Unfortunately, embedded deeply in the user-agreement you signed when you got the connection, there are a few lawyer-written lines about how they can change the terms of the service whenever they want.
. . . a dead mobile keyboard. Every mobile input device I've used until now is slow and sucks arse. A good speech based input device may help but you can't use that everywhere. It'll be like the annoying cellphone freaks who think we want to listen to their conversation in a restaurant.
Just have the board lying on the table and a bunch of wires going all over the place. Have a pedestal fan blowing right on it for cooling. That is the sign of true geekiness.
It is only natural that there will be increased monitoring, considering that the Internet could be used to hatch plans. Monitoring is necessary at least to a limited extent, but there should be a lot more checks and balances on making sure these are not used for Orwellian purposes.
Actually, IO being the limiting factor would actually benefit this method. If each task initiated its IO transaction and waited while other tasks also initiated their IO transactions, it would definitely be more efficient that one task initiating IO, waiting for a response, processing the response and so on sequentially
What's the use of broadband when it has just 64k of RAM? It'll download all it can store in memory in just over a second even using a dial-up connection.. and if the connection is for a lot of small packets, I don't think broadband connections particularly help latency in the case of small packets.
Judges are political appointees. If the political parties are paid off by RIAA, MPAA, etc the rulings will be in favour of the RIAA and MPAA. There are a lot of good judges out there, but $$$$ unfortunately wins
A lot of patents are like this.. Vague concepts with no implementation details. Even if two different people have vastly different implementations that do the same thing, and one of them has a patent for the "thing", they can be sued. How is this different?
Does Linux have an Auto-update mechanism similar to windows that indicates when new patches are available for download? That would be a very useful feature. The number of patches on all OSes are getting ridiculous these days.

I've also noticed sometimes that 28 kbps streaming audio in some sites is much better than 56 kbps audio on other sites
Cyrillic code crackers have been arrested by the FBI under the DMCA.

Does your bandwidth quota get used up if someone launches a DoS attack on you?

Slashdotted is a case of something that WILL go wrong going wrong.
They find a way to plug this into a C64 along with broadband
underclock it to 1 Mhz and it won't produce much heat

A few aircraft have started doing GPS approaches. It's still a pilot (no pun intended) program but expected to be quite commonplace in the future
Internet Explorer won because Netscape sucked. While IE may have holes, the interface and the feel is far superior than anything else out there
Listening devices are implanted in cases where law-enforcement suspects something is going on. The same can be extended to cyberspace.

I've seen an ATM machine with a BSOD. Think Windows ATMs already exist.

Broadband is overrated. Good bowel movement is underrated.

It'll be the first ever time the CPU bus is a bottleneck to the Internet connection
How about a restraining order on spammers where they are ordered not to ever touch a computer again. That's what they do to a lot of crackers.
