I don't know... it seemed to have some major issues.
For one, the body isn't grown to deal with the temperature swings found in space. I'd also imagine that the wearer would develop bruising over the entire surface of thier body due to a lack of counterpressure on pores.
Then there's the little problem of the astronaut getting a paper cut when he goes to 'feel' something. How much would it suck (pun intended) to have all your blood flow out through a paper cut. This is also ignoring that we'd need another 'helmet' around our waist.
I don't know... interesting idea... but I doubt a suit with pores in it would ever standup to muster.
"You don't have liberty without security, so what's the point of talking about preserving all your civil liberties when you're not free anyway?"
That sounds like one of those lines that you'd hear in Matrix type movies that sounds deep... until you actually think about it.
The fact is, weare exposed to 'insecurities' on a daily basis, regardless of terrorists. It's a fact of life that 'shit happens'. Allowing people to impose knee-jerk laws because 'shit happens' is folly. If the money put towards the war on terror was put towards better healthcare and inner-city police, it would have likely saved more lives. Sure, we may have had more suicide bombings and the like... but the number killed would pale in comparison to the good that money 'could' have done. The amount of money being put into this defense is wasted compared to the risk.
I currently work as an engineering consultant in the commercial transit industry. After 9/11 there was an influx of money for security. Some of this money went towards cement cameras, roadblocks and other physical security. A large percentage of it was wasted on studies (admittedly, by fellow consultants) about how to make transportation systems safe.
The outcome? You can't make transit much safer than it is without making it useless.
So the London bombings happen, and there are already a bunch of RFPs on the street for more studies and more camera systems. Mind you, the studies were mostly completed within the last year and new studies will have the same answer.The cameras put in place the last time are currently going unused by most agencies/companies and are not actively monitored. Most are on 24 hour loops. At best you get a picture of the guy that decided to blow himself (and others) up.
About $7 BILLION dollars was thrown at additional security for transportation. Perhaps you can point out where all that money went, and why exactly that makes us more secure than having larger police/rescue agencies. Law/policymakers need some perspecive on just how much good our money is doing.
I fly 3 or 4 times a month, and would feel more secure if that money had went another source. Hell, putting that $7 billion towards education would have probably yielded better results in terms of long term safety.
The influx of tens of thousands of requests exactly at the same time floods the spammers' Web site, causing it to become inoperable.

Seriously, the only difference here is intent. Slashdoters doen't intend (usually) to DDOS a site. They intend to look at it.
By "We are just trying to slow these sites down so much the spammers can't earn money" he means 'we are trying to unsubscribe as many people as possible as fast as possible'.... honest... that's what he means. Even if it isn't what he means, it's a damn good excuse.
All he needs to do is cover the actions 'intent' and get away with it.
Why try and fix the problem when you can be lazy?
Cat throwing up hair balls? Throw it out. A new kitten can be found for almost free.
Child caught the flu? Throw them out. A new child only takes a few minutes of your time.
Wife of 30 years getting old and frail? Throw her out. A not so slightly used hooker can be had for $50 so it's a cost effective and 'rational response.'
Of course, none of this applies in communist russia, where the wives throw you out.
Or, perhaps, the palm is also a good device?
It's extrememly annoying not being able to just put a document on my PocketPC and read it. On the Palm I used to just convert the file to text, and be done with it.
Niether device is perfect. I use PocketPC because it has applications I need. If I didn't need them, I'd be back on my Palm because it Just Works(TM).
My perfect 'PDA' was actually a half ounce buisness card sized computer from Radio Shack. It had two lines of text and a keypad. I used it for 5 years and never had an issue (except I had to 'back up' all my phone numbers on a pad of paper).
Getting that heat away from the chip is the first concern. After that is is a fairly simple job to disperse it. Instead of using huge fins on the chip, you can now move that energy away from the chip where you have more room and ways to remove the heat from the box.
It's the same way the radiator in your car works. It's only moving the thermal energy to a different place, but it's a place which absorbs the heat at a higher rate.
Democracy - Government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives
Democracy seem to be VERY entwined with free speech. The important word in the above definition is -exercised-. It is very difficult to exercise your will without a certain measure of free will, yelling fire in a crowded theater not withstanding.
You'll probably lose ranking if the non-google-UA bot that checks up on this sees different content
Surprisingly Google has thought of this (and I'm guessing most other engines). It will not complain if the link points to the same page with different GET variables (removing SID), as long as the actual text is the same.
Your directory idea is basically how the PHPBB modification does it, except it is a unique HTML name for each thread instead of a unique directory. For some odd reason, google will still follow links to both a folder or file with different GET variables (although not consistantly). You have to use robots.txt to block the get variables (which is made easier when the same page has different names depending if it uses GET variables).
I'm sorry, but most of the people who replied to this parent are simply wrong. Google WILL crawl an entire forum if you treat it right. For instance, google has crawled just about every page on my forum: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.ma geacadem y.com+forum+-sid&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&filte r=0
The problem is in the way it crawls. Originally, it was finding the same page MANY different ways. Most aggravating was it treating new SID tags as new pages. This can be seen below: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.ma geacadem y.com+forum+sid&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&filter =0
Out of my +60 pages, it indexed +300. The solution seems to have 3 steps: 1) remove any user unique tags when you see a bot visiting 2) limit the bot to view only certain pages (no post/login/search/etc) 3) make your files 'look' static (Change forum.php?f=1 to forum1.htm)
www.phpbb.com has a couple threads on how to do this. Even if you use another forum, the general idea is the same.
Railroads have been forced to run unprofitable lines since trains were invented. It's due too two causes: 1) Politics. Every town wants to be close to a line. Even after demand dies out, towns still fight to keep a railstop. 2) Usability. The NEC would make the most money if they only operated peak hour trains, and did maintenance during the day. Luck for us, they realize that less people would take it because they'd be stuck at their destination for hours if they had to go back.
Rail is an unprofitable business. It needs government funds to maintain itself. This has always been the case, except on the local routes previously mentioned.

There is 'defense' within the cell.
Lupus is partially do to the body trying to attack the DNA within cells.
Earth Cam is good, but it doesn't seem very inclusive.
The perfect solution would be something like MapQuest, with users being able to add the URL of a webcab and set it's position on a map.
The only complicated part I see here is the interactive map. Anyone know an easy/straightforward way to do it?
Now THERE'S an idea!

So you go to Canada, buy new tires, and are no longer seen as the same car.
It's not much of a secret government plot if
1) Everyone knows that it's possible
2) It can be foiled by changing your tires
