"Umm... no, i was just going to surprise you and give you a present on another day. you wouldn't be expecting THAT!"
Wife
"Well, that's it... i've had it with you... we're going to the doctor first thing in the morning"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"This is a relatively painless procedure. We simply replace many of the bones and tendons in the right hand of the patient with a PalmPilot. The retain full hand functionality out of some magical power of the PalmPilot, and they never forget a date, ever again!"
Wife
"Sounds wonderful. Go for it!" (In the background "...NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...")

The future of PalmPilot... interesting... scary... get your copy today!
Ever been to Ithaca? If the impossibly hard classes don't get you down, the frozen tundra landscape and hideous women will... who would've thunk it?!?!
Why only stop there? Bell Atlantic has already installed 7.1 Mbps DSL in Washington D.C. now, as for that system working, i dunno, but "supposedly" it is.
On another note, Bell Atlantic has such as small coverage area with their DSL systems and get so few customers, it'll be a wonder if the idea spreads out of the main cities (Bell Atlantic is basically screaming for help in D.C. ~ offering 640Kbps DSL for $10 a month).
Well, not to make this sound like an ad or anything, but you do know that the new standards aren't going to go anywhere in the consumer market if there is no show of interest in the test markets...
And just to say, i just woke up from my first sleep in 72 hours (ahh, the joys of school), so i wouldn't take whatever i say at face value, but you definately can if you want...
The way you build things like this is pretty simple.... well, maybe not simple, but straightforward...
Up here at Cornell we've got a nanofabrication lab, soon to be rebuilt, moved, and renamed the picofabrication lab, as if nano isn't small enough. Basically you build things molecule by molecule, nudging them around with EM energy. So for what it's worth, these'd probably be the trains with the longest developmental period around:)
I used Tux, but that's not the message of my t-shirt... it's just that i have absolutely no talent when it comes to art (heck, i even failed 5th grade sculpting -- i.e. clay ashtray class). It's pretty neato tho, considering that i gave Tux a flip-top head* (copyright of Reach, or something, cause that is a really funny commercial). Neways, this comment has kindof gone off at a tangent from where it started off, so i might as well drop my url...
Hehe, yeah, my eyebrows made a hole in my roof (darn plaster) when i saw "event horizon"... Imagine that, you're own little handheld black hole:) Talk about a battery drainer.

hehe, if you thought i was serious, do something very bad to yourself, right now!
An exabyte (with an a) is one million terabytes... pretty hefty amount of data (10^18 bytes!)
