I have my browser (Mozilla 1.7.5) set to block popups, but they still pop up... and under... and then there's those really annoying overlays that you have to wait for until you can read the content under them that you wanted in the first place.
I think the real point is that non-students carrying these things would be easily identified as thieves, making it less likely for people to steal them from the students.
It's obvious to me that the writer of the article is not an "engineer by birth." The real clue is the correct spelling and grammar. Seriously, though, it takes more than aptitude to be a good engineer.
Or, perhaps, a palmtop that can function as a cell phone? And I would be remiss not to mention that internet connectivity should continue while using the phone capacity.
It seems like we're dealing with terrorism in EXACTLY the same way Microsoft deals with computer security. To wit: we patch and patch and patch the exploited breaches while ignoring likely targets simply because they haven't been exploited yet.
I expect that in 10 years or so, these computer thingies will be used by regular everyday people. And powdered wigs will no longer be considered high style.
I'd rather pay a monthly fee, say $30US, to watch movies and listen to music from a nearly all-inclusive library without having to own any equipment other than a PC. Maybe recent advances in bandwidth will make that possible...
And then there's the fact that only the mother passes mtDNA to offspring. That leaves male neanderthal and female modern unions producing humans with modern mtDNA.
And if, at some point, there was a plague that affected only those with neanderthal mtDNA, it could leave some neanderthal DNA in the human gene pool.
Of course, those offspring might not have been attractive enough to be selected for mating...
It would be great if songwriters used this tech for foundational musical and lyrical ideas. It seems like every piece of music I hear these days "strongly reminds me" of music I've heard before.

Of course, the ads in novels tend to be for other novels you might actually want to buy, and probably not for a LOW RATE REFI! (Click on the pig)

Any plugins or suggestions?
I seem to remember that a group of physicists disproved the formula. Can anyone remember whom?
You're not getting a Dell!
Am I the one remaining person who has yet to even read a blog?
And in my case it was numbers 1, 4, 5, 7, and 9. I'll never work in an office again. :)
From TFA: "Watch reruns of Full House. That was a really funny, heartwarming TV series"
I was thinking the guy's opinion was credible until I read that. But then, maybe he was just being sarcastic...

Whoever said that I ask too much?
Why are lists like this compiled? I'm sure some people like to watse time in that way, but when you put together a geek list, just don't publish it.

And, for the record, Sabrina Lloyd was the reason to watch Sliders.

Hey, I guess Intelligent Design was just ahead of its time.
Imagine a proofreading clearinghouse in India...
I was cheering your post all the way until I read that last sentence. Is the concept of Rapture rational?
but it's always possible before release
Seems to me anything is possible before release given microsoft's predilection for pushing back releases.
Just when thousands of Americans are considering defection to the EU... heh.

And everyone has missed the obvious.
The star was destroyed to make way for a galactic superhighway.

It's been working in Hollywood for decades.

America... FUCK YEAH! :)
Humans condition and educate children differently according to gender. Male conditioning results in higher scores on IQ tests. No biggie.
HOWEVER, since nobody seems to be conditioning today's young people AT ALL, I'm sure tomorrow's adults will all be equally degenerate.
