go back to the days before Hard drives, if we could use old Floppies to generate electricity that would be great. i can just see the power plant of the future, a wharehouse, just full of 5 1/4 disks!
also is teh amount of electricity produced from the HDD directly proportional to the size of the HDD??
Did anyone else automatically think of George Costanza from Seinfeld?? i remember seeing an email with his "words of wisdom" which included think like "Use computers to look busy, to the passer by it will look like you are frantically working" much like me typing now!!
that micro$oft realised that their software was rubbish and decided to Dump it!! i wonder which rubbish dump they are taking it to? there would be a heap of coasters (their OS cd's) to get for free!!!
oh, and no i didn't read the article. is it that obvious?
Because when you mount a Laser on a shark or any other animal (CmdTacos' Cat for instance) it becomes infinitly cooler. whilst anything it looks at becomes hotter! on account of the laser that is.

This is a great idea.. imagine walking along wanting to check your email, just stand next to the payphone and check it!, a neat idea might be to provide some form of printing facility in the phone booth as well.. i can't see things like this happening in Australia for many many years though!!!
Still, People are always going to use computers/technology in some form, and therefore they will need someone there to support it.. seeing as though probbally about 80-90% of users are pretty clueless... so while the industry may not keep growing at the same rate, it is still going to keep growing.

while your subject is true.
if this method works properly, and effectivly, then the ability to detect cancer by sampling someones breath would be a much easier method to detect.
having had family members that have had cancer (bowel, breast) it would be much better for them, if cancer could be detected by this, instead of say, a colonoscopy (spelling!).
i wouldn't mind betting that if this procedure gets picked up that it is just used for the check up phase of treatment. i.e after chemo (spelling again!), or radiotherapy or whatever.
simply getting your breath checked by your local GP would be much better than having to go in for a blood test etc.
still, makes you wonder if the results could be skewed, depending on what had been eated before the test!!

the only way i can see spammers making money is if people actually click on the ads and genuinly purchase the items they are offering, if people stopped doing this then the effort to send out 10,000 emails when only 5 people might click would seem a waste of time.
and i still have no idea how they can get email accounts that have only just been created with my ISP, that have never been used before.. especially since my isp says they don't condone spamming!!!
damnit. now i'm just angry.
you forgot one!!

they are actually going to redub it with his Citizen ID, so instead of Neo or Mr. Anderson, it will be 31337, or something.

AFAIK thats not the case here in Australia, that might be different if 95% of the population didn't have Mobile Phones!
