I would like to see a review of this and any similar device posted on/.
For discussions sake, let's say that Mr Rowe has spare change of 1 Trillion US Dollars (yes, I am being hypothetical here)....
Now Mr Rowe registers his company as Mike Rowe Soft. Then he decides that www.microsoft.com is an infringement on his company name. Keep in mind that he has lot of money and can affort 1 trillion dollars of spare change. He makes an offer to Bill Gates/Microsoft to relinquish www.microsoft.com in exchange for 1 Trillion US dollars. Bill Gates looks at the offer and being tempting as it is, agrees to it. Now Mr. Rowe can hire Smart and Bigger lawer firm to sue microsoft and say that the domain name www.microsoft.com was registered in bad faith to eventually make money out of it....
Well.... the timing of registration could be an issue here. I remember there was another case like this www.nissan.com but Nissan Motor Co. couldn't win the case for that domain name !!
Conversations with geeks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are similar to conversations with geeks anywhere, and most of the ones I have met so far are smart, young, single men who are addicted to the problem-solving aspect of programming.
I know of many geeks who are not single. For the rest, it is the society/media that glamorizes football jocks and the thugs these days over people who are in the field of science/technology....

That means my desktop can open up a peer-to-peer connection with my desktop at work, but it also means that my daughter can network her machine directly with some teenybopper P2P network in San Jose. Getting everybody's home machine out from being a NAT box should make possible a lot of interesting applications that are either very difficult or downright impossible today. And in all likelihood, some of those applications will not be popular with the Recording Industry Association of America or the Motion Picture Association of America, both of which have taken the lead against peer-to-peer networks. As soon as they understand what a threat IPv6 is to their police actions, they are likely to start fighting against.
I thought that most P2P applications work well with NAT....maybe I am wrong. Any ideas on what kind of applications the author could be talking about that are "either very difficult or downright impossible today" ?
And Dubya said (in a future state of union address):
"Today, the gravest danger in the war on terror, the gravest danger facing America and the world, is outlaw regimes that seek and possess nucular, chemical, biological weapons and nanotubes that can hold thousands of liters of botulinum toxin; enough to subject millions of people to death by respiratory failure.
These regimes could use such weapons for blackmail, terror and mass murder. They could also give or sell those weapons to terrorist allies, who would use them without the least hesitation.
This threat is new; America's duty is familiar......
This might be *slightly* offtopic but where do I buy the 3D viewer. Anyone can suggest the store that might be carrying it ? It might help me and others find those 3D viewers to enjoy the mars view. I have tried so many stores from the electronics, to software to video games to Spencers, etc... none of them seem to be carrying them...
It is the law of nature that no one can keep a lead for ever. Bigger/better always comes along and looking at recent news coverage (it was posted on here too), Google might hasten the plans of going public before the next google shows up..... But maybe I will still buy some if I had the money to spare...
I spend at least a few hours being FREE tech support to friends. It cant really get to you sometimes but I don't know how to say no to friends. Sometimes, people have dropped their messed up boxes at my place to fix. It gets really difficult to say no sometimes especially when you know that their boxes are really messed up or taken up by trojan horse/viruses etc....
Many of the developed countries have huge defense industries that recuperate a part of the cost of research by selling weapons in international market. India has probably lacked behind many developed countries in arms exports and hence, the cost of defense research comes more from taxpayer's money....
For statistical purposes, according to The Fedaration os American Scientists' Arms Sales Monitoring project, the United States has exported more than $152 billion worth of weapons to states around the world since 1990. Many of these sales have been to repressive and/or unstable governments.

I bought a laser printer for home last week. I already have two inkjet printers at home but they suck.
This is the one I bought from local Bestbuy:
Samsung SCX-4016
It lists at about $280 with $ 70 mail in rebate. I paid only 250 for open box buy. With mail-in-rebate, it's a good price for a laser printer!!
I love it so far. Print quality is good. Though you have to set it to dark while printing in photo mode...
Best value for money I could find...
