You are letting the clutter grow while hopping for the best.
An addres of any importnace should be in an address book, a phone number in a contacts list, important messages should be archived in a way that are easy to find and contextualize (by project, date, etc).
Tokens of this kind are now regularly used in any company that provides remote access to their employees and is serious about security.
Tokens are small, unobtrusive and some of them don't even require your interaction, you just type the number you see in the LCD display and that is it (they are not connected to a USB port).
There are many converts of all so called races, skin colour, nationalities and of course ages.
If you are going to have blanket, aimless searches, then they have to be aimed at everybody, because there is not such a thing as a typical terrorist, or a typical Muslim.
You would know that if instead of rainting about PC you had travelled around the world a bit more.
Spain was targetted because the then President of the Spanish government, Jose Maria Aznar (whose party members have a rosy view of the period of the dictatorship under the fascist general Francisco Franco) was second poodle to Mr Bush. We all know who was the big poodle.
Al Qaueda in all its madness has mostly stuck to attack interests of their named enemies.
It is very easy for you to dismis such a thing, for us foreingers living in the UK sometimes it is a real drag to get out of bed when one see the incompetence and racial bias of the UK police.
Hackers are begging to be allowed to play with this thing. That would create the momentum for great games and applications.
If Sony had half a clue, they would open and encourage development for the PSP, it could so easily become the defacto standard for portable, converging devices that it is tragic how they insist in closing the firmware with each new release.
The lessons of the IBM PC and Linux have not sinked inside the skulls of SOny executives, technical leaders and marketroids.
They will pay the price in the marketplace for such momentous lack of application.
I have, and let me tell you that some of them are the works of anonymous geniuses.
The photographs you have seen of some cave paintings can't properly prepare you for the reality.
I think youre example is very unfortunate. Most cave paintings are found at a time when Homo Sapiens was tens of thusends of years old as a species. Cave painting is high culture with few means.
The timeframes of painting and video games development are completely unrelated.
Popular entertainment is trivial and disposable. But it is not culturally insignificant.
Art that is worth anything requires your involvement, it requires that you do some work from your side. It requires that you interpret it in some way.
That is the only real difference between art that maters and art that doesn't.
The use of the highbrow term is very idiotic and unfortunate, but ther is no question that if somebody wants to understand art that makes humanity thick he has to sit down and learn new things. THis has nothing to do with social class or bank accounts, but with interest and curiosity.
Unfortunately one of the things that is suppressed in people of poor backgrounds is the desire to learn and their curiosity (when you are more worried about paying the rent, considerations about art certainly are not very pressing).
Several cities have found, to their surprise, this to be the case. Orchestras pull more listeners in a season than professional sports during the same period.
That is why any medium city nowadays has an orchestra (heck, Mexico, a relatively poor country, has at least one on each state).
But thoroughly enjoy Italian, German and French Opera. As do many people without much language knowledge of these tongues.
I could go on a long tirade about why this is possible, but I'll leave it there. You complete mischaracterization of opera lovers is silly and shows a great deal of ignorance.
Mozart's operas where the popular music of his day.
Back on his time he had to pander to his rich sponsors (royalty, the church to a lesser extent) in exactly the same way as today's composers and performers look at the support of welth individuals, corporations or the state.
But that does not mean that he was appreciated only by those people. In particular the operas had a wide popular appeal.
Western classical music is seen or perceived as high brow outside Europe (including the god old US of A to my surprise and dismay) for no factual reason whatsoever.
In Europe (have you ever been there?) classical music is a very afordable entertainment. You can pay as little as 15 or 20 US$ for a concert with top performers. I have been to concerts by all the great orchestras and performers you care to name (Placido Domingo, Cecilia Bartolli, all the London Orchestras, Berlin Philharmonic, Viena Philharmonic, Maurizio Polini, Eugeny Kissin. You name it) and never ever had to pay more than 50$ (for the most expensive ones, the norm is around 20).
Also classical music CDs are amongst the cheapest ones, even new releases.
And lastly, if you meet people that enjoy classical music, you know that such gross mischaracterization as rich and pretentious is unfair and idiotic frankly.
Where you got the idea the Mozart, the most popular of classical composers, is revered only by rich people, is beyond me.
Nowadays rich people are sports stars, politicians and showbussiness people. If you are telling us these individuals go to a Mozart concert at all, forget the ridiculous circumstances you describe, I frankly think you should get out more, perhaps to a concert where Mozart music is performed.

Hoarding movies just because is a waste of time and money.
... that delivery of email *is not* guaranteed, do you?
The fact that you send it does not mean that the recipient received it.
If you want a verifiable paper trail you need either, er, paper documentation, or a secure means of communication (perhaps PGP signed email).
Your justification is bull and the other party can deny they ever received the emails and you would have no leg to stand on.
Once a month?
Once a year?
Almost never? (most likely).
Memories are overrated.
Most people chose a few pictures here and there, frame them and forget about all the other hundreds that are not important.
Ditto with email.
Quantity does not make up for quality.

It does not suppor MP3 playing.
In Windows I believe it relays on codecs part of the OS as well for which MS has paid royalties already (but I may be sorely mistaken here...).
The machine could be patched whenever it rejoins the network.
I am sure even in Windows that is doable.

If your government builds up an illegal war on top of blantant lies, why should the people trust them?

Your initial reply was childish, idiotic and completely uneccessary and unimaginative.
What one would expect from somebody that feeds his news needs from the worst tabloid media.
I exsuce the other guy for briniging in to question your IQ, your initial response showed very little in the brains department.
Get your numbers straight matey.
