Apple also provided their own USB keyboard and mouse and an OS that was completely compatible with their new port scheme. They're playing on a different field. They could make a computer that only accepts software written by gold pen on tree bark and call it "innovative" instead of "deviant."
You could also try Adshield (http://www.adshield.org)... it's free software, sits in the toolbar (and has a sidebar), blocks popups (including popups concealed in document.write()), cookies, images or pages from a list. The list supports substrings, so you can have entries like "/ad." or "/banner/" which will kill all ads on the less imaginatively-named servers out there.
My only gripe is that the block list file is in some stupid (read unnecessary) binary format and the only way to add to it is to right-click images or links in your browser and select "Add to block list." You can't edit it directly. But Adshield really does work quite well.
But to really browse ad-free in IE, you need to use a combination of a custom hosts file, web proxy, and something like this. You're really better off switching to Mozilla or Opera.

Murder: high effort, high risk, low benefit. Spamming: low effort, low risk, high benefit (or so people appear to think).
A person in his right mind wouldn't imitate a murder, no matter how many he'd seen committed. But I'm sure quite a few people folowed this guy's example, and had imitators follow them, and so on. This guy is at the root of a lot of spam weeds.
And it is a common concept in law that people can be held responsible if their behavior influences others to do illegal things.
Not to mention the fact that the first caveman murderer was still a jerk, even if nobody saw him do it. (or her.)
I have nothing against lawyers in general, but a spammer laywer? That I can hate.
Great! Now I'll be able to buy speed faster than ever! I may not even have to stop the car - just lower the window and my man can toss it in as I roll by.
The magnet in a speaker, unless it's the size of a small asteroid, won't magically erase your drives. This is a common misconception. It's not the presence of the magnetic field itself, but a very specific oscillation in the magnetic field, at microscopic distances, which can alter data on a hard disk platter. Floppies are only slightly more vulnerable.
While I agree that analog systems are a more convenient and accurate way to model very simple biological systems, I think the idea behind using digital systems in robotics is to be able to (roughly) model much more complex analog systems inside the chip, without the need to physically re-plan and re-wire the whole device to say, add a new sensor.
While it's amusing to see an analog bug bouncing around because it seems really lifelike, the idea doesn't translate much past bugs. Analog robots and computers quickly hit a "wall" beyond which any attempt to expand the system either reduces its speed or increases its complexity beyond a practical point.
Banja.com (warning: flash site, albeit an extremely nice one) uses a pictorial password system... Of course no important data is stored there, just your game status. Anyone know of any other examples?

I recharge my ipod via my Audigy's sb1394 port all the time. Are you sure about this?

which sort of precludes MEMS...

Thank you, Mr. Horshack.
Bad analogy for many reasons.

I can't wait until weedpass comes out next year!
