The other brilliant ripoff you get with Comcast (technically a telecom). Do you want broadband? Forget getting it at the advertised prices. Instead, you have to pay for a cable feed ($15 for minimal cable TV, which you may like watching if you hardly stay home, otherwise you're paying $30+ for basic).
So they may advertise $29 for the high speed internet special, but in actuality it's $50 or more. And THEN after the special ends, you're paying more like $90 a month. Quite a leap from $30, ain't it?
Cellular providers aren't much better, but these bait and switch tactics should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Demand that e-bike manufacturers include a solar panel for trickle charging.
You're already paying $150+ for a bike, imagine what electric bill savings you would get by charging the bike with solar, after the initial $100 markup a solar panel would add.
The MPAA recently commissioned Lawrence Livermore Laboratories to create a working time machine, in order to seek litigation against the first known cracker of CSS.
Take a looksee at good 'ol Enterprise sometime. That glider demonstration featured a needlenose as well.
Presumably it was for measuring air speeds, etc, or at least gave the test pilot a reference point for lining up the runway (since the nose drops off a touch from the cockpit windows, you need a solid reference point to guide yourself in by).
We had gang bangers killing each other to steal their sneakers.
Now we've gotta worry about 1337 hackers using our sneakers for nefarious means. Could you imagine a war mod on these sneakers? They'd have to call it "War-Jogging" or somesuch.
I've been saying for years that one of the most difficult things in adopting Linux, for Windows users, is an unfamiliar interface.
While running it under a PC emulator is all very well and good, it runs at a fraction of the equivilent speed it would run at on the host system.
Thus, a false observation of either speed or efficiency would be made, since the equivilent system would create so much lag. If you ran, for example, Open Office on a PC emulator as opposed to Win32 native, to demonstrate it for a client, they would say, naturally, that it is crap, because most pointy haired bosses don't know the restrictions involved. Sure, you could set up a seperate system, but they would respond negatively, thinking a seperate system would be the sum total of the case for upgrades.
However, if you can sheer away those limitations so it would run under Linux/Win32 accordingly, logic would dictate that without a hardware emulation platform as the intermediate limiting factor, and thus, the response would be more appropriate.
This reminds me of a flaw in oldschool Sony walkmen. The headphone jacks used a bent wire contact, which was prone to bending, naturally, causing major problems once you had plugged headphones in a few dozen times.
The usual headphone jacks would use bent metal strips, for those who don't know. They would wear down, of course, but you still had a relatively large surface area for the contacts.
Because someone who didn't know better opened the attachment.
I've been getting delivery failure e-mails over the last few days because my e-mail addy is in their address book. And believe you me, I checked every conceivable virus scanner on the web.
The specific worm in question is Worm.SomeFool.Gen-2 , according to the last dozen or so messages.

Um, forget I just said that.

Or did they expend $200,000 ON a grad student?
Hi, I noticed you're attempting to open fire. Would you like to:
A: Declare war!
B: Send a bouquet of flowers?
C: Trigger the ship's self destruct?
D: Open the e-mail attachment titled "HotPix.pif"?
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of- Not in the face NOT IN THE FACE!!!

"moving the first all European mission into space one step closer."
Should read as "All European manned mission".
The ESA's been doing space missions for what, over 10 years now? Satellites, probes, etc.

This should be the rule. Hire on coders to just sift through all the data on previous applications and operating systems.
Streamline or fix code that was carried over into subsequent versions, close off those damnned security holes.
Take what you've compiled by sifting through that code, and make THAT your next OS.
All it seems, for the most part, is coders trying to reinvent a wheel while ignoring the 6 foot wide potholes in the road.

Take a gander at the center of the crater. How many folks familiar with wind eroded ice recognise that kind of formation?
There's a simple explanation for this:
The majority of humans in the world are stupid.
Therefore, majority rules.
Is a scanning red light on the front, and they'd have Knight Boat!
As long as there's always a canal, that is.
And you can get two sets of skidmarks for the price of one!
Mannnn, did the author of that piece miss the perfect title.
He should have called it "The Gaps of Wrath".
Appropriate, yes?
While it was cybernetically linked, this kind of thing was predicted with the YF-21 (the wings/rudder/tail would morph upon the pilots command).
It was called Quest for Fire, the prequel to end all prequels for terrestrial sci-fi.
I hear Burger King is a great source for manufacturing jobs, according to Bush.
I'd have to say it sounds more like Family Guy, in "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", where Peter buys volcano insurance.

The only solution would be a driver hack, which would make you a criminal for wanting to view the DVD you legally purchased.
Yeah, it may be redundant, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
How about the pills Tetsuo was on in the manga?
I'd buy that for a dollar.
