I think we'll hit the crossroads in the next 500 years. Civilization will either keep advancing, or collapse. In the event of a collapse, it will be interesting to see what our distant proginy do to climb back up the hill. The Eden trilogy by Harry Harrison is interesting along those lines because it posits an advanced dinosaur based civilization based more on biotechnology than mechanical technology.
In some areas medical marijuana is legal. If you have a handful plants, you're OK. If you have 500, than maybe you're not in it for the medicinal qualities. There aren't any details here, but in the past when the feds have done raids, its been agaisnt people making and selling the mod chips, not simply using one.
Like many a dotter I only use Windows at work, so I didn't have the networking issues with 2k that I guess everyone else did. For me it was faster than XP, didn't have as many odd, random hurdles, looked better and felt better. My opinion is certainly one of taste over technicalities.
Exactly. Vista would probably slow most people down anyway because of the resource issue. Maybe in another couple of years when more companies are upgrading their systems company-wide.
The resources that space has to offer may not be zero-sum, but the glory of "firsts" certainly is. If a civilian walks on Mars first because the government couldn't get through their own red tape fast enough, you don't think that'd have an effect?
Nah, he's just the millionth one. The first 999,999 turned up crap. All 1,000,001 could come up with was, "It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times..."
PirateBay, of course. One of Sweden's national treasures.
At 1 HD-DVD every 2 seconds she is the PirateBay. Now that's who he should have given the connection to. I doubt her secret lutefisk recipe is going to need quite that much bandwidth.

There's been no ruling that the Executive Branch violated the 4th Amendment, de facto or otherwise.
EXACLTY! Nor will there ever be that possibility so long as this ruling stands. That's the problem. Its a situation in which the Executive Branch can violate Consititional rights with impunity, and that's the exact reason why there's a Supreme Court in the first place.
A continuing, de facto violation of the 4th Amendment isn't exactly a sound legal principle either. If the Executive Branch creates a situation in which it simultaneously violating the Constitution and claiming that no one is allowed to know of those violations, then the issue of standing becomes secondary because it is not the actions of the Plaintiff that denied them standing. If the Supreme Court were to rule to uphold this, then they would essentially be curtailing their own power to check the Executive Branch. I can understand an Appellate COurt not necessarily seeing that, but I don't the Supreme Court would be that blind to their own power.

The cool part is when they download 10 GB of loaves and fishes over a dialup connection in less than 30 seconds.

We're hosed.
Isn't he the number three Al Queda guy these days?

Wasn't the CD-ROM bubble artificially propped up by AOL for a number of years?
I think this is one of those times when the game drives canon. I'm sure if they thought it would be better to do that they would.

THEY are no match for BLAZEMONGER! In fact, HIM, HER, US, THEM and THEY are still no match for BLAZEMONGER!
Fine. But we're not helping you find either of the two we sold.
So that's how the FBI and IRS track you...
Personally, I think Windows peaked with 2000.
Do I have to worry about the toner particles when I open up my e-mails? Or is it only a problem if I open the attachment?
Anyone read into this that they haven't even really started the whole new franchise yet? WIll it still be relevant in a year? Or two?

They'll be funding it by dealing meth instead of cocaine.
But will it run Li- Oh. Right. Never mind.

My in depth analysis would be: possibily but not necessarily.
That the the family of the guy in charge of security just got a bill for a single 9mm round?
