* A mobile phone that can play mp3-files and that have memory to store at least ten songs * A mobile phone service provider where I can pay a fixed amount of money each month for "unlimited" bandwith
That way I could download songs into my mobile phone from my server at home, where I have my whole mp3-collection. I think we are almost there but I know of now mobile phone operators that have this kind of deal. Yet.
Only problem is that they are mosly useless as *ring tones*. I recently bought a Ericsson T630, a phone that has almost all the latest bills and whistles, but one thing that annoys me is that all ring tones suck! They do not ring loud enough for me to heard them. *All* previous phones I have had (different brands) have had ring tones that you could actually heard, but now that they primary use these darn.mid songs, well...
One thing that I do not understand with SPAM like this is: how the hell can the spammers think that I will answer or take action on a mail that is so obvious SPAM?

The number googol is quite easy to visualize on paper, at least the digits. Trying to visualize how much it *really* means is another story. Compare it to the estimated numbers of particles in the universe which is 10 ^ 80 or something like that.
What is even more mind-boggling than a googol is a googolplex, which is 10 ^ 1 googol (10 ^10 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000). That is, a 1 followe by a googol zeroes... Yes, I go crazy too when I think about it!
Apart from googolplex, the highest named number is actually one centillion, which is 10 ^ 600.

Well, yes it is. But the article did not say that it *was* Velcro, it just said is was turbo charged Velcro/Velcro on amfetamine:), probably to be used in totally different places though.
Btw, in Sweden we call this "kardborreband" (kardborre is a flower, look here: http://www.lysator.liu.se/runeberg/nordflor/pics/4.jpg, and "band" means, hmm, eh, band. A quite logical name for it.). Don't know what that flower is called in english but I guess most of you have got one of those stuck in your clothes or on your dog...:)

The projections could be used to encourage bone to grow onto artificial hips. They could also be used in electronics to produce heat sinks of just about any shape.
Tea has the exact same caffeine as in coffee, but most often much less (about 20%). They actually found the caffeince chemical in tea first and called it teine (spelling might be wrong), but because of the great spread of coffee, the name caffeine became the dominant one.

Scientology has even managed to copyright their religious texts
I don't mean to be a wise ass, but you don't have to "manage to copyright" anything if you live in a country that signed the Bern treaty. All creative works, written or expressed in other ways, are automatically copyrighted. Of course, if you put your name somewhere in that work, it will be much more easy to prove though.
Well, maybe you just do not have a need for it. I, on the other hand, have:
In my company (3000+ ppl) we have offices all over the globe. I work in Sweden and have contact with my collegues in Sri Lanka via ICQ or MSN. And I have to tell you, it is great! Nothing beats this for things like brainstorming, asking quick questions, just saying hello etc.
E-mail is good for things you want to archive, or when you want to CC a couple of people because you decided on something important etc etc. IM is great because it does not fill up your imbox, and most often there is a log if you want to find an old message.
Also, "Swedish English" and "Sri Lankan English" are quite different, or at least, it can be hard for us to understand each other over the phone. And of course, the phone bills, don't forget them!

I'll second that. Two years ago I started to ride my bicycle to work EVERY DAY. I'm not a overweight person, I'm quite thin, but I felt bad driving my car the 5km distance to work. Bad for the environment, expensive and bad for my health. Bad bad bad. After I had ben cycling for six months I went from 85 kg (I will *not* convert that to punds for you) to 80 kg.

Rough and ready exploit for lsh 1.4.x (other versions ?)

Yes, this 0day is real. Yes, it's pre-authentication.
Handily, it also bypasses non-exec stack protection as the
shellcode is on the heap.
NOTE: This 0day public exploit _only_ works if it's the first
thing to connect to the lshd daemon after it has been started.
Any other time, it is just a DoS. Run it a few times against
a host running lshd to see what I mean.
