Yes, if only we could hire some people to "edit" these post. I know, I know, my idea may seem controversial, but I think it would work, unless the people just took the money and didn't actually do anything... Nah, that would never happen.
Is it just me, or did you just post the same thing twice within two minutes, and still managed to get modded up? Ironic that this should happen in a discussion about spam...
So let me see if I have this right.
The US Military want to prosecute somebody for doing something they've been doing [echelonwatch.org] for years ?
Where have you been for the last couple of millennia? A country (especially a powerful one like the US) can do a lot of things that are illegal for an individual to do i.e. a guy shooting another guy on the street is illegal, but the US can pretty much shoot/kill as many people as they damn well please.
Actually, Alpha Centauri is a star system, not a star. The closest star (other than the Sun of course) is Alpha Centauri C (aka Proxima Centauri). But then again, maybe NASA just doesn't know what they're talking about...
If all people wanted to do was drive while listening to MP3s, they would get an MP3 player, which would almost certainly be cheaper.
You can be sure that all the idiots who talk on their cell phone while driving that are still alive today, are going to try to surf the internet, write emails, and god knows what else.
In addition, having all the people in a traffic jam checking their email and not paying attention is sure to make everything worse.
"Everything that can be invented has been invented" and "640k should be enough for anybody."
There are a lot of useful ideas that cannot simply be implemented properly because the average computer is too slow.
How about proper voice recognition? That sound like something people who type at 15 WPM (read: "average user") could really benefit from.
You also forget that newer, faster processors are the reason that the slower processors (which are used by the "average user") become more affordable.

Howizter? Is that some sort of "Microsoft-enhanced" Howitzer?
The mistake was on the part of Anonymous Coward.

Shit, what is this ellt speak and where can I learn it? Google searches were inconclusive.
I feel so "un-ellt" knowing only 1337.
I thought,Linux was ready for the enterpise since Kernel 1.7.0.1-D. Actually, that should be "Kernel 1.7.0.1-E."

That's because they spent all out tax money on the space station and not on elementary school grammar. We have also seen the death of the adverb.
You must be a graduate of the above mentioned educational system, and living proof of its flaws.

Why does it take slashdot so long to report these things?

Liquid Nitrogen Cooling is only a short term solution. People who use it expect their components to be destroyed after a shot period of time.

That explains why my website was one long paragraph.
