My brother will sure be pissed. He promised his kids the only domestic animal entering his house would either be an unicorn, an hippogriff or a dragon.
But don't worry, someone WILL find a solution on how to open that casing to replace it by a sexy plexiglass casing so you can actually see the atoms being shuffled around. It will probably involve a bathroom.
I wonder why the article is all linking back to microsoft's sites, in the WHAT YOU CAN DO section. I mean, there's bound to be more sources of information on the security Microsoft has to offer, no?

It's all down the the "why should I use linux on my cash registers? Any example of where it is working well? Any big guns using it right now?".
Most of you probably don't remember the EDI rollout.. When transactions and inventories were being standardized electronically. To implement their solutions, consultants (read: sellers) needed to provide living examples of how this technology can help them.
Same thing for the "upgrade" to Linux. Business want good solid examples of "leaders" not in the high-tech industry. Just like that "Microsoft Battles Free Software at Pentagon" story (which I'm going to read next! promise!) would be a good blow against MS for someone who wants to sell a Linux solution.
Forget words. Use pictograms. They are much more intuitive. (or if cryptic enough, force you to read the manual)

Who can say what a real research is before we can find the final product? Who knows what applications or concepts can be extracted from what a research finds?
Scientists do not research for profit, or for launching things in space or for making the big bucks.

... then some kind of unicorn or dragon

Just wait! They're currently planning the Solid Gold version, and there's a sexy Titanium model on the way!

No, I want it BIIIIIIIIG. (insert Xbox controller joke here)
That reminds me of a hardware company a couple of years ago.. 3Dfx?
Maybe the marketing guys migrated to sony when 3Dfx got bought. ("We have designed a chip so poweful it could end world hunger".. yeah yeah yeah)
Yup.

That movie was even worse than Millenium.
But it was nice to see those fights.
That black woman doing a kick, turning into a 6 foot tall bearded stunt man.
Well, they were also using her Email, which is a bit more personnal.
Jane Doe is Jane Doe.. but jane.doe@mydomain.com is usually one specific jane doe. I think that was the case for miss Achille

Chemistry is about blowing things apart.
Physics is about crashing them together.
Or on another thread...
The chemist is the one washing the beakers.
The Physicist is the one greasing the springs.
If you prove that God exists, he ceases to exist because he is based on faith.

Anyone know when they are going to integrate Lotus Sametime in that "possible holy grail of IMs"?
I can still log on to AOL and Sametime with the same application. (version 1.5.5)
MS invades Cuba? MS monkey colony on Mars!?!
HA!
I'm saving this page somewhere secure and we'll see if it was just a joke or a PROPHECY!!

Of course now that the counter is at

anyone remember the link to the %/bandwith european map? That could be useful now.

Actually, Gillett's has a pretty interesting titanium information page.
That meteor style ring rocks, btw.
Colors are silver, blue, purple or iridescent.
With its cheapest band around 100us$, I wouldn't really call it "expensive".
Learn to spell correctly? .com company, just a few stories ago.
That's how all the fish fungus afficcionadoes got sued by some animal's warezh0use
So let's NOT use the right company name and use L33t spelling to avoid the court!
On topic? nah.. got nothing to say. But it was an interesting read.

Cannot use Lynx for hotmail anymore, unfortunately.
Is that still true for Links?
Is KaZaa still a Dutch company (according to the CNET article) if they are now in Australia?
Or are they talking about a different kazaa?

It always cracks me up to see AES and DES stuff.
Studying in physics may have been a factor.
