There was a time when employees respected their jobs and were loyal to employers and a job was for life. However employees no longer have that so employers won't have it for them either however I have seen companies where the employees and employers showed loyalty to each other, these are the people that survive bad times (personal experience) and the employees that won't get replaced by robots
Most employers/managers/corps are not evil but disillusioned by how many employees are and those ruin it for the rest
With Silicon it has to be packaged in protective plastic to protect it mechanically with the hardness of diamond the interconects could feasibly be direct as long as everything lines up imagine crystal like chips (diamonds are mostly clear) that simply lock together
I agree and we have an example already although not mechanical, Sports Drugs originally developed to aid. pilots and soldiers by the military these drugs now are used in sports to "get the edge" they corrupt the sport as some do and some don't and the field is no longer level, what happens when a paralympian get a better limb than another - already happened in running. The point is we already shun olympians for "cheating" through chemical enhancements wait till they try mechanical.
Hmmm actually i would have thought that the US dept that controls echelon or carnivor would like to eliminate SPAM to cut down on noise they have to cut through, It could be argued they are helping terrorist, Drug dealers etc by covering these messages with junk
However the point is if this guy publicly showed his product and invention even if it was copied he would still have a case in patents if he applied already and it is proven to work (note IANAL) he could then sue all those who copied the idea and recover losses/profits which appears to be the method many patent holders use these days
Alternatively If it really worked how many Slashdotters would do the Good Thing and donate it to humanity and save the planet ?
Obviously you don't write software for a living or you are still young. Its free if the time of the writer is free or not worth much. However think first software writers need to pay their mortgages, raise there kids and eat so unless that is free nothing can really be free
Agreed Not everything is recorded including software hardware glitches/begin true story While driving in my own residential street my car decided to rev >7000 rpm lift foot off the accelerator and brake - no effect - drop into neutral the electronically controlled automatic gearbox refuses and the brakes are working against the engine so i turn the engine off. Come to a stop call mechanic and he finds nothing turn the car back on and everything is normal except the burning smell from the transmission - 3 weeks later the same thing only while in neutral and stopped, this time it stops on its own after 15 seconds or so and the cause was the secondary fuel pump/end true story
The point here is the only sensor on the pump said it was working not that it had a glitch and when it stopped working the computers still said it was working so can you trust all the equipment in your car ??
The problem being there is no way to tell how old the person who checks the email address is.
Just like TV/Radio advertising I guess, they have rules and laws as to which ads can be shown and when and how accurate they must be SPAM should be regulated like this as well
In short no other advertising medium would allow this kind of content
Should we count the models our ancestors made as well not just recently built ones

In the 70's and 80's my uncles modded their cars to cruise down the streets and pick up "chicks and sheilas" I guess this is to entice the girls once in your room ?? Nahh you need to get them there first !!
The one interesting concession is that corporate licensees of Microsoft Office can now use that suite on a home computer as well.
Actually Most Software Companies understand this as the 80/20 rule (pay for the machine using the software %80 of the time and you are allowed to install on a machine which you use the OTHER 20% of the time, not simultaneously) so micro$oft is just catching up to fair use !
Actually makes me think of Andromeda [www.andromedatv.com] and the Magog Point Singularity Weapons, You have the singularity now learn to point and shoot the thing
why did they need all of that storage? Easy. Spelling mistakes in the song titles, Artist Names, Description made that many variations for the boy bands alone
Actually can you imagine if it was cheaper besides In the mail I get 2-3 a day only and they at least try to target the mailing like a marksmen using a.22 instead of the shotgun method of spammers
In the past prior to TV/Radio etc that is advertising funded entertainment the people who could did pay for entertainment to be developed. They paid composers to develop a peice of music or playwrights to create plays in essence fan-funded entertainment. Maybe this could be a way to save the quality of TV by getting Fans to say where their money goes

Too much water will kill you.
Very True - Hyponatremia can occur when the body saturates with water, causing too little sodium in the blood.
An Actor apparently died of this recently and marathon runners apparently can get this condition

Now if we can get our enlightened western leaders to do the same or better
So Is there a car with Firewire or USB connectivity from the manufacturer ?? If not how long before we see it ?
BTW I think this will be better than those in car removable hard drive solutions from 2-3 years ago
thats right and when you consider there are 250,000 stars within 250 light years of earth makes our chance of other life out there even more likely

Thanks with all the plastic (Credit cards, EFTPOS etc) I forgot what the real stuff looks like here
why did they need all of that storage?
Easy. Spelling mistakes in the song titles, Artist Names, Description made that many variations for the boy bands alone
Its only free if your time is worth nothing and see if you'll write free software when you have a house loan kids to raise
nah forget it you don't need this this starts with a GF --> Fiance --> marriage --> kids
A process most geeks/nerds will never spawn

damn Previw and submit being close together for an early morning
Remember, software engineering is as much planning and design as it is actual coding.
And that is why most are programmers (Code Monkeys) and not Engineers
BTW how many have actually written code they would stake their professional reputation on given it would be used in a life threatening situation ?
