Over your heart is the best place. That region is generally very tolerant to most environmental effects and mutagens. Ever heard of anyone getting heart cancer?
(OK, lung cancer exists, but what do you expect when you fill them with toxins)
I always thought that although HHGTTG was a damned good series of books, the two Dirk Gently books were slightly more intelligent and more fun for grown-ups.
It seems to me that "Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency" and "The long dark tea time of the soul" would be more suitable for a movie. More dialogue, less need for a narrator, better developed characters. Not a MIB-type Hollywood action movie, but a nice film nonetheless.
You are talking about PCs. Personal Computers. This is not about Windows or Linux or whatever your fetish is about. It is about a single x86 computer not normally being considered "state-of-the-art" compared to the really powerful computers. And windows does _not_ run on these systems.
Now, perhaps they do not need anything more powerful than a PC. But state-of-the-art in computing? Puh-leez.
No the biggest obstacle is that the crew has moved on to find other jobs. They said so themselves in the final Futurama DVD audio commentary. Do you think Fox just put all the great writers, actors and directors in a closet and said "wait here we might need you in a couple of years"?
That is pretty clever, but possibly wrong. Since Fry only has sex with one of his grandmothers the relationship is not perfectly symmetric. They are looking for a steady-state solution and I am not convinced that your solution satisfies that.
You have understood nothing. The phenomenon is real and one of the strangest and most spooky things in physics. It shows that it it possible to get a particle (in this case a photon) to interfere with itself.
The only question is how you interpret it. The first interpretation, created by Einstein, Bohr and other dignitaries of the time, was the "Copenhagen Interpretation" which requires an "observer".
The "Many-worlds interpretation", first thought of in the late fifties gets rid of the need for a mystical observer by introducing parallell universes, where entangled particles can still interfere with each other.
This interpretation is championed by many of the leading physicists. For example Deutsch and Murray Gell-Mann.
I believe Feynman has a strange third interpretation involving particles travelling backwards in time, that cancel out the waves of forward travelling particles at specific points in space-time.
Jens of Sweden has never developed any technology of it's own. Their game is to rebrand other manufacturers mp3-players and make the exterior look somewhat better. I don't have the energy to find a link, but this is common knowledge.
This explained nothing to me. Your strange analogies about extra protection seemed completely irrelevant. I just don't see how a firewall gives me extra protection.
I don't run Samba and if I did I would use hosts.allow to limit access to the IPs that should have it. What additional security can iptables (or whatever) give me? I am not making an argument. I just don't understand what it is good for outside a complicated business environment.
The original poster seems to think that it adds some mysterious level of protection that everybody needs.
Hmmmm... I honestly want to know why I need a firewall. I run linux. I know exactly which ports are open (lsof, netstat and nmap can tell me), only the ones that should be, and I use tcp-wrappers when I want to limit access to a subnet.
In Sweden, where I grew up, we had an ex-junkie come talk to our class about his life a few years earlier. About what his life was like now. About how innocently it had all started. Emotional stuff about his parents. About his friends, the ones who died, the ones who still tried to get him back to his old habits, the girls who fucked for heroin.
He spoke slowly and forgot words. He was clearly fucked up. We _believed_ him - he was real.
If I remember correctly you could sort of lose by putting the piece of string in the large kettel on board of the ship. It disappeared and you could not use it later as a fuse for the cannon.
It was a simple buffer overflow bug in the steering system. The system buffered all the pilots movements and performed them one at a time, but the buffer was too small and could actually overflow and crash the system.
Amazingly, this flaw was known by the american company that manufactured the component and the pilots where instructed not to use the "joystick" too much.
The steering system has since been replaced.
IIRC, even though this is not classified in any way, the true cause for the crashes was never properly reported. I know because I am related to one of the guys who did the error investigation. Perhaps the swedish airforce thought that a simple buffer overflow error was too embarassing to admit...
This has never been done before. Any time we wander into the unknown, we are likely to be surprised and learn something unexpected. Historically, this has proven to be very productive.
Many things have never been done before. I have never had Pringles chips shoved up my nose, yet I doubt humanity would learn something grand and unexpected if they seized me and performed these experiments.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, but the OpenEEG project over at: http://openeeg.sf.net/ is an attempt to give all us geeks the chance to experiment with mind interfaces.
I want my commercial cheap-and-easy-to-use 128 node EEG machine, though. That would rock;).
I don't think I've ever shoplifted anything either. Or experimented with drugs. And all this despite the fact that I consider myself an egoist/hedonist,
I wonder if I would fail a polygraph test just because they would assume that everyone have done that...

It is forbidden. The police are not allowed to entice a suspect to commit crime in any way.

You, sir, have revitalized a dying art!
Coolio was offended by the song? A man who writes a song titled "gangsters paradise" is offended?
Is it logically inconsistent of me to claim that there is no invisible pink unicorn? On what authority would I make such a negative assertion?
...or so they say.

Since Russia is not entirely located in Europe, but also in Asia, the Russian space program was euro-asian.
Excellent! It's all falling into place...

Exactly what would a firewall do for me?

Young lady, on this site we do not expose ourselves in public. The dress code clearly states that skirts must go _below_ the 46:th chromosome.

Man was I pissed when I found out...
I think that was supposed to refer to the wife's *special* electric device.
