Now if NetGear had coded it to their own NTP server it might have been a nice method to estimate how many products you have deployed on the open internet. Of course, Slashdot might then have complained about the company spying on its users.:)
Why would linux take more time to upgrade than windows? Given that your IT dept is setup to do it with some sort of automation in both cases, there shouldn't be much difference either way.
What the hell is this myth that some magic switch gets thrown that makes all of your computers stop working, forcing you to put a new version on? Don't want the new version? Keep using the old one!
Uh huh. So Dieter just hired on and needs a new computer so lets just purchase a new desktop for him... oops, I can't buy an new license. Do I a) give him the latest OS and eat the cost of supporting multiple different setups, b) Eat the cost of upgrading everyone, c) risk criminal prosecution and copy the OS? d) OSS.
Regarding your first question, some applications combining our knowledge of computing in biology is already being considered. See the following link DNA Computing
Hmmm... I don't mean to be too critical, but you're comment doesn't quite hang together... So it wasn't a failure but a "design parameter" exceedance. Sounds like a weak argument to me - especially when the rudder movements were applied by a pilot trying to maintain control of the aircraft. And, if the movements were so far outside the design parameters, why did the flight software allow those inputs to be applied?
However, I realize that aircraft design is extremely difficult. Especially when you're in an area where accidents are in an regime there is a low statistical probability of occurence with imperfect reconstructablility of the events.
Actually I recall some toy that I played with in elementary school which had small plastic bricks embedded with electronic components inside with the schematic logo printed on top. You plugged the bricks into this gridded pad. There were plain wire or junction blocks, resistors, diodes, lamps, etc. You could just plug the bricks into a schematic and power it up. IIRC, one of the corners of the gridded board supplied power.
I wish I remembered the name of the toy - it sounds like it would be fun today.
They're small enough please work on one of the following:
1) Increase durability - using the unit as a hockey puck with no worries would be nice. Waterproofing would be nice too. 2) Increase battery life - I know this isn't directly under your control, but invest in some startup battery companies or something 3) I really, really don't care for a camera, web browser, or even a color display. Just make it cheaper and watch as I buy myself and grandma one.

You forgot this benefit:
- being the customer of a giant corporation intent on locking you onto their platform while extracting every penny from your pockets.
;) of course, you may find yourself needing to replace a battery.
Have you tried burning the coal? That's pretty interactive - real time plasma effects and everything!
Try this whitepaper. If they can get into the same cost range, it sounds like a nice technology for personal electronic communications.
First, you can see what's hot lately because the same picture is repeated over your screen
Doesn't that just mean that the AD/PR campaign for that particular item has been launched?

How about hydrogen from algae?
Yes, but have you calibrated your quarter? :)
Have you tried rox-filer.
So you're saying the solution is to compute late at night with your eyes closed?
One topic that I've always thought would help your average user:
:)
Effectively using a search engine (or how to use Google
Well you just don't know how difficult it is to line your pockets while avoiding SEC investigations er... I mean maximize shareholder value.

No, instead future generations are just going to have to wonder how Monty Python predicted the rise of internet breakfast cafes.
Wow, perl 8 is out now? Last time I looked, Larry was just sitting down to design Perl 6. :)
Yes, and look for their next release Elmer

Why can't they use + - / * like everybody else?
I would argue that Security and Freedom are not exclusive at all. Furthermore, in the long run, freedom is the best guarantee of security.
Oh no, I thought you were never supposed to take stuff like that out of the packaging. :) Erm.. or maybe that only applies to Star Wars toys geeks.
10 million? Nobody should ever need to write a program with more than 640K LOC anyway!
