I saw a cd writer a while back that could burn graphics into the un-used portions of a CD, but I would love to be able to shape the edges or cut voids into unused areas of a disc (Assuming you keep the CD balanced).
Another project at the renowned Central Saint Martins Innovation Centre in London is integrating electronics into fabrics that would allow consumers to customise their clothing by downloading different patterns or colours. The garment would act like a display in the same way as a computer screen.
The release of these clothing items will soon be followed by the much-sought-after Remote Transparency Crack.
I go to a lot of conferences, etc. where you are required to wear a badge. Some of these are pin-on or magnet-based...

ZZZT...
Damn! I just spiked my system bus!
And you thought the tags in the collar of your shirt itched, just wait until you start experiencing "hot-spots".
I'd prefer my smart clothing in accessory items that can be used with different outfits.
I am just making a contribution to the use of the windows key. I did not monkey with his keyboard, and I would feel the same way you do if someone did it to mine. 25? What does your age have to do with it? Listen, I'm 24. I use key macros for efficiency, and even map perl and batch scripts to open key combinations.
Plus, the guy this happened seems to have a better sense of humor than you. He thought it was pretty hilarious after day one.
We have a old programmer at work that uses keyboard macros, and frequently uses the windows key to access the start menu and use the key macros (win + e: explorer; win + r: run prompt; etc.)
One day another co-worker snuck into his office during lunch and remapped the windows key to reboot every time he hit it. This had the unfortunate side effect of producing a loud explitive every 10-15 minutes.
Good Lord, how long will it be before the interpretation of the word "effective" is directly assaulted? We'll soon be banned from legally owning & using keyboards with shift keys.
I have read through a few threads here that indicate a "yes, if..." (aka qualified yes) is the best method to say "no." From personal experience, I think this is a bad idea because it fails to properly manage the expectations of the person you are telling "no". More often than not, the listener shuts off their ears after hearing "yes", and assumes that the task can be accomplished.
I think a better approach is to give a "qualified no"; i.e. "No, this can't be done now unless this, this, and/or this gets done first." The shock of hearing "no" often moves the focus from the original task to the issues needed to be dealt with first.
A response of "no" is also more likely to be challenged than a response of "yes". Be ready to back it up with solid fact. And if you find out you were wrong, admit it, and point out that they now have a solid foundation for the "yes" instead of a quick, uninformed answer.
While it might be unpopular, and possibly job suicide in a highly unpopular political environment; give them the straight, candid answer. Don't sugar-coat, make empty promises you can't back up, or mislead to save your butt or burn someone else's.
It is called character and integrity; try some, its good for you.
It was a text-based java applet mmorpg I briefly played six or seven years ago. They seeded special 'gemstones' into the treasure drop that could be exchanged for real gemstones.
Lawmakers are people, elected by money and other people
The majority of software is closed-source so a profit can be made
The majority of people believe that secrecy is always equivalent to security. Trying to convince them exceptions exist is an uphill battle because this belief is often deeply ingrained.
Just setup a plan with a trused friend or relative in the states to accept deliveries and forward them to your foreign address.
This probably won't work in extreme circumstances and will cost money and time for the extra shipment, but it's less inconvenient than not being able to make a purchase at all.
Then again, you might run into hassles if you have to deal with returns, refunds and such.
Does anyone else feel like they are inside a box trying to find a corner to walk around? I'll believe it when I see it, and then I still probably won't buy it.

We are the box You will be assimilated Lower your vapor barrier and surrender your home we will add your crappy decor and architectural distinctiveness to our own Your structure will adapt to serve as us Resistance is futile
Frankly, the impression I get when I hear "accessible websites" is that they will appear spartan and/or dated. (your website is a good example, ATTAIN, Inc. a non-profit accessibility provider and previous employer is another)
This is all very well for government or non-profit sites that are services for awareness and public information; all US government and most US non-profits are compelled by law to abide by some accessibility guidelines. They aren't the problem, private businesses and entities are. The impressions of "accessibility" is at odds with business sites that need to "capture" visitors with compelling visuals and/or content before they move on to the competition. The fact that typical internet user attention spans are measured in seconds and waning fast is a major drive of the design of online commerce sites.
How can the goals of business and "access for all" coexist? Do any examples of fully accessible sites that are also compelling enough to compete in today's online business environment exist?
My brain is quite powerful and advanced. Unfortunately providing any proof of this is hindered by the substandard user interface.
Is there truly any existing application for such a powerful system? I would like to hear coherent details about how these machines are a benifit than a few puffed up paragraphs about "simulating nuclear tests" and such.
This just probably means that every new API microsoft releases from now on will be integral to the security of their products.
However, they will probably share the API's for "Permanent_Thread_Locking", "Open_Politically_Correct_User_Friendly_Screen_Of_ Death", and "Send_this_error_report_to_microsoft_so_we_can_go_ over_your_incidental_personal_data_with_a_microsco pe" as these seem to be the most common ways to interoperate with windows.

You really have to salute SCO for their persistence.

Not true... the ones that buy the strategy guides can't afford the auctions.

It's nice to find something that puts his foot in his mouth!
And that takes some extrodinary flexibility considering he already had his head up his ass.
They still have some room to expand in the reality they live in. There is still USB2 - Lightspeed, USB2 - Ludicrous Speed, and USB2 - Plaid.
