Declare an inexistent document the ultimate reference on how to stop leaks, put references to it in selected internal documents and even build fake leaks about its existence.

There are a lot of great stories, but if you are learning literature matters maybe more how it is written than what is there. There are some authors specially good on short tales (i.e. Brown and Dick), others that shine in big books (Stephenson), some stories that are great in the middle ground (Bicentennial Man?). Also there are the topics taken that could have interest per se (Babel 17 was great science fiction about language itself, or Mimsy were the Borogoves about learning).
This ones are just the start. And you give some time to Microsoft creativity and they will do the multitouch equivalent of pressing start to end the session.
Technology is converging to giving us better reading devices, not specially for ebooks, but for amount of information need to be read anyway. Before LCDs popularized reading in CRT really sucked. Palms, big screen cellphones, notebooks, LCDs improved on that. Ebook readers, good screen resolution cellphones, netbooks and tablets, even the XO are the newest improvement in that direction. Where you draw the line? Probably depend on how much you want to read that, but for a lot the tech is already here.
In MMOs, everyone is "employed" or capable to make money (not to get rich, but still to participate actively in the economy) by themselves. Things like food or where to live are not big problems, neither is maintaining a family usually. And there aren't laws (like patents) giving individuals virtual monopolies.
But still there is commerce there, sharing several of the rules of with the real world one and behaving in good part like it.
Here the laptops were finished to deploy in all public (and a few private) schools of the country last month afaik. Not sure in how much other countries was so widely deployed. But for having "the perfect" ebook device with most school children it still don't look like is being taking advantage of that fact around here, or at least is a bit too slow yet, and i mean both from the public/education sector as from the private one.
from the typical spambot? Any big enough botnet dedicated to send spam could have millons of nodes.
Of course, most of those nodes are located in residential IP ranges, not meant to have mail servers usually. There are blacklists for that since a lot ago. That combined with greylisting (some spambots can handle greylistings, some not), and content filtering could reduce a lot the impact of that kind of spam.
Probably the time frame of the "problem" is some orders lower. For a brain that could create new senses on the fly, that probably is more related to education/culture than genes.
In my country most of the school children are already doing a sort of mini-wave with the OLPCs for realtime networked collaboration. Would be interesting to see how they evolve in that environment to see if there is hope for us.
Microsoft announced some months ago a new collaboration platform. It is based in formats that can fully be used by other vendors (and open source) systems, can be accessed by any standards compliant browser, and the data is stored in a way that you can port it fully to alternate solutions without losing anything. That day, the Microsoft spokesman told us that the next day, April 2, they will disclose pricing and availability.
The standard *nix command to tell your computer (and the rest of the world) that you are not longer you is kill. Your body could be more or less the same, but you are not there anymore. If you refuse to die, the superuser, superhero, or even the government could make sure that you are effectively dead.
Put Ubuntu 9.10 on a SSD and this new bios, and the system will be booted 4 seconds before you turn on the machine. Would be even faster than dissolving thiotimoline in water.
No, checked before putting that in other comment. IE8 Renderer is still there. You put a meta tag in your site saying that for that page the google renderer plugin must be used. So normal pages still use IE8 renderer, but you can make an exploit page with that meta tag to activate specifically the google plugin, if there is ever an interesting easily exploitable bug on it.

Is not strange the color scheme... you can see clearly now the Blue Elements of Death

Maybe a clue is that those space tourists could be Adam Sandler and Eve.

Unless whoever gets it put a big fat expensive patent around it.

Big name for just adding the "Uninstall" option to the Windows menu.

Blue Skin of Death?
In return, they could change ST opening speech with "Time, the final frontier". That would make a good part of the serie to get some meaning.

Wake me up when someone puts a cheap and easy to assemble orgasmatron or tasp. That would be the ultimate weapon to control masses.
The book was "How to serve humans"... they had to make apes evolve to get that critical piece of the recipe.
The story reminded me the Jato Rocket Car urban legend. The speed reached there is even lower than the one that got that motorcycle.
a spammer asked Google to remove thousands of gmail accounts because they received by mail a viagra offer with the wrong price.
That video will get lost there. Youtube is full of videos with extremely annoying sounds already.
... and pollster's statistics
