Actually, we will have mini projectors that project onto the wall. Of course, the mouse and keyboard will look lonely sitting on the desk all by themselves. Unless, everything is voice controlled.
A few month's ago, The Economist reported that Gore actually coined the phrase "information superhighway" years ago when trying to gain support for the Internet.
Can anyone confirm/deny this?
I think he knows what he's up agianst, hence the reference to Sisyphus. But, just because it's impossible doesn't mean someone shouldn't try.
Also, and perhaps I'm being naive here, but I believe that when things don't work they fall apart eventually. ICANN doesn't work all that well. They may have to listen to him sooner or later. Or maybe he'll just pave the way for the next reformer.
I wonder why politians never mention the fact that the crime rate has consistantly gone down over the last several decades.
It's interesting to note that this drop seems to correspond with the technology boom.
I respect France's intent and the right to protect their laws. If France wants to protect their laws, perhaps law should read that it is illegal for French citizens to buy or sell Nazi memoribilia. Then they could try to police the French purchasers/sellers. It can't be any more difficult than trying to police a US based Yahoo.
In "The Running Man," it's the Network that controls everything. From Amazon..."Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) crafted The Running Man early in his career... A bit of a departure from the supernatural horror that is most frequently associated with his work, the novel describes a science fiction dystopia where market capitalism and television game shows have spiraled out of control, and the separation between the haves and the have-nots has been formalized with separate currencies."
Interesting...I just read a magazine article in which Julia Roberts won a dispute over someone using juliaroberts.com. In the dispute, the guy who had registered the site was found to have no legitimate claim to the site. It made me wonder though...If I shared a megastar's name, do they win the right to the domain name? Also, what about the Barbie twins? or anyone named Barbie?(I've actually met someone by this name before.)
2600 reported this typo/freudian-slip "Posting information about MPAA's anti-privacy [sic] operations and techniques will make that information easily available to those engaged in, or planning for, digital piracy of individual works," extracted from the section 5 of the Motion (below). Glad they can "admit" what they're really up to. 5. Public dissemination of the information described in subsections (a) and (b) of paragraph 4 above, especially over the Internet, would facilitate harassment of plaintiffs, their witnesses, and other persons who may be identified in deposition testimony, as I understand plaintiffs' counsel have previously advised the Court. Disclosure of the information described in subsection (c) of paragraph 4 would substantially hinder ongoing anti-piracy investigations, frustrate future investigations, and undermine future security measures. Just as the FBI needs to protect its agents, sources, and methods, so as to safeguard their safety and effectiveness, so too the MPAA needs to protect those engaged in its anti-piracy operations. The focus of audiovisual piracy is rapidly shifting to Internet, DVDs and other digital transmissions. Posting information about MPAA's anti-privacy [sic] operations and techniques will make that information easily available to those engaged in, or planning for, digital piracy of individual works.

If you read the article, they specifically say that by 'organic chemicals' they mean plastic...and it is so cheap that it probably is disposable.

They certainly haven't justified it to me.
Good point. Still, the argument could be made that economic boom is partially as a result of technology;hence... You get the point

Informative, but does not mention fixing the bug that keeps my husband up playing Rocket Arena every night until 3:00.

You forgot to add that this movie gave you an excuse to say "ass" 5 times and "blow job" twice.

My first registration didn't work. The second time I tried it went through.
