You could equally try to argue that a driver should be absolved of all fault if he hits an adult pedestrian strolling along the side of the Freeway. Just because someone is 'old enough to know better' it does not mean they do, or that the law should not protect them. Hey, if everyone over 18 was sensible there'd be no need for this. Over here in the UK, it is a well known doctrine in Health & Safety legislation that "A fool must be protected from himself."
It's cheaper and provides hours of amusement as you try to figure out which direction is North from the moss on the trees.
Stop and ask for directions, no! I'm a REAL man.
I'm assuming SCO are going to sue themselves for collaborating with UnitedLinux. If there isn't any of their Intellectual Property in it their developers must have been lazing on their asses for a long time. OR, what if a SCO developer included some his own (Pre-United Linux) code into this in a kind of 'why reinvent the wheel' scenario? Do they sue him?
Surely it is nothing more than an arrow directing your co-workers in the direction of your genitalia.
I'm not sure what this says about people who wear bowties...
Unlimited storage? Shureley shome mishtake. I see nothing in this article suggesting that you will receive 'infinite' web-space with this camera to keep all your artistic moments for posterity.
Even if I could have 'immediate' hard copies as suggested by timothy, no one's going to give me a Tardis to keep the resulting printouts in...
Nonetheless an interesting development and I'll be curious to see how long it will take other camera manufacturers to pick up on this and do likewise.
I must apologise, I didn't realise you were from the good ole' USA. So to cheer everyone up, I'll add an inspirational quote from one of your former statesmen:
"I've heard people say that [I have a short attention span]. I don't feel I do, because when I'm interested in something I'll stay in focus as long as it is necessary... If you get off on something I'm not very interested in, it's very easy for me to block it out. It's easy for me to block things out."

Aah, there's hope for us all then.

I'm sorry, but this late on a Friday, that many TLA's in a /. article just makes me want to lie down and rest my weary head.

There's a small company called Red Hat offering free upgrades for Windows 98 users. I can't see it catching on though.

"Hey, I'm not paranoid. They're out to get me!"
But then you might get some real dope for President. Something that could never happen under the current electoral system.
This assumes that you have a brain to have an implant in...

A low voter turnout is an indication of fewer people going to the polls.

Claim that you're 'psychic'. That's bound to get you off the hook. It always seems to work for Uri Geller.

I didn't get the required Grades to go to that school you insensitive clod!
Is this, like, protection for small tins of semi-edible goop? "Please, no! Take the tinned tomatoes but don't hurt my Spam!"
Rather a severe punishment for not following protocols I should say.
I am Cornholio! Are you threatening me?
Klap. A pre-baby disease.
Crash more often I assume.
Tosser.
I haven't got any brain-wave activity you insensitive clod!
There is a rumour that a large number have already been drafted into our govenment, but I don't believe a word of it myself.
Over in England we have the rather splendid River Severn. Any relation? Mod: Off topic
