Just a radar type device for detecting all cameras in the area? Right now, we can only assume we're being watched at all times, rather than knowing that we're watched at all times directly.
Of course your reaction gets worse every year, that's how allergens work. Your immune system is what hurts you, and it strengthens with each exposure. About the only way I could think of to avoid poison ivy, is to wear an asbestos suit, and when you're done whacking the ivy, walk into a furnace to burn off the allergens.
I'd like to buy myself and editor too. In fact, for all the late night postings on/., we all need to have and editor around to correct our personal mistakes. Like a personal trainer. I too winced at hibread though.
Burning hydrogen creates about an electron volt of energy per molecule or so. FUSING hydrogen into helium, what a hydrogen bomb does, generates several MILLION electron volts of energy per atom. So unless you have a hydrogen tank for your car that is at EXTREMELY high pressure, you don't have a hydrogen bomb. There are dozens of chemicals that generate far more explosion energy for a chemical bomb, such as, say, GASOLINE!
But a mail sending monopoly would charge you 80 cents. So would you rather be screwed over by a benign, inneficient organization, or an efficient organization that looks and calculates how much they can screw you over.
Is that they can't compete with a robotic sport playing machine. Really, if you're going to enhance humans, why bother with merely GM'ing them. Vicious cyborgs are the way to go, and you can turn almost anybody into an effective cyborg. Why wait 18 years (less if you're very good at GM) when you can get the same product in a few days.
Why hit the URL's when they're sent? Set it up to hit all of them at a specific time in the day. Set up the script on many machines. Impulse functions are funny.
Modify/build a camera that sees exactly like a human eye. If the movie has to be seen by humans to be a movie, something that sees like humans can see it properly. Not that I endorse piracy or anything, it's just a fun little re-engineering problem.
I'm left handed. I've adapted to all these tools. Even worse are all the conventions in every science. All coordinate systems are right handed, all molecules have chiralities... When it's adapt or die, you adapt. So don't bother designing left-handed things, I can use right handed ones fine now, it would take more effort to switch back to my proper handedness now.
A group smart enough to work, but not to question it would be myopic, of course, unable to see the future. Consider the precision and symmetry of the eye. A very good optical instrument. Nature is very good at curing bad vision. If a society or species fails to have people who question decisions, sooner or later, nature will start dismantling that society until it falls, or begins to question decisions. A locked society like this can't last. Do not fear this outcome, but fight it.
So you're saying that all I have to do is pretend to pay absolute attention to the spam, and they'll vanish? As they'll become infinitely non-annoying?

If you send the messages faster than light for half the trip. Gain latency on one side, lose it on the other. Zero lag.

The answer: -$1000. The RIAA will bill them all for protection money for protecting their copyrights of course.

No prism needed. Depending on the polarization of the laser and its phase, you can cancel out the 'tangential' components.
Self righteous post? I'm above that.
Hmm.. Haven't posted at the right place. Wish I was attached 2 posts up.

The Computers That Said No To Drugs. How 80's.
I prefer "I'll never tell you!".

Well then, in that case, better not belong to the worker class... Because they'd be SOL. Or we should engineer a sleeper class now...

If anything we need to do more nanotech research because of this. We need the nano-cure for our nano-poisoning, post haste!
How about setting up the email name@NOSPAMhost.com, and using that as a trap for emails. People will truncate the NOSPAM, spammers will lose time.
I thought it said 'investigating the RIAA's billion dollar crimes.'
Marge, can you set the stove to cold?

Turn in everybody! 280 million people can't be arrested. Let the law fall through sheer weight of numbers!
Incorrect. With their math, the damage was 97.8 j trillion dollars. So the losses they incur are imaginary.
