Thank you for the links. I'm certainly no expert in this area, but I did take a minute to actually read parts of the articles. Maybe you should, too!
"The chain of events which lead up to the 1994 Rwandan Genocide unfolded while Annan was heading up Peacekeeping Operations. In his book Shake Hands with the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, Canadian ex-General Roméo Dallaire, who was force commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda, claims that Annan was overly passive in his response to the incipient genocide. Gen. Dallaire explicitly asserts that Annan held back U. N. troops from intervening to settle the conflict, and from providing more logistical and material support. In particular, Dallaire claims that Annan failed to provide any responses to his repeated faxes asking him for access to a weapons depository, something that could have helped defend the endangered Tutsis."
Sadly (IMHO), there are many people who do not perceive reality this way. For them, the math *is* the reality, and the 'real world' is just a messy implementation of the math.
How is any local tech industry going to manufacture clones for less? As Negroponte has pointed out, assembly costs for the XO are only ~$1 per machine. They'd need to import all the individual components, anyway.
OK, genius - what *does* a real bomb look like, and how does its appearance differ from what she was wearing? Apparently she was unable to explain the difference, either, since she turned and walked away from the first TSA person without saying a word.
AFAIK, most devices that aren't Blackberries or Good Tech devices *pull* their email, rather than having the messages pushed to them from the server. A small, but important difference.
And just for extra semantic fun, just how mobile does a device need to be to qualify as "mobile"? Does a laptop running Thunderbird violate NTP's patent if you unplug it?
Using something like Password Safe (http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net) on a USB key would be helpful, as it gives you the option to copy individual usernames & passwords without even viewing them.
The whole thing reminds me of the late 90's, when everyone (not in IT) thought they could run their own webserver for their department. Automagically, they'd solve all communication problems with their coworkers because suddenly, they could all share information!
It'd be more dramatic if I could dress the whole thing up with more buzzwords, but I just ate, so...
I was trying to decipher that, myself. He seems to be saying that Penelope is not the open-source Eudora that they've been talking about. But then at the top of the MozillaWiki page it announces "The first BETA release of Penelope (Eudora 8.0.0b1) is now available for download." Eh?
Right on! I've often said (mostly to myself) that if I were ever President, I'd threaten Israel & Palestine that if they didn't try harder to abide by an existing peace plan (pick one - any one), our next idea would involve Disney mgmt taking over Jerusalem. Of course it would be a mockery to 3 major religions at once, but would it be any worse than what they've made of it already?
Not sure I'd like to ride the 'Crucifixion' ride, though.
Especially funny about the link you provided is that CVS uses an icon for their "Medicine Cabinet" category which is a generic picture of a white box with a (drum roll, please) red cross on it. Is CVS next on J&J's lawyers' list?
All that, and if you're using regular speakers, you shouldn't be allowed to play music loud enough that it can be heard in any other room of your house, nor should you allow unauthorized personnel into the room where it is playing.

Didn't your mother ever tell you not to do that?

Ahhhhh, thank God.

If that was their ping, I'd hate to see their router!
'Cause there aren't any LEO caves from which Al Qaeda can jump out and scare us.
Drums that raise our awareness of global warming.

Unless they thought her boobs were filled with plastic explosives there's really not much there.
FTFA: "She was holding a lump of what looked like putty in her hands."
Putty, not boobs.
How do you get force feedback on those things?
You feel the force through The Force, young padawan!
There is a massive amount of ice in Antarctica, which lies upon land.

'Cause misery loves company?
I think it was a joke.
That may not help, depending on the sophistication of the keylogging software. Here's an interesting article I found on the subject... http://www.pcmag.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=18129 0,00.asp

Mouse with head still attached? Yep, they'll take care of that, too!

Absolutely. Starting with their shock troops, aka "Eagle Scouts", with their freshly-sharpened talons flashing in the morning sun. Look out!
They're selling *licenses* to the hack? And will they send the BSA after someone if they suspect they're under-licensed?
Thank you - I was just wondering if this discussion had anything to do with the 'loudness' knob (or single button, in some cases).
