Now if we could only enabled these RFID passports to download XML via SOAP on a Web 2.0 platform with XmlHttpRequest, Ruby on Rails would finally take off.
What's so much different between a laser-gun wielding trooper and a lightning-spell chanting wizard?
They are both focusing energy on the enemy, no?
Methinks the problem is that there hasn't been a really good Sci-Fi MMO yet. Yes I know, Anarchy Online was decent as was Planetside. But nothing on the order of WoW has ever come out.
It's a quality thing, not a fundamental human nature thing.
It's also worth noting that the media and law enforcement agencies have a wide encompassing definition for "chat room." It could be anything from IRC to IM to some PHP based web forum.
What would be interesting to know is if it was actually over open chat or if the communications were sniffed somehow. I imagine that's sensitive info that the FBI and CIA don't want to get out though.:)
I agree, I certainly started using the HTTPS version of GMail (and the contained Gmail version of Google Chat) once I knew it existed. Nice to know no one can snoop it (unless of course they have a keylogger installed).

Awww hell nah.
The expansion of space isn't governed by the speed of light.
You wouldn't be happy to find out there really is a God? :)

That's a very great argument.

Although I wonder if all the Star Trek role-players of the world would agree.

Seems like the logical place to me.
Exactly what I was thinking. Why hasn't an ATI or and AMD or an NVidia pounced on them?
The brand itself is still worth a good chunk-o-change I would think.
Tru dat. I guess I should have asked if they plan to get the numbers from NSA. :)
Who is going to willingly upload their cell num/SMS to the Department of Homeland Security?
Or do they plan to get the numbers directly from the cell providers?
Google is connecting to the whole Internet to fight a global virus infection?
MY DAY HAS COME!!! MNMUAUAUAU!
EXECUTE? [Y/N] _
Very interesting insights, thanks. :)
XP boots in about a minute, and Linux never needs to be rebooted. :)
What other applications could this have besides boot time?
Nah, I'll just sit here with my thumb up my ass and do nothing while the world comes crashing down around me.
Why the hell is this modded flamebait? Get a clue mods.
Or maybe they're just evidence of successful improvements in national security?
YOU DECIDE!!
Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Not sure, but I can't imagine it would be that hard to code up an IRC bot or AIM bot that alerts you when certain words are mentioned.
... they are going to let everyone in the area know that there are unprotected WiFi networks?
Sounds logical to me... ?
That's true on the other end I suppose. :)

Sure they say they will let Mythic retain all creative direction, but we know how that worked out for Richard Garriot and Origin Systems.
