals and"phone-sex" services in China are subject to punishment as severe as life imprisonment, according to the latest legal interpretations.
It is important what is inside. In the last months I had a very bad expirience with devices with the closed source OS (network routers in my case). Without access to the OS of the device you are "delivered" to the company, and have to wait for all (also trivial) fixes and features. In the case of the open OS you could do it yourself (at least in the theory). Somehow, I hate to be helpless and delivered.
I'm sure that quantum cryptography will be in everyday use long before quantum computers (it is much simpler concept, and there is number of experimental instalations), and quantum encrypted data are not breakable by any computers.
A. Stepanov: "At that time I also discovered books of two great computer scientists from whose work I learned the scientific foundation of my trade: Donald Knuth and Edsger Dijkstra. Knuth taught me the answers. Dijkstra taught me the questions."

It is Linux, and more or less Linux is equal to Linux. Many people are good in Linux development and administration

Whow they invented 'export DISPLAY=...' What will be next? Symbolic links?
