I can see this take off actually, the product allows for all sort of novelty packaging and product shapes. Forget about browsing the alphabet of your closet to find Spider-Man, just find the Spider-Man shaped USB key! Collecting large quantities might make organised storage a bit of a challenge though.
Does USB mass storage provide a way to ensure read-only access though? I wouldn't want some virus to have the potential to delete my porn, erm, Star Trek collection.

You obviously missed Chrome's, which never writes that private information to your hard drive in the first place.
And so would every single tabbed UNIX application if people just listened to me* and admitted tabs should be provided by the feature set of the window manager and not applications.

And if you have a static IP and your router/firewall supports NAT (which doesn't these days), you could even access your development site remotely through a proper DNS name.
Depending on your needs you'll want to add some security/safety measures, which can be as little as a local robots.txt file such as:
The reason for that is quite evident: pensions are not enough for sufficient living.
Or: expenses are not enough under control for sufficient living. We all spend too much money on frivolous nonsense during spring and summer of life, but we don't have to.
(Not blaming anyone personally, I'm the first to realise I might have a big problem if all the drinking and smoking just doesn't kill me in time.)
I haven't, I wouldn't. At best you encounter some of those things during ordinary work or even unproductive boredom.. but I totally see no value in having such details of a place you no longer work.
(Of course here in Europe there's a due notice so you have plenty of paid time to find a new job, but still..)
I assumed you stated a belief in a profitable rage, in which case even if you don't wear it yourself, you should go ahead and do it! (If the original poster doesn't object.)
My state is in a different union than the American. I suppose it can be confusing I used mileage and not something metric.;-)
You make a point I hadn't considered yet, although I'd like to add that most of these laws predate significant use of the Internet (or even photography itself, but I'd have to verify that). And in (nation) states where abortion is still illegal consensual sex could also cause permanent damage. And that mere possession alone isn't damaging and therefore should not be illegal, especially not in a consenting case.
Anyway, the whole problem is that age is completely arbitrary, period. I know quite a few people my age (31) who I don't think will ever reach the maturity, rationality and awareness of some of my teenaged friends.
Some years ago I got a call from a fourteen year old friend who had just fought of an ex-boyfriend because she refused to have unprotected sex and then telling you "I'm going to stay away from dodgy folk like him". Quite an eye-opener when that same week you learn of another STD someone your own age contracted.
Or we just remember our inalienable right to overthrow out-of-control governments when diplomacy and democracy fail to do so and no longer seem to be capable of doing so anytime soon.
(Don't worry Mr. Fed, I'm presently only entitled to overthrow the Dutch government and so far I can tolerate their share of gross incompetence.)
"Selling's legal, fucking's legal, why isn't selling fucking legal?" Only in Vegas.
And other countries, of course.
But even though it's not new, your point can't be stressed often enough. I also really don't understand how worker unions and health care for legal hookers is so much worse than drug-addicted underage kids getting pounded at trucker stops.
And I don't understand why I can fuck the shit out of a 16 year old in any way she conscents to, legally, yet a topless picture of her might get me in trouble for possesion of child porn.
Which is just as secure (my phone doesn't give a robber the details of my bank account, the key-machine requires your bank card which does) and a lot more convenient. I have my phone with me at all times (work, trusted places like family), I'd definitely forget about bringing the key machine all the time.
Assuming the data survives on the actual memory part, I'd go for a USB drive. Peripherals have the best chance for forward compatibility because they are already designed for use with more than one system and therefore it should be fairly easy to get ahold of adapters. Also, you will only need a driver for the final connector interface.
Drinking per definition creates a state of being drunk. But there are many levels of drunkenness. from barely noticable all the way to the intensive care. And I know that most people know their limits.
But in an argument I probably would have to concede that the risk of crossing reasonable boundaries is likely to be higher in the case of underage drinking. Even when most of my teenage friends do maintain at least some levels of responsibility.
Yup. But it's still no different than a dense city. The pavement outside my door now is just as undesirable for doggy poo as the pavements in such a pyramid.
First of all, you get one headset and charger for free with a new phone.
Estimate life-time of a phone? 12 or 24 months, depending on your contract. Chargers easily last that long. Headsets might not under heave use, but that's why you should get a phone with a regular 3.5mm jack plug. Or just make sure the phone supports A2DP - I've fucked up plenty of headset cables but I just can't seem to fuck up Bluetooth.
Slashdot Mirror
Perhaps, but not a strong argument because in this case it actually seems like the federal government has retained more sense than state government.
Is this a joke?
Yes, parts of government increasingly look like a joke and not serious business, let alone representation of its citizens (and not: subjects).
But you basically already answered that by elaborating on the common sense you'd expect to be applied to matters like that, but didn't find.

Actually, IE uses one process per tab.
And so would every single tabbed UNIX application if people just listened to me* and admitted tabs should be provided by the feature set of the window manager and not applications.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (dev|localhost).example.(.*) /robots.local.txt [L]

No. It's not uncommon to have a band perform at a wedding ceremony. In fact, I had never before heard of wedding rings being referred to as bands.
Oh sorry... you're talking about a ring are you ?
Apparently so. It took me the entire summary and nearly all replies as well before I figured out I hate people using ambiguous words.
Nice to hear about the Trons here though, even though personally I'd go for the Swedish Slagmålsklubben or actually, the Japanese Asakusa Jinta.
There you are! That was a helluva night.. shame we never saw each other since. :(
I haven't, I wouldn't. At best you encounter some of those things during ordinary work or even unproductive boredom.. but I totally see no value in having such details of a place you no longer work.
(Of course here in Europe there's a due notice so you have plenty of paid time to find a new job, but still..)

So go to Cafepress or Zazzle and put it on one!
On slashdot, even the submitters don't RTFA apparently:
Or you didn't read it properly: the bit about being just short of 10 million is about the 44th when it was new, not the new new prime.
The submitter or editor could have at least typed the number into the summary. Lazy bastards.

That said: Thinkgeek might have a few gadget-organising gadgets you might be interested in.
are people willing to live in a mega building of 2.3 sq km?
Sure, why not. It's not like there won't be parks, squares, expedition, lanes, views.. dense cities are essentially one mega building already.
