You all make it sound like an X-ray machine can't differentiate between open space and explosive material. Current X-ray tech is pretty smart, it can identify just about anything. With a dual-energy X-ray system you can estimate the density and molecular weight of a region. Explosives all fall within certain ranges of both, so it's not going to see a bunch of black powder in a coke can and think it's air. The TSA has tight restrictions on airport scanners so I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, there are much more scary scenarios than the coke can.
Am I the only one that thinks this is good news? Legally playing DVDs is a key feature that will help Linux distros in the Desktop market. Lindows/Linspire does have this already, but personally I prefer a distribution that doesn't think it's Windows. I, for one, hope others start follow suit and include licensed DVD software. Even better if CyberLink releases PowerDVD for Linux to the public.
Google should really make a new service for a small fee that allows you to track a MAC address for cases like these. Everybody uses google, this would be a great tool.
fatmouse will leave your puny planet and terraform others. your space exploration is futile because fatmouse will consume all other forms of life. FATMOUSE MUST FEED!

The reviewer finds that the 3.3v rail has a potential of under 3.3v, more like 3.1 to 3.2. This isn't normal, is it? :)
