Fire a burst -- the first shot's often off (especially if you're anticipating the kick or have your finger in the wrong place) but the next two or three are usually more or less in the right place.
Get a good instructor to fix your technique if you're having trouble though -- small things make all the difference.
We've come to expect decent security on desktops and servers, why not PDAs as well? At least it may make manufacturers think twice before jumping on the MS bandwagon.
not necessarily -- removing certain objects (such as the central nervous system) from the human body pretty much guarantee that the patient won't survive...
"can't be removed" -- I doubt that. *Anything* can be removed from the human body if the remover the required skill and doesn't really care about collateral damage.
I suddenly have a mental image of a Mexican criminal trying to get into a government installation carrying an arm...
Umm, not necessarily. The TV watching mode could be done entirely in hardware. The DVD player would have to have the usual firmware, of course, but not necessarily a full OS. Most of the more advanced options would be done using the PC, as noted in the article.
I don't necessarily trust simple sites more, but I'm far more inclined to use them. They load faster, there's less clutter to get in the way and I can accomplish whatever it is I'm after quicker. If www.tired.com was big and flashy I'd go away. As it is, I'm tempted to send an email, even if it's just a simple compliment on the site's design or concept.
For similar reasons I use fluxbox rather than KDE/Gnome and read a good book rather than watch TV. (Nothing against KDE or Gnome, I do quite like both of them and recommend them frequently, but for day-to-day work I prefer a mostly empty screen.)
I am quite happy to master necessary, and often even unnecessary but useful, complexity (I couldn't live without my HP RPN calculator) but I abhor wading through piles of garbage to find the stuff I need. I do enough of that already.

He's already committed "arm" robbery...
