We could put a sensor dot on our forehead like the paralyzed Conservative MP in Canada uses for his mouse control. The trouble with that, is it's not brain controlled, and could give people a stiff neck I'd suspect. But it might beat sore wrists from mousing.
I've spent 3 years on eBay's help forums, and in that time I've stopped a few shillers, and helped to warn a few clueless individuals of phishing scams, and worse. eBay does jack squat, and they have about 1 person with a handful of people officially dealing with fraud. The rest is automated and farmed out to India where they send form letters in reply and toss the mountains of reports of fraud to the side.
If you want something done on the WWW, you have to do it yourself. It's the Wild Wild West.

My Dad's TRS-80 was the first computer in a classroom in the school division he taught in. It would have been among the first in high school in the entire province, in 1979. Then Apple ][e came in, then an Apple ][gs, then an 8088, then three 286s, and a Color Computer II in the mix at some point too. The school closed in 1994, so nothing beyond 286 was used, but they had VGA B/W monitors and did well for games of the era.
I'm kinda shocked that the PET outsold the TRS 80 by 1980. I never saw a PET before today, and I grew up with TRS-80s of all sorts, Model II, III, 4, Data Terminal [that was never hooked up even], Color Computer II, and Model 1000 laptop. The laptop is particularly popluar today, since it runs on AA batteries, and edits plain text which is still fine for web programmers with a Serial port.
I used CDex, and ripped while on dialup, talking to friends over IM. When the CD finished, I'd put the next one in, call up the titles, and continue. It took a few days, but I got through all 50 some that way.
I wonder if it is a captured Brown Dwarf, which wandered by our solar system millions of years ago, and got into an orbit around our Sol. Not to be confused with a Red Dwarf, which is only about a million years old as I understand it, and has holograms for people. As long as they were naming it for TV shows, they could have picked one that suited it better...
Someone important had to take a stand on this issue. Gates is probably wringing his hands today in worry, now that people can focus their efforts on KDE. Gnome isn't dead, but it's time to relegate it to the backroom distributions that want to use it, and present a unified front[end] for consumer distributions.
Imagine if the Windows Start button looked different on all distributions of Windows since 95? [The XP changes don't count, much]. Consmers need a "look" that says, "This is a linux computer and I like that". They don't need to be looking at a computer and wondering, "Is this Guhnome, or KDE... I want a doughnut."
After the Nightvision hack years ago that allowed people to see through clothing, you'd think Sony would have learned that people don't want their private things unhidden. Oh, wait.
It seems more likely to me that the average BitComet user wouldn't be aware of this issue of sharing outside of the closed community, and wouldn't care either way.
These drinks all have too much sugar and caffine in them. I have a hard time keeping my jaw off the floor when someone tells me they drink 2L of Coke or other pop a day. Not surprisingly, a large portion of these people are large human portions.
It sounds like the only "ball" based sport in the world where you need to be a multi-millionaire to afford a playing field.

It would make more sense to put them into the same ball, so you know the distance between the cameras, otherwise you'd have to determine how far apart the two seperate cameras thrown are to get triangulated distances, right? I suppose some fancy software might make it work, but two cameras a known distance apart makes more sense to me.
I predict a new player for the Los Angeles Angels of Annahiem will be playing soon. The helmet will have trouble fitting over his big black round ears.
In a country where a movie [The Rock], can have someone's mouth stuffed full of nerve toxin so their face melts off, and it only gets an R, it's clear that sex is thought to be more taboo than graphic violence.
And heaven forbid there be a naked penis in a scene! Why, the viewers' sensibilities would run out of the room screaming should that ever happen. Penises are more dangerous and vile than guns you know.
My Webster's dictionary must be out of date, because it only has "learned" and no mention of learnt. Enough people might use it these days for it to be considered a real word, but if you're playing scrabble with a dictionary a few years old, I don't think you'll find it.
It sounds like I could of, vs could have. Lazy speech leads to the improper use of "could of" since "have" sounds a bit like "of" when said without emphasis.
We must both have SAD, we're debating spelling on Slashdot.
The moderators happened to suck last night. My offering of one of the biggest tech related quotes of 2005, got moderated down as flamebait because this is Slashdot, and it no longer produces geek pop culture like it once did. When was the last time you saw Natalie Portman naked and petrified, or heard that Steven King had died?
It's not flamebait, the moderators apparently are unaware of a competitor tech news collection site called Digg.com where users can click on a link to "digg" the story and thus rate it higher. Trolls frequently refer to a story as appearing on Digg days before Slashdot, so Slashdot might have its reputation as the leading tech news site in jeopardy, and thus should "fear" this new tech related quote of 2005.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of chimps working at a cluster of keyboards!
They'd post fewer redundant stories to Slashdot than an average human child!
All they have to do, to give prioroty to their communication, is to quickly route anything that has the Evil Bit set to 1.
