One time in Vegas, while playing roulette, I had a dealer tell me how he won several thousand dollars while playing at another casino. He had some friends in from out of town, and of course they wanted to go gamble... He noticed that the dealer wasn't changing the wheel speed, and wasn't adjusting his ball speed like they're supposed to. So apparently the outcome became much more predictable that it should have been.
It takes a lot of work to get the voice parts correct...
For some examples of this, and some good laughs,
listen to some out-takes from the script recording for Black and White:

One option is to go with an industrial PC chassis like one of these:

Its easier if you don't mind using a passive backplane, and a single board computer,
but some of their chassis take ATX motherboards.
They've got backplanes with up 16 PCI slots on them, and chassis with up to 20 slot holes in the back.
I've seen several places on the net that sell these exact cases at varying prices.
There's alot of comedy out there that requires a lot of knowledge of current events to see what's funny about it (SNL, most of the late night shows). This kind of humor doesn't age well. How many people nowadays would be able to laugh at jokes about WWII or even WWI era events?
Imagine how much time it'd take to explain a joke about FDR's "New Deal"...
Then there is comedy that is still funny many years after it was done. (IMHO, Marx Brothers, Sid Caesar, Monty Python, Mel Brooks...)
A lot of comedy is aimed towards the general public. The stuff that stays funny over the years seems to me to be stuff that was aimed at a more sophisticated audience. Humor that requires a bit of thinking seems to age better... (Mostly--there are exceptions, like slapstick, that can still be funny...)
I'm guessing they'll just put an ethernet jack in the seatback phone unit. Then it'll work like the box they use to provide ethernet in hotel rooms over the existing wiring. Wonder if they'll have free on the plane content like the hotels...
Give us a nice updating page with current location, altitude, speed, and an updating map like some of the newer planes I've been on.
(Not that I've been on many new planes as Northwest doesn't believe in them.)
It's against FCC rules to use a phone from a hot-air baloon, and from parachutes - both of which are not regulated by the FAA.
I think you'll find, with the exception of certain "ultralight" class hot air balloons, that the FAA does regulate hot air balloons. You need a pilots license to fly them, and the balloon itself requires regular Airworthiness certification inspections.
The frequencies that cellphones work at basically travel straight, no bouncing of the atmosphere. So a cell phone in plane at 30,000 feet can be seen by cell phone towers up to roughly 250 miles away. Approximately a 200,000 square mile area.
That's alot of cellphone towers.
The part that's still missing with a wheelmouse, is being able to rotate around any axis. This is the big gain with a real 6 degrees of freedom 3D controller.
At my last job, I made a box that hooked to a parallel port and an AT&T phone. The box was attached to the leds on the phone. By reading the parallel port, the computer could tell which extensions were in use.
Mozilla has support for disabling many javascript functions, on a domain by domain basis. It doesn't have a user interface for it, so you have to edit your prefs file manually. Here's a starting point:

The other way they track which ad generated the call, is by using different 800 numbers for different ads. This works alot better as it doesn't depend on the caller to do something.
If I accidentally dig up a cable or pipe on "my" property, more than likely I will be in trouble. I should have consulted with local and county authorities ($$$) and checked with all imaginable utility companies in order to make sure that I wouldn't be causing any problems for them. I could be held liable for the costs of repairs and be fined for such audacity.
Here in my area, you just call 800-MISS-DIG a few days before, and they'll have all the utilities and such come out and mark everything for free.
If they mark it, and you damage it within 24 inches of the mark, you pay. If they didn't mark it correctly, and you break it, they pay.
This is based on a discussion I had with the foreman of a directional boring crew doing some work for my company. Pretty neat, they can run up to a 12" pipe and only need to dig a hole in the ground every 100 feet or so.
I wasn't really fond of Oregon Trail. Lemonade Stand was my favorite. It was a neat way to learn the basics of supply and demand. It's also where I started to learn about programming. A few tweaks, and you'd be amazed how much people will pay for lemonade when it's 10 million degrees out.
Another game I remember fondly and forgot the name of, had you put together a sequence of machines, that did various things to a square part. There were machines to rotate, punch holes, and paint stripes. One part of the game, it'd show you a finished part, and you had to figure out the sequence of machines to build it.
Or another game, Omega, in which you built tanks, and wrote code to control them in battle against other tanks. Had a nice single step debugger in it too.
Mainly it comes down to what you do with the computer. Is the computer the tool, or is the user the tool?
Or somewhere between Dr Who and Star Trek, Blake's 7. (Another Terry Nation creation.)
If you don't like cheesy SFX, this is not for you.

So find an email host that has an MTA on port 25, and a MSA on port 587 using SMTP auth.
Works well to get around port 25 blocks.

They'll just move to other underused groups, and continue there... Not a big deal.

It's been happening for years in games... Ever see the Mountain Dew and Budweiser versions of the arcade game Tapper?
They'll just have to rename... how about:
acclaimster
claimster
disclaimster
exclaimster
proclaimster
reclaimster
Or making up a word, then using it like:
Cheer cleans better...
"That's because only Cheer has Liquifiber{tm}."
And only Microsoft has Windows Northern Telecom.
Another good free mail client for Win32 is Pegasus. http://www.pmail.com/
It's got a great filter setup... Even regexps.
I dunno, if I did my math right, $50K of gold is only 15.5 pounds... It might seem a bit heavy, but then they might just have an old laptop. :)
How about Terry Pratchett?
