I haven't noticed a problem in New York, though I confess I've only been there a few weeks in total. I suspect these incidents are few and far between.
Generally, nothing. People love going on about this, but in every city I've lived in (Canberra, Sydney, Toronto, and London )the public transport has been clean. You're much more likely to run into disastrous misplacement of bodily fluids on the street.
Those fossils have been found. Thousands of examples exist. It's just that those who deny evolution seem to lose interest once directed to the scientific literature to read about those examples.
Unfortunately, minor variations on passwords also mean hours of frustration trying to get your password/username combination right. Telling people to have a different password for every site is just useless advice--no one can remember that many passwords. More practical advice would be use different passwords for sites where money could be stolen from you, for everything else, use a "junk" password.
You know, all of those scores look suspiciously high, even for a heavily biased sample. And since they were not directly tested I call horseshit on that article.
As I understand it, a country cannot "save" for the future like an individual can. People have to be supported when they retire with work from other people--money doesn't do it, it will just devalue.
If people can no longer pirate Office they will start using OpenOffice or Google's apps, not buy Office. Cue end of office app dominance for Microsoft.
I've played around with freenet. I don't know how secure it is, but in any case that was irrelevant, because it was unusably slow (on my 2mb up/20mb down ADSL2 connection). And we're not talking 56k slow here, we're talking 5-10 minutes for a page of text with a couple of little pictures. It's meant to get faster the longer you leave it on. It didn't in the four days I had it running.
Giving up liberty for security is a perfectly reasonable position (we do it all the time), and frankly, I find your offense at it bizarre. Pretending that it's outside the realms of rationality is ludicrous.
Yeah, and they'll think you're full of shit and you'll look like an idiot. Storage can be cool--lots of kinda neat hardware which does things pretty fast.
I agree. Also, I'd add that space exploration is called space exploration for a reason. It's not space science. We're out there to explore. The science malarky is a cover.
Err, "average" people also want things >now (like I do, maybe I'm average). Convenience is a huge factor. Downloads are going to relegate physical media to a special interest because they are (or will be) so damn easy. Want to watch x? Search, click, watch x.

Yes! Somebody for the love of god give Inkscape a push! It's so close to being there. I've considered pitching in, but a programmer I just ain't.

Also a large part of the London Underground network runs without drivers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLR

Yes. Yes you are.

Err... freenet?

I've never understood why Western society (and others) glorify the pissup.
That's 'cos you're a square. Like a cube, man!

Yes! This is really important. You could work on this by talking about how this stuff talks to other stuff, and how it can go wrong.
This is rubbish. You do have to be interesting, but don't expect that fourth graders are stupid and all they want is flashy bullshit.

You know, even if you're doing something good, if you do it with ill temper and lack of grace, you're still being an arse.
Yeah, it's really mind boggling how people dislike being insulted and patronised. Idiots.
Wow, you need to calm the fuck down. Do you carry on like this on Wikipedia? I could see why you'd have difficulty defending your case!
That's a lot of pr0n.
Great, so civilization falls, and we then we have to put up with the sky falling on our heads?! Oh the humanity!
