This weapon is totally harmless to people and could be used in situations where hitting targets could result in civilian casualties
I don't think any army has ever been overly concerned with civilian casualties. The real boon for this is that it leaves strategic buildings intact for use by the bomb's owner.

Clothes ready for take-off
Seatbelts won't be the only things taken off once the pilot on Naked-Air switches off the sign. Passengers aboard a May 3 chartered Boeing 727-200 flight from Miami to Cancun, Mexico, dubbed "Naked-Air", will be allowed to get their kit off and move around the cabin au naturel once the plane reaches cruising altitude, Reuters reports.
Castaways Travel, a Houston-based travel agency which specialises in "clothing-optional trips", is offering what it bills as the world's first all-nude flight, for $US499 ($840) return.
Though mile-high club antics are barred on the flight, the possibility of encountering turbulence during the flight could make for some compromising stumbles.
Are you a Troll who realises the original post was a joke? Or do you really believe the original post was trolling? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter.
Maliciousness is better than stupidity any day...

I disagree. The difference is burglary and rape are illegal. Spam (which was agreed to) is not.
If you want to continue with the "proof by analogy" rubbish then how about this: Giving a junk e-mail address is like wearing a seatbelt. It's just a precaution against the undesired.
To hell with you, troll.
Ahh. you're a troll, aren't you? Well fair cop. I fell for it.:/
No offence, but you seem to be generalising. On the one hand you are considering a small group of local firms which you presumably split into either "good" or "bad". On the other hand, you are considering the thousands of Indian firms, which you label "bad". If you hit upon a lousy local firm would you consider all American firms to be lousy?
It's trite, I know, but it's worth saying: Not all firms are the same. There is a much greater diversity in those thousands of foreign firms than there is in the few local ones.
That must be the most ridiculous comparison I have ever heard. There is a world of difference between attending a live performance and listening to the CD. The difference between reading a bound book and a bunch of printouts is minimal.
Giving away free copies is a great way to gain some publicity. It is also a noble cause. But I'll bet diamonds to dumplings that it's a short-term money pit. Do it until you've made a name for yourself and then start publishing the old fashioned way.
Fair enough, the PowerBook's CPU is slower than most new Intel based laptops, but I'm willing to take the hit.
Gosh dang it! For 1G RAM and a DVD burner I'm willing to take multiple hits. Besides, what apps need 1G+ CPUs?

Yay! Now people can contribute to global warming and measure it at the same time!
Thanks :)
You had a few Offtopics, but other than that, good user! And I see you read Pratchett. Now to destroy your reputation!

Ahh... It's all painfully clear now, but I still prefer my idea.
How can prefixing a '1' to every phone number increase the amount of combinations?
Wouldn't it make more sense just to add a couple of new numbers?
For example:
One, two, three, four, flig, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nelp, ten.
Well observed. Although you did just turn a sexy image into a waking nightmare. Crack-sweat on the seats.... Uuugh...

We did something like that in college once, only it involved q-tips and a lot of damaged eardrums.
Oh, and beer. Lots of beer.
It's ham-fisted "analysis" like this one that makes a the panic-monger's job even easier.
I wondered if anyone would notice...
*smug grin*
My 8210 battery has been acting up recently. Just two minutes conversation is an exageration (understatement?), but the battery does suck.
Maybe it's just mine...

The Nokia 8210's battery already implements something similar.
but in a truly perfect society, all phones would cut out after two minutes of monologue.

manipulate computers into doing more work on their part with less work on yours
To paraphrase the great Terry Pratchet: "Beware labour saving devices which are smaller than their manuals".
No offence, but you seem to be generalising. On the one hand you are considering a small group of local firms which you presumably split into either "good" or "bad".

I wonder how many beta testers will sign up for this one...
who has ever seen two bananas humping eachother?
Seemingly one person thinks they have, but I believe they are mistaken.
Remember that there are still wild sexually reproducing bananas out there
You wouldn't have a link to their site, would you?
I think we just discovered a new kind of Nerd(TM). I hereby name it "Red Pencil Neck"
Try any one of these methadone-based, browser games
