That's right, someday you'll put your face into a face shaped form that contains hundreds of razors, move your face around in a circular motion for a few seconds, and you'll be done shaving.
Likewise the mouse will eventually be replaced by 101 key, keyboard-mouse. In fact you'll have a keyboard-mouse for each hand. You will be promoted up through the company ranks so long as your head doesn't asplode from mental taxation and stimulation. Good luck to you all.
Example: Go buy a Mini 14 Ranch Rifle, great for picking of destructive varmits. Next, remove the factory wooden stock and replace it with a black synthetic stock. Next, add a bi-pod and a flash suppressor. Viola, your rifle is now incappable of shooting farm and ranch damaging rodents. Your rifle MUST only be used for targeting people.
After all, it uses the same round as a M16. No way could could the.223 round have multiple uses in a black colored rifle! Come on.
Shutting down distributers of P2P is a logistical impossibility.
Excellent point. The ease of writing certainly gives access to p2p and invites any moderately experienced programmer to write an app. However, a network of one is not a network. Likewise an overly simple app that doesn't provide at least some basic tools and features makes searching and orginization more difficult. Additionally, security is concern of mine, but maybe not the average p2p user.
Still I welcome the notion of an easily written p2p app.
Given a teens understanding of electronics, it won't be long before a workaround or hack is discovered. I must admit I don't know how the GPS unit works in a cell phone. If it's a separate receiver that relays data to the cell phone's transmitter, then I would imagine that the phone could Tx and Rx calls while the GPS Rx was blocked. Could the phone be put in a lead lined bag, like the kind used to put film through an x-ray machine, while the phone's antenna protruded through a small hole? Now if the phone uses triangulation between the towers that's a whole different story.
As an avid hiker, I'm well aware of the limitations of consumer level GPS units. The accuracy is typically between 10-50 feet depending on a number of factors. In thick tree cover (or tunnels) it is not uncommon for the GPS to temporarily lose the sat. signals. I would also think that GPS enabled cell phone, placement within the vehicle would be critical. Basically, teens would find a way to discredit the GPS cell phone and regain their independance, even it they abide by the speed limits 99% of the time.

No question that weather.com is poor. Weather.com sensationalizes their forecasts, if the NWS says 40% chance of rain, then weather.com says 50%. If weather.com had their way, we'd experience constant blizzards, heat waves, down pours, hurricanes, and tornados. Nice average days don't sell advertising.
As bconway noted spoilers (plural) help with downforce in both turns and straigh aways. I'm always amused by the Honda or Toyota that has some moster wing on the back of it and no air dam in the front. Basically at high speeds the front of the car will start to lift off the ground depriving it of power, stearing, and control. These things can come in handy while driving. Of course this depends on the angle of the wing, design, placement, etc.
Thus when making aerodynamic modifications to a car it ought be done to the entire car i.e. dam, wing, ground effects, not just the rear. I have seen some well done ricers that look like they would suck down to the ground pretty well. I have also seen some as previously mentioned, that would be hilarious at 100 MPH provided no one was around to be the victim of a horific wreck.
One has to wonder at this point if Adobe had marketed Photoshop for, say half the price, if they wouldn't have realized more profit. Before I get modded down to troll sans economic/marketing degree, just think of the number of people in the U.S., let alone Russia that own a "fell off the back of a truck" copy of Photoshop. My point is PS is a highly demanded program and it's cost is surely a barrier to the average computer user. Given the average monthly salary in Russia, owning a legal copy of PS is not really an option.
Now do the majority of people really need all the features of PS? Probably not, but with software, and maybe this is just me, it's nice to know if you wanted to you could. i.e. apply filter XYZ, burn the image, posterize, solarize, and whatever other unique features you might want to apply to your image. Often though a program costing 1/6 the price of PS would do just fine in most home settings.
