OK, this will likely be modded as a troll or flamebait, but the parent's a fool.
but disallowing anything remotely associated with communism or Islam
http://www.cpusa.org/ - The Communist Party of America would likely disagree with you. As for disallowing anything involved with Islam, I advise you to look at the mosques a few miles from my house.
If you're going to criticize the US and be isolationist, at least get a real reason before doing it.
English teacher Christy Wagner said her students suddenly became "irritable and easily distracted" and that she herself felt nauseous whenever she was at the school Since when have English students not been irritable and easily distracted?

Yeah, and I'm sure that if Palms had to deal with having CE overhead, they'd have considerably more powerful CPU's in them, too.
> consider how successful the GameBoy has been at wiping out game consoles.
Except for the notable facts that Gameboys are only made by Nintendo (as opposed to Palm, Handspring, Compaq, Casio, etc.) and that besides the GBC, the GBA was the only really notable advance in Gameboy-related tech since its introduction, what, maybe 10 or so years ago (unless you count them getting slimmer, which I, frankly, don't)
Which is great for the people that have already committed a crime. As it's been said - all the terrorist would have to do is keep out of FBI files until the act itself...
Why not just have a database of terrorists, wanted criminals etc. At a security checkpoint your face is scanned and compared to those in the database.
This way you have a much smaller database that is easier to replicate as it changes.
Well, then you've go to deal with the fact that there's always gotta be a first offense... People don't come out of the womb terrorists - they have to start somewhere.
I'd suspect that a significant reason for it not being more widespread would be airports afraid of lawsuits related to it. In a country where a lady spilling coffee on herself that was (gasp) hot can sue and make millions, what do you think some people are gonna do the first time they get escorted by security and miss their vacation flight to Bora-Bora...

Y'know - the worst thing about this is - everytime you post it, I get that damn song in my head.
I did read the article...
My point is that just because there could be billions of Earths, sure as hell doesn't mean there are.
Slashdot's proof of this - there's billions of trolls, but that doesn't necessarily mena there's anything worth reading.
Billions and billions of Jupiters...
If only we could live on Jupiter
Wake me up when we find billions of Earths...
Remind you Office Space?

Whoops - my mistake... I'll learn to read eventually, I promise!
C++ code? Nope...
Not ANSI code, but it is C...

Oh... I see... my mistake, then...
> you could then ignore me as well.
I'd rather not, thanks. I was making a joke - if you didn't care for it, there was no reason to flame me for it.
>moronic replies from people who think I am moronic.
You forgot from moronic people.
And what was so profoundly stupid about it that you felt the need to flame?

Yes, they would. If they worked. Anyone with a hat and sunglasses could fool it. This is not to mention lighting and the like...
No way! Enemy of the State was a documentary!
It was a joke - relax.
Mission Impossible 2 also tried to show Tom Cruise capable of anything other than sitting and looking pretty.
Besides, I thought I remembered hearing of gov't satellites that could make out your hand of cards if playing outside... Am I misinformed?
