So the only way this person's surgery is actually worth anything is if fingerprint scans care which hand the prints are one? I would think that if you switched your hands' fingerprints, you'd still have the same prints, which could be picked up easily enough as long as the scan tests the prints against your right and left hands both.
Not to mention, as I'm sure someone has by now, they would probably notice the scars. I would think it would be more worth it to get someone else's fingerprints, if you could.
I suspect that your post is sarcastic, and would like to say right off the bat that I'm not disagreeing with you. I think.
The problem obviously would be how to use such a homemade cell phone, as the towers are owned (licensed? rented?) by the telephone providers, who undoubtedly have rules against accessing their network without authorization (i.e., $$). P2P phone network, anyone?:)
How awesome would it be if (when?) they make stealth, invisible, silent bombers? Wouldn't it blow your mind if you were walking down the street and suddenly the army base just explodes for no reason?:-)
LiveCD anyone? If you know to wipe the drive in the first place, I think there's a good chance you're smart enough to grab a Linux disc and figure out the arguments for dd.
We're talking about drunken husbands beating on their wives, and now you want to argue about whether it would be better if they had FIREARMS? Is this really what our society has come to?
Well, you're generating traffic to their website, which would seem to imply to the web admins that people are interested in it. Maybe no actual $$$, but hey.
So any bets on how long it'll take them to find a nefarious use for this? Like spying on any private boats passing within x leagues of Cuba? [/paranoia]
I'd say that Wusers are more ignorant that confused. They aren't confused about browsers now: They have Internet Explorer. It accesses the Internet. Why would they want or need a different browser? Offering them a choice is bound to confuse them, even though it's a good idea technically.
How is a copy on hard disk not permanent? Is "permanent" defined in this context as "you can unplug the component, wait 5 minutes, plug it back in, and the data's still there" like with RAM, or "this DVD-R is permanent because I cannot write to it again"? (I'm not being sarcastic; I actually want to know.)

Why do they have to be in the base program?
Unfortunately, power corrupts.

LOL, I almost thought this was serious until I hit the part about the MS Shared Source license.

Anybody who knows about the memory leak that for some reason STILL exists in Firefox and doesn't want their computer to slowly run out of free RAM.

Damn, my mod points just expired. Sorry man.
No, no, no! You have to nuke it from orbit--it's the only way to be sure.
I'm not sure what the name of that medical condition is, but it must be fucking fantastic.

Yes! I for one welcome our new attacking monkey overlords :)

Open source had its chance and blew it.
So they'll never be able to optimise it, huh? It shall remain bloated forever.

Won't someone think of the children?!?!?
Pshaw---that would make too much sense. Much better to waste time and money doing so anyway.
While technically not Visual Studio, you can download Visual Basic/C++/C# Express Editions for free.
