Couldn't you go back in time to kill your grandfather, only to have him rematerialize out of quantum randomness 5 minutes later? It's not impossible, just really improbable... maybe that's the protection mechanism.
Bah, that's nothing! Back before I had a video card with TV-out, I needed to transfer a Simpsons episode from Kazaa to VHS. So, I re-encoded the DivX to MPEG-1, burned it to a Video CD, put it in a DVD player, connected that to a VCR, and dubbed it.
Doesn't the loaves & fishes story sort of correlate with file sharing today? In that time, some people's primary income was derived from fishing or baking bread, and Jesus took the fruits of their labor, made copies, and distributed them to thousands of people.

We have Vonage at home, and I know that it's definitely not encrypted. I've played with using Ethereal to record a conversation, and it's able to decode the RTP streams into plain audio files, one for each direction. So, all you need to wiretap Vonage is a computer sitting between the source and destination.
If someone did force you to login, then they'd still only be able to log in once, because the device under your skin could have a challenge-response system that never has to output your key, ever.
what if you could make one of these devices small enough to embed under the skin of your fingertip? Then you've got something you have, something you know, and something you are, all in one place. I wouldn't be surprised to see that become a form of authentication someday.
A lot of the new and fixed stuff (including the/. rendering bug) is already available in the nightly builds. I wouldn't install a nightly for Grandma, but they're definitely very usable by anyone of sufficient geekdom:
The whole razor/blade thing doesn't make much sense anyway. The blade IS the product; you make a better razor by improving the blade. The handle is just a cheap piece of plastic that holds the blade.
Vonage is currently giving the Linksys RT31P2 to its new customers. It's a router + telephone adapter, and it automatically uses QoS to prioritize voice on the upstream. If I try to do a file upload during a call, the upload just goes slower, and the call doesn't degrade. However, if I disable QoS and try a file upload, it will sound terrible.
I can't seem to figure out who Valve is actually banning? If somebody has a pirated version of the game, then they don't even have a Steam account to ban in the first place, because the cracked version bypasses Steam!
Are they only banning people who actually paid for the game and used a no-cd crack? That's just retarded; It stops the legitimate users but does nothing about the pirates.
I think it doesn't require any special settings on the receiving end. Just add a dynamic tunnel in PuTTY, using some local port (such as 1080). Then log in through ssh, and use 127.0.0.1:1080 as a SOCKS proxy in your browser.
The only time Firefox 1.0 has crashed on me was today, right after I tabbed away from this page. It seems to be at least somewhat repeatable here. Anyone else getting the same thing?
So, IBM is taking the "Fastest Supercomputer" title away from NEC's Earth Simulator. How can NEC stand for this obvious theft of intellectual property? I sense a lawsuit brewing...
Give me lots of channels, time shifting, and the ability to buy (preferrably unencumbered) tracks out-of-band (i.e., I can browse for tracks, not just wait for them to be played) and I will sign up. This service is so almost there.
The critical missing element is that XM is only a one-way service, and for good reason. Transmitting to a geosynchronous satellite from a small battery-powered device would be a nightmare. Plus, they'd have to allocate bandwidth on the satellite for every user.
I'm not saying that such a service would be impossible, but it would be a very big step from what they're doing now.

I've always found ffdshow to be a much less crapware-like codec for watching DivX video. Not sure how it handles the new v6 stuff though.

Just call me when self-replicating pants start to take over the world.

9:44 is later than 9:00. Is your timezone set wrong?
No, it's KDE 3.3.2 with the Plastik theme.

Heh, I was about to post the same thing, but luckily I decided to search the comments first...

Doesn't it seem odd that a small form factor PC is named after a very large bird?
