If people don't drink soda, eat candy, or eat meat (fed on said corn), isn't there a sort of Darwinian solution to this? It seems like all you really need to do is not eat crap.
We mortgaged our future to out-spend the Soviets, and set up a death spiral of credit thats choking the country. When the US finally fizzles, let the rest of the world turn to China for help, and see how far they get. At least the Chinese don't sugar-coat the conditions they'll impose. Too bad the US Govt sold its western oil reserves to Al Gore (google Occidental Petroleum and Elk Hills), else we'd at least maintain a formidable military presence in the Pacific.
I'd rather see the nice old b&w Twilight Zones, grainy old BSG, the 1 or 2 seasons of Firefly, than ALL NEW DISNEY PIXAR TWILIGHT ZONE 3D ON ICE !!eleventy!!!
Lets get some NEW stuff - the enjoyment from the show should come from the plot/characters/message rather than the latest special effects or rehashes of To Serve Man.
Just because some prions are different than others, and those differences cause them to last longer, linger around longer, etc does not mean that they are evolving. It's not as if the prion wakes up one day and says "I'm going to change". The suckier prions just don't make the cut. There's a difference.
You know, studying stuff in college for years doesn't make you smart. Maybe these are clever, practical people, and you're just not a good communicator?
How about a mode where I can hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and hit Enter, and have it lock my screen, without having to wait in the middle for Windows to mode-switch to a different video screen, complete with fancy graphics, to ask me the same thing a simple dialog box asks me?
How about being able to edit the parameters of something you've "pinned to the taskbar"?
Whats up with this whole "Library" thing? What is wrong with "My Documents"
Thank God at least they put your whole user profile in the c:\users\ directory - wait, do they, or is user crap still sprinkled around in c:\program files\blah ?
Unix existed when MS wrote and sold DOS. Inexcusable.
I constantly run into people screwing stuff up because they get lost in the logic of stuff like "if this is part of that group but not contained in this set".
I bet you also think that your employer "pays half" of your Social Security tax. All those things I mentioned, which you classify as perks, are part of the whole package - your salary, your benefits, your coffee, it all equals X dollars per year. If they remove one or more of those, its a pay cut, pure and simple.
The more you screw your employees, the more they will find ways to screw you. Turn off Gmail and Slashdot? Fine, I'll take a once-an-hour smoke break. Hack my 401k? I'll sit and stare at the ceiling. Bust by balls about travel costs? See if I don't have a "family thing" next time and can't go. People will take what they feel (rightly or wrongly) is their due, whether you give it to them or not.
How do you do data entry, even touch screen, if you need both hands to hold it? If I want to put a computer on my lap, I'll buy a laptop. If I want a PDA, I'll use a PDA. A 2-handed PDA sucks.

What's "IP La"? In Central America, wouldn't it be "La IP" instead?
Did they fix that nasty "if you have files > 512MB kiss them goodbye" bug ?
a) there's no way a Wii could decode HD
b) the Wii does not have HD outputs
c) you're trolling
Your premise fails because the market isn't free.
When you accurately describe the market, come back and troll some more.

-1, really lame troll.
Why didn't you tell us about the file transfer speed of your NT4 workstation while you were at it ?

So the point of this article is that physical tasks, like plumbing or carrying infected blood, can't be done electronically ?!?!

The US also has more McDonalds, too. How is this even interesting?

This will bankroll people's salaries for YEARS before it is ever (not) built.
How does this help again? Hookers and blow and all that?
Can I sandbox DNF on my I-Opener running Linux ?
Venn Diagrams. Intersection. Union. AND/OR/NAND/NOR

Or stay out of Japan all together. Safer, less tentacle-rapey, less schoolgirl panty sniffy, less racist, less xenophobic, etc.
I own a number of security-related investments, so YES YES YES they work!!! Save us from teh terrorists !1!! Wait, am I being too cynical?

I earn my job, which is why I have one. Do you ?

Stop surfing porn at work then.

And you're not as perfect as you think you are.
Welcome to reality.
Whoosh. The sound of the joke going over your head.
Less space than a Nomad. No wireless. USB. Lame.
