This technology can be used to inhibit stuttering for persons with this disorder. You see, there's this phenomenon where stuttering can be inhibited if a stutterer speaks in approximate unison with other speakers (choral speech). A device was thus developed that attempts to mimic choral speech by echoing a stutterer's speech with a few milliseconds delay (delayed auditory feedback). It's effective, but not 100% effective since a stutter needs to overcome the initial stuttering block (i.e., he needs to speak so that it can be echoed later). With this technology, a device can simply read your mind so that you can speak in unison with the "mind reading device". I hope there would be a portable version of this soon.
I'm not sure if this is on-topic or not, but this one of the reasons why the BSD license is better than the GPL. It allows you to open source everything except the code with the business value. The GPL forces you to open source everything.
There is a trend in some of our local (PH) pharmacies, where they would pay a licensed pharmacist to show his license to authorities. Then, they would hire unlicensed sales ladies in lieu of a pharmacist. The pharmacist gets paid without working, and the pharmacy would end up with less costs. Win-win.

Making the poor a bit poorer is the an easy way to get rich, but it's not the best way, nor is it the only way. Just look at America, the land of Capitalism. It's so funny that Americans are currently protesting why they are so poor, because when you look at facts, it is very clear that they are rich:
In 2005, the typical household defined as poor by the government had a car and air conditioning. For entertainment, the household had two color televisions, cable or satellite TV, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there were children, especially boys, in the home, the family had a game system, such as an Xbox or a PlayStation*
You have just made a case for Capitalism. In an ideal Capitalist society, the rich will get richer, but the poor will get richer as well. Since "richness" is relative, rich people would no longer be filthy rich.

This "be a jerk" thing that the Pickup Scam Artist society advocates only work in the real world. I've tried this online with disastrous results. I think this needs to be combined with an effective body language to be successful. The self-effacing thing works, however, if much of your communication is done via e-mail, text, or old skool IRC and SMS. I got a 9 back in college by being self-effacing online, but it didn't really work out after we physically met. So, here's my proposed solution: be vulnerable online but be confident offline.

I wish there was a way to downvote crap articles like this.
Ads are OK. They're the reason why most things in life (i.e., the Internet) are free.
it's begun!
It is tiem.
There, fixed that for you!
There is a "do not tag" option in Facebook. I use it to keep my friends from tagging me in my drunk pics.

I know your joking, but the technologies required to implement this already exist.

Genuine question: are the root certificates for each phone unique?

Yes, but it's made in China...
It is time to finally move away from Ubuntu. Thank you, Canonical, for all the fish.
I had the same problem as jasnw. Thanks for the tip!

Physical destruction is really the only way to be sure.
Not really, unless you nuke it from orbit.

It's also amazing how a lot stuff from fiction (Terminator, Star Trek, Fringe) is coming true.
I want my flying car already!

My big realization was that, due to societal norms, there's maybe 1% of the female population out there that fits my criteria.
You need to travel, and find your true love in Asia. =)
