You could separate the sugar refill from the bacteria by a membrane that will let sugar molecules through but not complex organisms like viruses and other bacteria.
In my public library they recently started asking a 4 digit PIN. Not exactly the worlds most important data. But then I looked around and asked myself: "how many people use the same pin as on their ATM card?"
My sister is a traveling nurse and in her first moth of automation she went through three laptops by simply dropping them on the pavement. Nothing special here, but the funny thing is she now refuses more replacements. Her current laptop hangs together with duct-tape but she got "emotionnaly attached"; it is now her computer.
I carry a laptop from home to work. I have a port replicator in both places and kbd, lcd,.. is basically dead weight. If you could make a PC the size of a laptop with a desktop processor (cheaper) but no screen, kbd, mouse then I would definitely be in for this. You would have to guarantee backward compatibility on the docking station so don't need to buy new ones every time I upgrade. You would have to do carefull weight/price/lifetime calculations for deciding what goes in the brick and what in the docking station (power supply, cdrom?). This would also work in these "floating" offices where every employee does not have a fixed desk assigned (very popular in Brussels right now, how about your place?). What they describe here just seems like another expensive add-on. I would look for sth which replaces my current hardware store.
200 USD for ISDN??? WAHAHAHAHA!
I live in Denmark and have joined one of these "communist" co-ops that buy a leased line and distribute capacity in a small neighbourhood. It is run by a bunch of amateur geeks and maintained during the weekend. I've been on for 3 years and uptime is better than 99.9. I have a 10 mbit ethernet connection (fixed IP, no NAT)to their 8MBIT leased line. Wanna know how much I pay??? 35 USD/ month. Wake Stalin up for all I care!!!!!
Stella Artois is part of Interbrew, in Belgium it is considered the worst piss of the street. Abroad it is an "export" beer sold at high price. For those of you who now feel shocked: exactly the same goes for Heineken (NL), Tuborg(DK) and Carlsberg(DK)
Personally I think this has gone too far. Isn't it time for the top GPL teams to publish a joint declaration they will no longer be supporting SCO in their next releases? GNUtools, SAMBA, KDE, GNOME, BIND... If they do it together, they will have all SCO users scrambling for the fire-escape. I know it's not nice to the users and blahblahblah, but lets get serious: this shit has to stop, and it has to stop now!
US PC manufacturers promoting NEWCARD hope to use the new media in desktop machines as well as notebooks. Chuck Stancil, Personal Systems Group, PC Desktop R&D, Advanced Technology Business at HP, is eager: "Cases for desktop machines are shrinking steadily, too, and the smaller we can make an expansion slot, the better." Didn't they say that for PCCARD as well? Would be nice to drop the screwdriver, but what aout the price-difference?
XP does have a mechanism buildt in for silent, interruptible background downloads. Even people paying by the minute for dial-up will only use their excess bandwith for it. (OK, so it could take a month to download sthing serious.)
This is definitely the lesser evil for my sisters computer.
Current X is good enough for running a word processor. All the new gimmicks are of interest only to owners and manufacturors of the latest hardware. What these guys need to do is set up a decent framework where the NVIDIA's and ATI's of this world can do their thing. Closed source or not.
Yeah, that would be like, take the worlds biggest army, and then take its most central HQ. And then say it is only defended by a G.I asking people to show their I.D. at the front door... Like, they wouldn't even have anti-aircraft defenses on the roof in case a wacky terrorist decides to throw a plane on it. That is really unbelievable, you dork!!!

+ Even Micro$oft now claims to have production quality drivers
+ IPV4 and IPV6 can run seamlessly together, allowing for e.g. half the customers to upgrade and the other half to sit tight
+ Any half-decent ISP will run decent software (BIND, Postfix,...)that has been IPV6 compatible for ages and has been upgraded already for other reasons (new servers, security fixes,...)
Everybody I know runs Window$. NOBODY I know has ever gone to a store and BOUGHT Window$. My company has a deal with Micro$oft so we can all legally take a copy for use at home. The only application I have that needs Window$ is netbanking, but one is enough. I have a dual boot, and it defaults to M$. The biggest problem I have trying to use Linux at work is I can't get authenticated on the company network. And if we will ever convince a corporate bigshot to make the switch, it will be by creeping some Linux stations in and showing they WORK. This means showing it works in a Windows environment.
It was the only SF series I ever appreciated. No stereotype "Captain USA" personnages but real people constantly asking themselves: "What is best for ME?"

Now the only thing left to upgrade for the USA army is the defense of it's main nerve center: the pentagon. G.I. Joe standing at the front door and asking to see peoples badges is apparently not good enough....

42-Volt Autos

42 volt means thinner copper cables, it also means you can run an electric airco, instead of a mechanical mechanism the engine has to pull along all winter uselessly.
This would actually make the car more eco-friendly. (Remember a car pollutes as much during production as during its entire lifetime on the road.)
