It's not worth the effort. We need a template. Something about the obviousness of the theses. The nice bit of self promotion at the top of it. etc. etc.
I have a handicap that doesn't interfere at all with using a computer. I'm partly blind in one eye (vision is 20/200 (the other eye is 20/20)), the result of a playground disagreement many years ago. I can't see stereo very well, but then, the computer screen isn't 3-d, is it? So while I am handicapped enough to fill a spot on the EEOC forms, I'm not handicapped enough for it to interfere with my work, or to require accessibility features.
Plays hell with my ability to play, however. Try swinging a bat at a baseball with one eye closed. Or hammering nails.
Why didn't I think of this. It isn't that difficult to do. Basically, you need an audio digitizer on the guitar. Connected to an embedded processor that will wrap the samples in tcp/ip packets. Connected to an ethernet port. If you don't mind a big box hanging off the side you could do it with 3 PC-104 cards. (The digitizer, cpu card, ethernet card.)
They aren't spraying DDT to kill West Nile. It's malathion, IIRC, which is not harmful to birds. Or, at worst, is less harmful to birds than West Nile.
The guy who invented post-it notes did it while he was on the job at 3M. All the work was done at work, using 3M's equipment and supplies. He's never complained.
You seem to be complaining that companies own the products that we are producing for them and for which we are paid.
I'm with Comcast, in Reston VA, and I did not want to go back to dial up. Comcast has been great. Always high speed, and I've never had any downtime. I downloaded RedHat 7.2 from linuxberg in < 1 hour over Thanksgiving weekend. (I'm not sure exactly how long it took, started download, got lunch, after lunch it was done). And they are fairly linux friendly. They don't "officialy" support it, but they use basic DHCP, so it's easy to connect. Just remember the "-h HOSTNAME" switch.
Well, the reason that aliens in Star Trek, and other Roddenberry projects, are anthropomorphic is that they are played by humans. B5 had non-anthropomorphic aliens, played by cgi.
Why? Mandrake is aimed straight at the Desktop. RedHat aims at Windows NT users. The BSD's aim at unix sysadmins who Know What They Are Doing. Open/Free/Net don't need a User Friendly graphical install interface because their current interface is friendly to the users they aim at.
There was lots of media coverage before the laws were passed. Front page stories in the Washington Post, NY Times, etc. The problem was that this law (USA-PATRIOT) went through in a few days, rather than the 3 or 4 months it usually takes most laws to go through.
Still time to do something about it though. Write (e-mail, letters may take awhile) your Representative and Senators. Get your friends to write. If enough voters object the law will be modified or repealed.
The article doesn't say they are using tcp/ip. Doesn't look like it has internet access either. Probably requires some sort of username/pasword combo (possibly built into the devices) to log on to the LAN. If the encryption is properly implemented (a big if) it could be very secure.
In addition to what has already been posted, not every meteor you saw was neccessarily a Leonid. You can see one or two meteors an hour on any night. If it's dark enough.

But isn't hacking a Bad Thing(TM)?
See this CNET article for details.
It's caused by a scar on the retina which leaves me with no central vision in that eye.
Double rot-13. I hear that's even more secure than rot-26!

Instead of just talking on their cell phones while driving, they can watch video on their cell phones while driving. Oh joy. Oh rapture. Oh ecstasy.
It's the new alternative to at home. Not sure where "seventy" is.

I just love the work they do, so I send them money every year.
That's how Rusty got noticed.
Legal language has lots of latin in it, and the words have very precise meanings.

"Alien Civilizations in a Nutshell" Then they could have put a cool animal on the cover. Now, what animal goes with SETI?

What kind of wimpy slide rule do you have? Mine is in a holster that hangs on my belt! Now that impresses that ladies!

if the transaction has the form of a sale, it's a sale.

I never have mod points when I need them.
IIRC, "Robot" is Czech for "Worker". The first work to use "robot" in the mechanical man context was "RUR"
That term was coined by William Gibson in one of his stories. I'm sure someone knows which story it was.
