I do network security for a living. I also know the physical security people in my company. We have completely orthogonal skill sets and cultures. Most (non-guard) physical security posititions require knowledge of police work, evidence handling, physical monitoring equipment, etc. (Good) Network security requires advanced understanding of network theory, operating systems, programming, algorithms, network protocols, etc. It's not about watching an intrusion detection system all day. It's about influencing how programs and entire systems and networks are designed and operated, outthinking attackers, and so forth.
That would be the Glendale Galleria (in Glendale, CA), which looks outdated even today, appearing suddenly in the middle of DC in 2054. On the other hand, there are plenty of things around today that were here in 1952. Surely, EVERYTHING would not change in 50 years...
You should not have to pay $1 WHETHER OR NOT you have any interest in downloading music. Likewise, people buy CDs for many things other than burning music. How about you pay artists directly for downloading their music. They give you high quality sound files. You give them cash. No record companies need apply.
for anyone using voice recognition, or any other application where keeping your mike at the CORRECT level is important. What right do they have to change my settings?!
The client is paying you for your time in developing an application. For that money, they should get at least:
1) The binaries 2) documentation 3) support
If you can't give them support, the ethical thing to do would be to let them know, and give them the source code so that they can have someone else maintain it. But THEY should choose whether to open source the code or not. They paid for it. It's their decision, not yours.
I do not like to give my e-mail address to companies, because I do not want spam. If I have to give my address to download software, I will likely not give it, or will give an incorrect address.

I'm wondering what kind of performance a Firewire drive would give compared to an ATA-100 7200 RPM hard drive. Faster? Slower? Where would the data bottleneck on the way to the CPU?

One major problem exposed by this idea is that the Internet will suddenly have a single point of failure (and slowness) where all of the packets have to go through. Do you like your Internet slow and vulnerable?
PPPoE will reduce your data transfer rates because you have to use some of your bandwidth for the PPP header information. Every time you encapsulate your transmissions in a new protocol, you loose some performance, because you must process the protocol headers, and the headers for each protocol eat up bandwidth.
Adobe legally must enforce its trademarked names, or they fall into common usage. If they fall into common usage, Adobe no longer has legal protection over the name. So if Adobe fails to enforce its rights over a name for a similar product with which there is a high probability of confusion between its product (Illustrator) and K's product (Killustrator), it looses the rights to the Illustrator name. It's not a conspiracy. It's just what they have to do to run their business.

Console game companies (Sony, MS, Sega, Nintendo) sell the console at a loss, much like cell phone companies give away cell phones, so that you will run out and buy their games. They receive licensing fees for games that run on their platforms. These fees more than make up for their losses on hardware (well, except in Sega's case;) If people start to buy large quantities of consoles, but don't buy games to run on them, the business model will fail. At that point, these companies will either stop subsidizing console prices, or will put in protections to prevent anyone from using them except as game consoles.

I experienced exactly the same thing. It was just very strange to see people 100 years ago living in a world that looked just like ours, except for some funny clothes, lots of wood, and poor building codes. I could imagine actually being there, and after some minor color adjustments in Photoshop, it was just like looking through a window. People back then weren't shadowy or grainy, and they lived life much as we would if we had less technology and education. Amazing!
Some of these images contain elements that moved through the picture between different shots being taken with different filters. You can see this clearly in photoshop. For example, in this image, if you turn OFF different combinations of R,G and B channels in photoshop (and probably GIMP too), you can see a man in the background appear and disappear. In the composite photo, he appears to be glowing with red and blue halos. In the individual channels, sometimes he is there, and sometimes he is not!
A recent article stated that most legislators ignore their incoming e-mail because they get far too much of it to read. How do you think that the Internet could be best used to encourage public participation in government? Do you think that there is a way for many thousands or millions of people to participate without overwhelming our representatives, and without having creative programmers and e-mailers skew perceptions of public desires?
The general trend since the Internet became a mass public resource has been for government to attempt to find ways to monitor people using it (Carnivore for example), to listen in on their communications (Key escrow), or to use the Internet as a means to remove consumer rights in favor of total control by businesses (DCMA). How do you feel about these technologies and laws, and how do you propose to keep the Internet a place where ordinary citizens can communicate and conduct business without giving up the rights that they have in the physical world?
