A net message popped up telling us how to get college degrees for only $20, and PhDs for something like $50.
Its only a matter of time before we start getting spammed on our cell phone SMS services. (they do that, and I'll go to their office and personally demand they pay me the $.02 it costs me to recieve their messages)
The fact that the lead character overcame his supposed "genetic flaws" was the point in the movie. We are not our DNA. He showed that he was better than his "superiors" and even overcame his "genetic fate" (living past a certain age).
I agree though, I think both situations are pretty scary. I hope I'm not alive to see a day where I have to give my DNA to get a job. Its bad enough to give my resume:).
That must have been a pain to get the timing down right. I could have a full signal on my cell and still get "tick...tick....tick...tick" when I try to call someone.
Makes you wonder if that transceiver wasn't giving everyone a brain tumor.
I actually have one of the old Gemstar eBooks (back when they were Rocket Ebooks)... they read very well, unless you're in sunlight (and thats only because you have to deal with your reflection and glare)... the backlight on those things is awesome though.
Its a shame they don't make books for them that much anymore.
If there was a software that replaced sysadmins, wouldn't it be the job of the sysadmin to install it? "What're you gonna do if I don't install this? Fire me?"
If you want to check out Linux without potentially killing your computer (and if you're a linux newbie this is very possible) either download Knoppix or something like Suse LiveCD. These run directly off the CD and do not require you to repartition your hard drive and the like. If you don't like them, take out the CD, delete the temp files (if you choose to make any), and go back to Windows.
Just an addendum, a lot of older CD-writers (like mine) will not burn Knoppix since it is 700MB.
Or try the new Gentoo and play some UT2003 while you're at it.
"No! Don't spill Coke on that! Auuuugh you just wiped out all of World 5!!!!"
Really though, if the games were printed on cardboard with dots so small you can't see them with the naked eye, wouldn't that mean that the slightest bend or fold in the cardboard would destroy the game?
I had never heard of this before now. I'm 54% on the Knoppix after being disappointed with UT2003 (damn my ATI card!) The coolest thing I've seen is the fact that you can tailor Knoppix to your needs and then remaster the CD. Thats pretty sweet.
Nice idea unless you're a hard drive manufacturer

UT2003 LiveCD

Most of my hard drive is dedicated to games. The same games that would probably run alright from my 46X CD-ROM drive, but they insist on taking up precious gigs of my hard drive anyway. I always wondered, if gaming consoles can run off of CD fine, why can't PCs?
Thanks for answering my question Gentoo. Now how about a full verstion of UT 2003? And where is MS with an LiveWindows for those that are still too afraid to program in Linux?

I already get this in the computer lab at school.

You can loose a bladder I think. Sort of like "let loose a bladder."

How about an eBook Reader?
"Surround sound is going to be increasingly important in future offices"
Actually, the article is FULL of horrid predictions IMHO. Especially the office being dark and hushed? So we'll get eye strain? Great idea!
ESP.
Microsoft's new anti-piracy campaign will be "don't even THINK about copying this CD" and they mean it.

$15,000 to destroy my car? I could do that for free! And I'd save the $15,000 (that I don't even have) for a NEW car.
Try typing
modprobe emu10k1
after doing the pci-setup.
I'm not sure that works, I have an SBLive myself but I don't have an NVIDIA card so I couldn't run UT2003 anyway.
No.
Thats the exact same @$&$! burner I have.

Or burn the captured videos to VCD and watch them on your DVD player?
Have the OS change its name every 2 years and charge $90 to your credit card.
Oh wait, they're already planning on doing that.
Ah, but how did it GET mono, thats the question! A little under-the-bleachers necking with MS?
... $10 says it'll STILL ship with 8 megs of memory.
Unless its cracked, I don't see whats good about it. "I want to see a low quality version of Harry Potter tomorrow, better start the download NOW."
Movie rental and pay-per-view still reign supreme.
Ouch.
Microsoft didn't put Linux on the X-box.
It requires a MODIFIED X-box.

Uh, the dreamcast has already been done.
