You seem to be unaware of EMP generators (portable devices that could generate huge electro magnetic pulses) that could easily be built and obtained by terrorists, not to mention from off-the shelf kits and parts.
We gonna have a car that will have a computer start it's engine. One huge EMP exploision over a major city will be enough to take out every car in town and same applies to computers, peacemakers, telephony, all the circuitry and chips.
Perhaps people should invest money in shielding for vital electronics and circuits.
finally someone put the last nail in linux's coffin. ive been having these issues for over a year now everytime i install linux - its either 2 hours struggle (literally) with X window, or some networking issue, or USB issues, or (this is the best part) - kernel panics and segfaults.
i have a xp2200 (1.8ghz) / 1gb ddr pc2100 box, which by all means doesnt _suck_ and in no way asks to be 'slow' on a bootup, but linux slackware 8.1, gentoo, and various other flavors (fbsd 4.2, redhat 7) have a tendency of startin up sendmail, probing dhcpcd client (and getting timed out eventually) and not detecting USB
not to mention - USB _is_ a bitch on slackware - i tried changing kernels, 2.4.18, 2.4.20, 2.5.59 (!!!) - the last one (and dont get me wrong, i know how to compile kernel) - after all setups and make deps and make cleans and make installs and make bzImages and make bzlilos and cp'ing bzImage to/boot/vmlinuz and pointing at it on liloconfig - no matter what i did - on a boot up it didnt detect half the mods and then i couldnt even detect my ethernet card (by some miracle, i could do it on 2.4.18)
maybe this post is misleading or 'noobish' - call it whatever you want - but my linux experience either ended up on 'no screens found' on X start (and trust me, i added screens in XF86COnfig) to segfaults and 2 hour-long installations that ended up in undetectable devices, etc.
screw this. im installing fbsd 4.3 at the moment and it better work

playing around with his GPS geektool and you can send him a boogey and redirect it to, say, 200 miles away :p
this is god damn old.

You running for a person without a life award or you just happen to be on the wrong page at the right time?
