could you detect heart rate, or whether someone is lying?
Actually, that was one of the first things I thought of, with a slight modification, showing varying degrees of Galvonic Skin [Response|Resistance|Whatever the heck it is] instead of the current on/off mode it's in now, you could make a lie detector out of this.
Just think of the tech support possibilities: "Sir, are you sure you read the manual?" "Yes" [computerized graphic of little needle going all over the place] "LIAR!!"
Call me crazy (Go ahead, everybody else does), but I doubt much if any of that disk space is for the actual driver, most of it is for those stupid utilities that don't do anything useful or interesting.
Apple didn't carry SCSI alone, the high-end market did. Right now there's only one Apple product that comes with SCSI standard (Powerbook, and that isn't even using SCSI hard drives), and you don't see SCSI dying now, do you?
SCSI is a prerequisite for anyone's 'Dream Machine', everyone WANTS SCSI, it's just that it's so expensive.
Although I don't agree with your opinion, I agree with your conclusion, firewire will not die, at least not anytime in the near future, high-end users (Which does include Powermac owners) will still see the benifits of firewire, especially since it's designed for digital video, along with computer connection.
Are you paying attention? We're talking about cheap, non-mac PowerPC computers, not macs. These things are the advantages of a PowerPC architecture and the openness of x86. These fix the main problem with Linux on a Mac, and that is the annoying proprietary ROMs that apple uses.
Well, most GPS systems were designed with this and other roll-overs in mind, and chances are very slim that they will fail. Also, you still have map and compass, gyroscope, and radio to fall back on.
Believe it or not, airlines actually flew without falling out of the sky before GPS.:)
Hey, you guys control a media outlet, so whenever you want to work on a 30000 year or whatever plan, insult the company to help lower the stock. (You guys are already doing good insulting microsoft, though)
>If laboratory work and tests in space succeed, Winglee hopes to launch an M2P2-equipped spacecraft in 10 years that would become the first to leave the Solar System.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Pioneer made it out already?
It might stop accellerating eventually, but that doesn't mean it'll stop, It's still got plenty of inertia, especially if they get the speeds their talking about.
I remember, before supersoakers came out, that my brother bought a motorized water gun, so that when you pushed the button, a motorized water pump went on and it fired. Next year, supersoakers came out, and we got a 50 I think it was, the classic size with the one tank on top, and it kicked the motorized squirt gun back to the stone age.
Note they never said, "with the naked eye", but, IIRC the great wall of china can be seen from space with the naked eye, and I think that's a little thinner than New Zealand.
Umm... Excuse me, but doesn't the entire world other than (not so) Great Britian and it's (ex-) colonies agree with us on the whole which side of the road issue?

please say I'm not the only person who automatically thought about Evergreen commandos while reading the title.
Don't forget Matrix Orbital displays for LCDProc.
What? No Alcatraz?

Then try: /proc/net/arp

Of course, this will only show hardware addresses on your subnet, not of everyone you send and recieve backets from, but oh, well.
I wouldn't say that until Apple actually ships computers with firewire hard drives, until then, it IS a step backwards.
When they cloned Dolly, my dad mentioned that it wasn't a true clone, because they didn't copy the mitocrondrial DNA, and I guess he was right.

I started building one like that, once, but It gets hard and expensive real fast.

Yes, but the virus still REPRODUCED on it's own, even if it was spread by infected files on disks or BBSes.
This is probobly a little off topic, but My US passport is written in English and French. I just thought that was odd.
Hey, I like compound words... gets rid of so many messy adjectives.
I coulda sworn it was Lucky Stripes...

IIRC, all local times were based on the city sundial, which may or may have not been correctly aimed.
Two words: "OSI Model"
(Acutally, and acronym and a word, but who's counting?)

And don't forget daylight savings, the idea from hell.
