"The Redmond company believes that catching the students early on will turn them into life-long users of Windows Live. They would likely create a Windows Live Messenger account, start a blog and organize their favorites under this e-mail account -- especially if they plan to continue using it, Microsoft says."
If this is what they believe then people on AOL/Hotmail wouldn't have shifted to other web email providers. I personally shifted to Yahoo mail when it came and then to GMail. Call me fickle but I know a good service when I use one.
Now, that's a give-away. Now that this new technology doesn't require new DVD players, I say, what stops us from making a copy of it during the first and only play that it allows? Admitted, not everyone will be able to make it. But not everyone is as aware of their digital rights, privacy, blah, blah like the/.ers:) Atleast, the/.ing l33t crowd can rest assured that nothing can come in their way of perpetual record of their p0rn.
>even if it is encrypted. nothing's completely unbreakable.
This arguements that "nothing's completely unbreakable" seldom fails to sicken me. Why do you think that some unscrupulous google employee is going to spend even five minutes to browse through 1000s of emails of some tom.dick.harry@gmail.com account to find crucial personal data. That's some serious Narcicus Syndrome you are going thru buddy. Grow up!
On the other hand, seems like, they are depending too much on residues left on the luggage by the handler who loaded the explosives. Couldn't it be a possibility that the bombs(what else?) have been neatly packed and the luggage loading handler hasn't come across any residue? Or let's say it's an assembly line where the next handler who hasn't touched the explosive closes the luggage.
These people are so very much more insightful than an ordinary man on this subject. What are the chances they'll give their game away when you do public announcements on the advancements of explosive detection??
I am guessing that the first edition of such devices are going to be prohibitively expensive. Yes, I have RTFA. Taking it a bit farther, I am guessing that, here in India, anyone who can afford that kind of a device will easily be able to afford to have a 24x7 nurse look after him. Guess what he's gonna choose?
What, may I ask, stops them from having some program inside the hardware that'll perform a harakiri on the hardware if it smells foulplay? That'll be a true-blue self-destructing blu-ray player, IMO.

Agreed. But careful with that McDonalds comparison.
You don't want a woman with a tag "1 Billion served...":D
..and how long can it hold it?

A person will have to be a pretty good cunning-linguist
to operate that thing with one's tongue!
If they inject the cells from those mice into
us, we'll grow mouse parts if amputated??
Mosquitoes don't breed in salt water. Duh!
Plus,
1. books don't need no boot-up time.
2. Turning pages won't cause RSI.
But one benefit of reading long text on
computer is the Find capability.

Rats can multiply 1000s times faster than the rate at which you can have new backups.
The solution lies in hiring a pied-piper, really.
...Who'll buy google next.
That had to be said.
Dude, Where Are You? :)
Figured, this was a sureshot way to get ur attention

It's only radio machinery.
btw, is this FP?
Am I glad that our atmosphere doesn't excape the earth at that speed or what!
MOD ME UP!!
So much for modesty.

In soviet russia, vi users are keyboard manufacturers :)
And it's such a pity that they don't believe
there is life on earth outside of America.
