I find the 'second' type of memory wipe in the movie to be the more plausible. They inject him with a radioactive marker, then he goes to work. Time to erase his memory, they re-inject him and that takes care of any new information made after the radioactive marker. The injected stuff in the second case would probably have to be some type of nanite that can get in there and just take out the 'marked' cells.
I highly doubt we'll be able to get actual 'visuals' out of a person's head in anything resembling the near term, though.
I think it should be such that if an incoming email isn't on my white list, then it gets notified it must do a computation to email me - it must compute the full value of pi.
Yeah, that'll work just fine. Not to mention it'll be good for their computer systems - computing the value of pi tends to get rid of that spirit called Jack the Ripper, when it takes over your computer.
If any of the following symptoms occur, discontinue use of Slinky(tm) immediately: itchiness, rash, loss of breath, dizziness, blurred vision, heart palpitations
Yeah, it's those damned Klingon clock crystals...check around for a local nuclear wessel...but be careful, we ARE in situation ORANGE! Say, that reminds me, I'm hungry...*wanders off*
Is this along the lines of Windows 95/98's message, "The system is busy or has become unstable." That it can't tell the difference between those two conditions is might scary.:(
And why is that an invalid set of criteria? If your apps are slow, the end result is your computer using experience is slow. To a user, it doesn't MATTER where the problem is at.
Until we truly understand schizophrenia, we'll never be able to accurately simulate politics (or religion).
Sort of how like in the ROTK special effects situation where they had to program independent thinking in the Orcs on the battlefield, and they kept having to make them more and more stupid so they wouldn't keep leaving the battlefield.
Most movies take up that much space only when you add in all the alternate language tracks & video extras that are on the disc. You'd be suprised how small some of those movies can get when you just want one language track, and no extras. And then if you encode it in something like DivX or xvid, you can get them _really_ small.

Windows Update wouldn't be that big of a problem - that's more of a bandwidth intensive operation.
But in gaming, you'd be the Ultimate High Ping Bastard! w00t!

This is actually a good thing. Evolution in Action, man. If you're dumb enough to get hit by a quiet bus, we don't need you in the gene pool.

See, it's a win-win!
Sounds more like the rules to Fizzbin...

And I heard a gurgling sound from the audience during Episode II.
And every time I play the DVD, my cat makes the same sound as when she's hacking up a hairball, but there's never any hairball. Weird.
I'm pretty sure that was credited to 'Stormtrooper THX-1138.'
And don't forget to get your little chillin' their Teddy Wookies for xmas!
It's just like at work the other day - it was MY turn to be 'Employee of the Month,' but they gave it to some stupid inanimate carbon rod!
Stupid rod...

'Real Facts' and 'Religion'. So it's a comedy, right? ;)

Why do you NEED a reason OTHER than for sheer geekiness? Be proud of your geekiness. Revel in it! If geekiness is a crime, LET ME BE GUILTY!
Good joke, but it really makes me pine for an Open WPS. WPS was one sweet desktop.

Strange how that works, eh?
