I try not to shop at Safeway since they implemented those cards. I really don't like them tracking my shopping and I agree that they are not meant for convenience and will eventually only lead to higher prices. More info about the cards
The real purpose is customer tracking. The only reason stores are going to spend money on this kind of stuff is to better seperate customers from their money. If they can profile customers they can better market towards them.
First academia starts contributing to peer to peer development, now it is being used as a business app. Looks like the folks who would love to see p2p dissapear are out of luck.
I run a dual boot of Red Hat 7.2 and Windows XP. I use Windows the majority of the time. Reasons for this include: 1)I haven't been able to get my printer to work with Red Hat 2)Games, particularily Counter Strike 3)I know Windows much better 4)I use Dreamweaver, Photoshop and some other software titles that aren't made for Linux Someday I will check out WINE or VMWare and see if those will effectively run the Windows software titles that I rely on. I have also considered getting a Macintosh. The biggest reasons for not doing this is the lack of games, the lack of cracks & pirated software and price. I mostly only boot into Linux to play around with it and try to learn more, and when I am working on a programming project.
I know the military is a big target and all but 1 GUY, 100 NETWORKS? Those military network security folks must be pretty lame. Seems like the could have tracked him down a lot sooner if they knew what they were doing.
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't this require line of sight? Doesn't that limit the usefullness of a wireless network? I thought one of the benefits of wi-fi was that it went through wall and windows.
The bandwidth consumption and streaming costs would be very high. How would it be funded if the music was GPL-type liscensed? It is a wonderful ideal but I can't figure out how it would work.
I believe Alta Vista is currently the second best search engine. Obviously these recent changes to the search engine are a step in the right direction.

The electronic carts that I have seen can tell when they are too far from the store and the wheels lock up to prevent theft.

Did you kill your wife? I heard you drowned her in your backyard pool.

This thing is faster. English summary at the bottom.
Chairman Michael Powell stated, "The benefits of this transaction are considerable, the potential harms negligible."
I am pretty sure he got that backwards...
Whoops!
It does, however, share capabilities, such as inking and handwriting recognition, with the more expensive machines.
I read that wrong.
This cheap version doesn't have handwriting recognition, the supposed killer-app of tablet PCs.
Are you trying to imply the mainstream movie industry isn't evil? Bah!
I thought of that, but a 100 break-ins is excessive. I am pretty sure they are just lame.

I can't help but think that this is related.
Let me get this straight...they can reproduce but they are not living things. That doesn't seem right.
I better make sure my car hasn't started reproducing...
Why do you think the viruses mutate? Because they are living things also and they mutate to deal with a changing environment.
Much of biological science is based on evolution.
Evolution has reached a new milestone
Does that mean there was a beneficial mutation?
That sounds like record label FUD. I'm not buying it.
all your base station are belong to us

Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of those?
That should run blazingly fast on my 100 Mhz pc. It currently just displays "operating system not found" upon boot up.
