In addition to the technologies you mentioned, they already have the V-chip, which isn't about protecting your kids from the naughty bits of TV, it's a surveillance device the government is using to spy on us. The good news is that it can be disabled. Check it out!
The RIAA has nearly ended webcasting, which was a form of promotion that cost them nothing, and now want a royalty scheme that would end it entirely. Enough! Boycott the recording industy. Don't buy CDs.
Anything written after Gene Roddenberry died is not the real trek, but just a derivative work. Ignore infinate velocity, or anything else from Voyager, Enterprise, or DS9.
In TOS, they had no real budget for makeup effects. In TNG, DS9, et al, they did. They never considered that the fans would ask why the Klingon appearance changed, and the writers of Enterprise may not have taken even a moment to consider the inconsistency. Don't hold your breath waiting for an official answer. Gene Roddenberry isn't here any more to write one.
Here's a question for the trekkies and trekkers. In Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan, Khan says, "Any you...I never forget a face... Mister Checkov!" but Checkov did not appear in Space Seed. How did Khan remember him?
There is indeed a secret base on the dark side of the moon. The Martians put it there. Whether it is the cause of the change in Earth's gravity field, I can't say.
I can not belive this! Mill the God Damn corn so they will be able to eat it! They cannot just allowed genetically engineered frankenfood to be planted. All the reasons they cite are valid. The idea that a living thing such as a corn plant can be patented, and therefore, someone's intellectual property is a crime against nature. Making crops that only grow once so farmers must buy new seeds each year is so obscene that I think my brain will melt if I think about it any more. "Beggars can't be choosers" is the battle cry of self-serving horn tooters who think throwing away their garbage at a Goodwil or Salvation Army center is giving charity, and of bastards with ulterior motives who are doing a disservice with their Giving.
Media, the plural of medium should not be used as a singular. Your headline should read, "The media are pathetic." So many people don't get it that the plural of medium is media, that they have cooked up a new word, mediums. That really annoys me. The media have always been purveyors of entertainment, not information. "Responsible journalism" is, and always has been, a fairy tale. Journalism's highest prize, the Pulitzer is named after one of the original yellow journalists, Joseph Pulitzer. Sensational headlines sell papers, and it is, after all, a business.
Microsoft Says IBM/Linux Their Biggest Threat. Maybe they read this article. While the thrust of it is Carly Fiorina, and HP, it does mention how IBM is using Linux against Microsoft. Never forget, IBM is big brother!
Bruce Perens should at least give a speech about how it theoretically could be done instead of demonstrating it, or read the presentation Edward Felten was intimidated into not giving, If Felten would be willing to share it. Any one who wants to be sure not to violate the DMCA can read this article, and avoid a senseless blunder that might get them into hot water.
Cincinnati had 11 or 12 show up over the course of the night. At least half were members of CINPA (CINcinnati Networking Professional Association) members. We talked about our tech toys, work and school experiences. I talked about my websites, Uncoveror.com and Dontbuycds.org, and gave out copies of The Uncoveror newsletter. It is good we met at a resturaunt, and not a bar because one slashdotter named Matt was a high schooler who couldn't have got in otherwise. We had fun, and will do it again next month.
This is true of some, Like Senator Mitch McConnell of Ky, whom I will vote against in November. I Support his opponent, Lois Combs-Weinberg, but others are responsive. Representative Ken Lucas has responded to me, as has Senator Jim Bunning. When I lived in Ohio, Representative Rob Portman responded to me. I did not donate to them, nor was I affiliated with their party at the time. I am not ready to give up on Democracy. Those who have already given up help the bad guys like Mitch McConnel, Fritz Hollings, and Howard Berman get their way.
It would still be the law until the Supreme Court rules it unconstitutional, if it passes. A lot of laws that are contrary to the constitution don't get challenged, so the Supreme Court can't strike them down. Hopefully, we can keep it from passing. It is time for everyone to start faxing their Congressmen. E-mail is too easy to ignore, and snailmail takes too long if it even gets there. When elections come around in November, anyone who supported this should be voted out. Slashdotters need to get politically involved. Also, consumers can boycott the movie and music industries. It is our money they use to bribe Congressmen and Senators. Don't give them any.
Perhaps since they are developing hypersonic aircraft, they will scrap the X-4000 Launch Aparatus. I hope they have better luck with these these aircraft than they do with Mars probes.
I got those notices myself for Uncoveror.com, uncoverer.com, and dontbuycds.org, but my e-mail from GoDaddy warning me that they are bogus came first, and I was not fooled. I hope everyone behind this scam goes to the slammer, and finds out several times per day why it's called that.
Now that the bubble has burst, WorldCom(edY) plans to pay its remaining employes with funny money, and open company stores where they can use it. It was all Scott Sullivan's idea.
Cutting off Dell will make sure they go elsewhere (lexmark, canon) if their own brand fails, and they have to buy from another printer manufacurer again. It's all part of Carly "The Hatchet" Fiorina's plan to destroy HP. She is an IBM mole!
The BSA, Aptly named. Everything they say is BS. Thst goes for the MPAA and RIAA as well. Piracy is a red herring. Take movies as a single example. They brought in the highest grosses in history over the Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends. They claim pirates are robbing them blind, but still are obscenely rich, and getting richer. It does not suprise me at all that the BSA is claiming open source distribution as piracy so it can fudge it's numbers.
This could be the test case that goes to the Supreme Court, and gets the DMCA ruled unconstitutional. The Edward Felten case could have been the one, if it weren't dropped. In the meantime, we should still not buy CDs or DVDs
Once the source code for the new real player is available, someone is sure to strip out the crap, and make a spyware free version of it that doesn't bog your computer down. Until then, real player will continue to suck.

Email is easy to ignore, but snalmail takes a long time. If you have access to a fax machine, a fax gets their attention the quickest.

The Viking probe did discover life on Mars, and NASA has been trying to cover it up. Read about it here, and read the follow-up here.

"There's that word again, heavy. Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?"

Maybe they could add this feature to Pest Patrol, My favorite anti hacker and spyware tool.
They are also working on a new launch vehicle that won't be so sensitive to lightning.
