I don't think this technology would be popular in a "Creationist State"
Forcing children to walk through radio fields strong enough to remotely power up electronic circuits shouldn't be accepted for health and development reasons. (we may think test scores are low now, but imagine...)
Hopefully people in general will be smart enough to keep RFID as a technology to track materials and products only.
BB guns were fun when I was small -- I never owned one, but neighbor kids from hunting families did -- my family generally avoided guns
one day they were doing target practice on a row of cans with 50-80% success rates and they let me try -- I hit every can -- I think they gave up on the sport after that:(
Just buy a Keyboard-Video-Mouse (KVM) switch and keep your old PCs -- this can be useful for those times when people ask for help with Win311, 95, etc and all you have to do is power up the right PC and follow along.
I'm looking forward to when multi-terrabyte HDs are available for $60 at MicroCenter. (I'll need about 4TB to back up my current purchased collection (uncompressed)) -- it would also be nice to select a movie from an intranet database and click on play and it plays from the HD (I have the technology, just not the space for this to happen for all of my DVDs) -- hopefully in a few years...
Do what you can to get these files copied to CDR and HD. Hire a college student to debug the file format and convert to RTF or other current format. (I did that a long time ago to convert a directories of Olivetti typewriter files to RTF -- it worked ok for small files)
Make a new username such as ConfigEdit and assign ownership/read/write permissions to that user. Make sure that administrator and other users are not owners and have only read access to the hosts file. Email programs hopefully don't try to re-assign file ownership.
I found that I can use Windows Movie Maker 2 to encode 30 minute sitcoms down to 32MB I believe (using 143Kbps encoding) for pocketpc -- I'd guess that a similar option is available to this article's PDA if it has some kind of media player. 4GB can holds lots of 32MB and 128MB (movies) so you wouldn't have to swap out programs like I have to.
I think Yahoo's spam filtering is also human powered. It seems to be contantly getting better. I signed up for webspace with them ($20 per month) and get a lot of POP3 2G email accounts; their spam filter gets most of the spam and then I mark spam that is remaining in the inbox. Lastly I check for false positives and occasionally download the highly spam free email messages once a month or so using POP3 (I usually just use the web front-end for daily email access).
More prior art: A co-worker of mine has a working application that runs as a priveleged user and is used to start and stop custom NT services after receiving RPC calls from a client application that we are using so that we don't need permanent admin access to start and stop the services. This was a result of Sarbanes-Oxley -- I miss the good access I had in 1999 when I was the DBA, sysadmin, developer, etc. Now I'm only the developer.
The Catholic Church was once known as The Church until people started wanting divorce and had other issues. All Christian churches are a subset of Catholic or Orthodox churches.
Is there software that can play these files from the HD? (including menus?) -- I bought 400+ DVDs -- I'm just hoping that my DVDs last long enough until terrabyte storage becomes cheap and common. (I'll still buy new DVDs but would like to backup what I have -- having my own on-demand movie server to go along with my personal IMDB-like database would be fun)
All of the machines you mentioned are expensive including from the point of view of a middle-class member.
Many people have one expensive hobby.
It's recommended that anyone who has to raise themselves above others by using phrases like "piss-poor white trash" should not bring up the concept of IQ as yours for example, is a shining double digit example.
I didn't get mail from them (I open everything so I can decide if the paper gets recycled or shredded) -- I did get a check for under $1.00 once this year (some phone company settlement or something) - I didn't cash this because I wasn't directly their customer and didn't want to inadvertantly make some kind of agreement by signing the check.
It would be entertaining for some magazine to ask Will Smith how he feels about the RIAA using his name and product in this manner.
Willennium is now synonymous with dumping unwanted product to satisfy a court order that any further attempts could easily be referred to as "pulling a willennium".
My copy of Office XP would sometimes require reactivation after I temporarily turn off ethernet so that I can safely check email (prevents some email from "calling home"/validating an email address)

Most LCD projectors have VGA-in which may be good enough?

I think many people in the US would prefer to leave other countries alone, but history has shown that that hasn't worked out well either.

Imagine the scene of someone losing power to their Segway and traveling at 60 mph.
Problem is that Ewoks move around to much -- especially when you don't want them to

People at this level are not paid to think.
Imagine if the McD's cashier suddenly grew a brain and refused to sell an extra Big Mac to a spherical person out of true concern for her heath.
It is good to see that these leaders have to follow their own rules -- for once.
Win31 had copy/paste operational between applications, easy add-ons like fonts, printers, etc., -- way back then!
I see you're good enough to see that a few members of the Muslim group are causing trouble but couldn't extend that idea to Christianity. Why?

Just the facts.
I didn't get mail from them (I open everything so I can decide if the paper gets recycled or shredded) -- I did get a check for under $1.00 once this year (some phone company settlement or something) - I didn't cash this because I wasn't directly their customer and didn't want to inadvertantly make some kind of agreement by signing the check.
I don't move often and open every piece of mail - I didn't get it (I haven't bought many CDs recently, so I don't feel too bad about it)

I didn't.
Maybe something like RSS could be extended to work like usenet where the headlines are cached locally and updated in a distributed manner.
