why should the doors stop? maybe they can bounce back once, and then make some sort of "ok, now I mean business" beep, and then close for good. who's going to feel sorry for you if you get hurt that way?

without regulation, you have no legal recourse against the dishonest people. sure, an honest person would never release harmful nanotech particles into the environment, but we know that not everyone is honest, and if we don't have laws against it the dishonest ones cannot be held responsible for their behavior.
Actually, saccharin doesn't cause cancer in humans. A few years ago, it was found that the mechanism which caused the bladder tumors in rats does not happen in humans. Notice how they no longer print the warning on packages of sweet'n'low? Besides, they had to feed the rats TONS of it to get them to develop the tumors anyway.
no, silly- no need to spin the astronaut, just the air- the astronaut could enter the "dyson sphere" and it could just suck the dust off of with a hose connected to a giant yellow (or purple) plastic vacuum cleaner.
...not to mention that the legs have very little lateral stability. look at how much it wobbles from side to side -and it's not even picking up its legs!
Does anybody know what exactly those are, and how much they really help? Do they really outweigh the additional costs of replacing, repackaging, and returning old hardware? How do the size of the business and the computing environment affect these benefits? Additionally, what is the best balance between leasing and purchasing equipment -- would leasing desktops and laptops, but purchasing monitors be best, or should one just lease everything?
It's not too difficult to change a MAC address anyway. I'd think it would be trivial, especially for the FBI, to modify the MAC address between attempts.
Now what would be really spiffy would be generating MAC-specific keys, so that (combined with blocking after X attempts) no progress could be with a dictionary attack...
it probably never happened in the first place. methinks it goes something like this- joe reporter has a deadline to make, and nothing to write about. needs something sensational, turns to his fantasies, and voila! toothing!
he wasn't underage- it was his friend, whom he happened to run into and be talking to in line. they assumed that his friend was with him, and that he might be buying beer for his friend.
since when was that the "standard idea"? I think the "standard idea" of e-mail should be the electronic equivalent of mail, and what you're talking about sound more like e-telegrams.
sure, it should have some degree of backward compatibility (like another poster said, it includes a plaintext version in a separate MIME block) and should be a widely available, open format (not.DOC files or.PDF's), but other than that, it should be as close to real mail as you can get- pictures, fonts, you name it.
It doesn't do backgrounds or any of that crap. it just gives the basics- size, color, alignment, block quotes, a few fonts... the cool thing is that they've again incorporated the appropriate keyboard shortcuts ctrl-B turns on Bold, ctrl-I Italic, etc...
That doesn't add a significant amount of size, particularly in light of the 2GB you get for mail. Even slashdot supports some level of message formatting. It makes it much easier to add emphasis. If someone overuses it, blame the writer, not the application...

a memory stick slot doesn't really compare to the CF and SD slots which many PDAs have both of. One can get a CF card with a mini HD on it that can store 5-6GB, and the SD and CF cards can also function as peripheral adapters. not to mention that memory sticks tend to cost more than the equivalent amount of storage in CF or SD.

and all the paper shuffling that the computer systems are (supposedly) replacing wasn't a significant vector for disease transmission?
...or is handwriting recognition for doctors an impossibility? :)
how about we get some waterproof, sterilizable tablet PC's for the doctors/nurses?
I would rather see my favorite show die than see it in go on like this.
somebody quick! call up tom delay and get congress to stop them from pulling the plug on the show!
hey,ihavenothumbs,youinsensitiveclod!
It could also have something to do with Texas being the second most populous State. Not worth the effort to do it in Delaware or Rhode Island...
msn search appears to have this feature as well, and it seems to work better in many instances. compare this to this

vacuum? they could have mr. "i just think things should work properly" dyson design a vacuum cleaning airlock... heck, it might even be spherical!

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
