If suddenly everyone waiting to board a given flight is a +ve, doesn't that mean that there really is a terrorist around somewhere? That's important to know, isn't it?
If one man can make an entire nation change their policy,
We already do random searches of people waiting to board. There's no policy change here -- just using better technology to make it more efficient and targeted.
I have, however, lost my faith in having a civilized conversation with you
Ouch! I know there's a lot of uncivilized garbage on/., but surely my comments thusfar cannot be considered inflammatory or rude?
Getting back to the point -- all I'm saying is we should use this technology to select people to undergo more thorough scrutiny, instead of the current random method of picking people as they wait to get onboard.
Having lots of false +ves, while undoubtedly costly, is surely better than doing nothing?
Something tells me that, despite how popular Al-Qaeda looks on television, that there aren't 2000 terrorists in an airport at any given time. See what I'm saying?
OK - don't use the super sensitive machine and let *ONE* terrorist through. See what I'm saying?

Macbooks can only hold 2Gb memory True until someone comes out with a 2GB PC2-5300 200-pin SODIMM, then it'll hold 4GB. The chipset already supports this.

Way to bring politics into the conversation! Classy.
Just because it's not patentable doesn't mean they won't implement it.

So? Take each positive aside and check 'em! Where's the problem there?
And this is funny, why?
It was an accident that he was targeted incorrectly. The shots were deliberate, so the amount and location is irrelevant.
Heat is wasted energy
Maybe you should go read up on thermodynamics!
you guys did know about this right? http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/barbieOS.htm
Ummm, that's the (unfunny and ancient) article linked to in this (unfunny and banal) story.
I believe there is some kind of HFS driver for windows?

Honestly, my life would be much easier if Safari, Konqueror and Opera would all just die. Let Mozilla and MS duke it out.
Maybe get a different job? If all browsers but one die will you be happy then?

According to Steve, OSX has been Architecture-agnostic since the beginning. Darwin, of course, has been running on x86 publically from day one.

How about Bluetooth EDR? Google for it!
