Another quote from that story... I could go to my grave, and my tombstone could say, 'Here lies the dumbest CEO ever to live. He chose not to sell to Wal-Mart.' I wasn't condoning nor condemning nVidia's move, just pointing out the similarities.... or maybe a more accurate analogy would be 3dfx failing to get the SEGA Dreamcast chipset contract.
Shouldn't we pushing photons over glass by now. Fibre infrastructure has existed for decades now, isn't it time it was scaled down to individual computers and appliances?
I remember both Apple ][ and Commodore floppies would seek past the end of the rail to recalibrate track 0. The apple made a noise on power up but 1541s made a scary noise whenever formatting a new disk or trying to recover a read error.
After a while the rattle actually threw the head out of alignment as the pulley was slipping on the axle. I connected the read head to the microphone input of a tape recorder to listen to the signal strength as I adjusted the stepper motor alignment.
After a while the screw threads were worn and I had to tap&die them. Then I got tired of realigning the heads and drilled in a cotter pin to stop the pulley from slipping.
I had an idea like this once for responding to phishing e-mails. A phishing URL would be submitted and a fake identity would be created using a database of first names, last names, street names, cities, states, zip codes, etc. A phoney (but real looking) SNN and date of birth would be created as well as any other information. The form would be submitted and the fake identity would be stored in the phisher's database. Repeat this a few thousand times and the database's value would drop. Get enough people using this program and submitting phishing URLs and phishing in general would get harder to do successfully.
Sadly, I never implemented this idea so it can't be claimed as prior art.
AA419 had similar programs (Muguito, Lad Vampire) to "flash mob" scam sites and DDOS them into exceeding their bandwidth quotas. There was also some tools to fake-fill web forms as you mentioned above.
Perfect example of where science becomes something to be feared: - To those unbelieving of global warming (generally conservatives), the science indicates it may be real - To those believing in global warming (generally liberals), the science cannot demonstrate it beyond a doubt Science serves neither, so both sides will try to suppress it.
The Cash Register Chorus (Money), Clockwork chatter(Time), Radio Tuner's Tune(Wish You Were Here), Busy Signal Ballad, Operator Ode and Long Distance Lyra(Young Lust) are saved for the ages.

Apparently, some scientist from UK and Finland.
Is the order of magnitude these heads have traveled (in a circle).

There seems to be a lot of similarities to the Snapper Lawnmower story.
"Jim Wier believed that Snapper's health -- indeed, its very long-term survival -- required that it not do business with Wal-Mart. "
Failing that, drugs and a $5 wrench. [xkcd #538]
Seems to do what's needed.
On a related note, has someone combined x86 emulation and WinE into a single package for Andro?
"Damn you autocorrect!"
Motormouthing?
Verbiage?
In any case, 'some strange usage of the word "throaty" that I wasn't previously aware of'.

Good times.
The newest camera / smartphones have GPS chips to geotag pictures so they can be overlaid on maps. For GPS-less cameras:
EXIFtool
GPSbabel
Have a GPS device turned on and logging tracks, take pictures, use the tools to add geotags to pictures.
Isn't there a law that mandates all official government written communications should be recorded?

Nope. Contact-less is a US thing. Europe uses chip and PIN.

Science has this annoying tendency to reveal facts, and when these facts clash with one's ideology, it makes them uncomfortable.
Repeat that enough times and science becomes something to be feared. Can't have science go and ruin one's world view.

The GPS is owned and operated by the United States Government and the Department of Defense. Good luck with that.

There doesn't seem to be any Amanda servers for Windows, only clients.
Agree, but I prefer http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ -- less powerful but plays nicer with Windows native APIs
