that sometime before this whole fiasco is over, SCO gets all its assets seized by the government? That would really shatter their plans to make money off this thing.
One day six wise, blind elephants were discussing what humans were like. Failing to agree, they decided to determine what humans were like by direct experience.
The first wise, blind elephant felt the human, and declared, "Humans are flat."
The other wise, blind elephants, after similarly feeling the human, agreed.
Probably this will lead to the death penalty becoming the standard punishmnent for every minor crime, so as to keep the organ banks full of fresh organs, allowing rich people to live forever at the expense of everybody else.
At that point, it would probably become cheaper and more practical to simply clone the organs that are needed. Preferably from the DNA of the person who needs the organ, so to reduce the chances of rejection.
Morse Code isn't a different language. It is just a 1-to-1 substitute for the standard alphabet. Words are still spelled the same way. This is a completely different language. And it's over 4000 words, not 400.
The Epson site says there are no plans to market it. Now that we know it can be done, how long till someone re-creates it and puts up a site showing how to build one?
There was a TV movie a few years back called Project: Alf. The Tanners were in Iceland in the witness protection program (they weren't actually in the movie) and ALF was being held on an army base.
All copy-protections can be hacked, but if (we) give people what they are asking for in terms of value, they won't go out and steal it. It's called trusting the consumer.
Do my eyes decieve me? Is a music industry executive *GASP* (dare I say it?) GETTING A CLUE?
This changes everything! Up is down, east is west! Stop the world, I want to get off!

Remember the scene from X2 where Magneto pulled the iron out of the bloodstream of the guard?
Now those people selling the magnetic bracelets and insoles are going to be using this as 'proof' that their useless peices of crap really work.
I can't find the price anywhere, but it's $99.95, isn't it?

Let the "crash" jokes begin
How can any of them possibly believe that this would do any good?
Like Terry Pratchett said, the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

The fact that R2 couldn't talk was part of his charm. Think of it this way, how much more annoying would the Ewoks have been if they could talk.
Hell, it's so light, shouldn't a solar cell be able to manage it?

Oh will you knock it the fuck off.

... so very, very, very much.
It's "No boom today, but boom tomorrow. Always boom tomorrow".
You are thinking of Alice in Wonderland, and it was 'cake', not 'boom'.
What about the off chance that these two guys are brothers and they BOTH match up? :D
Like there would be anything usable left of your organs
3 out of 5 gamers agree,
It's a better cell phone than the Game Boy Advance

I want a few thousand nanomachines wired right on to the rods and cones of my retinas, telling them when to fire and when not to.
