How about bluetooth ingition systems? Then we can start our cars remotely, someone can jump into it, and drive it off. All this can be done without us even being in line sight of our vehicles. Sure it sounds dumb, but it's high tech!
Can I push the gas pedal down hard enough to triumph over the computer system? I would really hate to see a computer have more control than the human. We've seen plenty of movies, where that happened.
I would say you are missing out on the wait in line with other fanatics, but people will wait in line for DVD releases too. They just don't dress up as often.
When I used AOL for a dialup ISP during the summers, I never really wanted to cancel. I just said I wanted to cancel, saying the features aren't everything I was looking for in an ISP. Then I waited for the free offer of another three months. It was a great way to get an ISP for the summer.
I see a problem with that list. Yes, Linux is a free operating system, but then the list says Windows Movie Maker is free video editing software. I love that software, and I didn't pay for it directly. It runs on Windows ME and XP. Most of the applications that follow run on Windows. That's going to confuse people when they think they can run everything on the list for free.
I suppose some arears of science are experiencing that decline, but look at our armed forces. We're creating lasers to shoot projectiles out of the air, even in close proximity. We've created a microwave gun attached to a truck. I consider these to be both science and technology.
That's an excellent point. What if I mail the wrong person accidentally? Sure, I am not going to get convicted of anything, but think about the time if someone wants me investigated. It's not just my time and resources, but the time and resources to look into it.
I see a problem with this thinking, not for most Slashdotters, but the average user doesn't even know what he subscribes to as far as mailing lists go. When I get email I think about where I have bought stuff from recently, to make sure I didn't forget to opt out of something. I give that vendor the benefit of the doubt. Most users out there won't think twice and legitimate operations are going to come under fire. While they may not shut down, the costs to prove they are in the right is a waste of their time. This may effectively raise operating costs of any operation that relies on email to do its marketing.
The problem is that much of the spam out there is sent illegally. There is no care for who wants in or not with these guys. Sending from a remote, infected machine takes care of sending from your own server and being identified. So, we don't get mail from mailserver.com, but we get mail from every infected computer on XO's broadband and other ISPs that don't seem to care about the spam out there.
That means you are a beta tester! Shhhh! You're breaking the code! Now people are going to show up in Google robes and sacrifice you to the Google gods! I've said too much already.
Forgive my ignorance, but when I drive up from Southern California to Northern California, there is still nothing to do in the car. Have any of these wireless networks been implemented for anything other than records? I would love to see huge areas blanketed with wireless.
I see a rise in crocodile stock and a fall of other contraceptive stock. I will personally keep a croc in my pants. It's something I like to call safe sex.
I don't see it being too different from those free ISPs. A bar going across the top displaying some text ads can be relatively unintrusive for free wireless.
I think once in the past three years I've seen on month without an update that was critical. Also, the way I've seen it, is that you have three to six months before the vulnerabilities are widely attacked. There are always people that are quicker on the ball, but three to six months is a good range before every other website is taking advantage of thtese vulnerabilities from what I've seen.
I know there are companies like Packet 8, that allow you to take your VOIP box with you, but you still need a regular phone and cables to go with it. This is most excellent.

The question is, who owns the patent on shipping MP3 players with viruses? Will they take legal action?

I see live video streams of the Crocodile Hunter in our future.
"She's a beautiful critter! Look at the power of her jaws as she's chomping on my laptop!"

While the movie studios don't have direct control over these prices, a $10 admission and a $3 hot dog in the theater seems a little ridiculous.
I think this has been covered before. Make a throne.

Are the billboards going to be solving the problems in our life too? [imdb.com]

Sweet! Now Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter, will be even more popular.

What's that smell?
Absolute power!
I believe he was beaten to death, not shot.
I didn't want any more people reading through my diary.
They better not be going to PowerPC architecture! *Shakes fist* Darn you, Apple!
