Oh, I agree that the case I mentioned is a stupid one. I just wanted to point out that a) in our current environment, you could be damned if you do, damned if you don't, and b) none of us are lawyers.
"There should be a law!" is not a leftist reaction, but an authoritarian one, which rightists are just as prone to reverting to as leftists. See also: recreational drug use, abortion...
I know it sucks, but in a sue-happy world that one nice thing you do for someone could be misconstrued as an invasion of privacy.

Just delete these emails. Create a filter, make sure you're not storing stuff anywhere, and leave it be.

I'm afraid I can't recall when or where, and my Google skills are failing me, but I thought I remembered a case where someone sent important and time-sensitive info to the wrong e-mail address, and the unintended recipient just deleted it. Because he didn't take "reasonable action to notify anyone of the error", he was on the hook for some sort of liability.
You may jest, but if I recall, the producers of SGU haven't entirely given up, and are looking for someone other than SyFy to possibly pick up the series. I think they even mentioned "alternative venues" or something like that. Really, even though it's not your fav, the way they've picked up in this last season, SGU may be a great fit for Netflix.
In Civ 4, my Chinese civilization founded Judaism and made it the state religion. It left an image in my mind of millions of Hasidim bowing at the Great Wall, as the might at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem now. Since then, I'm not too concerned about the realism of religions in that game.
Since the term Learning Curve can refer to either the rate of learning or the effort required to be invested to learn a skill, it could go either way. Unfortunately it lies with the author to clarify, or at least offer clues in his or her work, how it is intended. Very few actually do.
I acknowledge your politicians are expendable, Senators slightly less so, and I counter it with the argument that Natalie Portman is hot. This argument has been shown to be valid despite the precedent that the prequels suck.
Myself, I'd be more than willing to allow some skin to be cut from my arm or whatever to stick to the end of a pencil to be taped to a Keno to save someone from having to sacrifice their life.
Except Firefox addons are not *necessary* to use any commonly accessed websites
Asides from the sites that only render properly in IE due to poor authoring, there are still sites out there that will actively forbid you from viewing them unless you are using IE. Unfortunately, once in a blue moon I have to visit them. That's why I have the Firefox add-on IE Tab, which pretty much does the same thing as this Chrome Frame thing. Or am I somehow mistaken?
I'll operate under the assumption that you are just missing the point, and not a troll.
No one is questioning what a heart rate monitor does. It measures one's heart rate. It is common knowledge. This bit of information was never called into question, not by the OP, nor by any other poster following that I've seen.
Thing is, this generates data. Data such as "Student Y's heart rate was 118 bpm after 5 minutes of moderate exertion".
Now, possible uses this data can be put to (some beneficial, some sinister, some realistic, some a bit more out there):
Educate kids on how exercise effects heart rate
Demonstrate the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise
Evaluate a child's level of fitness for the school's insurance purposes
Create a permanent record of an individual's fitness levels
Create a data pool that can be mined for statistical models of the citizens of various regions
Of course, that list is far from inclusive, nor is every item all that realistic. The point is, does it hurt to ask?
/Do you know how long it's been since I've hard coded an unordinated list in html? That was sort of nostalgic...

It sounds like it could have used some more time in development...
Actually, it has no syntax. Grammar can cover the use of phrases, clauses, and words, as used in a language/culture.

Or maybe my memory's just fuzzy.
Jenny Smith, is that you?
My girlfriend lives in Canada
You mean Alberta, who lives in Vancouver?
Nearest analogy I could think off (though it plays with scale just a wee bit) is to replace Topeka/KCK with Albany/NYC.
(SGU does not count as part of that series)
You may jest, but if I recall, the producers of SGU haven't entirely given up, and are looking for someone other than SyFy to possibly pick up the series.

Actually, my first thought was toward this sort of thing.

Hey, how'd you know to put a link to my Company Intranet web page in your post?
I believe in this case, the appropriate joke would be "1998 called, they'd like their joke back."
Will the Codeplex Project, or perhaps just programming/coding in general, feature a more prominent role in the upcoming Spiderman 4?
Like pay the phone bill? Surely not.

Wikipedia, as always, has more on the subject.

Yes, they have.. linky for more info than you need.

Some of us have wives. They still make you buy a ticket for her to get in.
