Encryption is pretty strong.. the blackberry (afaik) is the only wireless device to pass US government certification.. that's why it's used by everyone (except the president) in the white house, as well as congress and other government offices.
Try outpost firewall. (agnitum.com). It comes with an image blocker that blocks ad-sized images from particular servers. I've been using it for a while and it's really very effective. Combined with Opera to block pop-u[p|nder], my surfing is ad-free.
I second this.. I've been using Total Commander for over 5 years, and now I pretty much can't live without it. It's the first thing I install onto any machine I use.. given that it fits in 2mb, this program is some serious sweetness..:)
Not necessarily. There are lots of people out there who enjoy reading and are willing to share that pleasure with others. If you don't like lending your books, don't sign up.
As it says on the site, you have the right to refuse sharing any book for whatever reason.. if there's a book you don't want damaged, then don't lend it out. I think that there'll still be enough books to go around.
Seriously, who's to stop people from putting microphones/other recording devices along with the sensors in the bricks. With the wireless capabilities, they'll be able to transmit whatever they record, and the government/other evil agency will be able to download every conversation that takes place in the house. Paranoid thinking?.. Let's hope so.
Here in Canada there is definitely a distinction between engineers and non-engineers, as mentioned in some of the above posts. Engineers are liable if their products fail. Software engineering (as opposed to computer engineering) is a relatively new field, and some universities have SE programs which are still in their infancy. At the U of Waterloo, for example, the SE program has only been around for 2 years, and hasn't been accredited yet (won't be till at least 2006, when the first class graduates). The SE students will then be "real" software engineers, who can be held legally responsible for their software.
I think that this is an important distinction between engineers and programmers, and that Texas is making a step in the right direction. Now for the other 49 states...

The Mozilla project Vaani is intended to fill exactly this niche. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Vaani

Sounds a lot like Lego, but slightly more electronic. If that's the case, this should be pretty cool..
yeah, but it also shows you're willing to put some effort (== money) into getting the job

it's still there.. they reset it every year to count down to the next IRS
