It's only a little bit better than some guy leaking his load of gravel on the interstate. I've always been partial to the effluent spillage from stock trucks. It's dirty, it stinks, AND it can tip you off mid-corner.
Those aren't strands of Web like structures, they're neurons! It's a brain!! If it was, and we were but micro-organisms inside it, it would go a long way to explaining the big-bang... the Universe would indeed have been born.
It's hard enough living in a world that wasn't built for us without having some smug, self-righteous ass-hat making comments because, while normal, we don't fit average... Firstly, no, it's not normal. Secondly, if life is so hard living that way, is it any harder than changing diet and lifestyle?
That's your choice right there - same choice I and many others make each day; Walk or drive? Gym or TV? Dessert or skip? Make dinner or order pizza? Get a snack from the vending machine, or wait until I get home from work? Soda or water? These things add up, and size is primarily a reflection on calories in vs calories expended. If you wanna lose weight, change the ratio. If you don't wanna lose weight, that's your call - just don't expect sympathy or tolerance for making bad choices that you can correct.
We could annihilate 5 billion people on the planet, but the average person (at least in North America) would little more than flinch, so long as their own city or state is not affected. I can't really speak for North America, but people travel more and for me at least, between friends and business connections, there aren't many places in the world where I wouldn't be very concerned if something bad happened. E.g., Burma hasn't affected me, but I have (had?) friends in China I can't get hold of since the quake. That's just on a personal level, however so much of our business world is interconnected now, that thinking you won't be affected if half the world disappeared is incredibly naive - just pick most any non-trial, non-handmade product or service, and follow the supply chain...
Okay, but what if that same trip was onboard a cross-country 200 mph TGV, like they do in France or Italy, etc? Sure, it's slower than a plane, but factor in the airport drama at each end and you're actually not too far behind. They're smooth, fast, quiet, more energy efficient than aircraft, and generally unstressful for passengers. In fact, there is already the Acela Express high-speed train in the US, so it just may happen one day... once they upgrade the rail to support them.
I think the real story is not the bug itself, but the disclosure process in this instance. The Debian OpenSSL mess was front-paged yesterday, and I the OpenSSH "bug" is really just a result of that. Useful link you posted though, particularly with its note about the ssh-vulnkey tool.
I will not be fully impressed until he can land on his own two feet and take off with little more than a running jump. Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free eee eee. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me.
It's like a light of a new day, It came from out of the blue. Breaking me out of the spell I was in, Making all of my wishes come true ue ue.

There's only one Pixar and there's only one ILM. The other million animation studios out there don't have budgets even close to these guys, particularly considering the turn around on hardware (today's super cluster is tomorrow's pile of junk). Renderfarms will be staying with cheaper vendors (which also means white box for most) for some time to come yet. I understand your argument, but there's an upside. Maybe someone will put energy into Cell processor renderfarm software, so all the fiscally-challenged shops can buy a small rack of PS3s and go at it? IBM or not, the Cell is still a damn quick CPU for serious number crunching (say raytracing, etc).
Two words. Gas mileage. Show me any verticle fan craft, carrying 4 adults, that gets anywhere near the gas mileage of any normal car on the road. I know you're talking about "vertical fan craft", but for clarification for the punters, well designed 4-seater conventional aircraft can do OK in that regard (and you could build your experimental aircraft to use mogas if you wanted to):
"Company pilots often choose to cruise at 50-55% power and take advantage of the economy available there. At 175 mph, the RV-10 is getting more miles per gallon than most of the luxury cars, pickup trucks and SUVs it is flying over." -- Van's RV-10.
Not publicizing the project name suggests you're either guarded with the project... and if you're concerned about the bandwidth, you're probably self-hosting, which means you're probably not on SF.net, Berlios, etc... which in itself suggests you're not as open as you'd like to think you are. Also, it sounds like you want someone specifically to share the workload, but you didn't mention any form of reimbursement. Nobody who's any good will volunteer to be your employee. If you want an employee you have to pay, and if you want a partner you have to share. At first glance, it doesn't look like there's much of either going on.
Anyone can sit around a table "developing ideas" - the hard part is making them into reality. Your reality and theirs is different. Reality for these guys is something profitable, which given their chosen business model, means something patentable. But it doesn't have to be practical, doable, or reasonable, or any of the other considerations us less motivated folks would consider necessary in our reality. Think about it - their competitors are fools like you and me, so of course they will win with that approach!
And a couple of other points to consider: 1) It's easier to make money by NOT being original. 2) They're gaming the system. 3) It obviously works. 4) ??? 5) Profit.
They didn't host them; they indexed other sites that did. So, like Google or a myriad of other search sites then? Maybe this was the small fry MPAA wanted to use for precedent, but extorting/suing bigger fish...
Every client understands how much harder it is to listen in on a face to face talk. I think every client has a better understanding of the concept of listening in on a face to face talk, not that it's any harder. Old fashioned bugs work just fine, and if the parties are visible, there is potential for lip reading (possibly via recording), parabolic mics, laser reception of air vibrations on window surfaces, etc. IMHO, it's really *not* harder to listen in the old fashioned way.

It'll be just in time for the whole peak-oil extravaganza, and damn useful to power all our new electric cars.
You can't touch this.

You know, if I could have my kids genes tweaked, tetrachromacity is one of the mods I'd opt for.

Maybe, if they release a model with a 10" tray at the back...
Dunno about Tesla, but ThinkGeek already has this for sale.
Two and a half thousand people out of work, and your post is emphasising the stock drop? Way to give a shit about your fellow man, dude.
Risk is a relative thing. Steve flying a light aircraft is like you or me going for a drive to the supermarket.
That must also be the case with electromagnetic transmissions in space? What is the limit of these interactions?
Just means they'd have to forgo the Windows market...
