If AMD are releasing thier 64 bit chip early, does intel have any plans to? or are they still insisting that desktop users arent ready for 64 bit chips?
It's not like the moment you make a call the plane is going to burst into flames and fall from the sky, the main reason some electronics are not allowed on flights is due to the precision navigation equipment.
I'd like to know how they'd deal with 50+ mobiles looking for base stations to connect to?
Would you like to buy a cd only to find out that it will only work on X cdplayer? or a device that's only able to run if you're with Z electricity company?
AI might be going nowhere at the moment, but wouldnt it be a good idea to take the time that we have now to research the consequences of creating such a thing?
Wouldnt it be better to be prepared for what the creation of an AI would bring? what are the religious and political ramifications?

With all the laws, bans and implementations of anti-spam measures, I'm curious to know if there is any reduction in the amount of overall spam?
Are we fighting a losing battle? or have the tides turned against the spammers?
I thought it was standard sysadmin practice to stop DOS missle attacks.
Well... shall we ban any tools that can be used for breaking and entering then?
* screw drivers
* crowbars
* keys
* bits of metal
* credit cards

I wonder if push came to shove, how long it would take them to prep an emergency launch for a rescue?
They could have kept the shuttle up there for 30 days, would that have been enough time to launch a rescue mission?

He gets bonus points if he makes his space outfit one like the space marine from doom.
Can I bid for it on Ebay?
I guess this statement could sum up the situation.
"We work as a team, and we do it my way"
Desperation is when they start selling the penis enlargers door to door.
Seriously, has anyone actually *seen* one?
"Luckily Futurama has yet to contact us for using their character names as our development codenames."
Well if they do, you could always say "Bite my shiny metal ass"
One of the most precious recources for any geek is a moist towelette that can be substituted for that unnecessary showering...
as long as you've got a steady supply, no need to leave the keyboard.
well, I guess they need to get that jar jar binks death scene juuuuust right.

Would you prefer the pop-up book version?
