I have directions for folding an F-14 Tomcat from a square of paper. It flies great, and even has airfoils on the wings and control surfaces on the tail. You can see a picture of it here
So why are we paying millions of dollars for F-14s made of titanium?
I shudder to think of the day when we will work in protective buildings like these, keeping company secdrets safe from Van Eck phreakers and war drivers, but also keeping out the mellow, smooth sounds of Office Light Jazz 94.7.:-)
Some people already work in such buildings. When I interviewed at the NSA back in the late 80s, they were putting up a Tempest-protected office building.
Well, I might be biased because I'm their head geek, but PrivateMail.com does several of the things you want -- full SSL webmail, forwarding, 25 MB storage (more for extra charge) and SSL POP (coming in the next 30-60 days -- we already support APOP).
We also have plans to implement/deploy a SSL-capable IMAP server, and are considering support for S/MIME and downloading mail from other accounts.
What about Apple?
I think the trademark will hold up.
It already did -- ISTR that they had a dispute with Apple Records back in the 80s. Needless to say, Apple Computer won (or at least didn't lose).
The ruling will come back as people won't confuse their car windows with software, so using the same is name is a non-issue.
Well, the iDrive control system used in the new BMW 7-series runs on Microsoft Windows CE, so one has to use Windows to operate the car's windows; a good lawyer might be able to make something of that.
Each CPU would have a public/private keypair with the private key sealed up forever in the chip and the public key readily available.
This sort of exists now -- Intel Pentium III CPUs have a 96-bit serial number that could be used as a public key in the way you describe. However, many BIOSes allow you to disable the CPU serial number, so a post-SSSCA fix could be as simple as a new BIOS without this feature.
You obviously didn't catch last night's episode of Futurama (an old episode where Fry & Amy get together).
In the episode, Fry, Amy, & Zoidberg go to Europa for a picnic -- as they approach it, we see a monolith floating in space, with an "Out of Order" sign taped to it...
I think you meant Cartoon Network -- it's part of the Turner/TimeWarner empire, and they run quite a few of the classic Warner toons. They also have a number of half-hour shows showcasing the work of classic animators, including Friz Freleng, Tex Avery, and Chuck Jones.
Slashdot Mirror
(The strongest hurricane is about 150 MPH, I doubt a cyclone or twister is much higher than that)
The fastest winds recorded in tornadoes are in the 300 mph range, not too much slower than the first plane.
Nickel's nothing compared to Felix Klein -- he co-wrote 4 volumes on the theory of tops, and invented the Klein bottle.
You can stand them on end, too.
There are similar systems that use electricity or gas -- they're popular in parts of Europe, and are just starting to become available in the US.
Yes, it does -- see this page.
No -- the people who interface between the NSA and the Grays
Windows rate high in my book
Probably the first time those words have been uttered on Slashdot.

They (godaddy.com) also sent e-mails to their customers warning them about the Verisign ploy. I got mine on Friday.

I've always heard that $847.63 was a government estimate of how much it costs to clothe/feed an infant for one year.

Intresting idea, but the US Census is mandated by the Constitution, so we just can't do away with it.
Of course, with the current occupants of the White House & Supreme Court, little things like the Constitution don't matter too much...
Here's a few -- alternator, solenoids on power door locks, motors on power windows, fan motors.
You wouldn't be related to this guy, by any chance.
and if they truly are unconstitutional, they will be deemed so by the Just Seven.
There are nine Justices on the US Supreme Court -- which two are unjust?

Where do the X-Men get funding?
From their name, I'd guess porn site operators.
are for weenies. Real paranoids shop here.
Older generations of HP Jornadas (the 54x series) used the Hitachi SH3.
