Since I couldnt make myself a sandwich if my life depended on it, I would get one if it really did exist... I can just imagine how many people really did try ordering this thing hehehe, Only prob is it's USB 2.0 and I my USB isn't up to par so my steak would take 2 weeks till it was ready anyway... oh well
Kid: Look mommy, I installed Windows XP all by myself
Mom: Very good son, I bet you are just dying to hear the door bell aren't you?
Kid: What do you mean mommy? **DING DONG***
Man at door: This is the NSA, come out with your hands up and on the OEM key or we will be forced to open fire!
Mom: Go ahead son, do as the friendly man with the gun tells you
Kid: But mommy, this is Billys copy of Windows XP not mine
Mom: Well thanks to DRM, you and Billy will both be learning your lessons like all the other murderers and criminals in jail
Kid: But mommy I don't want to go to jail
Mom: Don't worry son, I'll come get you in a few years after I bear the offspring of Bill Gates which, if not done is punishable by death
Remember those days when IBM and Cisco were selling at the IPO, where one little piece of paper like that would return you millions of dollars in your later years if you would have just bought it? WELL I DON'T! I'm only 20 for CwbyNeal's sake! Now-a-days you have penny stocks from companies that crumble like flies! Forgive me, I hear the calls of the bears in the horizon....
Seriously though, companies like Google are such amazing innovations that it's hard not to want just a small piece of it, yet at the same time there is so much corporate internet garbage flooding Wall St. that it makes you think twice.
Hearing through visual devices is cool but seeing through audio devices is cooler! If you want something really cool try this:
Get this (right click link >Save As), look through your headphone jack in your cdrom, click extracted file at the same time. Enjoy!

The creators of WinZip filed suit stating that they have a better assembled compression utility and will use it not only to distinguish between living and non-living, but make the living incased in a tiny plastic cell on a keychain that kids can take with them, feed, and keep healthy.
Ofcourse we should be worried about terrorists using Voice Over IP, because I'm sure that Bin Laden has a computer in that cave of his and Hussein has a better knowledge of computing than Linus Torvalds (heaven forbid lol)... Seriously though, I think this is just another excuse for the larger government agencies to have a better grip on the people of their country, take Echelon or Carnivore for example... Both made for security but at the cost of many individuals privacy. I'm not necessarily against more protection for our countries, I'm just saying that our privacy is a big price to pay in order to get it.
Now let me get down to the goverment conspiracies, oh wait... someone's at my door, brb...
Mom: Kids, dinner's ready!
Kids: Oh boy mom! Whatcha got cookin in the oven?
Mom: You're favorite... home made, roasted to perfection Intel chips (Pentiyumms?)
I know there are security issues in using Wi-Fi but on a serious note, the police department would be transmitting sensetive stuff which I'm sure could be intercepted and somehow read eventually with the right key... I wonder if they are atleast thinking of a way to make it more secure... They could encrypt data sent from the central station and decrypt from the car, they could use a handshake process for authentication or they could just let things be sent and received raw and wonder why no one is seen doing anything wrong all of the sudden.
I'm gonna have lots of fun downloading LEGAL 8.6 Gb files since there is a plentiful amount of movies I can get online without going to jail... oh wait
Seriously folks, exactly how do they expect people to use such a tremendous bandwidth retrieving legal stuff on the internet... Each and every person considering getting something like this is praying for it because they want movies, music and other things the RIAA and MPAA wants us in jail for downloading... Don't believe me? Name me one file (forget the Library of Congress will ya!) you would like to get that isn't in some way "illegal" to download...
Only thing I would imagine enjoying LEGALLY would be that ping of 1 while I frag the hell out of everyone in Q3A, I can see it now... it would be like "bullet time" from The Matrix, oops! I usd copyrighted material in a post!
Average Internet User: My hard drive used to take a week to fill up with pr0n but thanks to Verizon, it crashed from overloading in only 5 minutes... Thank you Verizon!
It's interesting to think, something that is developed with the idea of keeping things free can generate and manage monetary and money related issues. How many times have we seen programs like Turbo Tax and Lotus which are used for business be passed up for something cheaper and better yet open source? I give this on my thumbs up.
Scary to think.... in the time it would take a programmer to make a car go from point A to point B without crashing into who knows what, you could end up earning that $1 million by figuring out ways to make cars safer for real people to drive. Also consider that to create something that monumental would cost said person a pretty penny to get started up. Object perception, maneuvering logic, AI for when to accelerate and stop, and the materials needed to create this auto would cost you around $1 million, the amount that they are awarding to create it in the first place.

Boy I'd like to see a beowulf cluster of those... oh wait
Less chat and more frag make MoeMoe happy! SO STFU!!!!
