This is hardly an accident or problem with standards. Its not even breaking news for that matter. Micro$ft is notorious for making all of their web pages do quirky things to non-IE browsers.

I've always wanted some alien smut. I wonder what kind of d/l speeds we can get from alt.milkyway.smut Maybe/. should have an alien porn design comptetition, break out the gimps!
Absolutly; not just voice signals get carried through comm sats. When you send an email to people overseas, you are beaming well over half a watt of useless signal up the spread beam in to outerspace. Now all you have to do is figure out what exactly what kind of code ET can decipher (though I wonder exactly what make them think they can speak ET-ese). Just think, we can start charging people $10 to email us! I'm going to use a plastic snow dish, a turkey baster and a modem coupler to make a signal dish and claim I spent $60k on it too!
Preach on brother... When I don't want some aquiantance emailing me anymore, I whip out my trusty canned response simulated email bouncer. When I answer the phone and I have to WAIT a second for the party on the other line to pick up, I hang up before the telemarkter says "hi". If I don't want to be contacted in the middle of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, I simply won't acnowledge that I've packed in my satalite uplink with me. ("satalite uplink..." *drools like homer simpson*) BTW: I'm organized and I have a good memory, when that fails me I have a post-it note folded in my pocket and a pen to write down my shopping list, daily contact list or to do list. I recycle it once a week and with the proper caffine induced states, I can play tetris on it. A palm would be neato but I'm a student with my eye on a new PPC750.
Humans are part of nature and can facilitate natural evolution (whether or not nature is a good thing is another topic). Part of this birds or any animal's genetic domanance that will allow it to survive/resurface may very well be that it tastes good to us (or was cute in this case). Besides, how are we to know till we try? If we think better of what we did we can always dine on them back in to extinction. =) In the words of the great thinker Homer (Simpson). "We don't need a thinker, we need a do-er! Someone who is willing to take action without considering the consequences!"
That's all fine and dandy for your average trendy office boy who's looking for the next big cardboard box to put out on the curb for trash collection. What about the true computer jocks? Honestly how many of you only use ONE computer on a regular basis? Bahhh... --Let's try to hack root on 127.0.0.1!!!! --panZ
The IEEE-CS of Cal Poly SLO was luck enough to hear Dr. Stan Williams of HP (one of the pioneers of "growing wires") give a talk on this very subject two years ago (if you get a chance to hear this man speak, do so). His description in post-worthy terms boils down to single electron gate operations where the electron is split in a wave form theory and either moves through the wire *switch on* or bounces back *switch off*. He continued to hint that they were producing raw waffers of these devices and etching them in a manner that can be described as "infecting them" with a virus and seeing what comes out on the other side because the devices on the waffers are simply too small to map. This waffer is functionally similar to a neural network, you don't quite know what's all there but you know how to use the cause and effect productivly. Word has it as of this now two year old talk, that HP has already produced several functional 8 bit quantum processors that are capable of solving all results of a simple logic patern simulaneously. By my own limited estimation, I'd have to belive that HP has a process in place to produce these waffers in high yeild but not at low cost yet. Time tables on HPs commercial production are estimated between the year 2007 and 2012. Kiss your encryption schemes good bye -panZ
