I don't think much else needs to be said about VoIP. It's wonderful technology and saves a lot of money on telephone bills if you're well connected with broadband. I use VoIP quite a bit, so it's worth mentioning a top VoIP reference on the internet, in fact the most comprehensive info directory on the topic I know of. Also of interest is the FCC (keep the boos down please) webpage on it.
You believe that Disney is declining without any indicative evidence of the fact? No sharp falling profits or revenue, Disneyland and Disney World still exceptionally strong vacation destinations? They're opening a Disney theme park in Hong Kong Really Soon Now(TM) to boot. From where is this paranoid speculation derived?
Just when I was starting to become confortable with the idea that extreme technological transhumanism is a kook philosophy, something like this comes around and points out a very real demand for computational implants and other data processing aids. Johnny Mnemonic here we come.
This is the coolest thing in the way of personal entertainment that I have ever seen in my life aside from unmentional bedroom activities involving myself in a dark room with a glow-in-the-dark prophylactic. The future is indeed a bright one.
You get a pleasure rush as a result of extreme pain. It makes sense that you'd get a pleasure rush in the same fashion by taking revenge, an emotional analogue to endorphines if you really think hard enough about it.
Are there any performance gains to be had in the output of the hamster's running if it were to say...oh, I don't know...get shaved down, have his claws yanked, and shoved up a gay man's asshole? Just some food for thought, perhaps energy gains from methane and homo jizz.
Seriously, if the labour is as skilled, what's the justification for keeping the labour in the 1st world? Moral crusading on the idea that this would only be justified if the outsourced workers were paid an identical wage falls flat on its face; "victims" of outsourcing would be identically as pissed as they are now as they're having wages undercut. We're going to have to admit sooner or later that your average African or Indian brain can process the simplicity of IT work as well as your average Euro-American IT worker. If you ask me, offshore workers still have a very large hurdle to jump in order to become as useful in processing IT labour: predominant mastery of major lingua francas.
why do the French have to make everything, including robots, seem lame? I can remember a time, like 5 minutes before I read the article, when I thought robots were badass. Now the whole favourable perception has been ruined.
how some of these so-called "genius" worm authors always manage to get busted. If any of them had a brain in their head and assuming they're not bed-ridden, they would stop being so headstrong and arrogant, and release the worm from an internet café. They could even wear a disguise, dye/cut their hair, or walk funny just in case the place had surveillance cameras about. It just seems to me that it would be so simple not to get caught at all.

lol! Amazing.
I don't think I could get that framerate if I *wanted* to.
I say, alchemy anyone?
Brittanica? You sirs have been trolled.
If I had modpoints, I'd give positive ones to the parent comment. Amusing.
landlines aren't obsolete. Additionally they have far more than one redeeming quality.

I hate politics.

If I had moderation points to give out, I'd give you one.
... a seemless handoff to a cellular network once out of range."
Ain't that just a tad bit of baseless wild speculation?

Well, at least he's tech-savvy.

Do you have AIM or ICQ?
Seriously, the tinfoil hats really needn't come out over this. You're slipping, Taco.

Ever since I saw you in the hit independent movie Revolution:OS, I've wanted to rape you against your will. How does that appeal to you?
This "project's" funding is morally corrupt on the level of Iraq War II. John Locke is spinning in his grave.

I think that the actual results of this would be less than stellar there, James Bond. Try it sometime, it actually doesn't work.
and French people don't like George Bush. Film at 11.
