Do not fly AA during in-flight testing of these devices.
Note to GA (General Aviators): Ask for hazard pay, apparently you are flying military targets.
On a side note, do we really need to invest this amount of capital to mitigate a threat which has proved to have no impact on America? Have the terrorists won by forcing us to revamp our culture- forcing us to live in fear of minor threats and over-regulate the aviation industry? I've fallen of the earth lately, but I do realize that not many conventional missile launches have been performed against domestic US flights... I see no tangible gain to this.
ugh...caffiene...
I before E except after C, unless used as...GOD DAMNIT! Does anybody else wonder why the most powerful nation in the world still has people who don't know how to spell caffiene?
Yo hablo en ingles y espanol, pero no me gusta ingles o espanol, por que no comprendo un palabra de ingles o espanol...Yo soy un grengo, y no hablo en ingles! Un momento...What the hell??
THAT IS A FLAGRANT LIE!! I DONT HAVE A PENCIL DICK! It is the size of a Highlighter! And any way your not drinking it...I mean how pointless (you get a better buzz when you eat it) and so 5 minutes ago to say that you drink caffeine, I mean get with the program, and eat your non-caffienated coffee flavored cereal with Folgers sprinkled on it! DOWN WITH STARBUCKS, LONG LIVE Kellogs...or whoever the hell made (notice past tense, I am sure that by the time I post this the company will be out of business) this cereal! And hay, (if by some wild chance of luck this company still exists) if you want a good stock tip, buy this company's stock. I will personally gurantee that you will have a lot of toilet paper, or doodling paper if you prefer. Make sure you let me broker the transaction though, I need gas money...or a ride home...please...o comon...please?....

Anyway...well everybody, novell is looking pretty good now:) Or if you are really creative... create your own ISP..then you get hit with a $750 fine (by not giving a user's location)...thus eliminating your 1,950,000 Charges of copyright violations for ripping every song ever posted. I am sure you would be fined more than 750 if you ripped that many songs...but I am unsure how they bill the ISP for not disclosing the location of a user...please post a response if you know.
The end of the DMCA will coincide with the Apocalypse/Rapture, for only God can stop the Spawn of Man.
After note: The DMCA is "necessary" for the protection of Copyrighted material...but how can the stop the "57 million people who have downloaded music", can we really fine that many people? And if that many people are willing to rip music and movies...what does that say about the prices of CDs and Movie Tickets? $25 for a CD and about $10 for a ticket?
Maybe the problem does not lie in the user, but in the source, like windows...just exclude the AOL User.
Just wait until some intern or **ERe*HEM*manager**COUGH** kills an older (router without the Power over ethernet ports) Cisco "Washing machine" or "refrigerator" series router by plugging this into the Giga-bit ports:) God will my job be fun...spraying it with the fire extinguisher, then running from the halon extinguishing system while saving the intern from the inferno, calling an ambulance, pulling the intern's mangled corpse from the flames, submitting a price estimate, buying a new router, having to lift the router up without the aid of an intern, configuring the router, finding a new intern...then repeating. I think Cisco stock is about to skyrocket! And think of the job market! Our troubles have ended, we can all be interns!
Note to Cisco: Should this fly, sell a RJ-45 port protector and code name it "downyball" to protect the "washing machines"!!
Does anybody else see the irony of the title "Linux's new popularity may hurt Apple more than Microsoft" being posted on a microsoft site? Also on the G5 page Apple compares its G5 to a Dell...I mean wtf? Apple comon now...thats way to easy, I mean its an "advanced" mini tower!

By integrating this system in the wall you would not save space, nor would you be able to create any more rooms. The reason for this is that most building codes and networking/telecom codes have requirements for thickness of walls when electrical devices are installed into them. (Especially devices which create electrical interference). This would make THE ENTIRE WALL 2-4" bigger, probably taking up much much more space than a Mounted LCD or a reg. 70" projection TV for that matter. Also, the installation costs would be outrageous, you would need custom walls, I mean completely custom walls, you would need a 2x10, and I can't tell you how much more those would be in framing construction. These problems could be fixed by bribing politicians, the IEEE, and a couple other standards organizations.

The hotel could make an extra couple rooms per floor, I am sure that this fact alone would more than make up for large up front costs."-arcite
RTFA! Phillips is unveiling wall mounted versions which are not going to save any space at all, except for maybe the few inches saved by not mounting the LCD monitor next to the mirror. Which is comparable to a painting, picture or poster. Wow, what an inovation.
"Philips is emphasizing the Mirror TV's good looks. Decor is important, as is space, which makes a wall-mounted display a good choice over a conventional television. Needless to say, a mirror hanging on the wall looks better than an LCD, and is more versatile"-PCWORLD
So sorry, saved space is bull and saving costs, HA! This is just another thing that will probably be gobbled up by the super rich and probably will be soon forgotten by everyone else.
In response to what the hotel IT manager said, how much does a freakin bolt and chain cost? and what about wall anchors? Those work really well. And owh owh, whats wrong with the anchors they use in schools? And in hotels right now????
Besides...look at what rockers and rappers do to Hotel rooms now...those poor paintings, what will happen to a wall mounted LCD/Mirror combo??
A mirror tv...hummm...hay here is an idea why don't we just coat the screens with a surface which can be manipulated by electric current, which could become transparent or reflective... like lets say PLASTIC! I think these guys are on the right track: http://www.funktionale-oberflaechen.de/english/a1_ ent_f.html If phillips really wanted to they could just coat their damn lcds with something on the lines of this, get it to the point were it could be manipulated by a controlable means, like the lcd turning on??? and bamm there ya go!

Why don't we give the RIAA the power of the IRS?? I mean we could give them power to police the entire internet, blow up whatever servers they want, they could get the People who have used File Sharing to pay for its infrastructure, it would undoubtledly kill our civil rights (Microsoft has been after those for awhile-DMCA and the XBox any one?), they would also be able to file flagrant lawsuits with little or no chance of compensation for the 'victims', they would be able to arrest whoever they want, they could seize whatever money the wanted, etc. I think this would be alot easier on the internet community, I mean you deal with the IRS every year...why not make it every day with the RIAA?
With this design you could possibly implement a swivel for the dual displays and place a keyboard/mouse combo on the back of one of the LCD monitors...allowing for dual screens, or the more familiar "standard laptop" feel. The problem of screen damage could be easily remeded by a simple cover or raised platform around the displays. To prevent the keyboard from causing unwanted operation, it could be made quite thin so that it would have a low clearance compared with the surronding body (The laptop casing). Or the keyboard could be just disabled when the screen is swiveled, I for one wouldn't really care if the buttons became scratched. This would allow for the most functionality (much faster typing compared to a touchscreen) and perhaps could have solved numerous design problems. As for the potential problem of low battery life with the dual LCDs, solar panels could be embedded into the screens themselves, providing a boosted battery life. Or if technically possible for the manufacturer, a French or even Mexican designed fusion reactor could be...
