Once they've got your biometric data, how secure are they going to keep it? Unlike a password, it's not possible to change your biometric data if someone steals the gym's files and uses it to spoof other systems.
He's just out-of-sorts because he's currently playing a game and stuck on the Big Boss at the end of a level. Once he's past that, he'll be happy again.
Sounds like the same old Game Play vs Bells & Whistles debate again.. and again..
Beats me, but I won't argue. I thought it was pretty obvious that the server could dynamically return a different Server: line depending on the browser type. (Unless you actually do use MS IIS and don't have the source code.)

After people have paid good money to cheat their way up the ranking, they get upset when Google changes the rules. Oh well.:)
For extra fun, configure it to say that's it's Microsoft-IIS/6.0 only when the MSNSearchBot comes a-crawling. (Honestly, some people and programs think strings like those are handed down from the NetGods and can't be changed on a whim.) MS can, of course, have their crawler lie about who it is, but that just makes it easier to block it for (even more) bad manners.
Pity. I was imagining companies that made money as character assassins, with swarms of really awful pages that would suddenly add links to a victim site. (ISR, Goatse links YOU!)

Since an entire industry of sleezeballs has grown up around tweeking* Google page rank, I expect that we'll see quite a few lawsuits over Google changing how they figure out what order to present search results. (There have been a few over previous adjustments.) Whine and cheesed sleezeballs. I'll stick with the popcorn and beer, thanks!
* When I say sleezeballs and tweeking, I mean the people who will try outrageous stunts to game the system, rather than the consultants who will help you increase rank by the stunning tactic of actually improving your site. Radical, but sometimes it works.
Illuminating is nothing. They need to project advertising and video. I'm sure that accuracy will increase, especially with "targeted" ads, and even when the video isn't visible (due to a seated delivery position), the flickering glow and audio from below will have a significant relaxing effect.
It's been an IT glut for years now. Now that the glut is affecting the enrolement rates (because people aren't stupid), the ITAA is in full panic spin-mode.
Even training is a bit of a myth. Anyone who's good should be able to adapt and learn on the fly, and usually ahead of the company where they're working. The jobs posted these days that are specific down to the (idiot) application program level rather than language or OS make it difficult to be a pre-ready match for anything unless you are already in a job exactly like the one they're hiring for. (If then. With the wish list items added, no one is qualified.)
Having a central feed makes it too easy to re-write history.
That depends on how much content is in the feed. The ones that just send a title and a link (boring!) can be, but many have most of the text and can be archived.
Of course, if there was a distributed system like NNTP, it would be even harder for a central system to control the flow.

I manage to travel through time and appear a day later without any discovery or device at all.
If it's not possible in script, then one change and one recompile. That's not exactly the twelve labours of Hercules!
The original Macs reversed completely! :)
But the important thing is that you tell them that it was IIS that said it to them.
Sweet lies.

Add something like this pseudocode to your server:
if $Browser = "MSNSearchBot" then $Server = "Microsoft-IIS/6.0"
Maybe they didn't remove them on purpose? They might be using VSS for version control.

I'm sure we'll see the 64 bit malware soon enough. (And if it wants to pull down stuff like the .NET 2 beta, it should be quite an exciting install!)
Ah good, that makes me feel much safer! Just one question, what does the button on those toilets that seems to be marked "sterilize" do?
I don't think I'd feel safe if I dropped the soap in that bathroom.

It could be worse. Just think of how old you'll feel when that Punch the Monkey banner ad is 10 years old.
I know who's not pointing fingers.
Yup, it's that new Fatkins diet thing.

Aha! Now RSS has the main driving force of the Internet behind it.
And then Google will pick up those news groups and provide a RSS feed .. round and round it goes!

I await any offers.
