Why did they waste their time with crappy C3 and C2 processors? The performance on those cpus is awful. You'd almost be better off building a small form-factor PC using notebook parts. It might cost more, but damn, who wouldn't rather have a Centrino in there or something along those lines? Or maybe Transmeta cpus should be used. Whatever. Anything aside from these Cyrix holdovers.
If you approach the problem like the Nathaniel Energy company, burning fossil fuels can become a pretty good idea. Heck, burning tires even becomes a good idea with their technology.
This device will not be complete unless it comes with
a). a transporter room and b). Dutiful redshirts who will either walk thoughtlessly into ambushes and traps for you or otherwise die hideous deaths for your amusement/benefit.
Scotty, half-vulcans, and tribbles cost extra. Or you can pay more for the Snotty model. Just imagine the wife saying, "He beamed me twice last night! It was wonderful!"
I would be really impressed by the Cell processor if it were released today, or even by 2005. However, will this CPU be anything of note in 2007? Intel has, as of late, been very aggressive in shrinking transistor size. By 2007, they may have the 65nm process licked and then some.
Cell may be more of a threat to Transmeta depending on its power consumption.
As for anarchist teens, I'll bet they'll play Grand Theft Auto 6 just like all the other teens. They may be using it as a training simulator though.

This product should be re-named "Dial-A-Porn". Charge people by the call to call it up and find out what's happening . . . oooh look I think I see a leg in that shot!

FTC vs Spammers

· Score: 1
Given the indiscriminate fashion in which spam is slung around the internet, I'm sure many spammers are already hitting FTC email addresses. In fact, the best thing the FTC could possibly do is set up a few "dummy" hotmail and/or Yahoo accounts just to catch spam.
Unless someone's prison hotmail account got so spam-bloated that they missed some good pr0n attachments a buddy on the outside sent them, I doubt anyone in prison really cares about spamming. They'd probably be like, "You got sent to prison for throwing meat at people? wtf".
Why would you want to be like Freakazoid? You'd get cancelled after your second season and be shown in reruns on Cartoon Network at something like 5 in the morning. Keep your day job. That is, assuming that you have one . . .
With all that sodium and saturated fat, it's just not safe to eat it. And it's not cheap anymore, either, so it'll ruin your budget too! I guess it's okay baked in a brown sugar glaze with raisins, though. If you're desperate for meat.
Maybe they could incorporate this idea(pro gaming) into The Sims: Online. I have to wonder how they would award prize money in a game based on social interaction, though. Netsex for dollars?
IRC is better than spoken discussion because you can kick/ban people you don't like if you have ops. Or you can flood and/or nick-collide them if you don't have ops. Or you can get your friendly OPer to k-line them. All bloodless, all satisfying.
I have to agree with the parent. The Matrix wasn't all that great, and it was hardly worthy of all the hype it generated. The Animatrix shorts currently available have been equally lacking in lustre. Especially the first one. Watching those corny little anthropomorphic robots build some futuristic pyramid by hauling materials up a ramp(using a crude sled pulled by ropes, no less) was ridiculous. Our modern contruction techniques are already far superior to that nonsense. What kind of a moron would use robots in such a horribly inefficient fashion?
Let's face it: The Animatrix has shown us a vision of the future that is both implausible and rather stupid.
Not quite. After hackers discover "women", they don rollerblades, get powerbooks, and start hacking Gibsons like there's no tomorrow. And the "women" help them, or so they claim anyway.
Imagine all the amateur porn they'll get off these machines! Maybe they should give a discount to teen girls and female college students recycling their PCs.
Could they be selling parts of these recycled computers back to their own customers? Hmm? Or maybe they use the used equipment to bludgeon their annoying interns to death.
This product would be better if it could emit various colors of light and emit smells or even coat itself with ions that give it a temporary taste. For example, you could configure your balls to glow brown and smell/taste of salt and chocolate . . . salty chocolate cyber-balls.
I found this article to be horribly unrepresentative of how technology, particularly entertainment/information technology, progresses. Wherever technology goes, pornography is already there, waiting for it. Seriously, there wasn't any mention of technology in that article geared towards the production, distribution, or enjoyment of pornography, nor was there any mention of technology designed to enhance or simulate sexual experiences. Can any serious discussion of future technology exist WITHOUT mention of the pr0n industry? I think not. This article is, therefore, worthless.

Whaddya know, all I had to do was import from my old Opera directory. Bookmarks restored, wh00t. Carry on then.
. . . it killed all my bookmarks. I upgraded from Opera 6.04. I guess I should have expected that. Oh well! I like it otherwise *)

Support your local troll.
It would seem to me that anyone attempting to create an invention that appears on a "to invent" list of this sort would not be an innovator.
