Right. And what makes you think you'll be able to find your cell phone tracker when you lose your phone? I bet when you buy one of these you'll end up finding both the tracker as the cell phone on the bottom of the laundry bin after a 4 hour search.
On the other hand, Folding@Home has already yielded far more interesting results (if not exactly "useful" outside of the world of biophysics) than SETI@Home probably ever will, so go for it.
IMHO seti@home's benefits lay in the spin-offs. Advancements in distributed computing and digital signal processing. I doubt they would find an alien email anytime soon, but they are very likely to come up with better ways to analyse signals. (read: better cell phones and digital cameras)
its a great way to generate some revenue.. embed a clickthrough payment link and get it on slashdot... 3+ million people click, thats great cash even at a fraction of a fraction of a penny for each.
Every link on/. contains such an embedded clickthrough payment link. How else do you think the ecconomics of the slashdot effect work? Those vaporized servers aren't free you know.
I remember they mentioned dual sided and dual layer disk at the same time DVD was introduced. But, ofcourse, those won't be available until after you bought this DVD-burner.
* Most end-users don't lose money, but the amount of stress and anger caused to me by spam has probably shortened my lifespan, and can you put a price on that?
I'll try: Lets assume spam reduces your lifespan with 1%. On average a hitman cost $25,000 and reduces a person's lifespan with +/-40%. This makes about $625/1%. So spam costs you approximatly $625.

This would allow respectable ISPs such as AOL to block all pornographers simply by blocking.XXX, and put those silly and ineffective filter software vendors out of business for good.
If my ISP would block such a TLD, it wouldn't be my ISP for long. I'll decide for myself what I want to see. I don't need any of those nannies to tell me what I'm supposed to (dis)like.
I had a little more trouble reading it now. I used to be able to read it just as easy as Engrish. And since last month I've got a gf...
Oh no! My geekpowers must be slipping away! There is no other option, I must start upon a quest to the caves of Assembly to retrieve a token of the Divine Binairy Digit, before it's too late and the clocks start flashing 12:00.
Servant! Bring my cloak, pocketprotector and trusty calculator! I have a quest to fulfil...

Too bad I got the patent on rolling money. But for $699... ah forget it.
or about 750 chicken eggs.

But in good /. tradition, aren't we supposed to get a link to the registration free opinion?
Not necessary. We could also save you by cutting it off.

Now if they would replace the red pencil with a painball gun and use the candidates as targets...

Sheesh, I've already an off-site backup on mars. Perfectly save now. And all I had to do was mount it on the Beagle Mars land... Oh wait...
Even pen and pencils are ilegal then. Those can be used to copy written IP.
